PERFECTION :). Carolina Coffee Shop is my favorite place to eat in Chapel Hill by FAR! As a UNC student, it's so nice to eat there with friends, go there for lunch and a study session, etc.! The service is always excellent, and the food/menu options are amazing as well. I always have trouble deciding what to order because everything is incredible! Also, if you enjoy sweet tea...GET IT HERE! It's always awesome. In short, EAT HERE! You'll never regret it!!!!

GREAT PLACE FOR CHEESE FRIES & COLD BEER!!. WE EAT THERE AND WE ARE AWESOME! All kidding aside, it has the BEST CHEESE FRIES to go with cold beer on all of Franklin St. (or anywhere else in the Chapel Hill/Durham area for that matter). It is under new management since July, 2009 and smack in the MIDDLE of Franklin St. - perfect location! Try them out.

Carolina Coffee Shop a "must stop". Brunch today @ the Carolina Coffee Shop (under new ownership) was perfect in every way. We were seated promptly, the service was efficient and attentive, and, most importantly, the Eggs Benedict arrived quickly, and perfectly cooked. Very highly recommended

Not so good. Overpriced and simply not worth the porice. Waiter was rather rude and condescending...why I do not know?

It's changed!. The Coffee Shop was for years our place to take out-of-towners or for a comfortable dinner with friends before crossing the street to the Varsity Theater. The place had an interesting & changing menu with innovative items (trout was always interesting). It "feel" was old, local, comfortable, established, historic (since 1926).

No more. Apparently the business plan has changed to attract UNC students.

Last night we entered to hear muzak from the 60s and current. The menu is almost all burgers, sandwiches and a few salads (there are daily entrees, but none last night were appealing). My Coffee House Club Turkey was an acceptable turkey sandwich, but it was not a club sandwich, and it offered only modest amounts of turkey, bacon, lettuce & tomato (at $8, it was overpriced and not really as good as Arby's). My wife's grilled tuna sandwich was ordered with whole wheat bread came in a hamburger bun, and the tuna was dry.

The pecan pie was indeed very good - better, my wife said, than her own recipe.

But from now on, if we eat downtown it will be (gasp!) at Spanky's because of their wider menu (or Pepper's for pizza). And if we take out-of-towners to Franklin Street, we'll stick with Top of the Hill.
