1922

chapel hill has a coffee scene that punches well above its size, shaped in part by the university crowd and in part by the kind of regulars who've spent years deciding exactly where they want to be on a weekday morning. 1922 on east franklin street has become one of those places people keep returning to, not because it's the only option but because it's clearly a considered one. you'll find it at 140 e franklin st, close to the center of a street that functions as the town's main artery, which means foot traffic, familiar faces, and a steady rhythm that suits both quick stops and longer sits. the word from people who drink here regularly is consistent and warm. if you're starting your morning on franklin, this is a reasonable place to anchor it.
