Bean Traders

Always a pleasure. It’s great to have local businesses who show their flare and personality flawlessly. Definitely a spot to come and enjoy, grab to-go, and they even have online ordering. One of my Durham faves!

Coffee is great! We got a chocolate caramel pie, too sweet to me😅but tasted good. Nice place for study, work, and talk with friends.

My wife and I stopped by here to grab some lattes and boy were they good!

The place Is interesting and busy with lots of seating scattered throughout, and most of the seats taken, so you gotta be aggressive, and kind of course. So initially, we sat outside until some were available inside.

The lattes were great though. We're not sure why some places don't do hazelnut 🤔, but my wife enjoyed her Vanilla Latte. I really enjoyed my Oat Chai Tea Latte. It was smooth and the mugs make it worth it.

I met an industry colleague here for the first time yesterday and loved it so much I stopped by in between appointments today! I'm vegan and I love coffee shops and I love it when they have fresh baked vegan options. I had the pumpkin muffin yesterday and I had the donut muffin today and they were both delicious. I was turned on by something called a tcloud which is Earl Gray tea with vanilla and your choice of milk. I recommend soy milk.

Coffee is great, but service is extremely slow. We waited at least 30 minutes for 2 French pressed and 2 1lbs bags of coffee. Even though the coffee is great, I would not recommend if you have anything else to do for that day! Will not repeat visit

I'm a Birmingham, AL native, and I frequently miss the quirky and delicious coffee shops there. I've tried to find a coffee shop/cafe in Durham that has both character and delicious coffee, but I haven't had any luck... until now! Bean Traders is SO spacious, has such a fun and eclectic vibe, and has both delicious coffee AND food! The workers were also very sweet; you'll have to wait a few minutes to get your things, but it's well worth it because it's made fresh. I'll definitely be coming back!

Great employees and great ownership. I always love to support a business that I share values with, but I usually enjoy my coffee more elsewhere. That being said, Bean Traders does have incredible pastries and bagels. My personal favorite is the one with jalapeno cream cheese and cucumber slices, but they're all very good. The inside also has plenty of outlets and is a nice atmosphere to get some work done, although sitting right under the speakers can be distracting.

Fast and friendly service, even at the busiest hour of the day. The seating is abundant both inside and out so it's a great spot to meet up for a cup of coffee.

It's really wild over here when it's busy and the art/decor is also rather untamed. Good quality beans and food. Love their dairy free waffles with natural maple syrup and dairy free butter 😋 they're a little pricey but such a decadent treat for someone with a sensitive tummy especially with a coconut milk latte

Pretty good coffee and decent baked goods. Place was packed and it took a while to get food and coffee. The gal working the food side looked like she did a good job, just wasn't very efficient. Took a bit longer to get my coffee than I expected but it wasn't too bad.
