The Freedom Cafe Of Durham

Good Japanese gyokuro green tea. One of the very few places where staff actually knows how to steep tea! Modest tea selection, but good quality. Plenty of seating in a comfortable hidden campus cafe sort of atmosphere.

Do you like coffee, tea, milkshakes, chocolate, lattes, and more? The Freedom Cafe offers ethically sourced quality beverages at a reasonable price all supporting ending human trafficking. The volunteers and staff are super friendly and helpful. Every Wednesday there is an open mic night that anyone can participate in; they are a perfect time to hang out with friends and having some drinks. Support a great cause and feel good doing it!

Volunteer based, verified fare trade sourced, working on recommended donations, great coffee, teas and kombucha, great music and vibe, and all proceeds go toward putting an end to human trafficking.

The world needs more cafes like this! Great location in downtown Durham, the cafe is incredibly warm and welcoming. There are also some comfy, well spaced outdoor seats if you want to get some fresh air. The service is on another level just top notch. Coffee is fantastic. I also love this place because it doesn 't feel as corporate and plastic as the chain cafes like Dunkin or Starbucks.

Absolutely lovely. Small and cozy, just off of the oval one of those places introverts would retreat to on the regular as it?s normally quiet enough (tho does get busy and lively at times but passes the vibe check, esp. with the recent opening of open mics on Wednesdays). Best lattes in town, imo. They provide alternative milks for those who are vegan. I highly recommend trying their crepes, particularly the caprese salad crepe I was skeptical at first but all theingredients have been continuously so, so fresh that it makes your taste buds come alive with the balsamic glaze. The crepes are better than anything in Portsmouth. Would love to see them open further into the day so I can visit moreoutside of work. Plus, they support really important causes with their proceeds and are staple activists. ?
