Plenty of space, but not a particularly nice space.
Jonathan W.

Stopped in here to do some work in the morning. There are things to like about this place: plenty of space to work, the girl working there was very nice, and the cookies I brought home with me were actually very good (a Black and White, and a Monster cookie). On the other hand: They only serve in to-go cups, no mugs. My mocha was over-sweetened and under-chocolated. The ambiance is somewhere between minimalist and industrial and definitely did not have any of the inviting and cozy vibes I like from a cafe. Basically I was able to get some work done but nothing about my experience there made me want to stay. I would come back if I lived in one of the apartments nearby, but I didn't really like it otherwise.

Quiet and relaxing space to grab breakfast, coffee, or to cowork. Spacious venue indoors and outdoors so you won't feel crowded amongst others. The egg white spinach frittatas and the berry white mocha was delicious. I will definitely return here to work because I was super productive during my visit.

Iced Mayan Mocha

I have passed by this coffee shop many times and I finally decided to try it this morning. The shop was clean and had a good variety of indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered my usual drink - a sugar free vanilla latte with almond milk - and it was good, although it could've been a little sweeter. I also tried the egg white bites and thought they had good flavor. I'll have to come back sometime to try their baked goods!

Iced bull city turtle
Andrea A.

Have I just found my new favorite coffee shop in Durham? Decided to hunker down at Triangle Coffee House to work for a couple of hours and it was a great choice. I got an iced Bull City Turtle (advertised as an indulgent fusion of velvety chocolate, luscious caramel, and roasted hazelnuts), and it was delicious! They also have pastries and some hot breakfast items, which I'll definitely try next time. Fast & friendly service. Great ambiance for studying or hanging out- it's very spacious & there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. And love that there's so much free parking available. 10/10 would recommend!

mayan mocha with almond milk!
Aditi K.

really cute place ! stumbled upon this by accident when just searching for a nearby coffee shop that was open where i could sit and read until meeting a friend for dinner. this checked all the boxes! there's a lot of nice outdoor seating shared with the upstairs brewery, and it looks like it would be a good place to get some work done, too, both inside and outside. i ordered the mayan mocha with almond milk, and it was really good. not too sweet, and the cayenne gave it a real kick, which i enjoyed a lot. great unexpected find!

I met up with a friend on a weekday morning to check out this spot. They have a really fun variety of drink options, it was hard to pick just one - I opted for a hot Golden Latte which was tasty and different! They had several pastry options. I chose the crumb cake which was delicious. There was only one person working and they were taking orders and making the drinks. Thankfully it wasn't very busy so we didn't have to wait very long for our drinks to be made. It was really quiet inside, with most of the customers hanging out and working.

Baked goods
Navdeep S.

Lovely ambience, sweet barista! Ordered the Mayan latte, Turtle mocha, golden latte and for baked goods, god maple walnut scone and egg bites. The lattes are very lightly sweet, you have the option of making it sweeter, I liked that. Scone was delicious, egg bites came out still frozen in the middle, the staff was quick to sort out that problem. Overall a beautiful place to hang out, quiet if you want to study or work. Worth a try for sure.

Love the vibes when you come in- it's a very hang-out friendly, sit-down and talk, can sit around and read with some background noise kind of vibe. They do have I think 1-2 small tables in the back! Really love the staff here, they gave really great recs and are so incredibly personable. I'm not kidding when I say that Bean Flower is constantly on my mind. It was Lunar New Year time around when me and my friend came! They gave us the CUTEST red envelopes with our order with a Bean Flower sticker. Absolutely in love- y'all come get your boba and desserts! We got their Thai tea and assam milk tea this time- I'm definitely coming back for their desserts to try next time too! I wish I had more money to buy all the art they had as well.

Went back with my family and tried a few other things, still an 8.5/10 would recommend (service &…read moreambiance are ofc chef's kiss): - Matcha Milk Tea with Ube Syrup and Boba: Ube was more distinguishable prior to mixing up the drink, but the matcha itself was tasty and that perfect vibrant green. - Viet Chai with Boba: Too strong for me, but my sister liked it! All the spices were interesting though, and the boba was nicely chewy. - Dou Hua (Chinese homemade silken tofu pudding in brown sugar ginger syrup): Not too sweet, clear ginger taste, fun texture.

I have mixed feelings about JVG. I really enjoy their small shops, which are nice spots to work and…read morecatch up on email while having a good coffee or espresso and a sandwich. Overall, the espresso drinks I've had have been consistent. Nothing extraordinary, but good. Their breakfast sandwiches and burritos are quite tasty and are always on my short list for ordering. Between a coffee and a modest burrito, you're looking at $13. (Welcome to 2025, right?) My main issue is their regular coffee. I've tried their cold brew, American over ice, and others, but no matter what I do, I can't get a good cup of coffee that's bold rather than medium or light. I've ordered something I'd enjoy three times, but for some reason, it's never tasted great, and I end up not finishing it. That's a problem when I'm paying $4 per coffee. So, if you prefer dark or bold coffee, I wouldn't recommend this chain or this location. Bean Trader does a better job. Overall, it's a solid shop and seems to be a local favorite, but for those of us craving a very dark brew, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

The entrance was pretty hard to find; it is actually at the back of the building, but if you drive all the way around you should see it. It was very quiet when I came in on a Wednesday morning and I was able to get a lot of work done. I was a little sad that they charged extra for nondairy milk here because they don't at the other location, but I suppose $.25 isn't bad considering other places charge a dollar. Aside from that, no complaints! The baristas were super friendly and my drink was ready in no time.

