Absolutely loved this coffee shop! It is unique in its aesthetic and I loved all the greenery. It's small inside, but every corner is carefully decorated. They use homemade syrups and that made a big difference. The mocha latte was delightful! Minimal communication with baristas, but overall they were nice. Definitely recommend this coffee shop if you're in the Durham area. read more

Cloche coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Small coffee shop tucked inside an office building with very limited seating. The space has a bit of greenery, which I liked, but service was cold and inattentive from both baristas. Ordered the Vietnamese-inspired coffee and it was a miss--watery, overly sweet, and undrinkable. I ended up throwing it out. Rough start to the morning. read more

What a cute place! The inside has so much seating and is very planty. I loved all of the bright lighting and seating options. The menu is very good, with options of seasonal and regular coffee and tea. I got a decaf seasonal latte which was so yummy. They also have outdoor seating and a baked goods section for those who would like some! read more

What a lovely cafe tucked away on Broad Street. I got a ham and Swiss panini and an iced latte. The latte was bitter at first, but much better as the ice started melting. The food is really good! So is the coffee and atmosphere. They had some lofi music in the background. One of the coffee machines is quite loud, but otherwise I have no complaints. Would definitely come back in the future if possible! Service was good and fast too! read more

Amazingly decorated space! The various greenery and the walk collage was fantastic and inspiring, we got an Americano and brown sugar latte alongside a chocolate chip banana bread. Only draw back was a sign posted that asked visits be limited to 1 hour (otherwise 5 stars). read more

Haven't been to Cloche in forever and really glad I got to try it again! They have a lot of cool syrup flavors; I ended up getting an iced maple brown sugar latte, which was delicious & had the perfect amount of sweetness. In the past, I've gotten their liege waffles, which are so tasty. Seating inside is pretty limited, but they have a lot of outdoor seating which is nice weather-permitting. Super aesthetic ambiance; friendly & fast service. They have a small parking lot at the back of the shop, but you may have to street park or park at the nearby grocery store and walk over. 9/10 would recommend! read more

A cute little coffee shop, Cloche coffee is a plant filled cafe serving coffee and teas. They have a few tables indoors and outdoors optimal for studying/working. They aren't great for big groups though. I came on a Saturday afternoon and they were quite busy, but the baristas were extremely friendly and patient with each customer. I opted for their matcha with oatmilk, and it was great! It had a strong matcha flavor without being too bitter, and it wasn't too milky either. Cloche is easy to miss, but worth the stop in Durham! read more

Lots of seating outside! Love the arrangements of seats and would recommend as a study spot. The drink menu is small, but it has the usuals compared to other coffee shops. There is parking behind the store where you can park along the curb. Recommend checking out this place! read more

Really cute little spot next to Duke's East campus :) came here with a friend and walked in, the ambiance is incredible, really feels smoothing and calm. They have a lot of greenery as plants, really nice decor, and it feels like a peaceful space to be. They also have a nice outdoor area too! Their tables are a tad wobbly outside though- don't be like me and set my cup for tea down, accidentally bump it, and spill some tea They have a great selection of drinks and are really affordable! Also have some nice snacks in the form of pastries, I will have to try their waffles at some point too cause they sounded delicious. Service is great, very friendly and have a great smile on their face, and pretty quick to get your things out! Come check it out some time. read more

I stopped by Cloche for a quick meetup while I was in the area. The place is super cute. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and found the dining area to be clean and the staff to be pleasant. Only one person was working that day, so there was no greeting when we entered due to the line. This seems to be the norm there. However, when we approached to order, the staff were pleasant, welcoming, and did a great job with the tea. I tried the iced passionfruit jasmine tea, which had great flavor and quality in every sip. It was refreshing and tasty, perfect for a very hot evening. read more

Excellent service and cappuccinos. A bit of an odd location but worth the walk. Also very clean restrooms.

There's a lot of nice spaces to sit here. They have an outdoor patio, inside seating, and a little table in the hallway. I got the chai latte with almond milk and it was great! Really strong chai spices. I added a bit of sugar but it was already sweet on its own as well. read more

They have some amazing coffee. I appreciate the cozy environment and their music was a vibe. Their service was nothing over the top, but the quality of the coffee makes this an easy 5 star. I got a cardamom and cinnamon cappuccino. read more

Great coffee and matcha, friendly barista, cute decor, but sooo tiny/cramped and too few indoor seats!

