Family-friendly fare in a relaxing atmosphere is what it’s all about.

This place is just solid. The food is so good and always hits. Their cranberry mimosas are my favorite. Super refreshing and not too sweet.
The staff always do a great job. Everybody is friendly, on point, and the energy is good. The owner is really involved too in a way that feels positive. You can tell they actually care about the place and the people in it.
I cannot wait for it to cool down so I can enjoy the upstairs patio again. It is such a nice little spot to chill.

This little place has a lot to offer from a rooftop outside area, to great food, to sweet treats, to smoothies, to coffee and alcohol. I had the Firefly sandwich add egg ( fried green tomato and pimento cheese) with breakfast fries. The sandwich may now be in my top 3 of all time! It was that good! The breakfast potatoes were also delicious and perfectly crisp. I also topped it off with a latte which was just the right amount of sweet to coffee flavor. 5 stars!

I used to come here when it was off Erwin, such a Durham staple!! Very reasonable prices, fresh food, quick service and friendly folks. And the rooftop patio is lovely!!

This is a cute spot with fresh ingredients. Love the simple feel…had the Carols Topper Salad and my hubby had Reuben Sandwich special. The salad dressing was homemade and very good. Hubby said the sandwich was decent, wanted more sauce on it. Be patient with them as it is a small business, make it to order and they do have times of being busy. Great outdoor seating, tasty desserts and definitely recommend their smoothies too.

Driest biscuit I’ve ever eaten. Coffee was cold, was never offered coffee refill, bacon was nasty maple flavor. Would be better off going to Bojangles.

Great brunch spot to catch up with friends. Hopefully you get today's special because it's good it changes. This movies is good. The only thing I really didn't like was the orange juice. It didn't really taste fresh

Terrific brunch experience! Atmosphere was excellent, everyone behind the counter was so nice, and the food was amazing. Stopped in on a whim and glad we did!

Stopped by here only 30 minutes before they closed today and asked for something they didn't actually have on the menu due to a mix up on my part. They very kindly offered to make it for me anyway, since everything they offer is made to order, even insisting I not feel limited by the menu's choices. All the people who work there were very nice and friendly. The place was small and relaxed, which I liked, and the food was multiple times better than fast food even though I swear it was done just as quickly. When I return to this area next month, I'll certainly be back!

Went here for brunch, so it was quite busy. Service was great, and the sweet potato biscuit sandwich was so delicious. The biscuit was the perfect consistency and flavor, and the drip coffee was smooth and creamy. The only downside is there's not a lot of room to eat inside, but there is seating outdoors. Will definitely be returning here!

Nosh is an excellent breakfast spot! I had one of the best breakfast burritos ever here. I love the rooftop patio and everybody who works there is really nice.

I got the granola bowl, which is the only gluten-free option on their menu, and it was incredible. The fruit was so fresh and delicious. My partner had the special which was kind of one of everything. Everything pancakes, bacon, eggs, sausage, grits. It was very good and the staff was incredibly friendly.

I tried the 'Tiny Bird's Sweet Potato Biscuit' sandwich. It has 'flat egg, mushrooms, spinach, onion, peppers and roasted red pepper spread'.
The biscuit itself was fairly dry and very dense. It is a knife and fork sandwich, and really seems more like an omelete placed on a biscuit.
It needed acidity, and went from below average to average with the addition of the Good Gracious Green hot sauce that was available.
Interior vibes are very odd, not much seating and would feel crowded quickly with the ordering line directly between the few tables that are available. I suspect the main draw here is the rooftop.

I’ve already been twice to the re-opened Nosh on Broad St, and I can’t stop singing its praises — location, design, service, food (quality, flavor, value) — it wins on all accounts! The space is especially nice on a pretty day since most seating is outdoors, including on the rooftop patio (which is reminiscent of Grub’s classic patio but is more compact and homey), and the views of Duke’s East Campus are wonderful! An East Campus loop stroll/jog followed by food at Nosh is always a temptation for me now :) Food wise I’ve only tried breakfast options and loved the Rocket breakfast platter and design-your-own grits bowl. The baked goods (esp the choco chip cookies!) are also fantastic. My boyfriend loves their biscuits and biscuit egg sandwiches. Excited to have a new favorite in a convenient location and that won’t break the bank for a treat!
