Jordan GrosecloseOctober 8, 2014The hand-poured coffees are amazing. But you truly can't go wrong with anything you order. Their teas, lattes and sipping chocolates are great, too! I love taking my girlfriend!
- This place sets the bar for coffee houses world-wide, but what really stands out are the raw cacao drinks. Not to be missed in Durham!
The News & ObserverFebruary 5, 2014Try the Al Mokha: a semisweet spin on the standard, thanks to its real melted dark chocolate and Sri Lankan cinnamon topping, the latter a nod to the port as a trade stop in the spice trade route. Read more
AbFebruary 7, 2022The espresso is tasty; the drinks are surprisingly original; the ambiance is comfy steampunk chic. The team is super nice and skilled. Yum yum yum, getcha sum
AMAZING creative and high-quality coffee drinks. Great selection of pastries, vegan/vegetarian quick food options, and fabulous service.
- Kaie S.March 1, 2017Wonderful, chill, trendy atmosphere. Low-key and cozy. Drinks are the best I've had in Durham. The sipping dark chocolate is especially good!
Great local shop to enjoy warm beverages. Might be difficult to find a seat, but when possible, it's great to relax and get work done.
KaitlinAugust 7, 2014Oh my worddddd. This place is so good! And the drinks are wildly inventive. If you're looking for a daring latte, this is the place to be.
C HJuly 25, 2017Different coffee options than your normal coffee house, which was nice. Cool atmosphere. Waited about ten minutes in line though, so it's not a quick grab-and-go stop.
Jeff BowenMarch 1, 2018Cool space. Above average, but not amazing coffee. Soft seating, outlets, and Wi-Fi. Been very crowded every time I’ve been here. Be prepared to share a table with a stranger.
Great vibe and interesting globally inspired drink menu. It’s my favorite cocoa cinnamon location
AJ T.April 24, 2013This place is a little too "hip" for me... Many coffee/espresso type choices, and also wines! But not an impressive selection of sweets/desserts (which was what I was looking for).
They have parking, and the best latte I've had on the entire East Coast. Good place to bring the dog for outdoor seating too.
- Grace SApril 15, 2013Confession: I HATE coffee, but this coffee is delicious. Try the Dr. Durham specialty drink!
Paul NovareseNovember 24, 2015I love this place. Lots of character, great baristas, and interesting people.
Ronda CollinsFebruary 10, 2019Different selection from most coffee spots. Nice vibe and open air seating.
William VaughanFebruary 8, 2016Awesome coffee and cool atmosphere! My favorite coffee shop in Durham.
Meredith C.August 30, 2013I found my favorite barista from (another coffee shop). She was the only one who was actually friendly.
Carrie NationSeptember 7, 2013Hot chocolate or drinking chocolate on a cool night, sitting outside... It's pretty much heaven.
The "milkadamia" milk is much tastier than any almond milk you'll have elsewhere!
Marissa B.April 12, 2013Must try the latte inspired by Nina Simone sweetened with molasses. It's wonderful, tasty, & creative!
Gail RankinJuly 25, 2015My husband says this was the best caramel latte he's ever had - not too sweet!
Caoba hot chocolate is thick and creamy. Perfect hot chocolate.
The Moroccan Mint Tea is incredibly refreshing on a nice, hot day.
Fantastic Cappuccino! Drinking chocolate is like liquid heaven.
DanFebruary 23, 2018It's a nice local coffee shop but it's always crowded with people on laptops and it over priced for what you get.
Alaric HahnApril 2, 2013Careful of the dude who cuts in line wearing pajama pants. He's crafty...and sweaty.
- DanMarch 30, 2018I like the idea of this place than I actually like it in actuality. Overpriced, slow and never really had a stellar drink there. Too many bum students on laptops.