Really love this place for its study vibes and liege waffles. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and there are tons of plants inside (some for sale!). It's much cooler on the inside, not sure if that's because of the AC or the darker lighting. The baristas make great coffee drinks, and they also have a nice selection of non-coffee teas too. Definitely one of my go to cafes! read more

My lunch buddy and I stopped by one afternoon for a quick pick-me-up and were pleasantly surprised. It's a cozy spot with well made coffees and teas. I'd definitely stop by again when I'm in the area. read more

Located across the street from Duke University... their east campus location this place definitely is a hole in the wall as seeing it from the street is hard to find given the little sign and the building looks like a generic business building but since I was meeting a friend here I def knew it existed lol Small coffee shop with limited seating inside but outside it's got a little area to relax but the service is great and you will find plenty of students here or course The prices are totally fair and the mocha ice coffee I had was bomb! Definitely recommend hitting this up if ya need a quick drink read more

This is a hidden gem in Durham! Beautiful, cozy, and exceptional customer service (thanks to Jennifer for going above and beyond today). The coffee, pastries, and homemade syrups are delicious. Plus, the beautiful plants create such a peaceful and welcoming vibe. Absolutely love that we discovered this little coffee shop today. We will be back to enjoy the outdoor patio when the weather is cooler. read more

Drinks: I ordered my go-to (vanilla latte with almond milk) and it was sweet and delicious. Service: the waiter was very kind, friendly, and attentive! He greeted customers by name and explained different drink options to me. Environment: very small but cute place. There were lots of plants inside and extra seating outside. Overall a great coffee place, I just wish they had a few more food and drink options! read more

Cute little coffee shop! We arrived around 8:15am on a Thursday and all of the tables were full, we did manage to snag a few stools in the hallway/entryway. It's super tiny inside so there are not many areas to sit. I had a vanilla latte, which was perfect! read more

Employees look miserable working. One has a hoodie on with the hood up, looking like this is the last place they want to be. Not even a smile or welcome in. Got a maple brown sugar latte & banana bread matcha. Matcha was accidentally made as a banana bread latte and when I notified the employee, they just snatched the cup back without a word and made the matcha like I was inconveniencing her. Latte was tasty, matcha was mid. Wouldn't return though due to the service. read more

Great food and amazing space. I Just wish the staff were happier. I asked to have my pastries cut in half and the staff member looked at me as if I asked for it for free read more

Loved this place!!! I ordered an iced caramel latte with almond milk and a croissant, and though the croissant was a bit too crunchy/hard on the bottom, the latte was amazing. We sat outside on the patio under an umbrella while it sprinkled outside. The interior was so calming and beautiful. I can't wait to come back. read more

Went here last weekend on a Saturday to study! I had been here once prior and it hadn't been my usual study spot (hard to study at spots you're not well acquainted with) so I was actually a little hesitant on going. However, I knew there was a nice outdoor area that I hadn't tried so that made me go! I got a ginger chai latte there and I would not go here specifically for the drinks but definitely would come back to enjoy a nice day out near Duke Gardens. Just make sure you spray some bug spray on you if you're sitting outside. read more

Cute little shop within the dance studio there at ADF. Good quality coffee and can adjust the number of shots you'd like (2 or 3) per drink.

Notes: 1) been here twice 2) not a lot of sitting space 3) had plant sales on Friday 4) also sells coffee beans and grounds 5) also showcases paintings 6) should be open now with some policies set for the safety of the customers Pros: 1) lots of interesting new seasonal beverages 2) great for hanging out (+0.5 ) 3) great managers and baristas (+2 ) 4) great drinks (+2 ) Cons: 1) not a lot of space/ seats 2) part of a larger complex so bathrooms are shared 3) not much parking space Total: 4.5/5 My friend really enjoys this coffee shop because of the amazing staff and the great coffee here. The main issue came from the lack of spaces which he would need to complete his work. When the weather was bad, we would come here and hang out. Fortunately for us, there were seats available. The only issue was that there were not many seats available near the outlet sockets; therefore, we were unable to stay for a long time to work. The overall mood was very relaxed and laid back. People were working on their own or were whispering in a small group to avoid causing too much noise. Everything was very calming and relaxing, especially the music and the fresh scent of brewed coffee. The beverage that I had was the chai along with a fresh seasonal coffee. I usually use chai as a means to determine the quality of the place as I always get a chai everywhere. The chai had a hint of sweetness but was not overwhelmingly sweet. The design of the milk was great as well. It looked very well made, and you can see the baristas making it in front of you. The Black Forest mocha was really refreshing. It was not too bitter and made me think like I was walking through a forest while drinking it. The barista also offered me a deal on a smaller cup as I just wanted to try it. The price isn't indicated on the menu but it was great as it allowed me to try the different types of coffees without consuming too much caffeine. I understood why my friend enjoyed this place a lot. The baristas that I met here were all really nice and talkative. They were really helpful in picking beverages and getting to know the local area. I have been to a lot of coffee shops but this one felt warmer and more friendly. The drinks are also pretty good and the layout of the restaurant is nice and open. There may be some seating issues but it's worth it to go and try to hangout here and relax. You could meet so many friendly new people or sit and work while feeling nice and comfy. read more

