Food always come fresh and fast.....but not sure why today I only got ONE sausage in my bun??? One sausage cut in half? I've still given 5 stars as I'm a becoming a regular and they also send me two free cookies. But I was disappointed with the sausage sarnie as surely it comes with at least TWO sausages? Asked just eat for refund but will continue to use them as their food is so fresh, tasty and fast.

This is one of my favorite places to get coffee in Durham. The service is always friendly, the coffee (iced or hot) is delicious and it's fairly priced. They also have yummy sandwiches, a variety of baked goods and other drinks and yummy treats. Across the street for Next, it's a great place to stop by!
