If you’ve spent any time in downtown New Bern, you know our local coffee scene just keeps getting better — and the newest addition, New Bern Coffee Roasters, is already brewing up a buzz.

Located in the former Captain Ratty’s building, this locally owned shop has completely transformed the space into a warm, inviting spot that’s perfect for your morning pick-me-up, a study session, or catching up with friends.


A Fresh Brew in a Familiar Spot

It’s always exciting to see a historic space get a new life, and New Bern Coffee Roasters did just that. With its clean, modern design, plenty of seating, and the fun double bike hanging from the ceiling, this coffee shop has a fresh energy while keeping that cozy, local vibe.

My wife and I stopped by this past Saturday after visiting the New Bern Farmers Market, and we were seriously impressed. I ordered the Maple Cold Brew, and she went for an Iced Vanilla Latte — both were delicious, smooth, and full of flavor.

We’re looking forward to grabbing a loaf of sourdough on our next stop in — we’ve heard from friends that it’s amazing!


The Perfect Place to Sip and Stay Awhile

New Bern Coffee Roasters has that ideal “sit and stay” kind of atmosphere. Whether you’re working remotely, reading a book, or just catching up with friends, it’s one of those spots that makes you want to linger a little longer.

With plenty of natural light and a relaxed, creative vibe, we’re already looking forward to making this one of our new regular weekend stops.


Local Roots, Local Roasts

What makes New Bern Coffee Roasters even better is their focus on locally roasted coffee. You can taste the freshness in every cup — it’s small-batch roasted right here in town, which means more flavor and quality in every pour.

They also offer bags of beans for sale, so you can take that fresh-roasted goodness home with you.


Final Thoughts

New Bern Coffee Roasters is exactly what downtown needed — a bright, local hangout where great coffee meets great community. Whether you’re heading to the Farmers Market, exploring downtown, or just in the mood for something new, this is a must-visit spot for coffee lovers.

We’re already looking forward to becoming regulars — and maybe finding our favorite spot by the window.
