Bean Traders

LOVE this place!! Staff are AWESOME. Plenty of seating and wall sockets for when you're working from there. Menu is packed full of awesomeness. I recommend the Caramel Latte & Cinnamon Toast .

Such a fantastic place! Great coffee , some of the nicest staff , a huge space , and some fun quirks like a candy bar and spicy chocolate coffee . This place is quintessential Durham and I love it.

From NJ. Searched the best coffee shops in the area I stayed in. I believe I came here every morning for coffee ! Friendly people, great playlists, awesome coffee . Hands down, loveee Bean Traders!

The best independent coffee shop in the area. Love their Hot chocolate coffee iced or hot. A great place to get some work done too.

The iced coffee was delicious. Best I've ever had and the staff was great! Loved the vibe of the place. Wish I could be there everyday but sadly I live in MN.

Everything is great at BT, delicious treats and beverages served with knowledgeable care. Only wish they were open longer hours- can any coffee shopnbe open past 8?Bean Traders is the best one in RTP.

Lots of good things here! They make great smoothies and the coffees of the day are always delicious. My personal favorite is the chocolate raspberry muffin which they usually have on the weekends!

Awesome tea . The whole experience of choosing the leaves and brewing to perfection was great. bagel sandwich was really difficult to eat.

This is, by far, the best coffee shop within a 40 mile radius. The coffee is amazing and staff are welcoming. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Definitely try a chai or green tea latte

Best coffee I've ever had. I promise that anything you get will be delicious. If you're looking for something a little different try the Chocolate Habanero iced coffee !

My favorite local coffee shop and I find myself driving out of my way to get here. Dave is a pro on the espresso machine, a huge Phish fan and makes everyone who comes in feel very welcome.

They carry delicious donuts-cinnamon sugar and chocolate were both surprisingly moist. Coffee is always great. Love the butter flavored. Get a bag to go!

Wonderful spot for morning coffee , quick biz meeting, or just to chill out . Ome of the very best coffee shops I've been to.

Moms bring there kids here=lots of noise. Some groups hold meetings here and take the tables. Definitely not a place to come get work done and relax like any other shop. Still has a great vibe tho.

Amazing coffee with an excellent selection. Fabulous food, including gluten free and vegan/vegetarian options.

Great food! Scones , pies , homemade waffles , quiches , everything is super. The coffee is top notch.

Coffee and staff are great, awesome food. Seating is blocky, uncomfortable, and music is unfamiliar and annoying. If changed music , added couches , would be much much better

Dave says "I'm actually descended from a long line of octopus " commenting on his ability to serve up his most delicious coffee creations. Watch him and you'll agree.

Yummy and unexpected white tea blends served here! Will return when its cold and need a warm beverage

Amazing coffee , amazing staff , amazing atmosphere. By far my favorite coffee place !

Chillax on the bus and then show your Regional Day Pass at the counter to get $1 off your beverage or 1/2 off if you bring your own mug . Read more

Good coffee and mix of pastries . Also, dozens of choices of teas and other goods

Amazing “Cloud Tea ”! Love having almond milk foam with my earl gray

Best iced coffee in Durham and also great place to buy beans.

Milkshakes ,lates,mochas , coffee ! Star.. who?

Get a drip. Always the best way to go or cold brewed ice coffee ...fantastic!

Honey vanilla latte is seriously the best latte I've ever had!

cold brew is legit + baristas are insanely nice

Coffee , bagels , and really awesome creamcheeses.

The staff and atmosphere make up for the lackluster chai

Simply the best...coffee , people, atmosphere, etc. This is a great place to be!

Slow and disorganized. Took them nearly an hour! to put together a simple order of 3 cold brews and bagels with cream cheese . The location also is in a strip mall next to a bunch of chain stores-Gross

Skip Starbucks and come here. A staff of friendly hippies will make you a mind blowing latte :)

Spice it up a bit and try the Iced Chocolate Habanero while it's still on special.

Oat bar with the coffee in the morning!! ????

Fantastic cappucinos and lattes . These folks love what they do and it shows in the presentation and quality!

Couple sprays of conditioner, little air from the blow dryer to seperate the matte, one brush and lots of elbow greese

Pumpkin spice latte is the best everrrrrrrrr

Try everything... but not all on the same visit!

The habenero iced mocha is amazing! Try it with skim no whip.

Wifi password is "jerrygarcia" on "Drink Some Bean!"

Covering over the electrical outlets ?!?! I'd have gladly paid for internet access, if you kept the juice (coffee and electrical) flowing. Now might have to abandon my quest to be mayor of BT.

Husband swears by their triple dry cappuccino . Their cafe au lait is much creamier than SBUX. Love it.

It would be easier to forget it's in a strip mall if the whole place wasn't bathed in fluorescent light. Really ruins the experience.

Best coffee , nicest people and a great way to wake up before a kick-ass class at sync cycle

Dave is one of the best baristas in the triangle, if not the world.

Friendliest staff in Durham! I always feel welcome!

Bring your own mug and time to enjoy.

Iced coffee on a hot day....the best

The reviews don't lie. These hippies are pretty happy serving coffee .
