7 Best Coffee Shops near Durham

“I got my Christmas tree at Emery Farm this year, and it was a great experience! All the trees were really nice and in really good shape, they sell cider donuts you can munch on, they had a cozy campfire going near the tree lot where you can keep warm while you're waiting, everyone is very friendly, and they are giving away a cute wooden ornament with a tree purchase! I wrestled it in my door and onto a stand, with minimal needle loss despite the manhandling. It may not be the cheapest option, but the quality is there and they make the experience worth it. If you are able to support local places instead of big box stores and corporations, it's really a good thing to do and it really does make a difference. It keeps our money in our community instead of the wallet of some big faceless far-off corporation. 🌲💚“

“Just found this hidden gem on Jenkins Court in Durham. The lattes are amazing and the staff is so welcoming. If you need a caffeine fix, definitely head to the Grind!!!“

“Mmmmmmm.... but call ahead. You’ll be happy you did.“

“So good! I love sitting in the window and the coffee is amazing“

“Tasting is believing! Got the rise and grind sandwich after I saw it on Instagram, and honestly the picture could not portray how delicious it was. The rise and grind sandwich was excellent but I look forward to trying other offerings! The coffee is amazing on its own, no need for flavored creams or extra sugar!! The staff was also exceptionally friendly as well!! #alwaysgrindin“

“I’ll be straight: I’m addicted to AJs Rush & I promised my husband I wouldn’t get one again after drinking one everyday for far too many days. That shit gets your blood pumping & they taste so damn good! That said, I still sneak them when I can because they are that good. Don’t tell my husband!“
