Great place to enjoy a cocktail and/or dessert! It's a one stop shop for a couple where one person is craving a drink and the other something sweet. The seasonal coconut creme brulee was delicious!

We had a nice lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t very busy so we got our food quickly. The server was friendly and the atmosphere was cute. They have a quite a few vegan options! (Sandwich, salad, and appetizers)

Super cute place and everything was delicious!! Carrot cake was one of the best I’ve ever had and the fresh basil in the soup was so tasty!

Wow really pretty and delicious cocktail! The sandwich was good but I thought it could be warm. i also really liked the cheesecake. The flatbread was decent ( but as my friend said, no protein.) overall a really good place to grab a drink with some snacks big big really a restaurant.

Cocktail hour was delightful! Spacious with very comfortable seating our waiter was gracious and timely. We choose the cucumber pesto caprisi salad and the olive nuts combo to snack on. Both excellent choices!! My glass of vino at the happy hour prices hit the spot. Thank you to Aperitif for a wonderful experience in Durham as I am from NY.

So, I checked out Aboutaperitif in Durham, NC, with my sis and aunt. The cocktails were seriously good, and we dug into this awesome charcuterie board. The place had a cool vibe, not too fancy, just right. The service was spot-on, making it a chill night out. My sis and aunt totally loved it, so if you're up for a laid-back good time, Aboutaperitif is the spot!
