👍👍 A hidden gem of a place tucked away in an industrial feeling row of shops. To park out back go down E Edgewood Dr next to the tire shop then take a left down a little alley between the tire place and the next building on that street. The alley turns to gravel where there’s a little lot. You will see...

The Freedom Cafe of Durham
Non-profit organization
👍👍 This is the only coffee shop I've found in a roughly 15 mile radius around here that consistently makes a quite good latte. (Most of the competition around here burns their lattes...). These guys also have some really good crepes and a huge tea selection - plus you're supporting a good cause!

👍👍 I love this place. I do not drink alcohol so it is nice to go to a bar and get drinks that are nonalcoholic. Don’t be afraid to give kava a try. It is a mild flavored root that helps you feel relaxed. They have many cocktails made with various ingredients to create yummy combinations. They have a su...

👍👍 I came here on a visit from NYC with some local friends to enjoy lattes in the park down the street. I ordered a cinnamon oat latte of some sort, which isn't listed on their online menu. Bur I believe it was a special holiday flavor. It tasted very "fall-y" and the oat milk accented the other flavor...
