What’s more inviting than an independent bookstore/coffee shop combo? Get comfy with a warm cup of freshly brewed coffee and explore the curated bookshelves. Tables in the café section are perfect for plugging in to do some work or meeting up with a friend. They even have a family-friendly children’s nook. Along with a robust menu of coffee and tea, Daughters offers specials like a cinnamon bun latte and literary-themed seasonal drinks.

I loved the atmosphere and the service I got! Tons of books for all ages and genres, with many diverse authors represented. The tea was good but the ice melted and made it super watery, I suggest asking for no ice. The cups are small but the prices arent bad so it’s okay, you get the amount you pay for.
Advice for the management: please change the hours on Google/Maps to reflect that you’ll be closed for holiday hours. I wanted to come see yall again today and it said open on Google and on your website but was closed when I got there. I completely understand bc it’s Labor Day, but a warning would be nice 🙂 -
Love love love this coffee shop!! By far my favorite in Durham. There is a cute corner for kids with toys and books where they can enjoy time with other kids or parents. They also sell lots of kid and adult books. The cappuccino was superb! -
Since it's opening, Daughters has quickly become a regular stop for us. We love having a local coffee shop near us the fact that it's also a bookstore is perfection!
We love exploring their seasonal favorites, which are always fun puns for literary lovers. They have a great selection of new and popular releases, fun book-ish and cozy gifts/activities to purchase, plus a pre-loved book section that's fun to explore. If a book you want isn't in store, they can order it for you and you'll 10% off the sticker price. Our three year-old loves the little kids play area in the back and "making coffee" for us while we wait for the real thing.
The staff are always kind and helpful to us. We especially appreciate Frances, their bookseller, who always has great recs if you're not sure what to read next!
One tip: I wouldn't suggest arriving super hungry since the focus is coffee and books. They do sell some amazing baked goods, including some items from Chef Chick's and Ninth Street Bakery but don't have a full menu. -
Daughters Coffee and Books is adorable!
📚 There’s a great selection of pre-loved & new books, including children’s books, and a cozy kid’s corner.
