Daughters Coffee and Books

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This coffee shop is such a gem with super easy access from I-40. They have an amazing coffee selection, and I tried the Aphrodite's Embrace which was refreshing and full of flavor. The atmosphere inside is lively and welcoming, with a great vibe for hanging out or getting some book reading or work done!

This coffee shop is so cute! The people working here are very friendly and it is super chill. It's a small place, but they had a good selection of books and related gifts. They had a really nice display for Pride month and themed drinks. They offer some yummy baked goods, too. It is a snack and drink place rather than a lunch spot.

Since it's opening, Daughters has quickly become a regular stop for us. We love having a local coffee shop near us the fact that it's also a bookstore is perfection! We love exploring their seasonal favorites, which are always fun puns for literary lovers. They have a great selection of new and popular releases, fun book-ish and cozy gifts/activities to purchase, plus a pre-loved book section that's fun to explore. If a book you want isn't in store, they can order it for you and you'll 10% off the sticker price. Our three year-old loves the little kids play area in the back and "making coffee" for us while we wait for the real thing. The staff are always kind and helpful to us. We especially appreciate Frances, their bookseller, who always has great recs if you're not sure what to read next! One tip: I wouldn't suggest arriving super hungry since the focus is coffee and books. They do sell some amazing baked goods, including some items from Chef Chick's and Ninth Street Bakery but don't have a full menu.

I loved the atmosphere and the service I got! Tons of books for all ages and genres, with many diverse authors represented. The tea was good but the ice melted and made it super watery, I suggest asking for no ice. The cups are small but the prices arent bad so it’s okay, you get the amount you pay for. Advice for the management: please change the hours on Google/Maps to reflect that you’ll be closed for holiday hours. I wanted to come see yall again today and it said open on Google and on your website but was closed when I got there. I completely understand bc it’s Labor Day, but a warning would be nice 🙂

I’m so excited Daughters opened up in our neighborhood area. I’ve been looking for another great LOCAL coffee shop for remote work days and this is officially my new favorite. The staff are SO NICE! It’s the kind of place that makes you feel welcomed whether it’s your first time or twentieth. They sell both used and new books and also host small events on occasion. Not to mention their coffee is sooo good! Love all the fun flavors and they’ve got other juice/tea drink options as well and a small selection of baked goods.

Love love love this coffee shop!! By far my favorite in Durham. There is a cute corner for kids with toys and books where they can enjoy time with other kids or parents. They also sell lots of kid and adult books. The cappuccino was superb!

So happy to have found this place and we absolutely loved it. Books and coffee is such a great combo. My coffee and cinnamon roll tasted great as well.

So excited to have this bookstore/coffee combo near pur neighborhood. The staff was super friendly and I loved the selection of new and used books, along with a few other giftable items! We especially loved playing in the kids corner. It seemed extremely popular and had playthings for toddlers and bigger kids too! We will be back!
