Can honestly say I will be going out of my way just to try this place again! Also while there, i saw they offer live music (assuming on the huge stage they have inside the building) and picked up a flyer to research local bands and come back one weekend to hear some play! Places like this make me love my small community.

It's located right inside The Durham Hotel on Chapel Hill Street, and I really like the atmosphere. The space is stylish, relaxed, and comfortable with that cool mid-century feel the hotel is known for. It works just as well for grabbing something quickly as it does for sitting for a while and enjoying the space. What I especially like is that they have a good tea selection. There are several loose-leaf options, including jasmine, black, and herbal teas, along with a London Fog if you want something a little more substantial. They also have hot chocolate, which is perfect when I want something sweet and warm. Service is friendly, the atmosphere is easy, and it's just a nice little stop in downtown Durham.

The coffee was fine, I expected more but its definitely better than any fast food places in Mebane but there a few places I can think of with better coffee. Service was friendly and my order was ready quickly but when i ordered the coffee they were like "just coffee or???" Like confused or a little judgmental about it. Anyway it is a nice place and they have good seating if you want to hang out for a bit. Probably worth you trying and checking it out yourself. Ive been there a few times and Im probably done with it.

I got the Cooke Butter Latte and a Apple Turnover…read more The Latte has a good Espresso flavor not too strong has great notes and you can taste the cookie butter. Cost $5.95 honestly well worth the money! 5 out of 5 The Apple Turnover over is outsourced by Paul's Pastry Shop but it is amazing!!! Soft and flaky. Not sure of the price but over all close to $10 for everything. 10 out of 5 Inside looked clean and well taken care of. It does have an outhouse if needed but I am not trying it out. 5 out of 5 Lady who was running the coffee shop was nice and helpful. 5 out of 5 The only thing I would complain about is hours as I do drive by at 6am and 6pm from work so on the weekend I had to go out of my way to try. But nothing to knock them down for a well deserved 5

No joke, I went to both the cafe and bar in Carrbobo and the teahouse in Chapel Hill all in one…read moreweekend - December 19th and 20th to be exact - and both places were perfectly wonderful but the teahouse edged the cafe and bar out. The location is a few miles outside of Chapel Hill downtown, and despite getting a lot of light pollution from that... it feels like your just in the middle of nowhere when you stay in the yome on the property. The yome itself is definitely not really built for more than two people (or a third, smaller human or pet) but it was so nice to disconnect from screen entertainment for a night. The staff of the teahouse was welcoming and helpful with recommendations when we came back in to refill the mead jug we got before they close. We tried the Apple Pie mead (it was SO good, just the right amount of sweetness) and When Lemon met Ginger - outside of that I tried the Berry Berry (I think I have that name wrong) and it was BEAUTIFUL. We also tried Balancing the Moon in a large pot (for the third time) and the next morning I tried Sunrise. I had been expecting a black tea for that, but instead was treated to something reminiscent of a zinger from Celestial Seasonings - good childhood memories hit me when i drank it. At least one friend and I plan on coming back - and I would definitely like to try staying in the yome again when it's warmer!

If you're looking for your knees to pop a little when you sit down, this is the place for you haha. Go support your local small businesses! I got the ube ice milk at 50% sugar and it was delish! There's only one size and it's pretty big. I definitely recommend mixing it super well with the coated ube on the sides of the cup, otherwise you're just gonna taste the milk. I loved it though cause it felt like I was getting different layers of the drink based on how much ube I had mixed in- very high quality milk and drink. I would totally recommend! My roommate got their strawberry matcha, and we watched them make their matcha and 100% authentic, it's not just some concentrate, we watched them mix the matcha with the designated whisk- super high quality and she loved it too. I had a sip and their boba quality is also 10/10, super super chewy and nice! The guy behind the counter was also really kind- very quick service, patient with you as you look at their wonderful menu. You can also ask to sample some of their toppings to make a well-informed decision for yourself. They also have little gifts you can buy in the form of tea, popping boba, or even cute boba/drink carriers. Also, they have a cute interactive wall where you can write a note or draw some pictures. Would be back again! Personally think it would be fun if there were also board games around too!

| Overview + Brown…read moreSugar Ice Milk is deliciously creamy + Boba texture is perfect + Decent milk tea size in a cute cup with "ears" + Good selection of fruit teas, smoothies & iced coffee drinks + Cool ambiance + Fast customer service - Boba cost extra for Brown Sugar Ice Milk - Taro milk tea here is made of powder / other ingredients look artificial - Various toppings in the open - are they clean? - Menu is purely drinks; no desserts or snacks | Full Review Located in a corner of the Hope Valley Commons shopping area, Bapu Teahouse Durham looks inviting from the outside with its cool boba milk tea structure by the cafe's front door, showing Bapu's simple logo outside. Bapu's ambiance inside looks artsy, with cute aesthetics and cool atmosphere. What stood out to me was the assortment of toppings displayed. The good thing: they look pretty colorful and fresh; the not-so-good thing: they're uncovered, so I'm not sure if they're clean. Nonetheless, it's convenient to see the different topping options you can add to your milk tea. I noticed Bapu uses the artificial purple taro powder for its milk tea instead of taro paste, so I eliminated that choice from my milk tea selection process. There was only one young employee who took orders and also made the milk teas when I went, but his customer service was good as he made fine recommendations and served my order fast. Unlike Boba Baba's eye-aching menu screens, Bapu Teahouse's menu overhead looks clear with photos, highlighting its special drinks. There are no kiosks here, so you'd have to order face-to-face. As the server recommended, I ordered the Brown Sugar Ice Milk (75% sweetness, light ice). It doesn't look as Instagram-worthy as Tiger Sugar's brown sugar milk teas, but it looks yummy enough, with brown sugar syrup clearly visible in Bapu's cute & translucent cup with ears. Bapu only serves 1 size for its drinks. When I ordered this, the server asked if I wanted boba. Most decent milk tea cafes I go to automatically already have the basic tapioca pearls or boba by default in their brown sugar milk tea drinks but Bapu charges extra for that. Brown Sugar Ice Milk is listed as $6. With the boba topping, I ended up paying a total of $7.76, which is slightly higher than average price of brown sugar boba milk teas in cafes I've been to. Compare that to Feng Cha in Morrisville, which offers Dirty Boba (brown sugar milk tea for only $6.25 with the boba already included, so Bapu's pricing here sounds like a joke. To be fair, the size of the cup is large enough, with its cute top that reminds me of Doraemon or Hello Kitty. The material of it doesn't look cheap and it feels fun to hold. The sweetness of the brown sugar flavor was just right. It might have been too sweet if it was set to 100% sweetness level, and it's still probably slightly sweet at 50% but my usual preference of 75% for any brown sugar milk tea was perfect here. The milk was deliciously-creamy with the fresh & chewy boba - perfect texture. Server did a good job blending with just the right amount of ice, good amount of brown sugar syrup & boba. It's not on the same level as Boba Baba's Brown Sugar Boba or Tiger Sugar's brown sugar drinks but it's better than many mediocre brown sugar milk teas I've tried in other cafes. Bapu Teahouse's menu is purely drinks, with a nice variety of milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies & iced coffee. Sadly, there are no snack or non-drink dessert options here that you can pair with your milk tea. It's not a big deal if you're only craving for a drink, and it looks like Bapu has a good selection of toppings to customize your order. Just prepare to pay extra for those. | Overall Score: 3.4/5 | Recommended Alternative: Sharetea in Morrisville
