Durham · Café & Bar

Durham, your corner of calm
has a new address.

Specialty coffee. Craft cocktails. A sunlit space on Wannamaker Drive where the community gathers, lingers, and feels at home.

Our Story

Rooted in Durham,
built for you.

The Tower at Duke opened its doors on Wannamaker Drive as a place where the pace slows down and the coffee is poured with intention. We serve locally roasted coffee, seasonal drinks, and a kitchen menu that changes with what's fresh — because Durham deserves a neighborhood spot that takes its craft seriously.

By day, it's a café with plenty of room to work, read, or catch up. By night, the same space transforms into a relaxed bar with a thoughtfully curated cocktail list and small plates. Same walls. Two moods. One welcome.
