    Food: sandwich was flavorful Service: quick and friendly Ambiance: perfect for getting shit done/wifi Kristina is the coolest barista in town and made the smoothest cappuccino that I've ever had. Their food also rocks. Excited to come back and try other options on their menu

    Hummus and bread

    We've actually been here three times in the past few weeks: once when accidentally just stumbling on it when walking around downtown Durham, once when we wanted a drink and bite when our power was out at home, and once for a private event with Offline Raleigh/Durham. All three times we had interesting drinks, good food, and pleasant conversations with the owners, staff and fellow patrons. They offer coffee in the morning, baked goods from various local vendors, light bites and sandwiches, and also bottles and gifts to go. We enjoyed their bread and hummus, turkey melt, and unique selection of beer and cider. One evening, we had their cake and beer pairing (yule log and a stout) and that was wonderful. The vibe is very relaxed and friendly, and there were a few families with young kids. We will be back.

    What an amazing place! When you walk in, you'll be greeted by the most friendly staff, known to man! The open floor plan, and well decorated space is warm and inviting. This is a great place for a cup of coffee in the morning, or a Goat & Fig sandwich for lunch-- which I recommend enjoying with prosciutto. The salty prosciutto was an excellent compliment to the the perfectly paired goat cheese and sweet fig jam. The DRAM sparkling water was so yummy and refreshing. Do try one! Any flavor!

    Fantastic cafe and lunch spot!! I stumbled upon this place after the library was too crowded but I needed somewhere to plug in my laptop and work. I sat at the bar and enjoyed getting a little view of the magic happening behind the counter as I worked. Really reasonably priced food, this whole sandwich and salad with tasty quality ingredients was only $11 and my iced tea not pictured was $3. Would definitely return if I find myself in the area again because they had so many drinks I want to try!

    I have found a new place I love in downtown Durham. Great beer selection and incredibly attentive service. Everyone was so nice.

    Chickpea salad

    Cute place. They have wifi and plenty of electrical outlets. I got the chickpea salad. Service was friendly and quick.

    Hummus/red pepper/feta sandwich, side salad, amazing house-made hummus

You'll use that to pour your drinks. Drinks are priced by the ounce, so feel free to build your own flight! Seating options include high tables, low tables, and a patio.

I had never been or heard of this place, HOWEVER I love the concept! So when you walk in - you are greeted by the cashier. They provide a bracelet and ask how much would you like to put on the bracelet? Once you pay, they load your bracelet with the funds and then you are free to drink! They have beer, cider, and wine - no liquor. They also DO NOT serve any type of food, but there are plenty of restaurants in very close proximity. If I am not mistaken, you are allowed to bring food in...Anyhow, you find the drink you want, scan your bracelet, and then fill you glass! Just that simple. The name and price will be displayed on the screen for whatever drink you decide on. Each drink gives the ounce that will be provided for that drink. Check them out! The employees are really helpful & it's just a all around good time. HAPPY DRINKING!!!

    My friends convinced me to give this place a second chance. I knew I should have said no but they…read morewere so adamant about it and I thought maybe it would be better this time. I was wrong. So wrong. This place is the absolute worst. It's so unfortunate because the place is beautiful and has potential. I've learned my lesson and there will not be a third time. We attempted to sit at a table for 8 but the chairs are oversized and the tables are far too close together. We had to remove two chairs to even attempt to slide across the chairs because you cannot pull them out to sit down. It's extremely difficult and uncomfortable to have to slide all the way out to let people in and out. Not user friendly at all. I wanted to order a beer but just like last time they didn't have any beer I'd ever drink which is saying a lot as I will drink anything that's not an IPA or super yellow. So I ordered the Rosè margarita but the male bartender told me they were out of that drink. Impossible. I could see both rosè and tequila from where I was standing. A female bartender overheard the male bartender lying to me and she said she would make the margarita for me. Hmmmmmmmm. So one honest bartender and one who lies because he only wants to pour beers. Thanks for solidifying that I was right to say I'd never be back to this awful establishment.

    Yum! My boyfriend and I split some dishes at the Federal and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We…read morechose the classic cheeseburger with Swiss cheese and sauce on the side, a cubano, and the fried artichoke salad. Both the cheeseburger and cubano came with hefty servings of French fries fresh out of the fryer. Despite being a little salt heavy, they were flavorful and complimented the sandwiches well. The cubano and burger were both 3/5 for me but I enjoyed both. I'm not a huge meat fan... My boyfriend said they were excellent though! The fried artichoke salad is where I feel like I found my peace. The olives, tomatoes, salad dressing, and all other salad components were awesome. It tasted fresh and the ingredients complimented each other. The fried artichokes were a nice crunch too! I would be back to the Federal for the hot food and good vibes. Service was excellent here as well.

    Pretty meh bar food. Maybe I didn't order the right thing, but when I asked which side I should get…read morewith my chicken sandwich, it was highly recommended that I order their twice-fried Fed Fries over their other fried options, as they are made from scratch, rather than being shipped in frozen in bags. I had high hopes, but there is reason why fries made from fresh potatoes aren't widely offered at restaurants and it's mostly bc they have so much water content and easily come out soggy. And these came out exactly that way - soggy and limp. The chicken sandwich I ordered was a special, limited time offering, and it was also ok. It was advertised as having a slaw on top and that's a strong word for what was served. When I think slaw, I think robust, crunchy veggies with some vinegar bite and while I got a bit of that, it wasn't enough to balance out the fried, savoriness of the breaded chicken patty and bbq sauce. Service was friendly, but I wouldn't say they went above and beyond. I was eating alone at the bar, and I'm usually accustomed to more touch points than I got here, but it wasn't bad. I they checked in more, I may have felt more comfortable bringing up my dissatisfaction with the fries. Beer selection (on tap) was only ok. Definitely a personal preference but I wouldn't say say they had a wide variety of beer styles to select from - at least while I was there. Giving two stars bc I won't come back here on purpose - especially by myself.
