The Oak House Durham
126 W Main St, Durham, NC
Crema's Take
“Tucked into downtown Durham, this hybrid coffee, wine, and beer bar has mastered the art of the third space with both communal bar seating and cozy tables perfect for lingering over a book or laptop for hours. The coffee is solid specialty work, but what keeps locals and remote workers coming back is the genuinely warm atmosphere and the bonus of being able to pivot from a morning cappuccino to an evening glass of wine all in the same spot. Their teas deserve special mention too, and the pastries pair beautifully with whatever you order.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Open late.

Coffee is going to be standard specialty coffee. It's good, but nothing to write home and tell your mom about. They offer different sizes of cappuccinos, the smallest being 12oz. Very friendly staff! Environment is very clean. A great place to meet up for coffee, wine, or…
