Dope Coffee. Good Food. Cool vibes. All sure to please your palate. Come visit Durham’s downtown living room. Established in 2005. In 2005, Dorian Bolden created Beyu Caffe as an idea to fill a unique void of combining a specialty coffee shop with a semi-upscale quick service bistro. The owner spent the next four years training as a cashier, barista, bar tender, and assistant manager at multiple food locations to learn the business and write a detailed business plan so that he could raise capital. By April 2009, enough capital was raised to open Beyu Caffe, and after 7 months of design and construction, Beyu Caffe opened its doors on December 9, 2009.
