An Early Christmas Present... WRK by The Optimist to Open at The Exchange Raleigh

I was excited to receive an email this week that included some exciting news… Dewitt Carolinas, Inc. announced that WRK by The Optimist would be their first food and beverage tenant at The Exchange Raleigh, its 40-acre mixed-use development in Midtown. The full-service coffee shop/cafe will be located within the retail suite of the lobby at 1000 Social, the flagship 12-story office tower at The Exchange, and adjacent to the main pedestrian entrance from the parking deck.

Guests can expect the same great coffee, espresso, tea, and other beverage offerings of The Optimist’s existing Historic Oakwood/Mordecai location—in addition to a similar food menu, with a primary focus on breakfast and light lunch items. Continuing to source from local vendors like Black & White Coffee Roasters, Homeland Creamery, Blue Ox Bakery, Michael’s English Muffins, and Boulted Bread will be an important emphasis of WRK by The Optimist as well.
