I got coffee here with a colleague around 9am and I found this to be a really great place to get together. The coffee was delicious and there was ample room to sit. I highly recommend stopping by if you are looking for coffee in the area.
Super trendy yet warm coffee house/ brew/ wine bar. Came in for a quick coffee and stayed a few hours with some unique drafts and great conversations. Definitely a Durham Gem.
I visited here after dinner to read a book, and the atmosphere is really great for chilling out! They have both regular tables and bar seating. Coffee, wine and beer available. The menu has a wide variety of options. Tried the decaf Americano and it was really good.
Coffee is going to be standard specialty coffee. It's good, but nothing to write home and tell your mom about. They offer different sizes of cappuccinos, the smallest being 12oz. Very friendly staff! Environment is very clean. A great place to meet up for coffee, wine, or whisky. Clean bathrooms, but you'll need a key. Fast wifi. Great place to work from home, though it can get a little loud. Surprisingly good pasties! They warm them up in an oven, not a microwave, so the croissant stays crispy!!
I have been trying out a few coffee shops in Durham downtown since I work remotely. I will say this has been by far the best coffee shop to work, read a book, or just hang out. I love their vibe, their friendly service, the staff is always ready to serve and has a smile on their face! Their coffee is very good, had their latte, pumpkin spice latte - which I LOVED and I’m not big on pumpkin spice lattes they all seem way too sweet and can’t taste the coffee. Their croissants are so fluffy and buttery too! Truly my go to place!

Your cozy downtown hub for exceptional coffee, craft drinks, and warm vibes.
