Had a great brunch at The Refectory Cafe! The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is super friendly. I especially love those flowers!! Such a thoughtful touch that really brightens my mood. We ordered the Carolina Cobb, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and a Strawberry Smoothie. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend -
beautiful aesthetic, friendly service and great tasting food.
i had the short rib huevos rancheros and my wife had the lemon ricotta pancakes. with bacon and grits. everything was fresh, hot and tasty. will def. be coming back. -
Delicious Farm to table breakfast! Everything was fresh and amazing quality. We walked in without a reservation (just 2 of us) and they gave us a time we needed to be out by lol was just kind of weird? Other than that everything was wonderful! Maybe just would recommend making a reservation 😉 -
Took our wheelchair bound mother-in-law here for her birthday dinner. She enjoyed everything as did we. This is a simple, honest, quality cafe you can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner at. Give them a try… they are part of what make Durham great! -
