This review is for barista training that my daugher and I took in Durham last night from Casey (Mid Bloom owner). We had a wonderful experience! Casey covered all aspects of dialing in espresso, milk frothing, and machine care. We are mainly home coffee enthusiasts, but I really loved learning on a real commerial setup (La Marzocco, etc...). Thank you Casey for a wonderful experience!

Easily my favorite coffee shop in Durham. The drinks are always fantastic, the folks who work there are great, and the environment is wonderful for anything from hanging out to do some work, to sitting read a book, to having a hang with some friends.
It also being in Common Market means you can grab a sandwich from the deli if you’d like to as well. Perfect.
If you don’t feel like drinking in, service is speedy for take out and there’s always ample parking in the car park or nearby streets.

My husband and I took the barista class with Casey, and learned so much! Casey is very knowledgeable about all things coffee, and it is clear that her passion and expertise have translated into Mid-Bloom. Highly recommend the class offered at Mid-Bloom as well as stopping in for a truly delicious coffee beverage.

I love mid bloom coffee so much! they are some of the friendliest baristas in town and their service is always quick even when they're super busy. sometimes I don't even order and just drop in to say hello. their salted caramel latte is to die for and they have the best chai latte in town, hands down - it's so strong and flavorful. if you love coffee and friendly people mid bloom is your spot. 💜

I tend to hop around the triangle to different coffee shops to work and such but I’ve had good coffee and friendly chats with the staff every time I come in. The pistachio mocha is particularly good!

Top-notch local coffee shop (and woman-owned — we love to see it)! My partner and I took the Barista 101 class and learned a ton. Highly recommend.

I had a fantastic experience at this cozy café! The service was outstanding—staff were attentive and friendly, making the visit all the more enjoyable. It’s a great spot to grab coffee and breakfast while catching up on work or chatting with friends.
The atmosphere is perfect: good music playing at just the right volume so you can enjoy your conversations without feeling overwhelmed.
The highlight for me was the breakfast sandwich (or “Sammy”)—so delicious that I ended up ordering another one to take home for my son!
Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food, a relaxed vibe, and a workspace-friendly environment. I’ll definitely be back!

The coffee shop is in a fun little local market with a few locally owned shops! Great fun Durham vibes.
Coffee is Joe Van Go, but they do it well. The barista is good!
Very clean, very friendly!
Check it out!

The barista was so kind and the cereal milk latte was so unique and delicious! Also tried the vegan coffee cake which was delicious as well!

Casey was behind the bar and very helpful in choosing coffee beans for me to take home, offering a sample of one of the options on drip. The coffee is top tier and the pumpkin spice latte is the best around!

I've worked in and visited many coffee shops throughout the years. It is rare to find a business that balances quality service and quality coffee, but Mid Bloom Coffee accomplishes exactly that. The folks at this shop care seem to care deeply about both the customer and the craft. Located inside Common Market, this shop has access to good vibes and great food, providing the opportunity to create different atmospheres based on your needs. If you need a place to work alone or gather with friends, this coffee shop can be just that!

Wonderful drinks and helpful staff! I am not a big coffee drinker but all hail the caffeine. Kera will suggest drinks and homemade syrups that are delicious.
I love that there is also a discount for using my camelbak instead of getting a plastic cup!
11/10 will be back!

This coffee shop is a standout! I really value shops that care a lot about the their product and this one really does. I love that their syrups are homemade and I exclusively use their beans in my espresso machine at home. Casey, the owner, is both kind and genuine, clearly dedicated to her craft and making each customer feel heard. Common Market is a cool atmosphere and I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve ordered! It’s a must-visit for anyone who values great coffee and a personal touch. Highly recommend!
