Mid Bloom Coffee: A Cozy, Creative Hub in the Heart of Durham
There’s something magical about finding that perfect neighborhood coffee shop — the kind of place that instantly feels like home, where the baristas know your name and the coffee is consistently excellent. For me, that place is Mid Bloom Coffee in Old West Durham.
A Women-Owned Gem with a Passion for Craft
Mid Bloom is proudly women-owned and operated, and that intentionality shines through in every corner of the shop. From the beautiful interior details to the rotating menu of thoughtfully crafted drinks, you can tell there’s heart behind everything they do.
Their mission is simple: make excellent coffee. But it’s more than just espresso — it's the way they explore creativity while staying true to quality. Whether it’s a unique seasonal latte, a bold pour-over, or a perfectly whisked matcha, Mid Bloom brings care and character to every cup.
More Than Just Coffee
While coffee is at the heart of what they do, Mid Bloom also offers a variety of other standouts:
Tea lovers, rejoice! Their rotating loose-leaf options are just as intentional as their espresso.
Matcha and chai drinkers will find delicious, high-quality versions here — smooth, spiced, and balanced.
They even serve up refreshing, creative seasonal drinks that surprise and delight with every visit.
