Wake Forest · Est. Local
Built by locals,
brewed with
Wake Forest pride.
Your neighborhood café and bar on Purnell Road — where the coffee is fresh, the drinks are cold, and nobody's in a rush to leave.
Our Story
Not a chain. Not a franchise.
Just Wake Forest's favorite corner.
Donnie B's Shack A Lackee started with a simple idea: build a place where your coffee tastes better than it does at the gas station, and your hangout feels like it actually belongs to you.
That's it. That's the pitch. No gimmicks, no corporate playbook — just good drinks, honest food, and a crew that remembers your name. We opened our doors on Purnell Road because this town deserves a spot that feels like home, and we're proud to be that spot.
The Space
A place that feels like yours.
Grab a table inside or find a spot on the patio — whichever suits your mood.
Bring your laptop or your book — the internet's fast and the coffee keeps you going.
Whether it's two or twelve, we'll find you a spot to settle in.
Same chair, different vibe. The menu shifts, the welcome stays the same.
