Whisk and Rye Bakehouse

Their coffee is always on point. The small shop is cozy and inviting and the vendors they feature always have me buying something more than just their coffee and pastries.

I drove across town for their reputation just for them to be closed during their normal working hours.

TLDR: Great place for a coffee and large croissant.If you are craving an extra large croissant this is the place to go. I stopped here for caffeine and a snack while in Durham. They are located in a small plaza with ample parking right out front. Baked goods are displayed at the front counter. Order and pick-up is on the left side of the counter. After ordering, I received the croissants right away and the earl grey tea a few minutes later. Since it was warm out, I ordered a hot tea with a side of ice. I was informed that the tea was only steeped for about a minute. After leaving, I continued to let it steep. Even after steeping, the tea was very weak and cool (I didn't even need the ice). I think the water was not hot enough to properly steep. The croissants were delicious. Very flaky and satisfying. The chocolate croissant had a good balance of pastry to filling ratio. Overall good experience, I would not recommend the tea, but I do recommend the croissants!

This basketry/coffee shop offers a variety of croissant and seasonal latte! Service was very friendly and extremely fast. Has limited indoor seating but quite a few well shaded porch seatings. Quiet and clean. Would be a great place to do work and spend the morning!

We did not have a good customer service experience when we entered the store. The young man at the register was extremely dry and unfriendly. He and his female coworker were snickering and whispering to one another when we entered and while we were ordering. There was a lot of side eyeing each other and condescending facial expressions going on. Don't think we'll be back but I'm glad others have had better experiences. My husband was very upset, but we had already spent the money. Also, the coffee was just okay. Not what my husband asked for.***Replying to owner.

was here for their corn croissant. it is gigantic but flavorful.I think the corn flavor is very unique where I havent got exposed to this savory type of croissant. I like it.

Grabbed a cup of coffee and pastry here recently, and thought it was pretty good! The hours have always made it a little tricky to get here, but if you go on a weekend you should be ok. The muffins are really good!Make sure if you're getting coffee or hot cocoa to ask for the temperature to be a little less hot. When I got my coffee it was so hot that it burned my hand, but I think if you ask for warm you'll be ok.

There's just something about great coffee and bake shops where the best ones have obscure hours. Only open 3 days a week I am always trying to do at least once every week or two when the hours align!Very delicious ! I've never had agave in my coffee; but they do it here and it really works! Their pastries are very good as well. I had an apple tart last time I was there.

First time, and won't be the last! I look forward to sitting outside when the weather permits. It is tucked away in a mini business area. Outdoor seating overlooks a parking lot but it is small and quiet considering it is off a main road. Didn't see obvious signs so is easy to miss, unless you look for that outdoor seating. Only had the croissant - it is extra large! Flaky, great color, just enough butter, fresh. (Staff said they sell if it is just a day old - so you might ask if you care.)Small tables and a private nook. Nice for individual and groups of 2-3.

My husband and my favorite coffee shop in North Carolina. And we go out for coffee quite a bit!The vibes are just so fun here. If I have an in-person meeting, I often ask my meeting mate to join me here so I can introduce them to the lovely atmosphere. We sit either indoors (they have a really nice space, and if you can get the little ante room facing the road, it's super fun!) or we sit outside on the large patio area which is adorned with lots of lovely plants (courtesy of the plant shop next door!)It's a small business and the owners are always coming up with fun latte flavors. My husband loved the vegan eggnog latte. I love that they don't blink if I ask them to make my latte a specific way (I asked recently for less sugar from the syrup and the cool barista said "half sweet, no problem!")I'm not sure if we like the perfectly made lattes more, or the vegan pastries (it might be a tie?) They have killer vegan croissants.
