Review by Rosalee Ritchie

Blue Corn Cafe in Durham is a delightful gem! 🌟 I recently enjoyed the spinach enchiladas and a refreshing chicken avocado salad, both bursting with flavor.

The vibrant, eclectic decor creates a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a casual dining experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home.

I also appreciated their vast menu, with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options available. Don’t forget to try their great coffee and tantalizing desserts! I left feeling satisfied and happy. I can’t wait to return for more...!
