Parker And Otis - Durham

Hands down best gift shop I was too! will order in the regular lunch and then peruse the shop. Eating is decent portion sizes are good and they have a nice selection of drinks to choose from.

My wife and I love this place. We bring out of town guests here for the relaxed atmosphere. The food is easy going but done right. We ask for lightly toasted on toasted sandwiches as occasionally they get carried away with the toasting. Watch out for the birds they are waiting for you to turn your head and they are brave. Overall a wonderful place to eat and enjoy downtown Durham.

I visited on a Friday afternoon for lunch. This place is super cute. We were easily able to park in their parking lot located directly in front of the restaurant. I ordered the green goddess tuna sandwich at one kiosk and by the time I ordered my soy chai at another station my sandwich was finished. Easy to find seating outside under the covered porch. The aesthetic is super cool, it’s a renovated warehouse area so it’s filled with old rustic charm. Inside there are so many cute things to look at, from stationary and cards to cool books and children’s toys. I would recommend visiting. The food was good, the service was friendly and quick.

We were staying at a hotel nearby and wanted some good tea and coffee. We came across this gem near the baseball park. It is a gift shop and a pastry/lunch/coffee shop all in one. Very cool spot. They had great prices and even better drinks. Go here.

Good sandwich place with a lot of interesting things to see. Someone suggested that it was like a Cracker Barrel with the food and a shop. I think that is where the similarity ends because the shop part has a lot more interesting and better quality things in it. The food is better and the shop cleaner than any Cracker Barrel I have seen.
