Joe Van Gogh Broad St.

I get coffee pickup once a week from JVG—it has become a lovely Pandemic Times tradition to treat myself on a Saturday or Sunday morning to a tasty latte—and they never disappoint. The rose cardamom oat latte is my go-to, and their house made vanilla one is delicious as well. Also, they don’t have an exorbitant upcharge for non dairy milk (or as I like to call it, “the vegan tax”) which so many other places do! I really appreciate that.

My favorite coffee spot in Durham. Lovely baristas and a great covid safe setup (and a cozy interior when covid eventually eases) . Their rotating beans are always delicious. I can't leave without grabbing a bag or two!

The attitude here is pretty bad. I get that COVID is making things hard, I really do care, I just can't see being rude to customers during this time. They made my order wrong and were very bothered by having me ask for it to be remade after they tried to argue that it was fine as it was. I paid for a 20oz drink with an extra double shot added, and got a 16oz. How are you going to argue that the extra shots are in there when I paid almost $7 for a 20oz drink? It's my partner's birthday and I thought a nice coffee was in order.

Let me suggest that you change the attitude or the counter help to accommodate paying customers who meant no ill will, just wanted coffee.

That breakfast burrito I got was burnt and bland, bland, bland.

Not sure what advice there is here. Maybe just missed opportunities.

I loved the location near the Co-Op, such a disappointment that this location is the next closest.

The coffees today weren't very good even when they were remade/mine was right the first time but not good.

I was a barista for a long time, so you can save the eye roll and dismissive attitude, which you couldn't spare me this morning.

I'm sad to say that we might not be back if our next experience is similar to today's.

Just order when you get there. Tried to schedule an order and arrived to find my coffee had been sitting on the table outside for 50 minutes. It being December, it was cold and gross. When I went in and started to mention my pickup order I was cut off and told go outside, it is on the table.

Been here before without issue, but today was disappointing. I really didn't feel like fighting, so I tossed the coffee and left with the rest of my order.

Amazingly delicious little coffee shop. There are a few seats inside (20 maybe) with some more outside. The staff is super friendly and very fast. The coffee is really really good. This place would be worth the trip. Best part? You can even buy their grounds to have JvG coffee at home!

The location is great, the drinks are delicious and decently priced, and the staff is kind and very courteous. I love the variety of options too. The lavender syrup is my favorite!

I go here almost every Sunday to get my coffee whole bean. Friendly staff, fast service, and AMAZING coffee.

I’m very picky about how a cappuccino is supposed to be executed. They do it exactly right. The right pressure on the tamp, the right temperature of the water, they froth the milk correctly. It’s hard to get all this right but they manage to very consistently turn out a very excellent cappuccino. Keeps me coming back.

Incredibly kind staff. They corrected an order mistake I made and were super friendly. Super tasty coffee, too. Recently tried their macadamia nut milk and it was delicious with coffee. 10/10

Joe Van Gogh is the ideal of a neighborhood coffee shop. There are no platoons of beige pant wearing uniformed servers rushing to complete your order. The people that you see behind the counter are just that - your neighbors. inside you will find delicious coffee, free books, posters from local bands and business cards from local gig seekers. if this environment isn't your style, there is a Starbucks inside the Harris teeter just down the street. Go there. if you are laid-back, inclusive, and just enjoy a really good cup of coffee, and you don't see a seat ...ask me and I'll move my stuff over so you can sit down.

Second time visiting this coffee chain, first time at this location. Ordered inside and waited a bit (they may have missed me in queue, but were super friendly and attentive when they noticed). It was a sunny day, so not an unpleasant wait at least.

This rose and cardamon oat milk latte is crazy good, but didn’t hit me like my first visit. Will certainly try again as this location is closer to Elevation Church Durham than Woodcroft.

Free street parking right out front. Wasn’t busy this Sunday and I was able to park easily.
