Foster Street Coffee

Best coffee shop ever!
Long overdue- almost don’t want to review it so more and more people don’t take it over, ha.

The barista team are all the nicest ever and so personable. I’ve come here to work probably 100 times over the past year and a half, and it’s like a home away from home. Very spacious, great natural light, lots of tables (on rare occasions it is packed out, but there’s usually a spot or many especially on a regular weekday). Phenomenal cold brew which is my go-to, and the specialty drinks are great as well the few times we have gotten those.

Oh and they allow dogs, the ultimate icing on the cake

I love Foster Street Coffee, probably one of my top coffee shops in Durham. They have great drinks and the staff is always super friendly. The shop is usually pretty busy so it can be hard to actually sit here but when you can it has a great work or hang out vibe. It's also in a really nice part of downtown. Highly recommend!

Fosters Coffee ☕️ is the bomb! I use to think another spot was better but their service sucks at the main location so I started going to Fosters. Recently I’ve been trying all of their board suggested coffees like a Strawberry Latte that benefited a local school! I add an extra shot of espresso, Oak Milk and it was magical!!! Like who knew Strawberries 🍓 & Coffee would pair so well. So good I barely made it to the car and it was gone. I also tired their Cold Brew with Lavender syrup and that was yummy too. My go to is a Chai Tea Latte with 2 shots of espresso or a Mocha Latte w/ extra shot and Vanilla. Everything I’ve had there is good 😊 the only thing I dislike about this place is there is NEVER anywhere to just enjoy your coffee. There are WAY TO MANY PEOPLE using the place as their home office. I wish they’d limit the time you can work in the space. Because it’s decorated so nice and creative with the coffee photos (my favorite by far is the Jude & Ewan in the bathroom.) It’s so hard to find a coffee spot that is real coffee house style that promotes moments to enjoy the coffee with friends or relax. But the coffee is a MUST!

I loved Foster Street Coffee because of it's friendly staff and delicious smooth vanilla latte. It is bright and airy with lots of seating options. It is a great place to work, study or hang out. It was packed with Duke Students the day I was there.

Really great gem for working or studying. Good, bottomless coffee, lots of tables, quiet ambiance, clean, nice bathrooms, and nice lighting. There is even a conference room you can rent by the hour.

I came here on a visit from NYC with some local friends to enjoy lattes in the park down the street.
I ordered a cinnamon oat latte of some sort, which isn't listed on their online menu. Bur I believe it was a special holiday flavor.
It tasted very "fall-y" and the oat milk accented the other flavors well.
The line was pretty quick and the employees were so friendly, efficient, and happy!
It's a pretty big café with a lot of seating but when we went around 5 PM on a Sunday, it was packed with people quietly doing work on their laptops.
Next time I'm back in NC, I'll visit for some afternoon caffeine.

Solid coffee shop! Probably the one I have frequented the most in Durham. I love their Foster Select latte and their yogurt parfait. I also like their chicken salad options and that they offer non-coffee options (like their refreshers or seasonal flavored tea). Service has always been great!

Multiple visits, first review. Good experience each time. I've never partaken in food items, only coffee of one sort or another. I think this trip was a specialty mocha latte of some sort, maybe the Nutella latte. Just the right level of sweet since I've started using the French press more at home. Cool pics on the walls with all sort of famous peeps holding a coffee cup, although this time they had someone's face taped over all the others. Not sure what that was about, but amusing nonetheless. There's a good amount of tables and other chairs as well as a meeting/conference area with vid capabilities that I assume can be reserved. Cool feature. The bariatas are pretty fast. Before I get back to the counter, they're handing me my drink wherever I stand/sit.

Love the Foster Select! Hilarious street signs support an urban but quirky atmosphere. Set up for DINKS & SINKS but not families. Nice place to grab a coffee then go to the farmers' market or park.

The cleanest cafe I have been in recently! I don’t even mention delicious coffee and nice employees!
