22 Best Cafes near Durham

“I got the southwest sandwich and can I just say it is the best thing I have ever tasted. Everything is so fresh and It tastes just like Home. Also, everything is very affordable! Lastly, the chef is one of the coolest people I have ever met. 1000000/10 experience“

“Great iced coffee!! Has alt. milks like oatmilk 💕🥛🌾“

“GM Matt and his team are always fantastic and accommodating. I work for the Uni and The Works is our go-to lunch spot since it's so easy to order and pick it up from them. If you're placing a larger order, you can shoot them an email and they'll even write people's names on each package so you don't have to play the guessing game when distributing food. The day-old rack also offers a great deal on bagels and treats. Don't forget to sign up for the Rewards program so you can rack up points and snag some freebies.“

“Pretty good place to have a coffee. They have great flavors and sitting outside is nice, but the inside atmosphere is not great. It gets busy and loud so doing homework is not something most people can do. It's also connected to a Subway, which is either a bonus or a negative, depending on your feelings!“

“Two Bees was such a delightful find! Everything about them was perfection. Walking into the cafe, the decor is lovely with a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking the river. The staff was so sweet and just lovely authentic people. But the offerings they had were simply divine. Their croissant was reminiscent of European quality, all their ingredients were fresh and tasty, but the best thing was their passion fruit tart- outstanding! Very highly recommend this place!“

“Stopped in for our first time to grab some lunch, and wow! Absolutely delicious!!! We got the chicken salad and the Italian and both were the freshest tasting sandwiches we’ve had in a long time! I was so excited to see that they use boars head for their meat and it comes with a generous portion to say the least!! We are hooked!! The owners are very nice and transformed this spot beautifully! I can’t forget to mention that I had to grab the Shain’s of Maine cookie dough ice cream as a family favorite treat!! If you’re in the area definitely make a stop in!! I can’t wait to try more of their menu and the soups they have to offer!! 🙌🏼 10/10!“

“Great vibes, great people!“

“If you're in Newmarket, June's Café is a must-visit! The espresso is rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced—one of the best I've had locally. And The Loomer sandwich... absolutely delicious! Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and so satisfying. Cozy atmosphere and lovely service, too. Highly recommend! ☕🥪💛“

“I’ve been working for companies at Pease on and off for a dozen years now and Belle Peppers has been my go-to lunch spot for just as long. In addition, my company frequently orders catering from them so I don’t think I go more than a couple of days without eating something from Belle Peppers. The staff is always friendly and I’ve never had a disappointing experience. It definitely gets busy around lunchtime but if you go there regularly like me you know how to get in and get out quickly. Try the spicy chicken sandwich!“

“These girls at this aromas are amazing. I’m typically a mess when I show up because I haven’t had my caffeine yet and they make me laugh always get my order right and quick and sometimes leave me encouragement on my cup. I didn’t typically shop here until I moved to the town, but it’s my new favorite place to buy coffee and caffeine. Bros for life“

“COFFEE CRAVING was the perfect discovery for a cold windy day. The best coffee. Thank you.“

“Great space, finally made it over the other day and wish I had sooner! Big batch of coffee was about depleted at that moment so she made a quick pour over and it was delicious! Plus…Kitties!!!“

“James and Ashley are some of my favorite baristas! One day they were out of egg white veggie bite things and she reccomended (cause I’m vegetarian) to take the bacon off one of the sandwiches. I ended up getting what I needed to start my day so thank you so much for the help.
And James is always friendly and I get stoaked when I see him WERK.“

“The service is pretty typical of youth run franchise salad places. The communication is awkward and halting and brusk. They definitely appear as if you've interrupted an important tiktok video and are annoyed at your presence. The salads are good and it works if you are just grabbing lunch and going otherwise it's oddly sterile and unwelcoming“

“One best breakfast wrap I ever had ..great place“

“Our first time eating at Gallivant was yesterday. It was fantastic. The place is beautiful with open brick everywhere and completely decorated for the holidays… Everyone from the chef to our server were very attentive and welcoming. The food was outstanding! We will be back for sure and all of Dover & beyond should get over to this great establishment!“

“When I need to eat healthy, fresh and delicious food, this is the stop. When I’m craving a sweet treat, this is the stop! Ohhh…I could go for one of those completely over the top Pop Tarts right now“

“They are just such a pleasant coffee shop the owner is just so friendly such a cozy atmosphere and there coffee is UNBELIEVABLE definitely recommended one of my favorite places in the Newington Mall if not my favorite shop in the mall such a hidden gem“

“Highly recommend this store - great selection, knowledgeble staff, convenient location and parking.“

“I've been to a lot of Paneras and this is one of the Paneras that I have been to.

I have eaten food at a lot of Paneras and the food I had hear tasted like the food I've had at other ones.

It is and does what it says on the tin.“

“It's a very nice warm comforting place to eat at. It is not really a place to eat dinner at.... But breakfast, snack, lunch is really good. The only thing I don't like is their breakfast menu is only for breakfast, not snack or lunch, so that's a little annoying“
