During a business meeting at Blue Coffee Cafe, I had a slice of pound cake. What a delightful treat! The cake was moist and had a wonderful "from-scratch" flavor. If you like pound cake, definitely try a slice from Blue Coffee Cafe! Keep up the great work Ms. Gwen! -CJP, Durham, NC

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. – Upon a recommendation of my co-workers, we visited the Blue Coffee Cafe today. I placed my order (one hot dog w/ chips and iced tea). Twenty minutes later, I still did not have my order. This is unacceptable. First of all, there were less than half a dozen other patrons in the cafe. Secondly, although, they were pitifully understaffed, the staff there made no effort to hasten in their service. Despite the fact we had to take it back to the office to enjoy it, I can ... read more

Good reviews going to their heads? – The food is great at the Blue Coffee Cafe, but the service is terrible. If you have time to waste, this is a great place to eat, and yes, the owner is a sweetheart. But if you have time constraints, for instance a one hour lunch break, you want to avoid this eatery all together. I have tried even calling in advance to no avail - the wait time is just as absurd as walking in.

My New Favorite Hangout In Durham! – The food, the music, the service, the atmosphere - it doesn't get any better than the Blue Coffee Cafe! The breakfast menu tops anything McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, or Burger King have to offer, the lunchtime selection of sandwiches, hot dogs, and other grilled items is more than satisfying, and the fresh goodies offered all day long (muffins, bagels, cake, etc.) keep you coming back for more. The staff is professional, prompt, and kind - and Gwen Matthews, the owner, is an absolute sweethea... read more

Indy coffee shop caters to downtown suits and urban hipsters. – In Short A large, Ikea-furnished space hosts lunchtime diners, sofa loungers and after-hours social butterflies. On the menu: A full roster of coffee drinks, some Republic of Tea selections and a pared-down lunch menu. Broad Street Coffee provides the beans. Local faves Sweet Jane and Ninth Street Bakery provide the fresh-baked scones, muffins and danishes.

Keep this place open! – It is refreshing to get a great cup of coffee and it not have a "Starbucks" label on the cup. Make sure you stop by and try out this Durham based coffee shop. After a dinner at Joe and Jo's downtown, take a quick walk over and get a cup of coffee and dessert--makes for a great evening and an even better downtown Durham.

My new favorite place – Blue Coffee meets all the criteria for a great cafe -- cool music, good coffee, good croissants, cool staff, comfy couches. But my favorite is that they have an offside corner with a little table and easel where my kid can play & I don't have to chase after her to make sure she doesn't get run over by careless people carrying hot drinks. This is so much more relaxing than going to Fowlers, Fosters, or Mad Hatter.
