Editorial Review for Third Place – by Kira Krauss
In Short
Just a few blocks from the corporate competition, Third Place keeps customers loyal with stellar coffee, a laid-back atmosphere and a quality menu of sandwiches (lots of veggie options) and desserts. Area art adorns the walls and the clientele is a mix of musicians, hipsters, intellectuals and neighborhood folks. Local and proud, even the coffee is a product of Raleigh (Larry's Beans).

Since I cut out certain types of meat I can really appreciate establishments that offer a lot of vegetarian options. Third Place has all sorts of interesting salads, soups, and sandwiches without meat being involved. I haven't tried everything on the menu yet but the food has been fresh and delicious each time so far. They also have a lot of interesting coffee and tea drinks. Prices are also very reasonable. The only downside is that this is mainly a coffee shop, so it isn't a very large establishment with only a few tables. Also it is not a place to go if you are in a hurry, I've had to wait 30 mins just to get a plate of hummus and raw vegetables before. They make everything behind the counter in a very tiny space as you order it. If you can relax and enjoy the music the food should be worth the wait.

We used to love going to Third Place on the weekends, meeting friends, socializing, reading, occasionally working, and enjoying the coffeehouse atmosphere with people doing much the same. In the last few months the atmosphere has really gone downhill-there are so many toddlers and young children there, poorly supervised, with toys strewn everywhere, kids jumping on the couches,there was some sort of hide and seek going on today, running between the very tightly spaced tables, and the noise level made it difficult to hear what my husband was saying this morning. It is simply too small of a place to have unsupervised children running around- McDonalds playroom anyone? I recommend Morning Times to anyone who misses the peaceful coffeehouse atmosphere like we do.
