Flannel, Birkenstocks, mismatched mugs, plates and cutlery ... it's all a part of the charm of this South Durham gem where high-grade, delicious coffee is brewed. Their vibrantly designed indoor seating area is a great place to study or enjoy a house-made treat. Conveniently located near Southpoint, this is the perfect spot to recharge after a shopping spree.

Coffee and food are great. Just had coffee today, an iced latte for my niece and phunky monkey for me which is one of my favorites. I’ve had pastries and bagels on prior visits and it’s all good. Line can be really long sometimes as this is a popular place.

I've been enjoying this place since 2010 when I lived nearby. I now live in the mountains but recently went back to Durham to visit my friend. We went there everyday during my visit. The best coffee and good vibes you'll find in a local coffee shop. The shop has expanded since I used to live there, but the community atmosphere has not changed. Super cool place with excellent friendly staff and fast service. And the prices are FAR less than Starbucks!

Best locally roasted whole beans in the Triangle. Plenty of flavors to choose from and good quality beans. Usually in stock of at least one type that I prefer. Definitely recommend the blueberry cobbler or Carmella.

I haven’t stopped by in years! They did not disappoint. They were able to duplicate my Starbucks coffee order and make it better. Staff was friendly, helpful and very communicative. The aroma when you walk in is *chef’s kiss*. Will definitely be back. I gotta have a pastry on the next trip, so many options.

One of my relatives recommended this place as the best regarding the quality of their coffee. We are both strong coffee fans. I decided to try it and could see that he was right. I have never tried such delicious cortado in my life. I do not know if this is their coffee machine, the quality of coffee beans, or the skills of the personnel, but it was extremely tasty. Also, the people working there are very friendly, and the service is fast.

Extremely pleasant atmosphere. I wish I'd gotten the names of the staff as they were ALL fantastic. Maybe next time, as there WILL be a next time. Latte was 🔥.

Bean Traders provides you with incredible coffee and atmosphere. Dave and his team are down to earth and so friendly. I always looked forward to each seasonal drink the menu provided. This coffee and this environment cannot be replicated. It has been greatly missed since we moved out of state recently.

Bean Traders is a community coffee shop in South Durham. They have a variety of coffee drinks, scones, muffins, bagels, waffles, quiche, pies and MORE! I had a blueberry pancake muffin, yogurt bowl and iced vanilla latte while I worked there. Everything was fresh and delicious. It is a great place to work, meet with friend or colleague. It has casual indoor/outdoor seating. It is a VERY spacious cafe with many seating options. I highly recommend checking out Bean Traders and getting a bakery item and coffee drink!
