Crema's Take
“Coffee at The Durham is a wonderfully versatile neighborhood gem that feels equally at home hosting a quiet morning, a productive work session, or a date night—all thanks to their genuinely attentive staff and a menu that spans from beautifully crafted lattes to generously portioned brunches like their standout vegan pancakes. The space strikes an inviting balance between clean, contemporary design and a playful retro aesthetic that keeps things feeling fun and approachable rather than precious. Whether you're stopping in for a fresh espresso drink, settling in with their quality food and strong wifi, or just seeking out a welcoming local spot where everyone actually knows how to treat customers, this is the kind of place that consistently earns its loyal following.”
What to expect

The food was Amazing!!! The falafel was the best I've had in a while, especially with the sauce they provided. Drinks were a heavy pour, which is always good! Our waiter was great! The decor is simple chic, however it can be a bit drafty in there depending on what time of year…
