The Works Café

The place was hopping at lunchtime! Staff were friendly, efficient, and got the meals out quickly. I had the bbq chicken melt, delicious! Family had meals and they were equally good. Such a great downtown spot with a great vibe.

Portion sizes are a bit small, but food is very fresh and high quality

WOW! This place was recommended to me as a bagel place and The Works Café is MUCH more than just bagels! First off, there is plenty of seating so you don't have to worry about that. When you stand at the register to order you can't see the far end of the menu, that's how much they have! From sandwiches to smoothies, they have it all and I have so mucn I'm excited to try. I got myself a sandwich which the cashier was helpful in informing me on what's good, and I was able to get a hot apple cider, my favorite. The sandwiche was excellent, and all of it was a good price. So far, I'd say this is the best breakfast food available in Durham.

I’ve been eating at The Works as long as I can remember. I’ve seen changes in management, menu, and decor. The food and staff are friendly and efficient. But today my bagel had so little cream cheese on it, I felt compelled to reach out. I still give the place 4 stars but now I’m just hungry and bummed. Ps I asked for dark toasted! That’s not a mistake

Crazy busy weekend, so I'm not mad that they were busy and backed up. That's to be expected on very busy weekends at the school. But I am very upset that I was told 30 minutes when I ordered, and then had to wait an hour and 31 minutes to get the sandwiches. They have to be better about estimating wait times! If they told me the wait to was over an hour, I would have thanked them politely, and found someplace else to eat.
