    Toast definitely fills the need for a good sandwich shop in the Triangle Area! Extremely creative, yet familiar food that is sure to satisfy!

    The rapini sandwich with sweet sausage and asiago fresca was sublime. Pleasant atmosphere and great outdoor seating with a nice view of downtown durham.

    enjoy the warmest welcome in town from Kelli Cotter. scan the specials board for seasonal goodness. when the cauliflower soup is in season, you must eat it. you will not regret it.

    Everything is great. My go-to favorites: the proscuitto and mozzarella panini and the roasted beet bruschetta (warning: comes with garlic breath) - always get the simple side green salad! Fantastic!

    It's always crowded...from a food/beverage/service background myself...they could move people through the line faster. It's not that big of a menu and you stand in line forever to decide what you want

    Shrimp and sun choke salad with arugula sandwich. A very popular lunch spot in Durham. Best to make it an early lunch. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    The spicy tuna panini with lemon, fennel and olivada is what dreams are made of. So is the lemon, artichoke, new potato purée.

    Soup is great! Sandwiches are above average. Just wish the decor was a bit “warmer”.
