Nolia Family + Coffee

First time stopping by this place and it is wonderful. The “ice ice baby” (essentially an iced vanilla latte) was delicious and there are great indoor and outdoor play spaces for kids! I’ll be back soon!

Incredible family and child centered, truly family owned coffee shop. They have a small, delightful coffee selection, some pastry options, tea, and hot cocoa including a child menu. There is fenced in outdoor seating so the children(and adults) can play as well as a cozy indoor play area and seating. Phenomenal place to bring the children and enjoy conversation and a cup of coffee. Genuinely welcomes your beloved little ones in all their energetic beauty. Perfect place for anyone with a young one looking for community, connection, and caffeine.

I just went to this adorable coffee shop for the first time! First of all, the owners are extremely kind, which makes me want to go way more often. Then, of course the coffee and the treats are delicious! My 21 month old daughter also loved the play area, and it was awesome how family-friendly the whole place was. They were telling us that they will be expanding soon to include an outdoor play area and more seating. Very exciting! A wonderful addition to the Durham community. You should definitely check it out.

Nolia is the perfect coffee shop for the minimalist -- simple menu, stunning design details, and a beautiful philosophy: a cafe should hold its community. Its full name is Nolia: coffee + family, and you find out why the minute you step inside. It boasts a beautiful play area that can accommodate several children and parents for a playdate or just a sweet spontaneous hot chocolate. Check out the kid-height kid's menu! This place goes beyond child friendly, it celebrates family and connection. The owners Natalie and Justin are warm & friendly and passionate about their place.
10/10 would absolutely recommend, again & again! They even have a stroller/ wheelchair entrance. If you're lucky enough to stop by on a sunny day, try to check out the courtyard, complete with curious chickens peeking out from their corner coop!

I love this place. The space itself is amazing, even when I go without my kids, but really, it's great to have a place where I feel totally welcome with my small children. Since the pandemic and they are doing curbside pickup, one nice thing I noticed is that, since they always added the cream and sugar to my drinks they know exactly how I like my coffee. Other coffee shops I frequent, suddenly are adding cream and sugar for me and I can not figure out how to communicate directly enough to get the proportions I actually want. But Nolia, they always get it exactly right.

Great spot for families and friends! The coffee is great too! I like the feel of the environment. They have a chicken coop and a place for children to play outside. Just delightful and comfy. I had a cup coffee and some hibiscus tea.

The vanilla iced coffee was amazing, and the coffee shop was so cute! Both my 13 month old and 5 year old had a great time- cute little inside play area for kids and a ton of space outdoors to run around and play as well. I will definitely be back 😀

Incredible service, a perfect cup of tea for me and coffee for my partner, and Justin is so cool and friendly. The space is amazingly black and family oriented, with chickens and plenty of space and a beautiful play space for littles. What a lovely, lovely place.

Love this little coffee place. A sweet space with toys for smaller children is visible from the register, so you can order your coffee without a lot of wiggling and wining if you came with kids. There's a big yard outside, too. Coffee is top notch and so are the pastries

Coffee is smooth and delicious, space is welcoming to ALL, and my daughter LOVES it! She makes herself right at home. I've met other parents, had impromptu playdates, and made friends with the chickens in the adjacent yard. All in all, Nolia is more than a coffee shop, it's a community, and I'm ever so grateful they've joined the Bull City tribe!

A great neighborhood coffee shop in the old Golden Belt mill church building. Excellent coffee from B&W. They are also serving Jeddah's teas. The pour-over coffee takes a bit longer to prepare, but is ultimately the correct choice. If you're hungry, a variety of baked goods is also available (from East Durham Bake Shop, I believe). Very family oriented, with a play area for kids and stroller "parking". There is car parking along the street or you can park in Golden Belt and walk if your parallel parking game is weak.

I love Nolia! As a caffeine addict, I've tried basically every coffee shop within a 15 mile radius. The coffee at Nolia is rich and flavorful without being acidic or bitter. I especially love the Ice Ice Baby, their iced pourover coffee with a dash of vanilla. The icing on the cake is how friendly the owners and staff are. Their attitudes akways brighten my day! It's a pleasure to visit through and through.

What's not to love? A local, family friendly spot with great coffee, welcoming staff, and are for kids to play, read, and hang out. Visited for the first time over the weekend and will come back whenever I'm in the area. Support local folks! Also, they do have an outdoor space that is available for event rental...not sure of the details, but a good option for events.

I met a friend for coffee at Nolia for the first time today! Our kids played in the adorable play area and outside in the yard while we enjoyed some truly delicious coffee. We will definitely be back!

An amazing place where great coffee meets parents with little ones. If you want a place to enjoy great coffee ant have to worry about what to do with your little ones while you enjoy coffee or a quick read, this is a great place to check out!

One of the first things you might notice upon entering the cozy walls of Nolia’s Coffee is Justin’s contagious enthusiasm and smile. A wonderful spot to come thru, hang back w a great cup of coffee, and kick back for a few while the kids entertain themselves. Don’t tell Mommy, but it’s crossed my mind to leave the kids for an hour 😂

This place is fantastic. Wonderful coffee at fair prices, a beautiful space thoughtfully arranged for kids and adults, and top notch customer service. Also, parking is easy! Telling everyone I know to come.

Awesome coffee and baked goods from East Durham Bakeshop! The owners are wonderful, and the atmosphere is so friendly and warm. My new go-to!

This place is amazing! It’s wonderful with kids and I would highly recommend you checking it out. Justin is wonderful, friendly and welcoming to families with young kids. Plus the coffee and cookies are tasty!

Great coffee and they have a good set up for ordering online and getting your order with minimal contact. Workers were wearing masks the entire time. A great local minority owned family business!