We've been to Aaktun in Durham multiple times for both breakfast and dinner, and it's honestly become one of our favorite spots. I'm Peruvian and grew up with Peruvian cuisine, so seeing lomo saltado -- a classic Peruvian dish -- on the menu immediately made me happy. Having also grown up in Mexico and lived in places like Miami, I really appreciate what they're doing with the menu: a modern, delicious take on Latin flavors that feels creative without losing what makes those cuisines special. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. You walk in thinking it's a stylish little coffee shop, then head toward the back and the whole place opens up -- gorgeous bar, tropical touches, cozy alcove seating, really cool vibe. One time we went with friends for a special dining experience they were offering, and it was excellent. The food, drinks, and whole experience were made even better by Fernando, the manager, who has always been incredibly warm, helpful, and accommodating. Highly recommend Aaktun for breakfast or dinner. Still haven't made it there for lunch somehow, but at this point we'd be shocked if it wasn't great too. Spanish: TL;DR: Lugar precioso, café y comida excelentes, sabores latinos con un toque moderno muy bien logrado, y Fernando, el gerente, es increíble. Ya hemos ido varias veces a Aaktun en Durham para desayuno y cena, y sinceramente se ha vuelto uno de nuestros lugares favoritos. Soy peruano y crecí con la cocina peruana, así que ver lomo saltado -- un plato clásico peruano -- en el menú me hizo muy feliz. Además, habiendo crecido en México y vivido en lugares como Miami, me encanta reconocer cómo integran sabores latinos con una propuesta moderna y de fusión. Se siente creativa, diferente y sobre todo riquísima. La atmósfera además es espectacular. Entras pensando que es una cafetería bonita y acogedora, pero luego caminas hacia atrás y el lugar se abre por completo: un bar hermoso, detalles tropicales, mesas tipo alcove... una vibra buenísima. Una vez fuimos con unos amigos para una experiencia especial de cena que estaban ofreciendo y la pasamos increíble. La comida, las bebidas y toda la experiencia fueron aún mejores gracias a Fernando, el gerente, que siempre ha sido súper amable, atento y servicial. Recomendamos muchísimo Aaktun para desayuno o cena. Todavía no hemos ido para almorzar, pero honestamente nos sorprendería mucho que no estuviera igual de bueno.

"Part Dos - Mostly great, with a few exceptions"…read more Food temp is major in my book. While many of the food options were hot, several were not, and I believe that impacted the overall dining experience. We ordered classic breakfast and jerk chicken lunch options. For drinks: Cappuccino and Mango Refreshers. The good: (1) Fried rice - which accompanied the jerk chicken (served hot). While simple, the slightly earthy and bitter (in the best way possible) from the braised/steamed baby bok choy perfectly accompanied the earthy mushroom, and complex soy inspired fried rice. So good - this could be a vegan or meat side entree unto itself - IMO. (2) Scrambled Eggs - If you enjoy large curds of gently scrambled eggs - this is for you. While we enjoyed the remaining options for portion size and flavor, we did note that the temperature was cool to mid - which impacted overall flavor. Jerk Chicken: we understand this is a jerk inspired interpretation. With that being said, the most interesting flavor was limited to the crispy skin. Perhaps the chicken was immersed in a salt brine and basted with a jerk flavoring? We loved the white (perhaps mayo based sauce), and accompanied pickled red onion. But baby, the food temp. Yucca fries - if you're unfamiliar - are the baby of a green plantain and white potatoes. While good, they were not hot. Maybe could have benefited from a unique sauce? Food service good. But the biggest miss was the cheese hash browns and Mango Refresher. Hash brown (cheese) room temp, and tough - Mango Refresher - too tart and not worth the cost. As far as ambience: Customers were Hip, sexy, multi ethnic , and included old and young. We loved our waiter. Overall, a little disappointing especially considering we loved our first coffee breakfast visit so much. Not sure if it was an off day or we just prefer other menu options. However, we'd definitely visit again! Brunch/lunch: 4.2

Very cute new coffee shop! They have a small lot and plentiful Brightleaf parking across the street…read more(although you do have to pay for that lot, and they aren't able to validate since they aren't technically part of Brightleaf). I got an iced decaf americano with vanilla, which was delicious and came in a glass since they knew I was sticking around. They have a lot of seating and the whole place feels bright, airy, open and clean. They also have a cute store on the left hand side of the space that sells outdoor clothing, shoes and gear. A welcome addition to the area!

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.
