It's time for "second coffee" and my office for the morning, landing at Foster Street at around 8:30 am. Parking wasn't easy since I can't fit into a parking deck but a metered space opened up and I was able to jam into there.
Warmly welcomed and my cortado was ready before I'd even finished plugging in the laptop. Strong coffee that had a deep flavor and I'd already had breakfast so I was able to resist the pastries. An hour in, another cup of drip was all I needed while I did the Internet thing.
Foster Street is conducive to laptop but it did get a bit loud in there with the talking, the music and the sound of the espresso machine. But if you can handle all of that, it's ideal. I stayed about two hours this morning.

Everytime I come to Durham, I stop by here for an iced latte. I’m not sure what makes it so different but I obsess and think about it for days after. It’s that good. I recently tried the peach cobbler latte and it’s delicious. The peach is subtle and not overwhelming but it’s just soooo good. I wish there was a location closer to me in northeast raleigh

My favorite coffee shop in Durham hands down! They have the yummiest coffee flavors!!! I love walking in to one of their new flavors of the season! It’s always something new and refreshing-combos I’ve never tried at other shops before!!! It’s so fun and I’ve never tasted a limited time drink I didn’t absolutely love. The staff is always so friendly and there’s always many people studying/working in their comfortable seating area. Big windows with lovely natural light with comfortable and relaxed decor. I really enjoy coming here !!

The Foster Select and cold brew are our go to’s. Delicious, strong coffee. Pleasant urban coffee shop atmosphere. And quick service, even when busy. My favorite coffee place in Durham, and so convenient when shopping at the weekend farmer’s market!

super cozy cafe! i came in during the farmers market rush but was able to find a table to get some work done. they do seem to have one or two machines so it does take a minute to make a drink. i only got black coffee and it was a self serve and they have different options available. comes with free same-day refills too! the wifi was reliable too. a little slow, probably due to the amount of people connected. would come again!

This is my favorite cafe in all of Durham! While there may be places with slightly better coffee, the incredible staff and the welcoming atmosphere make it stand out. It's perfect for studying, reading, or just relaxing. Highly recommended!

Great coffee shop. They are dog friendly. The drinks are above average. I’m never disappointed, but not usually blown away. Staff is always very nice. Glad to have them so close by!

Great service. 4.7 iced latte. And I'd give the atmosphere a 3.76. Contrary to other comments, this environment was not great for study as half of the visitors were dogs and many visitors were more deeply getting in touch with their ADHD. Nothing the shop can do about that, other than it seems to like the philosophy of self discovery, even though some of the discoveries were in conflict. The dogs seemed to like it. My writing session was "hindered" by people who were obsessed with dogs and ignoring the fact that they were allergic to dogs. Also, Anthony Fauci, aka, Dr. Fauch, wasn't wearing a mask in his photo on the wall. Still, great overall product at this joint.
