It is hot! Give yourself some space to chill by making iced tea. All of our premium loose leaf teas are out of this world. Simply cold steep overnight or hot brew and then allow to cool. Serve over ice and chill. Shop online www.liquidstateraleigh.com

Summer should be easy. It is especially easy when a bag of freshly roasted coffee automatically arrives at your doorstep every week. Our coffee subscription does just that. It is a simple solution to enjoying delicious coffee, espcially now, while we are all distancing. Sign up via our NEW WEBSTORE, www.liquidstateraleigh.com and cancel anytime. And while hiking and traveling this summer, take a pack of the Barrancon Specialty Instant Coffee with you. No bulky equipment needed. Just add water and enjoy. Easy.

It has been two months since we closed the shop and we are slowly stepping back in. Our webstore at www.liquidstateraleigh.com is open and will continue to expand. We currently have coffee and teas, and Liquid State swag available for order. Additionally we are excited to feature local art on our webstore. In our former brick and mortar, we donated wall space to local artists. The rotating art infused the space with new energy every few months and we are happy to continue to support local art in our virtual space. Check out the amazing artists that we are featuring on our webstore. We offer free delivery or shipment in Wake County.

20% of all sales through the end of June will be donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ACLU in their fight for equality and justice.

Thank you Technician and our friends at Ncstate University. We were blown away by the kind words and the sentiment behind the article, "Love Letter to Liquid State." (Link in bio). Also, we love the illustration by . We truly appreciate the support over the years. Raleigh is home, so we aren't going anywhere. Keep an eye out for our revamped webstore where we are pivoting to continue to embrace the community.

In 2015, a vacant storefront on Hillsborough Street was filled by Sy Sourisak and his new coffee, wine and beer bar, Liquid State. Liquid State, a staple on Hillsborough since

It is with a heavy heart that we are announcing that we are closing our doors. Our lease was up and we were unable to secure an agreeable renewal. Our last latte will be served this Sunday, April 26th.

Even though our physical shop will be closed, our webstore will be revamped with artwork, merchandise, drinks, and other unique offerings for delivery and shipment. And once the pandemic subsides, we will reevaluate our options. In the interim, we will pupate and metamorphosize in the new season.

Liquid State was intended as a love letter to the city that is our home. When we opened five years ago, we wanted to capture the essence of the Raleigh community: Easy going, friendly, and experimental. We also wanted to do our part to help revitalize Hillsborough Street by creating a gathering place where ‘all are welcomed.’ By all accounts, our goals were achieved. We will miss our regulars and all of those who shared a smile, but the friendships and opportunities that were fostered will continue to mature. With social distancing, it is unfortunate that we have to say goodbye in this way. But, we want to acknowledge and thank our past and current team for cultivating a welcoming space and animating the Liquid State of mind. We are grateful for the experience and the opportunity to serve our neighbors. Take care and thanks again.

That feeling when you’re trying your best to get through the last couple days before the holiday break and that red wine you love is calling your name so you just throw a coffee lid on it and call it a coffee. Ok, maybe that’s not how it works, but in a perfect world it’s all the time 🍷
