They were great when they were in the old district the tobacco warehouse district. They were really good. Look at their sandwiches now though yesterday I got a sandwich a BLT would you believe they forgot the bacon and this is the lettuce they put on the sandwich.

Delicious sandwiches served up in this swanky, upscale gift shop. They don’t skimp on the sandwich fillings, either. Very bright and has plenty of outdoor seating as well as indoor seating.

the best sandwiches in the triangle, hands down. I love no. 11 (egg salad), no. 22 (turkey and havarti – pictured), and no. 23 (grilled pimento cheese – pictured).
they are absolute whoppers and always so fresh and so tasty. the staff are all very lovely and even during the lunch rush the sandwiches are quick to come out.

I love Parker and Otis sandwiches! They are great as a boxed meal for work events, but their shop is cute and there are lots of outdoor seating options on the American Tobacco campus! Great spot for lunch and I like that they have espresso and coffee options!

I really love this place. Saturday morning shopping and breakfast in one place. It’s perfect – so many wonderful things in one little spot!

It has been years since I went and this was the first time at their new location. I guess it’s fine for those who want to just shop or grab and go. However our group was looking forward to sitting and enjoying our meal together similar to how it was in the old place. Seating is very limited , also while familiar entrees remain, you no longer get the included side options. Also they no longer have the gingerbread type cookies from years ago. I guess that piece of nostalgia is gone.

I love this place, super cute on the inside, great food, and excellent customer service!. They have more than food here, they have books, cards, toys, clothing, personal care, and so much more!

The sandwich options here are a good amount. Sandwiches are good. Fresh vegetables and the sandwich is not dry. Coffee is decent. No complaints (maybe a little overpriced for a to-go style place). Hot chocolate is bad. Too milky and/or runny.

Downtown Durham loves itself a gift store with grocery items. I really wish it was the other way around: A small grocer or bodega with some gift items. Not sure how the plethora of gift stores are more financially sustainable than a small grocery store. How many times have I bought something from Parker and Otis? Probably four times and it never was a scented candle or a quirky cookbook. How many times have I wished for a small grocery that’s a quick stroll near my apartment — one of a thousand new apartments clustered close by? Every. Single. Day.
People seem to always be scratching their heads about how to make businesses thrive in downtown Durham when there’s 80 places to get beer/cocktails and nowhere to get basic food staples. (Bulldega is not conveniently located for all the new construction/apartments.) The going logic is that people want to drive to one of the big box stores for groceries to save $ — while being in complete denial of the constant headaches from terrible driving, traffic jams and car accidents.
People pay downtown prices for downtown convenience — and not only for bars and yoga classes. There’s always a steady trickle of people on foot who I am sure, would pay for an overpriced kombucha, a loaf of bread, or a gallon of milk if they could run out of their apartment and be back in 5-10 minutes.

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.
