Located at 134 East Martin Street in Downtown Raleigh, 42 & Lawrence offers coffees, teas, and pastries. It is open from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Sunday-Thursday, 7-7 Friday and Saturday, and closed Monday. Specialty beverages rotate seasonally, and online ordering is available.
Named for
a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference (and for local roaster
Larry Larson), it is perhaps somewhat fitting that this gem of a coffee shop
has become our annual post-GalaxyCon caffeinate-and-cool off destination. While
it boasts a sleek modern ambiance and welcoming staff, the biggest draw can be
summed up in two words: coffee flights. With options including nitro cold brews,
draft lattes, and more, this is a great way to sample a bit of everything and
still get your caffeine fix. They are my wife’s go-to order while I usually opt
for one of the seasonal drinks. The orange creamsicle I tried during our most
recent visit isn’t something I would repeat, but I do credit them for trying
out a variety of syrups and flavors.
There are
plenty of coffee shops in Downtown Raleigh, but if you can abide by the limited
seating, 42 and Lawrence offers all the strong coffee, inventive flavorings,
and charm that you need.
