European-style cafe with espresso, cocktails, pastries, and wine

























"Whether it’s a cup of coffee served in china, a pastry, a panini, or a wine spritzer, all of this plus world-class decor can be found at Cafe Duro. Stop in for breakfast, lunch, or to grab a bottle of wine for dinner. Stay and watch the traffic on Greenville go by from the shop or the porch of Sister next door for a delightful slowing the world down experience." - Courtney E. Smith


"Enjoy a quiet espresso, European-style — sitting down and chatting with a friend. This marble-laden spot on Greenville is a beautiful place to perk up your morning. And if you’d like to sit, eat, or stay awhile, customers have access to the porch of Sister next door." - Courtney E. Smith


"Drink like the Europeans do — in the afternoon and while watching the world go by. Leaned up against the bars in front of the windows of this cafe on Greenville Ave. or sitting on the patio of next door restaurant Sister with a big glass of wine and some little treat to nosh is one of the best ways to pass an hour. The selection is tightly curated, changes often, and will likely not be a bottle you’d get anywhere else in town." - Courtney E. Smith

"In Lower Greenville, a little European vacation has arrived: Cafe Duro has expanded its cafe offerings—coffee, pastries, pizzetta, panini and imported goods—by adding a small wine shop curated by Duro Hospitality’s director of wine and beverage, Nicole Nowlin. The selection, which co-founder Chas Martin says was discovered while “casting a wide net,” is organized not by region but by playful pairings (for example, Rich and Sexy Whites versus Textural Interesting Whites) and accompanied by ten-word tag descriptions that encourage a “trust us and try it” vibe; staff behind the counter give confident, consistent pairing advice. The 800-square-foot space currently carries about 100 bottles with plans to expand, and the shop will also run a multi-tiered wine club—Duro Explorer ($145), Duro Collector ($275) and the “Trust Us” club ($499)—sourced from a wide range of regions, flavor profiles and price points." - Courtney E.
