Took our wheelchair bound mother-in-law here for her birthday dinner. She enjoyed everything as did we. This is a simple, honest, quality cafe you can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner at. Give them a try… they are part of what make Durham great!

Had a great brunch at The Refectory Cafe! The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is super friendly. I especially love those flowers!! Such a thoughtful touch that really brightens my mood. We ordered the Carolina Cobb, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and a Strawberry Smoothie. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend

Delicious Farm to table breakfast! Everything was fresh and amazing quality. We walked in without a reservation (just 2 of us) and they gave us a time we needed to be out by lol was just kind of weird? Other than that everything was wonderful! Maybe just would recommend making a reservation 😉

I absolutely loved The Refectory Café! From the moment I walked in, the place just felt right, warm, inviting, and full of great energy. The atmosphere is perfect: cozy yet vibrant, with a relaxed vibe that makes you want to linger over your meal. Whether you're inside or on the patio (highly recommend if the weather's nice), it’s one of those spots where everything just clicks. The service was out
