The Flying Biscuit Café Signs Lease for New North Raleigh Café

The Flying Biscuit Café has a lease for a new café at 6609 Falls of Neuse Rd, Raleigh, NC 27615. The café will be owned and operated by Tahir Rafiq, who currently operates three Flying Biscuit cafés in the Triangle, including Chapel Hill, Cary, and Wake Forest. North Raleigh will be his fourth location. The café is expected to open in the first quarter of 2027.

Rafiq chose the site for its steady traffic and the gap he saw in the neighborhood — a busy stretch of Falls of Neuse Road with plenty of people moving through it and few places to sit down to breakfast. The surrounding area is dense with schools and established neighborhoods, and the café is being planned around that daytime crowd: families before school, neighbors meeting mid-morning, and the lunch rush.

“I just felt like this part of town was missing a great breakfast option, and a lot of people pass through here every day,” said Tahir Rafiq, franchise partner, The Flying Biscuit Café. “We’re looking forward to serving this community — the schools, the neighborhoods, the families who live right here.”

Vijay Shah and Shelley Bhattia of TradeMark Properties represented Rafiq in the transaction. Cori Nix of CBRE also worked on the deal.

Hiring and opening details will be announced closer to opening.
