The first Joe Van Gogh cafe! Our original location has come a long way and served a lot of folks since we were roasting our coffee by the front door. As a cornerstone of the Chapel Hill community, JVG is a “third place” where conversation between friends, quiet contemplation for one, or a student study group are all welcomed. There is seating both inside and out, with a few community tables for larger groups. Take a book from the free library. Use the community printer. Enjoy the latest local art hanging on our walls. This cafe set the template for us: providing friendly, comfortable and safe spaces for everyone through good coffee and chill vibes.
Cafe gift cards can be used in either our Chapel Hill, Broad St, SouthCourt or Woodcroft locations. They are not redeemable on our website, UNC cafe, or Cedar West.
