Simal SoydanJanuary 13, 2019Had the eggs arnold, pancake and musli. All were DELICIOUS. I especially recommend the musli. They also have great coffee options. It is the best brunch place in Durham.
Great breakfast, wonderful bakery. Sometimes the line for the café can be frustrating. One cashier acts as the barista and makes the drinks before taking the next person in line. Worth it, though.- Simal SoydanMay 6, 2019Tried the yogurt parfait and the pancakes this time. Yogurt parfait was really good. They also have fresh lemonade which is a great option to freshen your day.
jon accarrinoNovember 25, 2023You are supposed to order at the counter before grabbing a table. If they are busy, just order a quick beer and grab a menu so you don’t miss out on an open spot.
Rob SheppardFebruary 13, 2011Get there early, it sells out quick! They have an amazing array of cakes, breads and pastries, however, you MUST try their Bretzel roll. Worth traveling from miles around to have. Outstanding.
Shawn CookMay 7, 2016Very nice cafe/restaurant. I was there for coffee and a pastry while using WiFi to work. Great atmosphere. However, I did witness a customer serve her dog water from a restaurant glass. Smh 😢
Rachel EasterMay 22, 2016The lemon bar was fantastic. A nice break in the day and a really lovely little spot!
William VaughanJuly 29, 2016Such a hidden gem in Durham! World class eats and a fine selection of European beer/wine.
- Simal SoydanApril 15, 2019Eggs Arnold was really good and the croissant was okay. Always a great spot for a nice breakfast.
mjSeptember 26, 2015Everything here is great and you can tell because it is always busy. I got the Reuben. Try the cream puffs.
- Myriam MelkiFebruary 21, 2014Make sure to try their poached eggs for brunch!! Tasty! And the place is really charming; their pastries are delicious too.
Daniel GraysonApril 28, 2018An oasis next to a highway. A contradiction, and one with amazing pastries and good food.
The brunch is delicious, but you're missing out if you don't stop by the bakery--amazing! And delicious lattes, although mine was a bit cold.
Emily BrandsFebruary 19, 2013Huge fan - the shnitzel is tasty, the tarts yummy, the breads just right. My go-to place for lunch with visitors.
Peggy CondonJune 23, 2017The appetizer meat plate was delicious and the german beer selection was very good.
Brunch is always lovely here. Get there early if you want to take home bread or pastries from the bakery.
Best breakfast in the Triangle! If you want to sit outside when the weather is nice you might need to wait for a table.
Martha van der DriftAugust 2, 2012Awesome place to work during the weekdays. Amazing breads and I would drive for miles for the Meisel’s weisse beer!
Teddy MaggianiSeptember 1, 2015The coffee is to die for. As well as anything with eggs or bread. Seriously good.- Tables upstairs have the nicest atmosphere but you have to take your own drinks up the stairs.
Scott LewisDecember 4, 2013Incredible food! Chicken was very tasty, and the desserts are amazing! Ask for a table upstairs...
Jane KatzOctober 11, 2015farmers market salad with green goddess dressing is perfect for lunch- doughnuts for dessert!

Holly DSeptember 24, 2017lovely outdoor dining space, try the molasses creme brulee with an americano!
Food & WineApril 26, 2011Claudia Kemmet-Cooper named her pastry shop after the guglhupf, a traditional German cake with almonds, rum-soaked golden raisins and powdered sugar.
Robert RichardsonApril 12, 2015Great food. Very neat decor. Disappointed with the service though. Loved the kaseplatte.
Megan MMarch 29, 2014The pancakes are amazing! Such a perfect combo with the cooked apple slices on top.
Joe ChasseJuly 11, 2013The outdoor seating is fantastic. If the weather is decent, that's where you should sit.
The pancakes are so amazing and fluffy for one brief moment I thought I was eating on a cloud on my way to breakfast heaven.
Amazing brunch.. The frittata and the coffee were just amazing
- Brezel sticks and every thing else in the bakery is delicious. Food from the Cafe is great as well.
Leah PetrowskiMarch 16, 2013Triangle's best bakery. Get the iced Vietnamese and the fruit tart. Divine.
Becky SmithJuly 12, 2013Get a muesli roll to counteract an egg and cheese biscuit from Biscuitville next door.
Go on Saturdays. They make Berliner donuts on Saturday mornings, with the best raspberry filling...
Take a date to dinner here. The food is local and fabulous. The atmosphere and lighting is intimate so it's a great date place. There is outdoor seating!
Get a Berliner Weisse - amazing sour German beer with fruit syrup! Delicious!
If it's crowded, don't claim a table before ordering your food. This really screws up the seating situation. Just try to relax, and by the time your food is ready, somebody else will be finishing up.
