If I could give this place 100 stars, I would! From the…read moreoutside, you would never guess what awaits inside. It looks like a small neighborhood spot, but the moment you walk through the doors, you're immediately welcomed by a charming bakery counter filled with fresh pastries, coffee, and sandwiches. Then, as you make your way to the restaurant in the back, the entire experience transforms into something truly special. The ambiance is absolutely stunning--warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. I honestly spent half the meal just taking it all in because every detail was beautiful. Now, let's talk about the food... phenomenal doesn't even begin to describe it. Everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Our brunch came out surprisingly fast without sacrificing quality, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making sure guests had a great experience. You could tell there was pride in both the food and the hospitality. If you're anywhere near Durham, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Whether you're stopping in for coffee and a pastry, grabbing a sandwich, or sitting down for brunch, you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be back, and this has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Five stars isn't enough--this place deserves 100.

I have frequently gone here as it's my favorite place to grab curry mussels. With that being said I…read morecame here today to celebrate my girls birthday and it was one to remember for all the wrong reasons. 3/4 of us ordered the same exact meal and I never received my dish. By the time I was able to waive down the waiter , the table was finished eating and they brought out my meal 25-30 min after the fact. I was hopeful that management would own the mistake, but when my bill came nothing was comped. I had to raise my concern with a waitress and she got a manager. Frankly I am disappointed all around by the experience. "Worse birthday ever" was stated a few times by the birthday girl so idk if I'll be coming back. If I'm going to spend $200 on a meal I at least want to eat.

My daughter got the Tropical Bliss both times and loved it, and my wife tried one of their protein/energy cookies, which was amazing too. The customer service is just as good as the food and smoothies. We came in right before closing, and our cashier, Bri, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She never made us feel rushed at all. I just wish Juicekeys would open a location in Greensboro! We'd definitely be regulars.

We spent the night at a nearby hotel and wanted something on the healthier side for breakfast. I…read morealmost didn't even look at this place, because I figured it was all juice and smoothies, but soon discovered they had great-sounding sandwiches as well. It's a cute little place, with a minimal amount of seating downstairs, but there is more upstairs. I got the turkey ham sandwich with "special sauce". Husband got the roast beef one with chipotle mayo. They were both delicious, although we couldn't tell a difference in the dipping mayos. Love that they are avocado oil based ones, and meats are nitrate-free. Bread is gluten-free. Husband got a cold coffee shake that he really liked as well. It's not inexpensive, but worth it for the quality ingredients. Service did take awhile, but the Gal was super friendly. If you're in a hurry, I would recommend ordering in advance.

Employees seem genuinely happy to interact with you and in many instances, have made awesome suggestions for modifications if an ingredient happens to be out of stock. If the weather is nice, I love eating on the patio to get in a little sunshine and a little people watching. Their rewards program is pretty great--I don't feel that it takes an obnoxiously long time to earn rewards. The app is also super convenient in that you can order ahead and offers curbside pickup (clutch when swinging by during peak times as Ninth St parking can get a little dicey).

Maybe you have to really be into the "bowl" thing to like this place. I got the Bueno Bowl and to…read moreme it just felt like a bunch of mismatched ingredients smooshed together. There was no harmony among the flavors. I ended up only eating about third of it. The workers were very nice.

Acai bowl ("protein bowl" on the nenu) was very fresh and tasty. Service was fine. Staff wasn't super busy but wasn't particularly welcoming. Sandwiches came out quickly but protein bowl, which is pretty much just a fruit bowl, for some reason took forever. Everyone had long since finished their sandwiches when it finally came out. No explanation or apology. We weren't looking for much, but staff probably should have said something, especially since we'd asked if it was coming soon. All in all I wouldn't be disappointed to come back, but there are so many great cafes, coffee shops and restaurants in Durham that I'd go to one of the other ones first.

Street…read moreparking is easy, and there are lots nearby around Brightleaf, making it a quick stop to pick up a sandwich for lunch. It's also a nice place to spend a quiet, sunny weekend morning working or reading outside. Indoor seating is limited, and I can imagine it gets busy during the week when people stop in for a bite. It seems to be good a work space, with the fast wifi and even a printer set up. Service was friendly and fast. Their coffee uses high quality beans, and also offer bags of coffee beans from roasters like Black & White and Couture Culture for purchase. Unfortunately, their matcha (got the seasonal wild strawberry matcha) was very watery and lacked much flavor. Would definitely get coffee drinks in the future!

I thought this one waffle wouldn't be enough for dinner, but I was surprisingly full eating half! Guess they don't call it protein waffle for nothing! Service was nice. Not too many people for a Friday afternoon, but the workers were quick to bring our waffle out. We also got an açaí bowl with Nutella (lol, it's because we have a little one who likes Nutella) and it was also really nice and refreshing for the humid summers out in NC!

It had açaí, pitaya, granola, banana, cacao nibs, and peanut butter in it. I loved the fresh peanut butter taste mixed with chocolate. The only con I felt was that the açaí and pitaya mixture tasted too much like a frozen sherbet flavor. Nautical Bowls is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking.

The yogurt was a large portion and was very good. Coffee was a little strong and bitter, probably designed to have additives rather than being drank black. Pairing with the yogurt made it taste a lot better though. Service was friendly and the prices were reasonable. It was a bit noisy inside, just because there were a lot of customers and everyone was talking. The store is clean and bright with a neat little riser on one side. My only complaint was that there were no refills. That's unusual for black, drip coffee.
