Café - West Union
402 Chapel Dr, Durham, NC
Crema's Take
“Tucked within Duke's campus but welcoming to the public, this cafeteria punches well above the typical university dining hall with an impressive rotating menu spanning ramen, curry, pasta, and poke bowls that draw repeat visitors from across Durham. The setting strikes a rare balance between a quick coffee grab and a comfortable spot to linger with wifi and ample parking, making it especially beloved by hospital workers seeking refuge without sacrificing a spot. Fair warning: portions lean generous and prices reflect the quality ingredients, so come hungry and ready to splurge a bit on genuinely craveable food.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Wifi. Parking available.

Great option if you're at the hospital and dont want to lose a parking spot and pay for another. A short walk with numerous options and an awesome setting. It took me a while to finally decide on something as there were too many options, and that's a good thing. If you have a…
For a college dining hall that’s also open to the public, this is an amazing place. Anyone who complains about the food here hasn’t had the “pleasure” of dining in a typical college cafeteria setting. This dining hall is centrally located next to the University Store. There’s…
I tried Indian curry, pasta(cream, tomato, basil one), spicy tuna salmon poke and Ramen for about 2 months. It's good taste. And it was very enough to be stuffed. But they serve too small portion for law fish for Poke bowl.
Food is very expensive and not that good. very overhyped. vegetables and meats are very low quality. The ramens are too salty, pasta is always overcooked. The margherita is not too bad. Crepes used to be good but since Americans can’t eat nuts they stopped using nutella… The…
