Crema's Take

Nectar Cafe is a warm, thoughtfully designed spot in Durham's Geer House building where the baristas greet you like an old friend from day one, backed by genuinely excellent espresso-forward coffee and matcha that keeps regulars coming back weekly. Beyond the stellar drinks, they've nailed the full cafe experience with house-made pastries including standout macarons, light food options, and a sophisticated-but-welcoming atmosphere that works equally well for focused work sessions or lingering over coffee with friends.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

I love Nectar! I co-own a small business nearby and we regularly send our clients their way, and nobody comes back disappointed. Friendly service, consistent drinks, fun seasonal menu offerings, and really good pastry selection. My go-to coffee shop in the area!

The folks at Foster St Coffee (owners)have done it again with this new location called Nectar! Excellent atmosphere superbly appointed in the new Geer House building. It's a big city vibe in up and coming Durham, but with an impressive interior and exterior that invite you to…
