What People Are Saying…

“Narrative Coffee has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the area. I’ve probably tried every drink on the menu, and I’ve yet to be disappointed. My top pick for coffee is the Butter Beer Latte with pistachio milk, and for matcha, it’s hands down the blue matcha with pistachio milk. There’s something about the pistachio milk that takes every drink to the next level. The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering outstanding customer service. This is definitely a place worth checking out! Ask for pistachio milk!”
— Anna
“Ok, listen. If you want a FANTASTIC cup of coffee from a kind and caring Raleigh local, find where this truck is and get yourself a beverage!
I've tried a couple of his specialty drinks and they ALL have been amazing. His most recent seasonal latte that I tried AND LOVE is the Saturday Morning. Get it ICED! So, so tasty.
The owner is a really kind and hard working person and it is so great to see that he worked so hard to fulfill his passion and achieve his dream of opening this truck, a mobile coffee stand and soon a brick and mortar. So excited to see your place in Durham!!
Congrats on all your success and thank you for a GREAT cup of coffee! :) “

GET TO KNOW US
Narrative Coffee Company was born in Raleigh, Nc from a simple belief; coffee has the power to bring people together and create shared stories. We started with a small cart and trailer, Meeting people where they were, at markets, festivals, and neighborhood gatherings, and turning everyday moments into meaningful connections. From the very beginning, our focus has never been just coffee, but on people. Every interaction matters to us, whether it’s remembering your favorite order, sharing a laugh, or serving at a special event.
Raleigh will always be our home base, a city that’s creative, diverse, and full of energy! It’s where our story began and where we continue to serve a community that supported us since day one. The people of Raleigh welcomed us with open arms, and their love for both craft and connection has shaped who we are as a business. As we’ve grown, Durham has become a natural extension of that story. Like Raleigh, It’s a city with its own unique rhythm, vibrant, supportive, and rooted in community. Being apart of downtown Durham allows us to meet new neighbors, collaborate with other local businesses, and contribute to the culture that values people just as much a coffee. The response from both communities has been humbling and heartwarming. From our beginnings in Raleigh to our new chapter in durham, people have shown up, spread the word, and turned from customers to friends. It reminds us daily that Narrative isn’t just about drinks, It’s about creating a space where people feel seen, valued, and connected.
Looking ahead, our next big goal is to open a permanent brick-and-mortar in Raleigh, the city where a story first began. Alongside our growth in Durham, we’re excited to keep building spaces that bring people together, whether through community events, new locations, or simply sharing our love for specialty coffee. Through it all, we remain committed to the heart of Narrative: coffee as a bridge for connections. One cup, one story, one community at a time. Cheers!
