People's Coffee

On a mission to find the best matcha latte in the triangle and I can confidently say it is NOT here. It was too milk-heavy imo and the matcha was barely noticeable. When I got it, the milk was sitting at the bottom and not mixed fully. I loved the environment, there was plenty of open indoor seating on a Sunday morning. There's also a huge patio with ample space and seating for days with nice weather and sunshine. They have a lot of food options including toast, waffles, and açaí bowls which looked good but I didn't get to try. Service was friendly and fast. I would come back to try a different drink.

Place looks peaceful when you arrive there. There is an outdoor patio to hang out and pet friendly, too. I just don't get why the fake grass, though, but my guess is that it looks like a park type cafe. Inside the place felt like a coffee joint similar to Starbucks. The good thing is that they have a variety of coffee, tea, and smoothies. If you want lighter breakfasts, they have limited amount from muffins, waffles from smashed waffles, scones, acai bowls, and burritos and plenty of breakfast sandwiches that I couldn't think of. The only three items that I ordered were the following:The Avocado toast - which has crumble queso fresco, boiled egg cut in sliced, avocado cut in slices, and snickledoodle toast. When I ate that, it was light food. Flavorwise, it needed lime and a bit more salt. Overall, I liked it. It made me fuel up for the day. Berry hibiscus tea - berry flavored and no sugar like I wanted. It was really refreshing Blueberry muffin- which was really good using blueberry fruit in it. They will do it if you like the muffin warmed or not. I will get some more next time. So far, I will come back for the Southwest toast and try it. It's a great place to have a chat with friends and family.

What a cute coffee shop!! I finally live on this side of Durham where I'm close to more stuff like People's coffee! It was mt first time visiting but I've heard a lot about it from my friends because they serve Smashed Waffles here and in college Smashed Waffles used to be my favorite place until they closed down on Hillsborough st at NC State. The outside was decorated very cute, like a lawn. It's a very nice place to sit outside and enjoy the weather. The inside is small so I'd suggest getting there early if you wanted somewhere to sit. They have barstools as well. I waited a while because there was only one person working. I had the Masala Chai Latte, and it was really good! I'd probably visit again.

Coffee and staff here are absolutely great. They will work with you and they will produce a good cup of coffee. The location is good and though the inside is small they have a nice outdoor seating area that is partially shared with the adjacent restaurant. I have knocked down a start though because in all of my coffee trips here (I live within a short walking distance). The food has had a hard time keeping in line with the quality of the coffee. I believe it to be primarily a case of them simply not selling enough of it to have everything ready prepped and fresh. However there are a few options next door if you are really in the mood for something to eat.

I really loved my iced chai that I got here. I got an iced chai with oat milk and vanilla and honey and the brand of chai that they used had a nice spice that wasn't too sweet. The barista that helped me was also very nice answering the questions I had about their seasonal flavors.

Walked in, no greeting. Music blaring. The girl at the register was on the phone and completely confused so she had to get another employee to take the phone and still didn't greet me. I ordered. Insanely expensive. Over $16 for avocado toast and plain coffee and THEN she spins the iPad around for a TIP. AT THE COUNTER WHERE SHE DIDNT EVEN GREET ME. At this point, I'm so frustrated I can't see straight and should've left but I was hungry so I stayed and I tried to pay with CASH which apparently is a no-no and she said they ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE IT!! Never, will I ever return to this place.OH!!! And the menu said all breakfast items are served with fresh fruit and they gave me a salad for BREAKFAST!!!

My partner and I came on a Saturday afternoon for a quick pick me up. I've heard lots about their smashed waffles and knew I had to try!The interior was very cute and cozy - I could easily see myself coming here to study. We ordered the OG waffle and the quilted pig waffle - both were delicious but the quilted pig was my favorite. They waffles were pretty small though. I got the sweet cream cold brew with oat milk and thought it tasted a bit diluted, but was good nonetheless. Overall, we had a good experience and will be back next time we're in the area!

Cappuccino came out quickly and, even though there is no "real cup" option, it was well made and stayed warm while I was drinking it. The smashed waffle sandwich came out minutes later. I ordered the BFF, which is scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheddar cheese. The sweetness of the waffle mixed perfectly with the smoky, salty bacon and the eggs. I would have preferred the waffle a little more done (it was kinda doughy and chewy), but it held the fillings together well enough to deliver it to my mouth, so I was happy. The interior is very minimal. There are a few very narrow tables and a few seats at the bar (which is crowded with pastries and other things), but wide enough for a laptop and your food/drink. I thought the hall to the restroom led to a larger space in the back, but it actually just connects to the back room of Town Hall Burgers, which shares the building's set of public restrooms. Efficient. And single-user, so gender-neutral. All in all a decent place for all day breakfast and good coffee.

Little coffee shop that has a nice patio seating in front. It's connected to the business next door in the back (Town Hall Burger & Beer Durham) which it shares a bathroom with.I'm not a big coffee fan so I was here for the smash waffles. They are incredible and worth the visit!I got the savory variety with bacon egg and cheese and I would absolutely return. The cookies and cream was tasty too.

Hands down the best avocado toast I've ever had. And I've had a lot of them. And their waffle treats are extra special too. It's important to note the fantastic outdoor space in front of the restaurant for warm months. Brought my dog here and had a lovely breakfast!!
