Bean Traders

Was in the area for the Apple Store and dropped by twice in a week. A big store front with lots of seating. Pretty welcoming to people with laptops too! Ordered a hot chocolate coffee first time - it was great! You can taste the drip coffee and the actual chocolate which comes through with more than just sweetness. The chocolate milk was foamy and creamy. There was some chocolate shavings on top as well :) For my second time, ordered the egg salad with crackers and an iced tea latte with chocolate strawberry tea - the crackers are more like pie scraps which are flaky and delicious! egg salad is very creamy as well :))

Lovely chocolate chip cookie with salt. Clearly a Durham favorite. Had the cold brew as well. Pretty busy this morning but the line was moving fast. Line almost to the door and I had my cookie and cold brew in probably only 2 minutes. Props to the staff for running such a clean and efficient location!

This place is do cozy and inviting....with a flare. Coffee is sooo good smooth and rich. GLUTEN-FREE options are wonderful and safe. I have celiac and the is a thing for me....if you know YOU know 😏 😉 😌

Bean Traders is my favorite coffee shop in Durham. The Chocolate Habanero (iced) is amazing. Their desserts are varied and delicious and their breakfast/lunch menu is very tasty as well.

Definitely a great place to have some coffee and relax or work. The vibe here is great, people at the counter and baristas were kind and generous. And it seemed like everybody here was happy lol… I had a yogurt bowl and a cappuccino. Loved the music too…
