Cocoa Cinnamon

I rarely give 5 stars BUT it all worked here! The staff, coffee, churros & ambiance were outstanding!The place makes you feel like you are in Mexico! Lots of seating available.Staff is fantastic! Cortado was perfect and the Frida latte was really good! The churros are the best part! You can watch someone make them and they have filled or unfilled with dipping sauces. We opted unfilled with cajeta and it was perfect!Definitely stop by for a coffee and churros if you're around!

Coffee was fresh made to order. I would suggest the mocha with just a dash of cayenne pepper. Seating area was full of people just enjoying coffee and a bit of conversation. Might I suggest getting made to order churros, fresh hot and delicious.

Classic Durham coffee shop and study spot! I got the Ashkal Halwa: Sweet Shapes (or Rosswater Bliss Latte); while it was tasty and I appreciated the ground pistachios, I was a bit disappointed as I could barely make out the rose water flavor. Had to get some churros of course. These were lovely snacks, fresh, crunchy on the outside, and pillowy on the inside with the perfect amount of sweetness. I could really appreciate the Cinnamon and Cardamom flavors, but can't say the same about the seasonal Orange flavor. Service was fast. Ambiance is good, there is a ton of space. However, on the weekends, it is bustling so expect lots of noise. Also, there aren't a ton of outlets. 7/10 would recommend! Will definitely come back to try other coffee options.

A cute place to meet friends or get work done. The tables are long so you sit community style but when I went, it was a good mix of people trying to get work done and some who came to socialize. The mugs that the hot cocoa came in were so cute! There were so many hot chocolate flavors to choose from. I got the classic dark chocolate. It was delicious! Perfect combination of dark, creamy chocolate that wasn't too sweet. The churro went perfectly with the hot chocolate. I would recommend the set of 4 for $5. The cinnamon sugar dipped in chocolate sauce was by far my fav

Churros made fresh to order. What's not to love?? I also got the sweet shapes latte (rosewater, cane sugar, pistachios) and a hot chocolate. Very good. The vibes of the place are kinda mini warehouse. There are many large tables for communal seating. A good place to hang out or work on a laptop. I definitely plan to return and try some of the other flavored lattes.

Atmosphere: Cocoa Cinnamon has a welcoming, open-concept atmosphere. It can be a nice place to study, work, or hang out with friends, but sometimes finding a spot during peak hours can be difficult, and it can get loud inside too. Service: The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable! We waited a bit for our order to come out, which was understandable since we came on a busy Saturday afternoon.Food: We ordered the Al Mokha, batch brew coffee, and cinnamon sugar churros. The Al Mokha was rich but not too sweet. The batch brew this time around was fruity and bright, with a little bit of acidity. The churros were light, crispy, and had just the right level of sugar. A nice morning pick-me-up!Overall: Cocoa Cinnamon is known for their great coffee and vibes. This shop has a lot more seating compared to their other locations, but it's definitely more busy too. We'd recommend this spot for a quick chat over coffee and churros with friends.

Love the feel of the space. Nice and open, there's also an outdoor space and lots of seating. The staff is wonderful. The drinks are pretty good, I got the matcha latte and the matcha was pretty strong. The chai latte was also delicious and it overly sweet. The churros though - yummy yummy!

I came to meet a friend for a drink, so I will note I just had an iced chai, no coffee or churros. First of all there were a ton of boxes stacked against the wall when I walked in. Weird, but at least they were organized. I guess if I have to move, I know where to go. Anyway, the chai had a very strong dose of cardamom and it was quite overpowering. Even though I had some vanilla added to it, I still didn't love the drink. They do have free Wi-Fi and a good amount of outdoor seating, which is nice. But I just didn't like my drink, sorry to say.

This place is a gem - it deserves all the accolades it receives! The ambiance is great, the service and staff are very friendly, and the coffee is delicious. Don't forget the churros!(Not all the locations sell the churros, though. If you want the full experience, I recommend you go to the Lakewood location on Chapel Hill Rd., although all three are worth a visit!)

A truly unique spot in Durham! We visited while staying in town for the weekend and loved the artsy ambiance. Coffee is amazing and make sure to try the churros. We got the raspberry ones and they did not disappoint!
