Best quick in and out place in Durham! Pimento cheese BLT is literally to die for.

I’m a sucker for cute shops and this one is at the top of the list. What a beautiful shop! First there Lavender Latte is perfection it’s smooth and creamy and if you add extra Lavender you won’t regret it. I also like to grab an Ice coffee w/ Lavender syrup when the weather is good. My son loves there Cheddar biscuits that they have everyday where you can just grab and go. I treat myself once in a while to the chocolate bar and it’s always fresh. I haven’t tried much of the food to be honest but I shop here often. They have everything you need for ANY occasion, and any person. Actually there selection of Black children’s books is one of the best in the city. My son try’s to get a new book every time we visit. I really appreciated seeing all the black faces on books because sometimes we are left out, and seeing my son’s face light up when he saw someone who looked like him was all the more reason to shop. From plushies, to candles, to wine, to cookbooks, to candy there literally is something for everybody. In addition to the store just being super cute it’s in America Tobacco campus so after you shop and grab food you can lounge on the grass or rocking chairs and take it all in. Bravo to this shop and I would definitely suggest this place for out of towers to locals. Parking: I’d download the app to pay for parking. Super easy! Kid-friendliness: Perfect for the little ones.

P&O in one word is delightful! The sandwiches are fresh and filling. The service team is always helpful and friendly. And the outdoor patio and indoor gift shop are the perfect spot for a lunch break. 12/10 recommend!

I was around the corner on a freelance job, and I needed a pick me up as I hadn't had any coffee that day. I went in got my coffee very quick and It was very good. I don't live in Durham, but I'll have to come back soon and see what else they have.

Very nice sandwiches

Vegetarian options: The #29 is my favorite. Pro tip - add pepper jelly!!
