Graham, NC

[DIShGo]

Halfway between Greensboro and Durham, NC, lies the small town of Graham. This is where Don and I decided to stop for cup of coffee to break up our post-eclipse drive back to D.C. The town is small and sleepy, and we didn't have high hopes for finding an outstanding coffee shop here. Boy, were we surprised to stumble upon Press Coffee and Crepes, a delightful spot where I savored one of the best cups of coffee I have ever enjoyed.

Don and I both ordered iced, nitro cold-pressed coffees. They were incredibly smooth and delicious. The shop has a laid-back, hip vibe, with comfortable chairs and an inviting ambiance. The pastries on display looked tasty, but we didn't try any. If you are driving between Greensboro and Durham, this gem is well worth a visit.
