Duke students and Durham residents alike hype up Monuts, and it always lives up. Monuts is the place to go for unique and delicious sandwiches on amazing bread, gourmet pastries and donuts, and even great seasonal coffees. I’ve been here countless times and have never had anything I didn’t love! I will say it unfortunately doesn’t have quite as many vegan options as I would hope, so I found myself going much less often when I became vegan. However, the avocado toast & maple sriracha potatoes with an oat milk latte are go-tos for a breakfast or brunch with my non-vegan friends. Their vegan cookie is yummy as well and their rotating soups are occasionally vegan. If they added 1-2 more vegan menu items, like a seasonal sandwich offering, it would be an easy 5 stars from me! ⭐️

Monuts is a Durham staple with delicious donuts and pastries, well made coffees, and teas, and a savory spread to meet any craving! We got a variety of donuts, two bagel, breakfast sandwiches, and some lattes. Everything was delicious.
Sometimes the parking can be challenging, and the biggest downside would be that it’s very challenging to get a hot donut! But if you can… Yum!

Delightful restaurant with walkup ordering; the fresh made bagels are delicious, and they have exceptional pastries. If dining in, you'll be competing with takeout orders.

My mom and I went here for brunch on Thursday rainy morning. It wasn't packed. Their sandwiches were SO good. We got the Just peachy one and the Turkey Bacon Avocado one. Both were phenomenal.

We got a macchiato and a mocha latte. Both for ~$10. The taste is on the more sour side. I personally prefer a more mild taste. Overall still pretty good. The other breakfast items look very enticing. We went on a Saturday morning and definitely already had a full house. Vibe is chill. Nice place to spend a morning!

This place might be my new favorite breakfast spot! My husband and I decided to try this place and loved everything about it! Everything is made fresh and the taste proves it! We loved their story about paying their employees a living wage. We tried a variety of things today and can’t wait to go back! The quiche was so delicious, definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. We tried many different pastries and enjoyed all of the flavors! My mocha topped it all off. The atmosphere is great and the customer service is too! We can’t wait to come back and bring friends.

We had a vegetarian burrito, quiche & soup. They were all very satisfyingly yum. The cinnamon roll & scone brightened our souls on a cloudy, drizzly day. For some reason the flavors remind me of European cooking. Fresh flavors, nicely crafted. We left happy & satisfied.

I love the consistency from Monuts coffees to go, and I had yet to dine in. I joined my friend for an early morning breakfast and brought my service dog aura. I was delighted that there were a few vegan items on the menu, but hope they consider adding more.

I loveeee monuts. Their food is so good. It’s a dangerous place though because it’s hard to go and escape without a sweet treat. Donuts, pastries, cinnamon rolls, you name it! It’s just such a cute little place for a weekend brunch or to stop in and grab a snack. Their fried chicken and pickle sandwich slaps!!

The food was so good! I had a seasonal sandwich with unique ingredients on it. We also had two donuts. Everything was fantastic. Would recommend going out of your way. The line is worth it!
