Beyu Blue
341 W Main St, Durham, NC
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Duke's student center, Beyu Blue is a convenient campus caffeine stop with hit-or-miss consistency—some visitors rave about the baristas and vibe while others find the espresso technique questionable and drip coffee underwhelming. The shop seems to shine with its hot caramel drinks and does pull together a solid student community atmosphere, though you might want to stick with their specialty drinks rather than taking chances on the fundamentals.”

The drip coffee is okay. The barista was half asleep so I didn’t risk ordering any espresso drinks
Beyu Blue, located near the Duke University bookstore, offers a convenient spot for students and faculty to grab coffee and espresso-based drinks. While the shop provides the basics caffeine seekers need, the overall atmosphere feels somewhat tired and dated. The menu features standard coffee shop fare, including drip coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, and other espresso drinks. The quality is generally acceptable, if not particularly standout. The interior could use some refreshing to create a more inviting space. The worn furniture and dated decor give the impression that the shop has seen better days. Despite this, it remains a functional option for those needing a quick caffeine fix between classes or while browsing the bookstore. In summary, Beyu Blue serves its purpose as a campus coffee spot, but don't expect a cutting-edge cafe experience. It's more about convenience and basic coffee needs than being a destination in itself.
Better than most cafes on Duke but still mid. They have a good caramello and that too only the hot one. Nice people tho
Beyu Blue at the Duke student center is my favorite spot for coffee on campus. Great baristas, great coffee, and a great vibe. Who could ask for anything more?
Maybe they should change their name to Beyu Scam instead. 🤷♀️ They taught me new way for how to make latte by pouring espresso into milk. Seriously, how is this place still in business? Why bother open this shop if this is the amount of care you are willing to put into?
