Bean Traders

Great coffee and scones, four stars only because it’s so good the wait can get long.

Good service. Popular place, so there’s definitely a line!

Best coffee in the area, I also really like the quiche but they often run out of it and think a thicker crust on the bottom would make it amazing.

Very good teas. I got a Tea Cloud with Ceylon tea in place of Earl Grey, since they were out. It was very good 👍🏼, it was on the sweeter side of tea lattes that I've had. I also tried a vanilla latte which was good as well, not bitter at all and I normally don't like coffee or espresso.

Bean Traders is a delight. I'm not a coffee drinker but love their chai, hot cocoa, sipping chocolate (!!!), and milkshakes. My friends and family report that their coffee is excellent. It feels very welcoming and the staff is helpful and kind. Bean Traders has a nice, relaxed vibe. It's nice to be at a place that has retirees, families, students, and just a lovely mix of folks. Lots of outdoor tables, which is especially helpful during this pandemic.

My favorite Durham coffee shop :) Excellent coffee, friendly staff, and lots of seating. They also have milkshakes, bagels, and other pastries. It's a great place for meeting with a group, a date, or just grabbing some coffee on the way to work. I'm a regular and you should be too!

I've been ordering cappuccinos at local cafés around the RTP area and most of the time I receive a latte (with the exception of Coco Cinnamon, their drink selection is great and always well made). For those that don’t know, cappuccinos are typically 6 oz (maybe less), around an equal split of espresso/milk/froth. For this reason they taste stronger than a latte. I’m happy they were able to remake it for me ... but still not as strong or smooth as I’d like. But great customer service in that regard.

Love this coffee shop in south Durham! Great location, staff is friendly, their cold brew is incredible, their treats and food are tasty, and a great place to study or work! I love their seasonal drinks and cold brews. Their bacon and herb quiche is delicious! Their outside sitting is great! They also sell beans, which I buy occasionally! Always recommend it!

Nice staff. Good atmosphere. Love their chai latte with Almond milk. Looking forward to more vegan options. I recommend visiting them.

Except for few noisy kids every once in a while, it's a nice place to sit and get stuff done! Amazing coffee too. I tried to get a hot chocolate that I can add artificial sweeteners to but they don't have one. They make theirs using chocolate syrup!
