Both kids have chosen this establishment (given full range of choices) for their birthday dinners for the last two years.

“The best ice cream I’ve ever had hands down!! Fresh ingredients, unique flavors with new additions regularly so you’re never bored, great service, the ice cream texture is perfect, baked goods are amazing. You can’t go wrong here!! Our favorites are anything with mint, key lime pie, birthday cake, coffee, and cookies and cream but honestly everything is fantastic. Don’t forget the hot fudge and sprinkles!! Absolutely a family favorite“

“We were there for a dog adoption event and I decided to try one of their ciders. I got the Tart Cherry Cider and it was really good. The location is great, but the parking is somewhat challenging to find. I love that they had a lot of ciders, since I have Celiac and am gluten free. But I would love it if some of their beer offerings were also gluten free/gluten reduced.

The space itself is awesome. They have a large game room with a pool table and arcade games, that one of my teenagers really gravitated towards.

And the dog adoption event with Freedom Ride Rescue was great! So many lovable dog options, from young to old, and the fosters were very knowledgeable about the temperament and backstory of each one. Overall, a great experience!“

“Amazing frozen yogurt and amazing people that work there!“

“I can not recommend Linda’s Vegan Bakery enough! Every cake for every celebration has exceeded my expectations. Not only are her cakes beautiful but they taste as good as they look and people are always commenting they can’t believe it’s vegan. Ms Linda is so accommodating which is rare with Vegan bakers.“

“One of the best burritos to eat is the steak burrito they don’t skimp on the meat and they taste so good y’all have to get the salsa verde with it it’s so good ?
And the whiskey shots hit all the time ?

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian burrito options as well as veggie quesadillas“

“Everything! Love their chai latte.“

“The Refectory Cafe is a true gem in Durham’s brunch scene. We tried the avocado toast and the breakfast bowl with grits, both of which were flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The avocado toast was vibrant and perfectly seasoned, while the breakfast bowl combined creamy grits with hearty ingredients that made for a satisfying start to the day.

We also sampled the chicken and waffles—crispy, tender, and just the right amount of indulgent. What stood out across all dishes was the freshness of the ingredients and the attention to detail in preparation.

The cafe also offers a solid range of vegetarian options, making it an inclusive spot for different dietary preferences. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the service was friendly and efficient.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fresh, delicious breakfast or brunch in Durham.“
