Joe Van Gogh

Atmosphere: Joe Van Gogh is a staple coffee establishment in Durham. This location has a few tables and a bright loft area. If you can snag a spot, this is a great place to get some work done. Service: The baristas were friendly, and we received our drinks quickly.Food: We tried the Honey Almond Latte, Vanilla Latte, and London Fog Scone. The almond flavor in the Honey Almond Latte is very strong, so we'd recommend it if you're an almond fan! The Vanilla Latte was solid and wasn't too sweet. The London Fog Scone stole the show for us though -- its pronounced tea flavor offered a uniquely delightful experience! Overall: Joe Van Gogh is a well-loved coffee spot in Durham. While this may not be our first choice for a study session or a long coffee date (due to limited seating), their drinks haven't disappointed us!

My second time here went better than the first! I appreciate that they don't charge extra for non-dairy milks, because most coffee shops do. This made the drinks much more affordable and I enjoyed the latte that I got.

Awesome coffee, great service, great vibes. This place was open early which was great, and the orange blossom latte was delicious. There wasn't as much orange blossom flavor in it as I would have hoped, but even still the coffee itself was delicious and clearly high quality.

Although I'm not a coffee (or tea) drinker, I find myself taking frequently trips here. Conveniently placed near Ninth Street, I love the food they serve. In particular, I love ordering a savory tart and buying something from the small box of day old pastries they have and saving it for later. A day old savory tart isn't quite as good as the same day, since it gets more soggy, but I enjoy it nonetheless. On occasion, I'll enjoy an iced latte and be over caffeinated for the next few hours because I forgot to ask decaf, but their coffee tastes great in my non-coffee drinking opinion!

Ordered black sesame ginger latte - amazing! Quick service. Looks like they have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating.

I really enjoy their coffee and have been coming there for years...but their staff is rude and condescending. I want to support local coffee shops, but I just can't support a place that is going to be straight up mean each time. There are kinder local coffee shops to support nearby.

Joe Van Gogh impressed me from when I walked in to the product and well afterward! Highly recommended! Details below.I was visiting from out-of-town and stopped by. The cortado was excellent! Staff and vibe were awesome--friendly and low-key. Also had drip coffee (Red River) which was a tasty hand-crafted medium-dark roast. The London Fog scone was very good +++, with a well-balanced lavender note, and a short crumb (I'm super-picky about scones, and I'd get it again, but an "excellent" scone would rock my world).Also bought some beans and got a quick online response to a question about fine-tuning my French press method for that blend. Keep doing what you're doing!

The best lattes I've ever had. Full disclosure, I am not a coffee connoisseur. However, I do know the difference between a stellar and awful latte. I decided to try this cafe after discovering how good there whole beans are while shopping at Weaver St Market. I also needed a place to work. I started with the breakfast burrito, which was pretty good, and the 12 oz latte with 2% and sugar free caramel. Wow!! Later that afternoon I tried one of their scones and another latte with cinnamon/maple sugar. It was the perfect combination and the latte was just as good as the first. I thought it might be the same barista as in the morning, but there was a shift change. So it must be the beans used? Also, the latte art was a nice touch. I definitely will be coming back for more!!

Best coffee in town!!!! And what a sweet staff omg!! Will be returning. I got the ice vanilla latte... delish.

Very good coffee and pastries!!! I had a latte and it tasted great. Highly recommend the London fog scone too!!!
