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. Baked goods, like muffins and croissants from Ninth Street Bakery, add an even sweeter reason to stop and stay a while. Daughters’ is a welcome addition to Greenwood Commons, which is also home to longtime tenants True Flavors Diner and The Glass Jug Beer Lab.

This coffee shop is so cute! The people working here are very friendly and it is super chill. It's a small place, but they had a good selection of books and related gifts. They had a really nice display for Pride month and themed drinks. They offer some yummy baked goods, too. It is a snack and drink place rather than a lunch spot.

It’s cozy, Less than 12 seats inside (positive) The matcha is great, the tea is lovely, customer service was wonderful. If you want to talk they will, but they also leave to your own devices if you want [perfect]. The book selection is also pretty good. Good reads, both popular and new. Can’t wait to come back on my lunch break. Perfect place for a small book club.

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. ☕️ Great coffee & tea, featuring Carrboro Coffee Roasters. 🗺️ Located in Durham, near the intersection of 55 & 54. Plenty of parking! 👍 This is a lovely addition to the Triangle area’s book & coffee scene.

So excited to have this bookstore/coffee combo near pur neighborhood. The staff was super friendly and I loved the selection of new and used books, along with a few other giftable items! We especially loved playing in the kids corner. It seemed extremely popular and had playthings for toddlers and bigger kids too! We will be back!

Nice to find a bookstore that actually welcomes readers and sippers. They have an array of new and used books, gifts for readers, as well as a decent menu for coffee, tea and matcha. The iced Blue Lily Matcha (blueberry) was tasty. Service was fast and friendly. If they don’t have a book you’re looking for they offer to order it for you. Decent amount of tables/seating for the space and a few outdoor tables too. Plus a space for kiddos to sit and read as well.
