Discover the Triangle's Exciting New Restaurants and Cafes Opening Soon

Update Exciting New Culinary Ventures Launching in the Triangle The Triangle area is buzzing with culinary excitement as several new restaurants and eateries are set to open their doors! April 20th marks the anticipated opening of Crooked Hammock Brewery at GlenLake, near Crabtree Valley Mall. Founder Rich Garrahan envisions a vibrant space where locals can relax in hammocks while enjoying homemade craft beer and hearty cookout fare. This brewery will join the thriving community of locations in Delaware and Myrtle Beach, promising a lively backyard gathering place for food and beer enthusiasts alike. Mission BBQ: A Taste of Tradition Raleigh’s food scene is on the rise, exemplified by the recent opening of Mission BBQ on April 14th in the Stonehenge Market Shopping Center. This marks their first location in the Triangle, following four others across North Carolina. Each Mission BBQ outlet is known for its dedication to authentic BBQ and community service, inviting residents to immerse themselves in the local culture through food. The Arrival of Super Chix: Creating Fresh Experiences In the realm of fast-casual dining, Super Chix will soon debut in Raleigh at 4112 Lake Boone Trail. Known for using only fresh, never frozen chicken, this brand positions itself as a contender in the ever-expanding fast-food market. With this new venture, the owners aim to offer quality ingredients and delicious offerings that resonate with health-conscious diners. Grain & Berry: Emphasizing Health and Wellness Apex is preparing for its own health-focused culinary addition with the upcoming Grain & Berry cafe. Slated to open later this summer, this eatery will offer a menu centered around nutrient-rich ingredients, promoting a balanced lifestyle choice. This second location in North Carolina will appeal to users looking for healthy on-the-go options. Capital One Café: More Than Just Coffee This family-friendly environment comes with a twist, as Capital One Café opens its doors at the Streets at Southpoint on April 21. Beyond just serving coffee, the café promotes financial tools and offers members exclusive discounts on hand-crafted beverages — a clever marketing strategy to engage both customers and potential banking clients. Mobile Coffee Culture on the Rise On a more personal note, the community can look forward to the debut of Three Waters Cafe, a mobile coffee trailer in Chapel Hill. While full operations await completion of their brick-and-mortar location, they will set up their cart starting May 12th, making quality coffee accessible to busy shoppers at Eastgate Shopping Center. A Note on Recent Closures While the new openings entertain many, it’s also essential to note the changing landscape of local eateries. Fresco Veloce, which had been part of the Morgan Street Food Hall, has ceased operations after just over a year, hinting at transformations to come in its absence. Additionally, Crafted, the Art of The Taco, will close its Mebane location, though the Greensboro spot remains open. Meanwhile, Kings in North Hills will undergo renovations, expected to last several months. Food Truck Rodeos: Community and Culinary Joy The vibrant community spirit continues with the Durham Central Park Food Truck Rodeo, set for May 31 and September 27. This popular showcase will feature over 30 food trucks, family-friendly activities, and the joyful ambience of local gatherings, enhancing the Triangle's reputation as a food lover's paradise. Final Thoughts: A Promising Culinary Future The Triangle's rapidly changing food landscape reflects its dynamic community. With a blend of fresh culinary innovations and established favorites, local residents have much to celebrate in terms of dining options. As new eateries open, they not only elevate the culinary scene but also foster community spirit, ensuring that the Triangle's gastronomic portfolio remains diverse and enticing.
