The Third Place

About

The Third Place is a coffeeshop on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, cozy and more than a little eclectic, with local art on the walls. Coffee and food come together here, and the room is an easy one to sit in for a while, whether you are working, reading, or meeting someone.

It has been on Glenwood since the mid-1990s, which makes it one of the longer-running coffee shops in the city. David Benson, the current owner, bought the business in 2004 and has run it ever since.
