Crema's Take
“Alimentari at Mothers & Sons is a warmly elegant Italian spot in Durham where regulars linger over thoughtfully constructed sandwiches on homemade ciabatta and fresh pasta, drawn as much by the gracious staff and beautiful classic interiors as by consistently excellent food. Whether you're settling in for a full breakfast, a leisurely brunch, or lunch at the bar with a spicy Bloody Mary, this is the kind of gem that makes you want to keep coming back—it's the rare place where good coffee, quality ingredients, and genuine hospitality all come together effortlessly.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
