Stumbled into the space today after hearing about it from friends. You’ve created a magical place.
An unbelievable place. A must visit! Delicious hot chocolate!
Hi, wondering if your live music space might be available for a concert on either Saturday night 2/11 or Sunday afternoon 2/12? Please email me back. Sorry to post this publicly but I couldn’t find a “contact” link. Many thanks!
Hi there~ I wanted to share a post about Straw Valley that I wrote for my blog; it’s at: http://durhamcommunitybuilder.com/straw-valley-cafe Also, I wanted to get in touch about playing some bluegrass at your venue. Please contact me soon. Best, ~Hope
Your space is amazing! I visited recently for a meeting with work and once more for pleasure, but was so disappointed both visits to find such a lack of food options. I was unprepared to find so little to eat! The website gave the impression that there was much more food available that what I found on either visit. Another friend mentioned recently that she came with 10 family members for breakfast one weekend morning and there wasn’t enough food for them to eat! They enjoyed a coffee and then left to eat at another restaurant where they spent over $150. It seems like a missed opportunity for you… Are you working on securing a plan for a larger menu and more reliable food source? I hope so as I would love to come hang out, sip something yummy, chat, and not be hungry!
Looking forward to another visit soon.
We are currently working on our kitchen. Thank you for working with us. In the meantime we are working on getting additional food options in.
I was shown Straw Valley today by a friend. Simply could not believe how interesting it is. It is one of the places that makes Durham special — a cut above Raleigh and Chapel Hill. As a place for groups to meet it is unique, and a marvelous setting for individuals to sit and enjoy life. I’m afraid if I bring my Raleigh friends over it will make them upset because once again they will see the superior character and personality of the Bull City. Love the Buddhas!
Serene and gorgeous. Professional staff, friendly service and delicious coffee!
The perfect place to unwind alone or with friends!
