Salt N Cocoa
1125 NC-54 Suite 204, Durham, NC
Crema's Take
“This family-run gem in Durham crafts everything to order with genuine care, from velvety house-made rolled ice cream and crispy taiyaki to expertly pulled espresso drinks and stellar boba. What really sets Salt N Cocoa apart is how they've created a space that feels like a living room rather than a transaction—reviewers consistently mention wanting to linger, and watching the baristas and cooks work their magic becomes part of the experience. Whether you're after a traditional mocha, a creative specialty drink, or exploring their rotating taiyaki flavors (the Nutella version is a standout), you'll find yourself greeted like family in a place where both coffee and hospitality clearly matter.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

The food here was delicious! I tried the Nutella and strawberry taiyaki-- which was great enough to fill me up just right! I also had the strawberry milk tea that just worked really nicely! The service was quick and everyone was so friendly! I felt comfortable for a first visit…

WOW!! What a find! We were looking for a coffee spot we didn't know we found the best one! My husband got an Americano and I got the Mocha, some soft serve with mini m&M's and a taiyaki. Everything was amazing!! The staff was helpful and answered all of our/MY questions.
