Foster's Market has a charming cottage café vibe. Head over for breakfast or lunch and enjoy a salad, soup, sandwich or one of their many baked goods (perhaps a slice of their indulgent peanut butter pie) on the patio or lawn. On your way out, stop to peruse their selection of local gifts, including jams, coffee, toffee, cheese straws, grits and candy, along with cookbooks and kitchenware.

I’ve never made a bad choice at Fosters. The food is excellent every time. Today I had the Cubano (hold the pickles). I opted for an iced dirty chai oat milk latte to drink although, the DO have diet Dr Pepper here which is ALWAYS a win for me. The parking situation at busy times can be a challenge but the food is worth the fight.

Hands down my favorite place to eat in Durham. The ambiance, the people and the food can’t be beat! Years later I rediscovered it’s still rocking the same quality as so many years ago when I used to come. A true treasure. FIVE STARS!!!!!

My son and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch here on Saturday. Our sandwiches were delicious, but what really impressed me was the service. The staff went out of their way to make us "first timers" feel welcome! Highly recommend. Visit soon. You won't be disappointed.

Would recommend the weekly/specialty omelet. All the cakes are yummy but the tres leches strawberry cake is amazing. Their lattes are also very good.

Nice cozy place that serves breakfast and lunch. We were in Durham area and looking for a nice local place to support. Foster’s Market definitely matched what we were looking to find. We both ordered sandwiches that were fantastic. Nice size and well made. I ordered the Jammin Turkey Breast Sandwich (very yummy) with just the right amount of spice from the pepper jelly. My wife ordered the Roasted Turkey Breast sandwich, which she really enjoyed. Very nice place to visit with friendly people and plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. If in the area you need to visit.

A fun, eclectic restaurant with a deliciously diverse menu that makes you want to come back again and again until you have tasted every item on the menu. You feel like you step back in time as you peruse the old-time candy collection and the ample selection some of the tastiest cakes and pastries on earth. There is a separate coffee counter where you can get an excellent cup of made-to-order coffee just the way you like it. There is indoor and covered and sort of uncovered outdoor seating. It was a perfect day when we went, and we sat on the covered porch and made a memory of a lifetime with the family. I plan to make this an annual family sojourn. I can’t wait to return to this “destination restaurant” in Durham. Highly recommended, be prepared for a great time and delicious meal!

Great brunch, super busy on the weekend. I loved the breakfast biscuit and cheese grits. Don’t miss out on the cookies. You order at the counter like a deli, then sit anywhere that’s open and someone brings your food out to you, then you pay at the register before you leave.

The guy taking my order seemed impatient. It was after 1pm on a Friday and there was no one behind us. Breakfast order the over medium eggs were over cooked, the biscuit was hard and cold, the potatoes were cold with too much Italian seasoning, but the bacon was really good. His Cubano sandwich with a side of Red Potato Salad was delicious! Self serve drinks they do NOT have Sweet iced tea. You can add syrup but it just wasn’t good. His sandwich was brought out first. Halfway done, my breakfast arrived. I asked the second guy if there was any jelly? He just swung his arm behind him, “over there”. I get up and can’t find any except for jars of jelly. “I guess they want us to buy that”, I thought. Husband looked and several minutes later, found some packets. After eating, you take the ticket to the cash stand up front. The lady was standing near the second register and pointed to the first register. No “how was your meal?” “Was everything alright?” She didn’t even smile. While the receipt wasn’t broken down, the total with tax was about $37.00. Since I’ve wanted to eat here for awhile, I was disappointed in the food and the staff. It’s also over priced. If we come back, will just get a sandwich and a coke.
