Great seasonal muffins and drinks. Their French press and americanos are always good. Nice to watch the trains go by outside

I am partial to tea lattes and they had two seasonal tea options for me to try and both were excellent. I have ordered them on multiple occasions and was pleasantly surprised that my hot latte was served at the perfect temperature to enjoy immediately each time! Service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was inviting and refreshing. I'm recommending to everyone!

Capybara is one of our favorite coffee shops around. We drive from Indiana to NC or FL at least 3 times a year and always make sure to stop at capybara. I love their cappuccino, it is not traditional like I usually prefer... but they add cinnamon to the top which is a welcomed addition. Their lattes are also excellent!! They have a few tables inside and outside to enjoy a drink. If you’re in the area, or even just passing through you MUST get a coffee here!

Capybara Coffee was an awesome addition to my Sunday coffee shop adventures! The cafe was easy to find, lots of parking available, comfortable outdoor seating, instagram-worthy aesthetic, very clean, surprisingly inexpensive, and the service was impeccable! The pastry selection was varied and unique, and the coffee was smooth and strong. 5 stars!

A lovely coffee shop! If we lived near here I could definitely see myself coming here often. They have free wifi, friendly staff, and board games too. A decent amount of seats and a nice atmosphere.

Barista was friendly and knowledgeable, the interior is cozy (And has a board game shelf!) And the rose Cardamom Latte I had was truly one if the most delightful coffee drinks I've ever had. Highly recommend
