There were several patrons sitting and eating but there aren't many tables. I got a croissant and sourdough loaf to go. Croissant was good but the sourdough tasted more like refined white bread than the rustic kind that we prefer. We're not in this area too often but I'll need to remind myself this place is here.

Firstly, it smelled delicious, and secondly, we were greeted by the nice young man behind the counter. While there were many cupcake options, the cake slices drew my attention. I'm a chocolate gal so I knew I had to try the chocolate on chocolate cake slice. My husband, who is also a cake snob, immediately noticed that it looked moist, so hopefully it would be. I waited until our 50 minute drive to try a little bit. Well, I almost ate the whole thing! Let me tell you, this cake melts in your mouth. The frosting is perfect and not too sweet. Just the right about of chocolate flavor. I had to fight with myself to have the rest after dinner for my treat. We have found a new dessert spot when we're in Durham. Do not sleep on this bakery! We will be back! No pic since I wouldn't do it any justice since I ate half!

If…read moreyou've got a leadfoot like I do, you might not even notice this light blue rectangle of a "tienda". If you're from the West like me, you'll have some familiar with this tienda/panaderia (convenience store and bakery). The bakery specializes in Central American-style pastries and decorated cakes. If you're not familiar with Mexican pastries, come inside and give it a try. At about $0.80 a bun, you can't really go wrong. Everything is made fresh in the morning with no preservatives. So come early to get the freshest goods. Must-have are "conchas" (sea-shell), which is a classic crumb-encrusted bun, one that has been adopted in Asia as the go-to morning bun. Bring a travel mug of your favorite coffee and then enjoy some great pan dulce in the decomposed rock parking lot by the side of the highway at dawn. Trust me. This is good living.

There I was, standing in front of a bakery case with a ridiculous name--Chicken Bridge--looking at the bagels. Sour dough bagels. Why I decided to buy one, I don't know, especially as it was a whopping $2. I took a bite, then bought the remaining bagel. The following week I went online, ordered a dozen bagels for $1.60 each. This is my new go-to bagel place. Why? They are chewy, flavorful with a sourdough yeasty smell. With my first bagel, I handed out bites to friends at the market, watched their expressions register that aha, these are real bagels, not the doughy circles from other bakeries. I taste their bread samples every week, love the semolina fennel, but keep ordering bagels. They said that the bagels are complicated, take a long time. I can vouch that they are worth every penny. They also provide crusty hearty breads for a local CSA. PS I can't find their phone number.

They completed our tables and made our wedding dinner perfect.

"Great deli-style sandwiches, from rather hidden location on Chapel Hill Rd"…read more Came by here on a Saturday. This place is REALLY hard to find... it's behind the State Farm building, but there's barely any signage from the street. (Note: some photos here in Yelp seem to be from an older location.) We actually came one Saturday, but it was unexpectedly closed, but we caught them the following one, so good to call and confirm before driving over. You walk up to a door on the back, and scan a QR code to see the menu. Then knock on/ open the door and someone will come to take your order. Then you wait outside and they bring you your sandwiches. The lady who took our order was very friendly. The kitchen was rather large, so I suspect it's used for more than just this business. We ordered two turkey subs-- the East New York (which was slightly spicy) and the Dumbo. Wait time was maybe 7-10 minutes or so. Both sandwiches came nicely wrapped, and I think total cost was a little over $20. And conveniently, they take Apple Pay. These were not your Subway or Quiznos sandwiches-- these were DELICIOUS pressed sandwiches (we got them on focaccia. I personally liked the Dumbo the best-- it had a nice mix of flavors that meshed well. The East New York was solid and had a nice spiciness, but not quite as exciting overall. Would I come back? Probably, but since there's no seating, and it's a bit awkward, maybe not the first place I'd think to try, but again, the sandwiches were REALLY good. I do think it may be excellent for catering or for getting picnic sandwiches though.
