Crema's Take

“Bean Traders is a spacious Durham favorite that masterfully balances speed and slowness, equally welcoming whether you're grabbing a quick cold brew or settling in with your laptop for hours. Their signature creative drinks like the Chocolate Habanero iced coffee steal the spotlight, while thoughtful touches like genuinely safe gluten-free options and a lineup of craveable pastries (hello, salted chocolate chip cookie) show real care for their community. The vibe here is infectiously joyful—baristas are generous, the crowd feels happy, and there's something about the place that keeps people coming back multiple times a week.”

What to expect

Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Bean Traders is my favorite coffee shop in Durham. The Chocolate Habanero (iced) is amazing. Their desserts are varied and delicious and their breakfast/lunch menu is very tasty as well.

Was in the area for the Apple Store and dropped by twice in a week. A big store front with lots of seating. Pretty welcoming to people with laptops too! Ordered a hot chocolate coffee first time - it was great! You can taste the drip coffee and the actual chocolate which comes…
