Coffee & Roasteries
Award-winning roasters and beloved neighborhood hangouts – coffee here is about more than the cup; it's about the connections made over it.
Durham's coffee scene is built on excellence and community in equal measure. From award-winning roasters to neighborhood shops where everyone knows your name, coffee here is as much about the people at the next table as the beans in your cup.
Roasters Setting the Standard
Durham's coffee credentials speak for themselves. Little Waves earned Roast Magazine’s 2022 Micro Roaster of the Year, proving that exceptional coffee comes from obsessive attention to detail and direct relationships with farmers. Counter Culture Coffee started here and grew into a national brand that still calls Durham home, welcoming visitors for free weekly tastings where you'll learn what makes great coffee great.
