One of Raleigh's newest coffee shops, WRK by The Optimist, opened in early December.
Driving the news: Located in The Exchange, a $1 billion mix-used development east of North Hills, WRK is The Optimist's third location in Raleigh.
Zoom in: The latest addition is yet another sign that The Optimist, which bravely opened its first location in Raleigh's Oakwood neighborhood in May 2020, is thriving.
The coffee shop also opened a cart at PNC Arena and its second location near Crabtree Valley Mall in 2023.
Location: 1000 Social St., on the first floor of The Exchange.
The spot is a little tricky to find. Check out this video for an explainer on how to get there.
