Not much to eat
Too cold
They don’t accept money. I was shocked.
I went in and ordered an overpriced ice coffee (almost $5!?!) and when I tried to hand them a bill, was told the don’t accept cash.
Next time I’ll go elsewhere.
Loved our coffee and pasties! We also ended up ordering two of the apple bourbon cake slices- my sister called it life changing- definitely worth coming in to try it!
A good to sometimes great coffee. They have a good selection of drinks and the inside has a nice vibe to it. Usually has a nice crowd and have never had issues with orders or wait time. A great spot in downtown Durham
Lost its charm about a year ago. Looks like they cleared house and new team isn’t as experienced (no good training it seems like because no improvement). A girl used to be able to take aesthetic pics of her latte here!
They had a lot of roaches even then.. I’ve seen too many critters my last visit and I’ll spare the details about what my friend found crawling on those syrup bottles and by the register… i attempted to go back but have been disappointed
Even the times I’ve gone for a drink… I got served in glass with lipstick stains
One of the best work spots in Durham
Terrible. Terrible coffee. Burnt. This place is a joke. Walked in at 7:15am and the place is loud. The heavy set guy is yelling about something, talking so loud. He turns around and you are literally staring at his buttcrack. First thing in the morning and this is your greeting. Then it took two guys fifteen minutes to make my cappuccino. No line, just talking and doing who knows what? Finally I get the cappuccino and it’s 16oz. I said “I ordered a 12 oz” to which he said “you got an upgrade” with the stupidest smug look on his face. I kinda vibed him and said “yeah, right”. Then I walked outside and tried to drink the giant cappuccino and it was burnt and blistering hot, totally over extracted, like your first attempt at making a cappuccino. I thought about it for a second, started this review and then finally just walked back in and put it on a table and left. Absolute disaster of a business. There’s better coffee and service at a Sheets than the Oak House. I’m going to write the management. This was just not happening.
Great burger!
Hussein was the best service, came in every morning for coffee and was always greeted nicely! Best conversation! Great place to get coffee!

I’ve been going to the The Oak House for a few years now and it is always my morning drink of choice . Taurean and Hussein always provide the best experience and know my order by heart. I look forward to continue being serviced by the Oak House.

Great coffee, great staff, with nice music. Special thanks to Hussein for being so welcoming!
Oak house is truly a magnificent place. Its ambiance and magnificent decoration make our eyes beautiful. Their coffee is magnificently very good. The service was fast and professional. Thanks to the Oak house family

I love the Oak House, and I am a regular here. I know many of us use the coffee shop in the evening to study. The music is routinely a little loud and not conducive to learning. I purchased noise-canceling headphones to work in the coffee shop. That feels slightly counter-intuitive.
If we can address this, this place will be five stars for me.
