one of my favorite things about living in durham is the variety of unique shops and restaurants we have. there are so many great local boutiques and coffee shops and eateries within a 10-15 minute drive of my apartment. parker and otis is a gem of a place in downtown durham that combines the best of the shopping and eating worlds. if you asked me to recommend a great breakfast/lunch place in durham, this place would definitely be on my list. their food is super fresh, super local, super delicious. they have a huge variety of chocolates and candies, a great coffee bar serving up local roast coffee, and the best assortment of gifts and cards. i went this past saturday morning for breakfast and ordered one of their huge and fluffy cheddar cheese biscuits along with their breakfast BLT on sourdough. so delicious. if you are ever in the dirty d (as we so fondly call this awesome city), do yourself a favor and stop by parker and otis!

As Tina Fey would say, "I want to go to there!" If ever we happen to meet in Durham you must take me to this place! I'm the biggest fan of little shops/eateries like this where they sell cute and unique things- this place looks like a dream! The food looks and sounds delicious and I bet I could blow a whole lot of money here :)
ReplyDeletehahaha i love that quote. GIRL. COME TO DURHAM. i will take you to all of my favorite places. you will love it. perhaps i can even persuade you to move to NC instead of TN? ;-)
Deleteare those jelly beans and jelly worms in the first pic?...yum!!!! I'm nuts over candy.... and coffee!...so I can definitely see myself wandering around this place frequently if I lived there... seems like a cool shop to hang out...
ReplyDeletei think yes! jelly beans and jelly worms! i think i could live happily ever after on a diet of candy and coffee. i would probably weigh 300 lbs but WORTH IT. ;-)
DeleteMy WORD how cute is this little place?! Places you can eat in AND shop in like these little cafe's are my favorite. There were so many in San Fran and if I could have bought all of the homemade jams in those stores I would have. Put this place on my list. I'm coming solely for that photo wall.

your trip to san fran looked like a complete dream!! i am bookmarking your post about it to read later today. i am so glad you enjoyed yourself. i am literally planning a trip to monterey/carmel as i type. i am beyond excited. california is my love state. i have determined it in my mind that i will live back there again one day. you must visit me, of course. :-)
DeleteOut of all the years I've lived here, I still have never made it to Parker & Otis! I may have to change that this weekend :)
ReplyDeletegirl! can we plan another friend/bloggy date there? would love to meet up with you and catch up over delicious food and coffee. and then we would shop because DUH. :-)
DeleteSo cute! I can definitely spend an afternoon there!
