Crema's Take
“Joe Van Gogh has carved out a devoted following in Durham with their espresso-focused drinks that range from creative house specialties like their beloved dirty chai to classic cortados and flat whites executed with real skill. The vibe strikes that perfect balance between a quick caffeine stop and a place worth lingering in—clean and cozy with friendly staff and solid food options that keep regulars coming back. Whether you're in for a five-minute grab or a longer sit with friends, this is the kind of neighborhood spot that takes their coffee seriously without taking themselves too seriously.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings.

Fantastic! Best Mocha latte and the grits bowl amazing. The over easy egg in the grits bowl cooked perfectly! Runny yolk and crispy edges, can’t get closer to over the top perfection!!
Best dirty chai. (Chai with espresso) Sweet and helpful staff. Loved the quick stop in!
One of my favorite local coffee shops. Good, quick service most of the time. Great specialty latte options, but they will also crush making classics like a Cortado or flat white. Their food options are surprisingly good and varied, and you can have a decent meal here, especially…
I’ve been here a few times where the food/coffee and service is consistent. Great coffee and bites but their customer service is off. One of the individuals that rings you up kinda has an attitude which is not cute. So not thanks. Additionally, I found it interesting when I…
