This rating will hopefully go up soon. I arrived a little before what I thought was closing time (based on Google maps) but it was already closed. I asked next-door if the hours changed and they thought it was closing at 1600 now (seasonal, I’m sure - makes total sense).So, I submitted updated hours to Google Maps and I’ll have to find an opportunity in the future to tip the balance on my current neutral rating.

This is the best place to get coffee in town - period. The owner literally built the little tin trailer with his own hands and it’s packed to the brim with little knick knacks and art. Brewing coffee and making espresso drinks is an art, and you can tell he has got it down perfectly. You can add frills if you want (I love the marshmallow latte, it’s just sweet enough) but if you just want a good cup of joe where you can really taste the full flavor of the beans…go to the back of the seating area by Al’s where it looks like some scrap was left out and discover the best coffee in town.

The BEST cappuccino in Chapel Hill.The BEST service by a maître-café (popularly referred to by the Italian term "Barrista" which is overused, imo).The BEST outdoor ambiance in Chapel Hill.Tin Cup Joe is in the perfect little corner of downtown.. accessible by foot, lots of parking in close proximity.They take CASH money[!] ...as well as plastic forms.[*some local cafés are not accepting cash; these are perpetuating systemic racism due to the fact that the overwhelming majority of people on the low end of the economic spectrum are of specific skin colors. e.g.: if you want to reduce economic (ergo racial) bias, vote with coinage and paper money, **demand** those places you patronize accept CASH!]If you want the authenticity and banter-wisdom of a great, old-school bartender presented with the delivery of quality espresso and or tea... Stop in at Tin Cup Joe; you won't regret it.I am just a Customer, not an owner/investor.. nor was I paid for this glowing endorsement.Parking: Lots of on-street parking, parking lot available across the main drag.

Excellent coffee shop with good drinks and quality conversation. The owner, Chris, makes extra efforts to keep his customers comfortable despite changes in the weather.

It's an owner operated coffee shop with tea, delta, sodas and character. Plenty of seating and believe it or not they allow smoking.

Great coffee at a reasonable price (latte was $5 before tip, standard for the quality around here). Fast service from a friendly gentleman serving right out of a camper. Also saw CBD/Delta-8 products for sale, as well as some assorted packaged snacks. Drink lids and sleeves were available at the window. Delicious, simple coffee without frills or fancy add-ons. Perfect location too, with a few shaded tables and chairs to hang out at. A great spot that still feels undiscovered, right behind Al's Burger Shack on Franklin.

Top unique drink in the area with the Dr. pepper Latte! You can get it iced or normal! So many other great drinks too with great vibes and kind staff. 10/10 recommend

I work on the same street and have seen the shop numerous times. Stopped by to give it a shot today. As I walked up, I was greeted and given a rundown of the offerings. I ordered a latte and he jumped in and made it pretty quickly. He was extremely friendly, too. Tried it as soon as he handed it to me and it was one of the best latter's I've ever had!! Definitely recommend!

There's all sorts of magic in this wee mobile coffee shop. Harney and Sons teas, Italian sodas of many varieties and Lovely espresso beverages with ample outdoor seating. Famed for the Drm Pepper Latte, which is, IMHO, sweet, but delicious!

The owners are very knowledgeable about their products. I really can’t speak highly enough about Chris and Erin.They serve locally sourced coffee (Carrboro Coffee Roasters)They have unique and delicious drinks. Their Dr. Pepper Lattee is ridiculously good.They give a hearty 1 tablespoon of Kava which is better than other local Kava places.

Nice little no-frills spot to get some coffee. Quality of the drinks depends on who is working— sometimes excellent, sometimes pretty good.

I had a tasty Americano here. There is a cool outdoor patio and plenty of parking in the adjacent gravel lot. It is a little spot, but i got served right away. All and all, I will most likely revisit this place.

An excellent cup of coffee and an even better iced Americano. The water that they use is filtered 7 times, while area coffee shops use tap water, and since coffee is 99.99% water, the quality of water matters. Truly delicious.

This is the best coffee in Chapel Hill/Carrboro. The ambiance is great and Chris is a great guy with a great sense of humor. I highly recommend Tin Cup Joe.

Best coffee shop in the Triangle. The coffeetender might seem gruff at first, but deep down he's sugarsweet, and it makes the coffee better.

Always a great place for a conversation and a card game, and some of the best coffee in town.
