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.

Stop by here!
This place is definitely worth a stop in. The food was absolutely amazing! We had the biscuit sandwich with bacon, salmon bagel, and avocado toast and we wanted to try several other’s.
The homemade biscuits are so delicious, and the salmon bagel was loaded with fresh ingredients. The avocado toast is simply sourdough with sliced avocado.
The atmosphere is cute, with that grandmas kitchen type of feel with trinkets, goodies, homemade snack foods, and a little seating area inside and out.
We were so glad we stopped in and will definitely return when we’re in the area.

We called in a pick up order, and got to walk around a bit while we waited. It was crowded, but well worth it! We got a biscuit and it was delicious!! It seems like they have a good system to handle how popular they are. Can’t wait to go back!

Foster’s is my dad’s and my go-to spot! My favorite dish is the avocado toast with fried eggs—it’s amazing, especially the bread they use. The atmosphere is cozy, with plenty of seating and parking. Great spot to bring kids too!

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.
