A local place where everybody knows your name (because you ordered to-go many times, no doubt, but still!). They make their own chai and operate an exquisite coffee bar. Their fruit cups are legit. Usually open seven days a week!

Fast casual. Good quality. I was impressed my acai bowl wasn’t totally melted halfway through even though I was eating slowly. Outdoor seating. Accessible. Gender neutral restroom.

What a lovely surprise. Was clean, upbeat, a reasonable walk from the Amtrak train station, and had great food. Was even open on a Monday when we were taking a train out of town. There is a nice outdoor seating area. They had gluten sensitive options available including gluten free bread. We had a Thai iced tea to go (great for the train). But I can’t wait to try their independent coffee shop options the next time I am in town.

Decided to come to New World Cafe for breakfast while I was in Durham NC. The food was amazing! The customer service was spectacular!!! Logan served us and was so patient and welcoming. We would definitely be back. Oh, and the hot cocoa….smh…words can not describe how delicious it is(with whipped cream) Yum

Great coffee. Moist banana bread (note: their style of banana bread does not have banana pieces or nuts). The owner and staff were very friendly. I’m not sure why previous reviews said the shop was unkind to Black people. They were perfectly respectful and kind to me. I will be glad to return.
The shop opened 6 months ago and still has a few kinks to work out. For example, the self-serve syrup is inside of a creamer jug, which makes it hard to measure how much syrup is being poured. Would love to have the syrup put into a traditional pump container. Also, the syrup container needs a label.
The shop is located at the corner of Duke & Main st. There’s free street parking on Duke. Not sure about main st.

Came in for caffeine after lunch nearby. My coworker and I were inside a minimal amount of time, and both were extremely happy. I had the blended and frozen peanut butter mocha, it was very good. Definitely will mark this place as a spot to come back, and to try their food! Staff was great, place was clean!

Loved this place! Only issue was the drink leaking between the lid and cup—definitely recommend using a straw. It stained our shirts, but we’ll still be coming back!

Cute and tidy place, kind staff. I got a chai latte and it wasn’t very flavorful, it tasted very milky. I didn’t try the food so I’d go back for that but not the chai’s.

Mike exceeded my expectations on my catering order for a board meeting in the Chesterfield Building. He was prompt, responsive, got the order correct as ordered and delivered it fresh to the meeting attendees. I will definitely be saving this as a future catering contact.

Enjoyed my experience here. They’re still getting their feet under them so come by and help them strengthen their foothold in Durham. I greatly enjoyed my Chai, sandwich, and the music.
