Parker and Otis
324 Blackwell St Bay 4, Durham, NC
Crema's Take
“This beloved Durham spot brings together an upscale gift shop, excellent coffee, and genuinely outstanding sandwiches that locals swear are the best in the Triangle—towering creations like their famous egg salad and grilled pimento cheese that don't skimp on quality ingredients. Housed on the charming American Tobacco campus, it's a bright, welcoming place with generous indoor and outdoor seating that feels perfect for a leisurely Saturday morning or grabbing a boxed lunch for work. The whole vibe captures that rare magic of a neighborhood gathering spot that does everything well, whether you're there for coffee, a carefully crafted meal, or just to browse their curated gift selection.”

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