Saladelia - Perkins Library @ Duke
411 Chapel Dr, Durham, NC
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a stunning glass room within Perkins Library, Saladelia serves Counter Culture espresso in an atmosphere that feels more like a retreat than a campus café, with generous seating and natural light that makes it ideal for long study sessions or meetings. While the coffee quality is consistently solid and the location unbeatable for Duke students, service can be inconsistent and prices lean toward the premium side, though many regulars find it worth it as the most reliable specialty coffee spot on campus.”

Absolutely stunning. Wish I went to undergrad here
Terrible staff, I waited my order for 10 minutes and it weren’t that busy. Customers behind me get their order. I only ordered an ice latte and when they finally got my order, they made it hot.
Overpriced but this is the only consistently decent coffee place on campus. Good location and nice seats too!
It's pretty easily accessible if you are studying at Bostock or Perkins, pretty much always open. In terms of taste of food and coffee it is fairly average in all honesty
A nice cafe in a beautiful glass room in Duke's library that is full of comfy chairs! The coffee is from counter culture so it's really good - even the drip! It's open late but you can only get in late at night if you are a Duke student.