"OK...ALRIGHT" - Denzel Washington I first heard of "Cloche Coffee" at an event that I attended not long ago. The representatives at the event were all very kind and gave me a sample of their coffee. I finally stopped in today and they sure delivered! I was kindly greeted and helped right away. Loving the energy that they put out! Such a positive vibe! If you're driving by, you can easily miss it so keep and eye out. The ambience is nice and definitely a great place for photos. The space is tiny but can accommodate a good number of people. There's also an outdoor patio with seating. I got the special "honey something?" -- Amazing coffee! Class act customer service! I've found my new go to coffee shop in Durham! Please stay for a long time. I'm willing to walk a mile there to get my coffee. Keep up the great job! read more

Cute coffeeshop but it didn't live up to the hype for me. The rose latte neither tasted like rose or coffee, and the waffle tastes in parts a little undercooked. Once the waffle cooled down I noticed that there was melted sugar in it which may have made the waffle just feel undercooked. It was a good place to study but is low on my list of cafes in the area. read more

Good coffee and nice folks working. Across the street from Duke. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because there's very little room inside. There's a great deck but that demands decent weather. ...still would recommend. read more

Cute space inside! Got an iced matcha with lavendar that tasted great. Limited indoor seating, but was able to get a space - looked like they did have a lot of outdoor seating as well! read more

This is such a cute coffee shop in a beautiful building. All the plants are lovely! It's very bright and quaint. Keep in mind--this is a small place although the ceilings are very high. But there is some outdoor seating and seating in the entryway. The hot chocolate was delicious. read more

Cloche has become my go-to off-campus study spot since coming to Durham. Beyond its super convenient location on Broad St, I've enjoyed trying out the impressive variety of flavors (highly recommend the honey lavender latte, if you're into a floral taste palette!) and getting work done in its lovely, plant-filled ambience. The baked goods are pretty yummy from my experience too. The only reason I wouldn't give Cloche five stars would be that sometimes their iced drinks can taste a bit watered-down (I had a chai once that just tasted like milk with a hint of spice). Still, it's one of my favorite spots around here. Go check it out!! read more

I got a hot chocolate on a freezing day and Durham and it was great. Not expensive, piping hot, and super nice ambiance. The shop itself is pretty small and all the tables/stools were spaced so that everyone would be socially distanced. The barista was super nice when we asked about the menu offerings, and the drinks were out in a few minutes. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by. It's a great pick-me-up for your day. read more

Cloche coffee - Latte and Hot Chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Coffee was watery and espresso was not strong. Cute interior though, especially the plants and antiques behind the espresso counter.

While we've enjoyed our many visits to Cloche Coffee, we feel that over time, the quality of their drinks has gone down. We've tried several of Cloche's drinks, including their lattes and cold brew. Our favorite was their raspberry latte, though they haven't had raspberry syrup at our last several visits. Their cold brew has also been disappointing, with the last couple of times tasting like dirt (in the non-good-coffee way). The matcha powder in our iced matcha latte was hardly dissolved, resulting in chunks of matcha accompanying each sip. We were also unimpressed with their seasonal drinks this time around. In particular, we were excited to try their coffee palmer. The novelty and the idea was there, but the execution was a sour, bitter mess that no amount of dilution could save. Overall, we'll continue to return to Cloche because of their convenient hours and beautiful ambiance, not necessarily for the drinks. read more

This is a cute spot that has great coffee! It's a semi regular spot of mine. It's fairly small but is cute with lots of plants around and wonderful coffee. I've gotten their lattes and iced lattes before but you can't go wrong here. Highly recommend if you live in the area or if you're visiting! read more
