Editorial Review for Open Eye Cafe – by Zach Hanner
In Short
The entrance ramp of the Open Eye Cafe leads to a small porch, perfect for a fall evening's pick-me-up. The creak of the front door raises eyes and prompts the barista to greet you with a broad smile. The interior is cozy, scattered with thrift store chairs and couches that consistently rotate and change positions. It just goes to show that the best way to do things is often the simplest.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasIn the corner, you might spy a solo guitarist picking bluegrass or perhaps a jazzy funk combo laying down lo-fi grooves for all the bean heads. The music is mellow and offsets the edge that often accompanies caffeine dens.
Know Before You GoDon't stop in hungry. The menu is strictly coffee, tea and Italian sodas, with iced and decaf options.

I consume quite a bit of coffee over the course of the week, but I certainly look forward to my weekend mornings at Open Eye. As a coffee lover, I have to say that everything from their mochas to their drip is delicious. I only wish they had more by way of food to nibble on while drinking and playing on their wonderful wi-fi.

The coffee is good, but i haven't found the same love for it that the other reviewer did--when i went there last night, they were only rated 90.5 by the health inspector and by the way--it's not in Chapel Hill, it's in Carrboro. The best coffee in CH remains DRIADE (even though both shops are owned by the same person and the baristas sometimes trade spaces).
