    Crisp and refreshing layered Pomegranate Acai energy fueler
    Lauren S.

    Greeted by 6'5" and kind barista! Assisted my friend (with questionable taste as she does not partake in coffee) with a bright and refreshing fruit energy fuel drink. The location was inviting and comfortable with patrons working on laptops and enjoying their afternoon sip n reads.

    Lots of crumbs under one chair and a napkin under another.

    I got came here for a few hours to do some work. I got a drip coffee, which I don't expect to be particularly good, but it wasn't good at all. Not burnt like Starbucks, just watered down it seemed. I couldn't finish it. The interior has a cozy feel even though they didn't keep it very warm, and I think to say that Caribou is like a cozy Starbucks is a reasonable comparison. I did see some crumbs and trash left under some chairs which just made it feel a little messy but it wasn't too bad. Overall I don't think it's a bad spot, but there's nothing about it that really makes me want to come back.

    Caribou Coffee has been on my places to try in Chapel Hill for a while now. The baristas were very friendly and offered menu suggestions when asked. I ordered a London Fog, which has become my new favorite drink. The barista did a fabulous job with my drink. I mean it as so delicious. The tea flavor + milk + a little bit of sweetness = just right! It's the best London Fog that I've ever had. Needless to say I'll will visit this location again.

    THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I have been to LOADS of coffee shops all over the country and Caribou is definitely one of my favorites. It just feels at home, I have never gotten anything here that disappoints. 10/10 haha.

    Obsessed! I need this in the Chicago area!…read more I was meeting up with a friend while in Chapel Hill and told her I'd love to grab coffee and take a walk. And she knew just the place... She brought me to Caffe Driade where we grabbed coffee (ice latte with almond milk for me) and then made our way down to trails where we enjoyed our coffee walking in this amazing wooded area. It was a hot June day, but between the shade and it being morning it wasn't too bad. There's also some tables up top by the cafe, but I personally prefer the walk/hike. The coffee was fine, but the hiking/atmosphere was amazing. If i make it back to the Triangle area I'll be here every morning!

This is an interesting place to have coffee at any time with friends and enjoy nature. There's so many places to sit amongst the trees and to relax it's quite enjoyable. They have a pretty decent selection of coffee and they offered some food items as well. I really enjoyed my time here. I just wish they had more comfortable chairs. The metal small chairs are not comfortable so we weren't here as long as we would've liked to have been. I tried something completely new out of my comfort zone, a golden milk latte. This was absolutely delicious and I would get this again. I was able to add honey as my sweetener and really enjoyed this different cup of coffee.

Their drip is a single origin the roast, where they had Ethiopian Sidamo roast when I visited. It had the vharacteristic blueberry note as normal for the region. Way less expensive and much better quality than the big Star chain! The menu offers pour over coffee, which got me really excited. However the barista told me the pour over machine was broke. Machine? Pour over is literally just pouring water over the coffee in a filter. Weird. Apparently not real baristas. The BACON, EGG AND CHEESE BISQUIT was good. The bacon was thick, good quality piece of pork The place is clean, however the ambulance was felt a little like a cafeteria, and not as cozy as some coffee shops. They have many small tables, with some near power outlets for those that plan to plugin and work. The barista seemed depressed. They were definitely not greeting customers with a happy persona. I hope he is ok. Didn't feel welcomed. Overall, I would come back, but I didn't leave being wow'd.

I got an iced decaf americano with vanilla, which was delicious and came in a glass since they knew I was sticking around.

Yonderlust is more than just a coffee shop--it's one of those spaces where you can easily spend an entire afternoon without realizing how much time has passed. It's a fantastic study and work spot: a mix of table sizes, plenty of outlets, and a relatively quiet, calm environment that makes it easy to settle in. It has solid coffee: Drinks here are consistently pretty good. I usually go for their Campfire Latte (a signature for a reason) or whatever seasonal syrup they're featuring, and their matcha latte is reliable too. It has actual, warm food: simple but satisfying sandwiches with enough variety to make for a perfect study snack or light lunch. I am often disappointed when coffee shops only offer cold pastries. It has entertainment: I love taking a quick study break to browse the shop's outdoor gear and clothing; it honestly feels a little like being transported to the West Coast for a moment (give me some Oregan vibes!). Service has always been quick and friendly. I wouldn't say any single thing here is the best in Durham--but together, it is special! There are many days when I find myself craving a few cozy hours at Yonderlust, followed by a quick dessert next door at Rose's.
