A large, Ikea-furnished space hosts lunchtime diners, sofa loungers and after-hours social butterflies. On the menu: A full roster of coffee drinks, some Republic of Tea selections and a pared-down lunch menu. Broad Street Coffee provides the beans. Local faves Sweet Jane and Ninth Street Bakery provide the fresh-baked scones, muffins and danishes.

Upon a recommendation of my co-workers, we visited the Blue Coffee Cafe today. I placed my order (one hot dog w/ chips and iced tea). Twenty minutes later, I still did not have my order. This is unacceptable. First of all, there were less than half a dozen other patrons in the cafe. Secondly, although, they were pitifully understaffed, the staff there made no effort to hasten in their service. Despite the fact we had to take it back to the office to enjoy it, I can honestly say the food was good.

The food is great at the Blue Coffee Cafe, but the service is terrible. If you have time to waste, this is a great place to eat, and yes, the owner is a sweetheart. But if you have time constraints, for instance a one hour lunch break, you want to avoid this eatery all together. I have tried even calling in advance to no avail - the wait time is just as absurd as walking in.

The food, the music, the service, the atmosphere - it doesn't get any better than the Blue Coffee Cafe! The breakfast menu tops anything McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, or Burger King have to offer, the lunchtime selection of sandwiches, hot dogs, and other grilled items is more than satisfying, and the fresh goodies offered all day long (muffins, bagels, cake, etc.) keep you coming back for more. The staff is professional, prompt, and kind - and Gwen Matthews, the owner, is an absolute sweetheart. You can't afford to swing through Downtown Durham and NOT pay this cultural treasure a visit...you'll be robbing yourself of a shining example of just what makes our city so unique.
