The atmosphere of this local coffee shop was incredible! I enjoyed a latte and it was perfect. The staff was very friendly and patient with me and they had a great selection of different offerings. They brought out your drink and food to you and allowed me to have a relaxing experience. I came in to do homework with a friend and I was able to focus with the great background music and the low volume of customers.

My wife and I have been coming to Benelux since it first opened a long time ago, and have visited regularly through previous owners. I am so pleased with the work that Luis and his team are doing since taking over! The space is now more inviting, the team is friendlier, and the coffee is the best it's ever been. I know they source beans from a local Wake Forest coffee roaster as well.Please support local and visit Luis and his team. If you don't, you are missing out!

Great place to bring your dog inside the dining area, as Benelux does not enforce NC Food Code 6-501.115. Not sure if they really just don't care about hygiene or if they're afraid to tell potential customers "no".

EDIT 2/2/2024: had to change my review from 4 to 5 stars after visiting today (first time in a few years) and having the most delightful experience! My husband and I assumed they only had their signature waffles for food options, but were pleased to see they now have other things as well, so we each ordered a quiche (1 lorraine and 1 spinach). They were incredibly delicious and plated like we were at a fine dining restaurant. The employee who took our order could not have been more joyful, it was infectious and enhanced our visit. It was busy but there were still plenty of seating options.Review from 2018: Great coffee, friendly & unpretentious baristas, delicious Belgian waffles (a little pricey, but a nice splurge). The space is nice, too, and I love to snag the love seat/couch when they are available. Even if it's busy and crowded, there's ample seating indoors and out.

I was here this morning to work and the music was SO LOUD. I asked the barista to turn it down nicely but he either didn't want to or know how to. It was the worst kind of 2012 folk pop music as well. Not a good place to work or even think with music that loud.

Waffles are amazing! Small so not much seating space. No street parking but free parking garage.Parking: Parking garage behind building
