The Left Hook Coffee

The Left Hook Coffee is a small-batch roasting café in Raleigh, NC, founded and operated by Kristin Kulik, who launched the brand through pop-ups before opening a brick-and-mortar location inside Gussie’s at 927 W. Morgan St. in early 2024. Known for its carefully crafted espresso drinks, breakfast offerings, and community-first ethos, the café has built a loyal following among locals near NC State and beyond. With an independent storefront in the works at 912 E. Hargett St. — supported in part by a successful Kickstarter campaign — The Left Hook Coffee continues to grow as a gathering place rooted in the Raleigh community.
