The butterbeer latte is so good!!! Fresh and strong coffee flavor, and the syrups are very tasty and not too sweet :) The ham and cheese croissant was also very good I came back multiple times on my weekend trip to Durham!!

I have been struggling to find a coffee shop that makes GOOD Matcha of GOOD quality. I am never satisfied when i go and pay for it. On a whim I came to Narrative, super last minute. Walked in about 20 mins before closing and my order was taken and quickly got handed my order, both of the baristas were SO nice. I thanked them for my order and they wished me a great day and took their time so smile and say goodbye which is something i highly appreciated. The matcha was AMAZING, can’t wait to come back. My husband highly enjoyed his americano which is also hard to find.

Finally got a chance to visit and I am particularly pleased at their hot and cold craft coffee beverages. Anything with tonic is a great offer! The ladies working the front were fantastic and I really enjoyed my coffee and the interior of the shop. The one detractor was the Africans American male standing behind the girls at the counter — I think he’s a manager (not the owner, who is also AfAm). He was standing there on his phone with an uninterested expression as if he didn’t care about the customer experience and any on the interactions taking place in front of him. The women were all cheerful and engaging while he just hovered behind them on his phone. Honestly, his attitude makes me not want to visit this shop. I repeat visit places that make me feel good as a customer and don’t make me feel like I’m just their money maker.

I absolutely love when coffee shops have fun interesting coffee flavors and Narrative did not dissappoint!! First off I got the seasonal flavor Maple Bourbon Latte which was delicious! The music and atmosphere were relaxed, modern, organic, and comfortable. The music was a good volume and offered a slowed, relaxed low fi vibe. There are plenty of outlets which I much appreciate!! The owner was very kind and welcoming and I will definitely be back again!
