Where is the Royal Bean located?
The Royal Bean Coffee house is not the easiest place to locate your first time out looking, but it is treasure worth finding.  We are located at 3801-137 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, NC‎, which puts us directly across from the front gates of Meredith College.  Go to our “contacts and directions page” at the top of this blog on the menu tabs or just follow this link: http://royalbeancoffeehouse.com/blog/contact-info-directions/.  From here you can click on our Google map.  Tips: If you’re coming off the Beltline (440) towards Meredith college, then we’ll be on the right hand side of the road.  We’re located directly across from the front gates of Meredith College.  We’re located in a large brick Mall that used to be called the, Royal Bakery.  We are located in between ‘Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream’ and ‘The Brick House’. If you are coming down Hillsborough St away from Downtown Raleigh and NCSU, then we will be on the left hand side just past the Gorman and Faircloth intersection.  We are a great place for college students to meet, play games, study, or listen to live music on the weekends.  We are also ideal for business people to have group meetings or just come and use us for your office!   We have free WiFi!  Our coffee is freshly Roasted weekly in Raleigh, freshly ground daily, and freshly brewed.  We have fresh sandwiches and sweets coming in just about daily. Please come visit this area of Hillsborough ST.  You’ll have the best cup of coffee or espresso drink around!

Hello all!  Today will be the last day for our Pumpkin spice drink specials.  I hope all enjoyed it.  Keep your eye out!  New specials coming soon!

From all of us at the Royal Bean we are wishing you a very ‘Happy New Year’.  Here are some fun quotes to bring in the New year:
For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
~T.S. Eliot, “Little Gidding”
People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas.  ~Author Unknown
And ye, who have met with Adversity’s blast,
And been bow’d to the earth by its fury;
To whom the Twelve Months, that have recently pass’d
Were as harsh as a prejudiced jury -
Still, fill to the Future! and join in our chime,
The regrets of remembrance to cozen,
And having obtained a New Trial of Time,
Shout in hopes of a kindlier dozen.
~Thomas Hood
Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.
~Martin Luther
A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I’ve played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
~Edgar Guest
