A brewery combined with a cafe. Very laid-back/chill vibes with plenty of seating and parking available. Also has really friendly bartenders/baristas. I got the Kenya French roast. This is a very dark roast with that coffee punch you’ve come to know and love. Definitely has a dark chocolate-type bold flavor with nutty aftertaste. However, it did not taste syrupy or citrusy as the flavor profile suggests. Surprisingly, it did not have the dry aftertaste that some coffees do.

Tried to visit on 2 evenings over a year apart. They were open (the brewery and cafe are the same space) but no longer serving hot drinks, so effectively closed if you’re looking for a coffee. It had been so long since the first visit that I forgot the hours on Google were wrong. They display the brewery hours on Google and their website. It’s not “along the way” to anything really so it was annoying to find it closed. They end hot drinks at 4pm. I’ve submitted an edit to Google for the business hours. I can’t tell you if the coffee is any good and at this point, I won’t bother to find out.

The wife and I love this coffee ☕ and the morning barrista Jarrod knows coffee ☕ with the best of them,he plays great music and makes everyone feel special ...so hats off to my New favorite coffee ☕ shop. Everyone should stop in have great coffee and conversation with Jarrod and this new place

As a life coach, I always tell my clients that your first sip of coffee is what will determine the rest of the day. Okay, not really. But a good coffee is like a hug in a mug! I’m sad to say that my coffee this morning was like an awkward side hug. It wasn’t the worst, but just not fully there, ya know? 🥴

Love the people who run this place, the ambience, vibe and the coffee. Barista is great too. I stop by here almost once a week. It also has Vicious Fishes brewery inside which I think is a cool, modern concept. Amazing Cafe in the area

First and foremost, great coffee! The drip and the espresso drinks were top notch. Great bar service and quick pulls on the espresso shots. Very friendly baristas and incredibly helpful! The location inside is the typical brewery space but this place really shines with its outdoor space. The green space is downright immaculate! There is plenty of seating with optional shade. The music lent the space a great vibe and it was a great place to drink and chat with friends. There is plenty of gravel parking and food trucks come regularly. I highly recommend coming here for a coffee before you switch to beer!

Coffee warms my soul and makes me a nicer person to everyone around me, so as you can see - coffee is a stable in my everyday life! Piranha Joe's is delicious. Jarrod, the morning barista is passionate about what he does, makes an effort to remember people and favorite orders, and is always willing to answer any questions about new drinks. This is one of my favorite places in Apex/New Hill and I love that it is so close to home.

Outstanding coffees, teas, and drinks. Great atmosphere for hanging out and meeting people. Dog friendly! Food truck out front is incredible (NC Burger)

I am very impressed with Piranha Joe's coffee! Great location, outdoor seating, and the coffee is amazing. They have a friendly, well seasoned staff with a plethora of coffee and tea knowledge....and that dude in the kilt!

I really like this place but they need to get their hours right so people don't waste their time driving out here for coffee. The posted hours on Google are for the brewery, not the coffee shop. They stop serving coffee at 4 pm on weekdays and apparently at noon on weekends.

This is the perfect example of why you should take a break from Starbucks and try a local coffee joint. Rather than loading all their coffees with sugar, they truly serve their coffee drinks according the the actual definitions (Yes, I am making fun of the Starbucks "Macchiato"). The espresso flavor is more moderately roasted, but has a much stronger "ristretto" vibe with a bit more of an acidic bite as you take the first sip. This is a great place to dine in for a morning cup of coffee, they have plenty of space and aren't overly crowded on weekday mornings. The atmosphere is definitely more pub than coffee shop, but it lends a uniqueness. The barista was very knowledgeable and made a good espresso. Highly recommended if you are looking for (or would like to try) a shorter-pull ristretto-like espresso.

The coffee was very good. Service fast and friendly. I would like to go back when the brewery is open.

Good vibe! I’ve stopped by a couple times while working in the area. Today I had a fabulous mocha that perfectly hit the spot. I’ve come in the evening for music and a ginger beer. The outdoor area is perfect for a relaxing evening. Vicious Fishes/Piranha also has rotating food trucks which is a great way to try different things. It just has a good chill vibe.

My latte was surprisingly very good. I met the owner when it was still in construction. He was very kind. I lived in Apex for a year but never been there before. I recently met my bride there. I thought the place was very nice. I wish the barista was more friendly and smile!

Stopped by here with my wife on the way to work. The place is nice inside with lots of room and seating. The quality of furniture and decoration is top notch. Seems like it could be nice and busy as times later in the day. The pirate-ish and sea vibe isn't my favorite, but my Chai Tea Latte was great!

Had a craving for a morning latte recently and decided to check out Piranha Joe - so glad I did! The barista, Alyson, was super friendly, attentive, and had TONS of great custom latte suggestions (pistachio syrup?! Amazing!). Highly recommend and will definitely be dropping in again, soon!

Super good Coffee x Beer. Nice outdoor seating patio & green space for kids & pets.

Stopped in recently to get a coffee before setting off to visit a friend. I was really happy to see alternative milks on the menu and got a black coffee with a splash of macadamia milk. The coffee was great and the service was friendly. I will definitely be back!

Hands down best coffee place around. Real attention to detail. Great service. Great coffee. Nice ambiance.

Great coffee, rich, strong and "roastey" Social atmosphere and plenty of seating options. Connected to their brewery bar and favors a brewery type scene over a quiet coffee retreat.
