Great Mid Day Snack - Edit
While in Durham, I stopped here mid afternoon when I was in need of a boost and some calories. I got the King Smoothie, which has espresso in it (along with lots of other magical ingredients) and a vegan/gluten free macaroon. Everything was amazing. I scarfed down both the smoothie and the macaroon and immediately wanted another smoothie because it was so delish.
Pros: Great vegan options, Such nice service, Fresh and healthy ingredients
Cons: None!

great atmosphere, lattes, and treats! - Edit
Respite staff are very friendly and conscious of what "vegan" means, the lattes are expertly made with almond milk (or select from the extensive tea menu - I like the vanilla chai), and there's always a selection of vegan items. Aside from the cupcakes, I really appreciate that they offer savory tamales from Soul Cocina. I stop by for a light lunch, bring my laptop, and enjoy a tamale along with a latte while I sit by the window and soak in the sun. It is rarely crowded and a great place to hang out or work.
Pros: variety of vegan options, friendly , nice atmosphere
Cons: not fully vegan
