I got the chicken katsu: the chicken and the Togarashi sesame bagel itself were great; I think the sauce could be less sweet and more spicy. The hall seemed busy but my food was ready by the time I finished ordering a drink from another vendor. Very convenient spot with AC, seating, free wifi, and clean bathrooms to fuel up before my hike. If I ever come back to North Carolina, this is definitely on my list to revisit.

I love a place with multiple, vegan bagel sandwich options! I appreciate that they have an entire…read moresandwich designed as vegan (rather than simply a "vegan" version that removes cheese or uses fake meat). I've gotten three of their vegan bagel options, the vegan Kimchi Lox, the Lebanese Spicy Tofu, and the Vegan Bahn Mi. I think that the food isn't exceptional, but it's filling & again, they have some well done vegan options. The Lebanese Spicy Tofu was definitely the best of the three (but a big mess, beware!). The Vegan Bahn Mi (pictured) was good, but maybe a bit underseasoned. The vegan Kimchi Lox is of course also quite messy, but of course doesn't have any protein on it. In our experience, it's best to just order online, and then go pick it up at the time (due to the wait time). We will often get coffee at Liturgy or Foster, and then just walk over when it's time. It's inside Durham Food Hall, which is, unfortunately, always quite loud, but there are tables outside and a park nearby you can sit at if you'd prefer. Overall, one of the better vegan options in the food hall.

This was truly one of the most special coffee shops I have been to! The drinks are crafted for…read morepeople who really appreciate the quality of a good roast - which they do in house. The baristas -- alongside with owner Jason Shearin, who were working throughout this morning's rush -- had an incredibly welcoming and charming disposition and there's nothing I love more than supporting a locally-owned small business that truly takes pride in their craft. I ordered a caramel macchiato (w/extra shot), a rare choice as I'm extremely weary of sweet coffee drinks. But I had confidence this was the kind of place to venture out of my comfort zone and I was not disappointed. The latte was incredibly balanced, full-bodied without a trace of bitterness, and I even noticed that the caffeine buzz was suspiciously smooth. I felt really awake after not sleeping well without an elevated heart rate, which is super notable for me because my adhd medication can make espresso feel like a jagerbomb if I'm not careful. I also had a turkey sausage breakfast wrap which didn't seem to look like much when I first saw it but was genuinely one of the best darn breakfast wraps I've ever had -- when the ingredients are high quality enough, you don't need many additions. Can't wait to return before I head out of town!

Unfortunately, the food just wasn't for us. I got the #12 Frisée Lardon on an everything bagel with the triple cut house smoked bacon, crispy potatoes, runny egg, frisée and Dijon vinaigrette. It sounded SO good, but there was a ton of frisée, and the combination of the greens, vinaigrette, runny egg and really thick fatty bacon made the whole sandwich feel very wet and slippery with burnt potato chips. I'm big on texture, and I just couldn't do it. I also wasn't a fan of the bagel itself. I was hoping for something dense and chewy, and this was much flatter than what I personally like. I understand that's a preference thing and that Benchwarmers has its own style of bagel, but it definitely wasn't what we were looking for. The drinks were decent and the service was great, but overall the food was a miss for us. I can see this being someone else's thing, but unfortunately we probably wouldn't go back.
