Jubala Coffee – North Hills

Jubala Coffee’s North Hills shop is on Park at North Hills Street, part of a Raleigh coffee company that makes every drink to order. The company buys directly from the farmers who grow its coffee and sells home brewing equipment alongside the drinks.

Owner Andrew Cash grew up in Raleigh, and the locally owned places he passed on the bus to school are the model for what he built. The company traces its beginning to 2000, when an eighteen-year-old from the city befriended a Kenyan man and his village.
