I used to love all the JVG locations when I lived in Durham and was able to go more frequently, but this location soured me on them a bit today. The coffee was great, but the register service was awful. The person at the register just stared at me when I greeted them, and despite me ordering coffee "for here," uncaringly put my pastry in a paper bag. They never said the machine was ready for payment or thank you or anything, just handed me my bag and said the drink would be at the end of the counter. The barista making the espresso drinks was great and took a lot of care in making my cortado. The coffee is always great and the milk was steamed perfectly with a skillful pour. As a former member of the specialty coffee industry, I just would have hoped for a more welcoming experience from the start. The true heart of the industry is service.

This is a really good Joe Van Gogh location -- staff is always really friendly, the coffee shop is clean and cozy and spacious, and most importantly the coffee tastes great! Really enjoy coming here :^)

Coffee is pretty good. Food is also tasty and reasonably priced - love the breakfast burrito and handmade salsa. Seating is somewhat limited, though it seems like a few more tables were brought in after COVID. It's still hard to find a spot during peak hours. What's concerning to me is that the staff always seem miserable. They're never friendly and hardly smile. They don't offer any interaction, aside from taking your order/payment and calling out your name when placing your order on the counter. They don't wait long enough for you to tell them "Thank you." And the register has the audacity to ask for a tip. Like I said, the staff's apathy is worrisome. Are they okay? Is this secretly a terrible place to work?

Prior to today have only had good experiences at this location but sadly today that changed. Clearly new register worker still learning - but did not seem like other staff was providing any support to help move things along. Once drinks were ordered one barista recognized other guests so our cups sat while they chatted. Our drinks were actually not made until a different barista appeared. Great taste as usual but took about 4x longer.

This is my favorite coffee shop in the area, especially since they make their own pastries and have a rotating seasonal menu. They also have a good selection of vegetarian options for breakfast. I highly recommend their London fog scone and an iced latte!

The reason I gave the service three stars is because the lady who made my coffee did not make the art like she was taught and she refused to make us another one.
