The bagels are freshly baked and the drink selection is good. Bagel sandwiches are always a good choice for lunch, though somewhat messy to eat. The atmosphere is casual, and the outdoor dining is convenient. This is a popular lunch destination in Durham, so leave plenty of time to stand in line at lunchtime - due mostly to the fact that the service is inefficient (the person who takes your order is also the person who goes to fulfill your order, often running back and forth twice the entire length of the counter), and you never know who's going to ring your order up.

Breaking New Grounds is located on Main Street near the intersection with Mill Pond Rd. The coffee is great - not horribly strong like Starbucks. In the summer they serve excellent gelato, but the selection is unpredictable (they occasionally run out of chocolate, which is my favorite). My biggest complaint is the cleanliness of the cream/stir stick station for coffee - the jars which hold the stir sticks regularly appear to be quite dirty. They offer a frequent coffee-buyer card which is convenient and a good incentive to return. Also a good place to dine outside and bring your dog.
