Toast: Downtown Durham's Best Sandwiches & Soups
Daily specials are driven by what Mr. Cotter finds at local farmers’ markets. During my visit, those selections included fantastic two-bite crostini topped with a creamy mix of avocado, lemon and Grana Padano cheese, and a perfectly crisp panino with fresh asparagus, truffled cheese and fluffy, bright yellow egg, a colorful combination of contrasting textures.
Paninis with ingredients like farm egg, taleggio and chives have secured Toast just about every local best-sandwich award for the past decade.
Mangia, mangia! You eat like a bird.

Convenient Lunch Hours
Indoor & Outdoor Seating in Downtown Durham
We've got you covered for lunch all week. We’re open from Monday to Friday, between 11 am and 2:45 pm - perfect for an early or late lunch break. But, if Saturdays are more your style, we're open from 11:30 to 2:45 pm. All six days, we seat indoor and out (weather permitting) until 2:15, then switch to take out. Whether you're on a tight schedule or prefer to dine at your leisure, we offer the convenience of placing your order via online (best option) or phone for easy pick-up. (It’s only fair to mention though that when we are very busy, we focus on the food and not the phone 😉.)
For those who prefer to savor their meal outdoors, we provide a charming outdoor seating area (weather permitting) where you can soak up the sun and the downtown Durham atmosphere while enjoying your favorite sandwiches and soups or even just a glass of wine.
