Absolutely love this place, pulled over and took a gamble.

Will be coming by again, highly recommend! -Vanilla latte with oat milk ✅ -“TheFave” bagel ✅
This is one of the best waffles I’ve had in a while. I don’t like overly crunchy waffles and the ones here have the perfect amount of crunch and softness. I also got the iced Carmella and it was so sweet but still had that good coffee taste. The staff are all amazing. Very sweet and attentive and clearly has …
Lovely chocolate chip cookie with salt. Clearly a Durham favorite. Had the cold brew as well. Pretty busy this morning but the line was moving fast. Line almost to the door and I had my cookie and cold brew in probably only 2 minutes. Props to the staff for running such a clean and efficient location!
This place is do cozy and inviting....with a flare. Coffee is sooo good smooth and rich. GLUTEN-FREE options are wonderful and safe. I have celiac and the is a thing for me....if you know YOU know 😏 😉 😌
Definitely a great place to have some coffee and relax or work. The vibe here is great, people at the counter and baristas were kind and generous. And it seemed like everybody here was happy lol… I had a yogurt bowl and a cappuccino. Loved the music too…
This is our favorite coffee place since we discovered it 15 years ago! Why would you ever get SBX (yuck) when you have this option!?!? The coffee is THE BEST, the atmosphere is chill (and family and dog friendly), and the service can’t be beat. Get you some Bean Traders!!! You won’t regret it.
I need an “I <3 Bean Traders” shirt. This place ROCKS. I’ve now had both their gallon of takeout cold brew, and I just ordered in person for the first time; I am thoroughly impressed.

Ordered a hot chocolate coffee first time - it was great! You can taste the drip coffee and the actual chocolate which comes through with more than just sweetness. The …
Stopped by Bean Traders for the first time and I can already tell it won’t be the last. The coffee was really good, and the sesame bagel with cream cheese and cucumbers was surprisingly amazing…they definitely don’t go cheap on the cream cheese haha. Really liked the place and the whole vibe there. Y’all will definitely see me back again …
What a cool place. And it's next to Sprouts. It was packed in here. The baristas are super friendly and helpful. They have a full, creative food menu. I only got an iced latte, which was superb. The espresso been was more light roast with fruity notes, but was still prominent in the latte complex. The line was super long …
