“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.“

“Okay so I never really do reviews.
But this one deserves a review.
The Basil Pizza that I got was so wonderful exceptional heavenly delicious.
Absolutely perfection.
And they have really excellent cake.
The price of sky high though.
However you have to pay for quality right....
And every penny is worth it.
They do not mess around on their pizza and the quality of their ingredients and the quality of their bread.
Heavenly perfection I will continue to eat there.
😋 🍕 Delicious 🤤 💕“
