I wanted something cold and coffee based, which narrowed this to only 2 options. And yet, out of those two options, the one I wanted to try ("no-grony"), they didn't have all the ingredients available for. Ended up ordering Harvest Mule which was good, but it was $7 before tax and it came in a small size. This was worth $5 tops. I don't think I'll be coming back here.

Along with some coffee lovers who attended the Caffeine Crawl. Cafe Driade was stop 2 on the route. And, it'd definitely worth the drive! We already have plans to return.

This is an interesting place to have coffee at any time with friends and enjoy nature. There's so many places to sit amongst the trees and to relax it's quite enjoyable. They have a pretty decent selection of coffee and they offered some food items as well. I really enjoyed my time here. I just wish they had more comfortable chairs. The metal small chairs are not comfortable so we weren't here as long as we would've liked to have been. I tried something completely new out of my comfort zone, a golden milk latte. This was absolutely delicious and I would get this again. I was able to add honey as my sweetener and really enjoyed this different cup of coffee.

Their drip is a single origin the roast, where they had Ethiopian Sidamo roast when I visited. It had the vharacteristic blueberry note as normal for the region. Way less expensive and much better quality than the big Star chain! The menu offers pour over coffee, which got me really excited. However the barista told me the pour over machine was broke. Machine? Pour over is literally just pouring water over the coffee in a filter. Weird. Apparently not real baristas. The BACON, EGG AND CHEESE BISQUIT was good. The bacon was thick, good quality piece of pork The place is clean, however the ambulance was felt a little like a cafeteria, and not as cozy as some coffee shops. They have many small tables, with some near power outlets for those that plan to plugin and work. The barista seemed depressed. They were definitely not greeting customers with a happy persona. I hope he is ok. Didn't feel welcomed. Overall, I would come back, but I didn't leave being wow'd.

They have sodas and French press coffee, teas and a few baked goods from nearby local places. They serve locally roasted coffee, as well as many herbal chocolates and books. Signs around the eclectic shop read "Kindness Matters" and "Love One Another". One whole corner of the shop is fenced off with a raised area with rugs, pillows, and a faux fireplace. Even on the hot mid-July day, it's an evocative sight. Shorts and sports shirts melded with business casual with laptop bags. My favorite part is folks that look as different as night and day singing along with Bob Marley on various songs. There's a bit of the Rasta in all of us, I guess. This is a great place to get your groove on.

It took me more than a year of coming here to write a review for Yonderlust, mostly because I'm…read moresurprised by how much this place grew on me. Yonderlust is more than just a coffee shop--it's one of those spaces where you can easily spend an entire afternoon without realizing how much time has passed. It's a fantastic study and work spot: a mix of table sizes, plenty of outlets, and a relatively quiet, calm environment that makes it easy to settle in. It has solid coffee: Drinks here are consistently pretty good. I usually go for their Campfire Latte (a signature for a reason) or whatever seasonal syrup they're featuring, and their matcha latte is reliable too. It has actual, warm food: simple but satisfying sandwiches with enough variety to make for a perfect study snack or light lunch. I am often disappointed when coffee shops only offer cold pastries. It has entertainment: I love taking a quick study break to browse the shop's outdoor gear and clothing; it honestly feels a little like being transported to the West Coast for a moment (give me some Oregan vibes!). Service has always been quick and friendly. I wouldn't say any single thing here is the best in Durham--but together, it is special! There are many days when I find myself craving a few cozy hours at Yonderlust, followed by a quick dessert next door at Rose's.

The Deets: I had brunch with some friends that live in Durham and after the meal, they directed me to stop into Yonderlust for a coffee beverage stop instead of having one at the restaurant. We stopped by and ducked into the cafe side...I say cafe side as 2/3 of the space there is an outfitters/apparel shop and the other part houses the coffee shop/cafe. The cafe side (as well as the apparel shop) is very nicely done inside, very appealing and clean. The coffee seating area was packed, it appears to be a great place to stop and sit/work a spell even on a Sunday. Ordering moved through fairly quickly and I put in my request for a hot skim latte to the very nice and positive person at the register. The wait was not long before my beverage was completed, and your beverage/name are both called out to pick up when it's ready. I did manage to find one lone chair to sit and drink my tasty beverage while my friends did some shopping in the apparel side. I enjoyed my latte, I'd most definitely stop in again when in the area.
