Rude!!! – I went there 2/13/11after I heard a coworker say they had good coffee. I have always lived in Raleigh and wondered I hadn't been to Helios. Well, I found out I wasn't missing anything!!! Being the first time there I wasn't sure if I was to order from the bar or the tables. I literally stood there for about 5 to 8 mins looking at the menu without one word being said to me. After realizing I need to go to cash register to order I walked up started placing my order and then halfway though I canceled it ! The girl work... read more

Good coffee, free WiFi, best spot for meeting tech-heads – Helios has good coffee, free WiFi, and is one of the ONLY cafes in Raleigh that stays open late. I love the fact that they stay open until midnight (from Wednesday onwards). They also have plenty of electrical outlets for people with laptops to use. This is one of the best places in Raleigh to find other geeks/tech savvy folks. If you're struggling with a certain tech subject (CSS, PHP, programming), you're almost guaranteed to find someone here who can help. I've me... read more

Not a fan – I just moved about 2 blocks from Helios and have never tried it until this weekend. It was packed and everyone seemed happy and friendly but not so much to me or my boyfriend. Staff was short and distracted and coffee was just ok. I might try it again just because I believe in second chances but not likely I would recommend to anyone else. Sorry.

Lacking in far too many things!!! – My apologies to the Helios fan base, but my recent trip to the coffee, wine, and snack shack at 413 Glenwood was extremely disappointing. I wanted Helios to be great, but 25 minutes after arriving our order had to been changed 3 times due to the lack of supplies and the misinformed staff, the triple mocha the Barrista made for me found its way into the hands of a regular who had ordered AFTER me, and after the manager got involved and my drink was remade I was inspired to give completely b... read more

Best espresso in Raleigh!! – After perusing the previous reviews, I've come to the conclusion that there must have been some changes over the last year, because I've found the service here to be consistently GREAT, and the espresso and coffee are even better. I'd definitely recommend it. The staff are also knowledgeable and seem to care about what they're doing.

I love it here. – The lighting is just subtle enough to allow the sunlight to illuminate the cafe, and at night, just bright enough to allow the art to add life and color. Coffee is great, and although I don't believe many coffee shops are any better than the almight, inmoral Starbucks, owned by the Satan and yet soo good, it is great if your in need of something different. They conveniently have beer and a few wines available, so it seems to apeal to all sorts of people. While there is a steady clientel of the "inner-beltli... read more

Well la-di-da! – This is the ideal coffee shop for baby boomers who are pretending to "do it differently" - lots of lip service about "growing the community" and "supporting local artists." In reality, a place for those with pretension, money, and laptops to meet likeminded folk who share their sense of superiority. Seems cool and mellow at first, but yoga classes can only do so much to improve the karma of intensely self-involved people.

Ok place – Service has improved. Clientele mainly the 'inside the beltline' elite Raleigh crowd. If you like to hear 50 somethings complaining about their 500,000 dollar houses at the beach, hearing 'are you doin' ok?' greetings, or watching wannabes, its the place to go.
