Was in the area for the Apple Store and dropped by twice in a week. A big store front with lots of seating. Pretty welcoming to people with laptops too!
Ordered a hot chocolate coffee first time – it was great! You can taste the drip coffee and the actual chocolate which comes through with more than just sweetness. The chocolate milk was foamy and creamy. There was some chocolate shavings on top as well 🙂
For my second time, ordered the egg salad with crackers and an iced tea latte with chocolate strawberry tea – the crackers are more like pie scraps which are flaky and delicious! egg salad is very creamy as well :))

Lovely chocolate chip cookie with salt. Clearly a Durham favorite. Had the cold brew as well. Pretty busy this morning but the line was moving fast. Line almost to the door and I had my cookie and cold brew in probably only 2 minutes. Props to the staff for running such a clean and efficient location!

Bean Traders is my favorite coffee shop in Durham. The Chocolate Habanero (iced) is amazing. Their desserts are varied and delicious and their breakfast/lunch menu is very tasty as well.

Definitely a great place to have some coffee and relax or work. The vibe here is great, people at the counter and baristas were kind and generous. And it seemed like everybody here was happy lol… I had a yogurt bowl and a cappuccino.
Loved the music too…

One of my favorite coffee shops in the area. It has both indoor and outdoor seating, with the indoor space divided into three comfortable sections that feel open and welcoming. The café is spacious, perfect for relaxing or working.
The menu offers a wide variety of food and drinks, all consistently delicious.

Super nice coffee shop—lots of space with a very nice staff. And the coffee is amazing and isn’t expensive. I went when it was a little busy and my 2nd drink was taking a bit to make and one of the baristas offered to top off my cold brew while I was waiting—which was really nice of him (thank you so much if you’re reading this! lol).
Can’t recommend this place enough!

I LOVE the chocolate habanero. The combinations I tried were all amazing. Simple menú and perfect for the amount of people they serve. Kind of a hipster place that welcomes everyone. I waited 40 minutes for my coffee TOTALLY WORHTY. Try ordering online if you are in a rush. Dont miss this coffee shop. Plenty of space to hang around.

A Durham institution. Better than the big chains. Get an iced chocolate coffee and one of their amazing baked goods. Very family-friendly, a great spot for runners coming off the American Tobacco Trail, lots of room for reading or working. The line can be long on weekends, but it’s so worth it to support local business owners, and the experience is so much better. Very friendly staff, and the owner is working the line with everyone else.

Great coffee; but they definitely need to add more savory food options. Service is always excellent. However, the wifi is spotty, so if you’re going there to work, be aware that they need to add more bandwidth, especially when there are several people working on their laptops.
Music is often too loud. Could also use more tables in front room. Miss the big, round one they used to have there.
