We bought a couple deserts for some friends we were having over and each one blew us away! Really high quality, absolutely delicious! Special shoutout to the cheesecake, cinnamon bun and cookie bites and Dap the dog! Highly recommend if you are hosting or just looking for a delicious sweet treat!

Popped in at the right time yesterday. Got a scone, cookies and got to try a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was the perfect texture! Prices were perfect for size and quality.

When you first walk in, you are greeted by the most friendly dog ever. His name is Dap. The owner is equally as friendly, and his desserts were very tasty! It was freshly made.

Amazing product—but a place named Afters that’s a “dessert bar” should definitely be open later than 5pm 😬

My mom and I were in Durham for my 21st birthday and decided to grab some scones before our candle-making class. We’re from a small town, so scones were new to us—but wow, we were blown away. We tried the cheddar and herb, apple cinnamon, and brown sugar ham scones, plus the special of the day, and every single one was incredible. We even went back for more! The cookies were just as amazing—soft, rich, and unforgettable. I go to NC Central, so I’ll definitely be a regular once the semester starts. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Had a gluten free Cacio and Pepe scone, heated up. It was amazing. Highly recommend the gf desserts too.

The guy who makes these desserts is a genius when it comes to flavor and texture combinations. I lack the culinary vocabulary to properly articulate how good everything is but I've loved everything I've tried here.

The prices are very good for downtown Durham, but the cookies were just okay, nothing special. Very sweet.

Everything here is amazing. I recently got a scone and a Boston cream pie. The flavors were incredible. I think the Boston cream pie was a special for Pi day but I really hope they have it again.

Afters has amazing desserts! If you love chocolate, this is your place! They put a fun spin on things like cookie cake by the slice, “thunks”, and more too.
