This is my favorite local spot for an easy morning, productive afternoon, or romantic low-key evening. Their service is top-notch and they have a great menu for both drinks and food. I love the puzzles, crosswords, and games they have around the seating area. There are booths, tables, and a wide variety of seating options (I come here solo often, with a friend, or in groups of 4-5). The space is open and has a great energy, and the price for quality of everything you can order is great! Definitely a gem in downtown Durham. I love their salads, French fries, breakfast menu, fried chicken, Brussels, and their dirty martini.

A truly wonderful dining experience! The atmosphere and service were both incredible. The food and drinks were delicious, and the brunch portions were generous. I ordered the vegan pancakes and they were fantastic! I will absolutely come here for brunch again the next time I'm in Durham!

I visited The Durham Coffee Bar & Kitchen, & it was a great experience. The place was very clean & well organized. The staff greeted me right away with a friendly “welcome in,” & everyone was kind & helpful. I ordered the turkey club with fries and lemonade, the food was amazing, & everything tasted fresh. The drink could’ve been a little sweeter, but it was still good after adding Splenda. I really liked the calm atmosphere, free WiFi, & open seating. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quick meal or to relax with friends.

What a fun place! The latte I ordered was quite delicious, and made fresh. The staff is friendly, and it's very clean. The decor is a lot of fun, mixing contemporary with a bit of late 60s/early 70s flare.
If you're in the area and looking for a nice stop to sit and read or work on your laptop, this is a great place to do it.

I have been here twice to eat and work! I love their food, good quality, I had their cheeseburger (I customize it with no bun and had goat cheese instead)and it was very well cooked and flavors blended very well. Last time I got their breakfast which was very good as well! My only thing is that they need more outlets as there are only three tables that have outlets which is not ideal if you to work or have meetings.

I had a work lunch here and the food was great but the space is amazing! Apparently it is an old bank that has been repurposed.
It’s worth stopping in this building just to see it! The restaurant space is simply stunning.
