Devolve Moto

This place is cool. The barista was sweet and fun to talk to. The coffee was good, the atmosphere was bomb-​ass (very cool). I would probably go all the time if I lived in Raleigh. I like it a lot.

Really cool place that fills a niche Glenwood South needs: commerce that doesn’t include a strict menu of alcohol and food.
Devolve has a bar, which is great to get a coffee and sit down to enjoy the cool atmosphere but it’s not as much the main attraction here; the cool biker merchandise a la California west coast culture is.
The staff is really nice and helpful. The merchandise seems to have the motorcyclist in mind — and you can find boots, leather jackets, gloves and even goggles here — but they have some great hipster/​biker jewelry, some awesome gifts for be masculine person in your life, and cool flannel shirts and t-​shirts.
If you make this a weekend destination for a fun look-​around, be sure to grab a cup of coffee and split a LucetteGrace pastry (which they carry from the wonderful nearby downtown Raleigh fine pastry shop) with a friend, enjoy the atmosphere and maybe go to a nearby restaurant for lunch afterwards. The perfect Saturday!
Parking: street parking. Weekends are meter-​free.

Stopped by out of curiosity and because I’m interested in café racers, and walked away with some awesome gifts for a friend. I love the hip, adventurous and outdoorsy vibe, and the displays of bikes in the retail area. I’ve never seen a store with the combination of café and gear, and this place pulls it off perfectly with a cool but down-​to-​earth vibe. The employees are all very friendly, and the prices are relatively steep but not overpriced for what you get and the unique offerings. Coffee here is great too.

Just what Glenwood South needed a super hip motorcycle shop with apparel paired with a coffee bar, beer, wine, and some local baked goods from Lucette Grace!
Ever sine Helio’s closed I’ve been waiting for a new coffee shop to come along to chill out at, well I think I found it. The folks at Devolve Moto are super friendly and they have a great selection of coffee and espresso drinks, plus tea, and they carry Slingshot & Torch. You can also grab some Taco Revolution breakfast tacos here or a bag of Zapp’s chips!
On top of all the motorcycle gear and apparel they have a ton of great gifts. You can find candles, knives, drink ware, sleeping bags, boots and so much more! Free wifi some cute booths or plenty of seats at the bar to hang out. I really love the atmosphere of part retail part café. They always have the garage doors up while the weather is nice and it’s the perfect spot to just chill.
Definitely add this to your list for local shopping and a cup of joe!

This place is great! I always get an iced coffee with honey lavender. Where else can you get a coffee, beer, an awesome taco, motorcycle gear and camping equipment?! The guys that work in there are super nice. Shout out to Johnny he’s a great barista! Oh yeah try their pastries too… heaven.

Amazing place especially if you are into café racer culture. They have a great selection of clothes and motorcycle apparel. Brands ranging from Biltwell to Iron and Resin, high quality stuff. They also have a coffee/​bar. Good spot just to kick back on a Friday night.

Gear Heaven
Tired of the same old boring overpriced local gear and having to rely on online retailers to fulfill your needs? Then you need to stop by this place. I stumbled upon this shop while taking a ride around town and was immediately impressed with the selection, the atmosphere, and the staff.
I had been searching for a Kriega backpack (something no local shops carry) and there was the entire line among other items I have never seen available in a NC shop. But what was most impressive was the price. They actually had the same prices at those on my favorite sites without any need for haggling (yes I am very Thrifty). This is almost unheard of in a brick and mortar store. This combined with their enthusiasm for anything on two wheels has made me a customer for life.
Great job guys!!!

Stop the presses, Unilocalers! Just when you thought the old coffee/​bar model had been done to death, Devolve Moto changed the game with their vintage West Coast themed Motorcycle/​Outfitter/​Espresso/​Craft Beer shop. And it’s as awesome as it sounds.
The atmosphere is familiar enough, but Devolve’s flavor is one of a kind and an edgy addition to a neighborhood that could use it. I have love for Glenwood, I do. But if they put another wine bar, salon, or boutique up in this piece, I fear we’ll all turn some shade of Vera Bradley paisley a la Violet Beauregard.
Thankfully, Devolve is shaking things up with a little something for everyone — impeccable espresso drinks (one of the first in town to use locally roasted Torch espresso beans), homegrown grub from Lucette Grace and Taco Revolution, a fine selection of craft brews, and one beautifully merchandised motor lifestyle boutique. The gift item curation is phenomenal (family — you know where Christmas is coming from this year…).
The staff is welcoming and down to earth, and the ambiance is warm and cozy and perfectly rough around the edges. The storefront boasts two garage doors that open up to keep the space light and airy on nice days.
Loving everything about this new addition to the neighborhood. Go check em out!
