Always a pleasure. It’s great to have local businesses who show their flare and personality flawlessly. Definitely a spot to come and enjoy, grab to-go, and they even have online ordering. One of my Durham faves!

Great spot for breakfast or lunch. There is indoor seating and outdoor, so plenty of space to dine in. I got a Chai latte and an "Elvis" bagel. Great flavors for something so simple. I don't normally like bagels but these had a crispy outside and a soft inside, which gave the sandwich great texture. The Chai latte was a giant cup with the tea bag still in the cup, which was different. I found it had a bit too much cinnamon but overall good flavor. Staff was pretty friendly and you can see it in the way they treat their regulars.

Always a good time here. The coffee is good, but not the best in the triangle. Prices are really good though! This is a good spot to meet a friend, take a date, or send some emails. Their pastries are good! Plenty of parking. Bathrooms are just ok, they can be dirty and the doors are hard to close. Very family friendly

I know this is a pretty popular coffee shop in the Durham area but I wasn't a fan of the seating. I went there to do some work and it was pretty dark. I ordered an iced chai and while it tasted good it was mostly milk. The staff is very friendly though!

The coffee here is always great. The prices are really reasonable for a coffee shop too. I don't come very often though because how long the wait for coffee can be. But if I have free time or I see it's slow, I love to stop in. Today I got their chocolate iced cold brew 😍

I met an industry colleague here for the first time yesterday and loved it so much I stopped by in between appointments today! I'm vegan and I love coffee shops and I love it when they have fresh baked vegan options. I had the pumpkin muffin yesterday and I had the donut muffin today and they were both delicious. I was turned on by something called a tcloud which is Earl Gray tea with vanilla and your choice of milk. I recommend soy milk.

I really like this coffee shop! I've lived nearby for ages but wasn't drawn to it because of the strip mall vibe. I finally checked it out and realized I was missing out. It's a great place to hang out and work. I study and work from here with my laptop and I never feel like I need to keep ordering stuff or leave. I also like the bagels. The coffee drinks are not anything special but perfectly fine. Pros: -Spacious - three rooms of seating. One room tends to be noisier and one quieter. There is also outdoor seating. -Good wifi -Good food options. Not an extensive menu but I appreciate they have more than just a couple pastries. Bagels are solid. -Multiple bathrooms -Real mugs! -Bike racks Cons: -Can be really noisy and hard to work at times (this is only a con if you are trying to work. This tends to be more on Fridays and the weekends so fair enough!) -There seems to be something lacking in their order system. I've had my drink messed up more than once, which only really matters because I am lactose intolerant and have been given a latte of cow's milk rather than oat milk. -The food takes a while. Probably a staffing issue, like everywhere. I've had my food order apparently simply go into the great beyond and never get come out of the kitchen until I've inquired, though, too. -Apparently no "to stay" option for food - it is always served in a wasteful "to go" box. -Bathrooms can definitely be on the grimey side All and all, a solid coffee shop and I am more than content with the few cons to have a laid back place in my neighborhood where I can hang with my laptop in my workout clothes without any pressure to order more than a coffee and bagel.

Love this coffee shop in south Durham! Great location, staff is friendly, their cold brew is incredible, their treats and food are tasty, and a great place to study or work! I love their seasonal drinks and cold brews. Their bacon and herb quiche is delicious! Their outside sitting is great! They also sell beans, which I buy occasionally! Always recommend it!

My wife and I stopped by here to grab some lattes and boy were they good! The place Is interesting and busy with lots of seating scattered throughout, and most of the seats taken, so you gotta be aggressive, and kind of course. So initially, we sat outside until some were available inside. The lattes were great though. We're not sure why some places don't do hazelnut 🤔, but my wife enjoyed her Vanilla Latte. I really enjoyed my Oat Chai Tea Latte. It was smooth and the mugs make it worth it.

Great place for a midday pickup. Good brew coffee and LOVE the The Fav Bagel with a tomato!

Best coffee in north Carolina hands down. Everything here has been absolutely delicious. From your standard cup of Jo to the unique flavors of cold brew, you won't be dissatisfied with whatever they pour!

Updated Review: This is now my favorite spot on the planet (now 5 stars). I love their coffee and I love the staff. It's a trademark small coffee spot with staff who learn their customers names and orders. They have a consistent and yet changing menu; meaning they usually have quiche, pies, scones, and muffins but the flavors differ. Additionally they'll have some special treats like cinnamon rolls or cookies, so they keep you on your toes with their variety. Lines can still get long, but totally worth it. I just budget time for the greatness! Enjoy- you won't regret it! Previous Review: This is a cool spot, very popular, which can sometimes lead to really long lines/waits (hence the 4 stars), especially a weekend morning. On a recent trip I purchased a bagel with cream cheese and a coffee frosty. Both were good, I would have liked the coffee frosty to have a bit more coffee flavor. Seems like a popular spot for families, people who need a spot to work and many of the exercisers who are accessing the gyms or the tobacco trail.

Absolutely a must!!! My boyfriend and I have become regulars here and we honestly can’t get enough. The staff are all extremely friendly and the baristas are 10/10. Coffee is the best & always done right. Also the pastries are delicious! They have a chocolate mousse pie and a honey walnut scone that are insanely good. Can’t recommend it enough :)

Coffee is great! We got a chocolate caramel pie, too sweet to me😅but tasted good. Nice place for study, work, and talk with friends.

In the area at 7am on a Sunday and stumbled across Bean Traders. Cortado was tasty. Probably the best GF Waffle I’ve had in years.

Great employees and great ownership. I always love to support a business that I share values with, but I usually enjoy my coffee more elsewhere. That being said, Bean Traders does have incredible pastries and bagels. My personal favorite is the one with jalapeno cream cheese and cucumber slices, but they're all very good. The inside also has plenty of outlets and is a nice atmosphere to get some work done, although sitting right under the speakers can be distracting.

Bean Traders is a community coffee shop in South Durham. They have a variety of coffee drinks, scones, muffins, bagels, waffles, quiche, pies and MORE! I had a blueberry pancake muffin, yogurt bowl and iced vanilla latte while I worked there. Everything was fresh and delicious. It is a great place to work, meet with friend or colleague. It has casual indoor/outdoor seating. It is a VERY spacious cafe with many seating options. I highly recommend checking out Bean Traders and getting a bakery item and coffee drink!

Cute cafe with ample seating area. I had the chocolate habanero coffee which was good but more like a hot chocolate as it didn't give me a kick. I also had a buttered beignet muffin which was yummy. Would love to try their lattes the next time.

I love to support local businesses when possible and Bean Traders makes that super easy to do since their coffee is so amazing! I tend to order online (when they aren’t super busy) and I’m always greeted with a “Hello” when I go in to pick up my order. The pastries they offer are also really tasty. If you order something online and they don’t have it for you when you go to pick up your order, they will let you pick something else or or offer to give you a refund. Great atmosphere and great customer service to go along with some of the best coffee I’ve ever had.

Support your local coffee roasters! Bought a 5# bag of their "Panama" naturally processed light roast (included pour-over cone to show scale). Very knowledgeable about their products, stop on by if near Southpoint!

Coffee is great, but service is extremely slow. We waited at least 30 minutes for 2 fresh presses and 2 1lbs bags of coffee. Even though the coffee is great, I would not recommend if you have anything else to do for that day! Will not repeat visit
