Realized I'd…read moregotten low so we decided to hit this location up, and it was my first time using it and first time I guess for it to be added to Yelp. It's behind a Sheetz which is a bonus, I used a 150KW slot for our car as we can't take advantage of the 350KW and. I will say I discovered that for our car the last charger on the left side (150KW/Chademo) the slot the charger is and it's design doesn't work if you have a driver side front charging port (Audi Q8 or Chevy Bolt) and the cord didn't reach, so had to move to the far right charger. Worked great, got our 20-80% (62 kWh) in 28 minutes and hit a max of 146 KW (rated 150KW on charger). Since it was a new vehicle, didn't cost us anything. Great value from our perspective and plus got to buy road snacks inside the sheetz. Seemed to be a well used location at one point had two Ioniq 5s and a VW ID.4 there, a Rivian R1T drove buy but must have kept going since we were all there.

I don't know how I've never eater at Parker and Otis before, man I've been missing out!!…read more I was the first in line on a lovely Saturday afternoon, but wow that quickly changed. By the time I placed my order, at least 10 other people had come in. Since it was my first time, I asked for suggestions, Randy was so helpful. I was so hungry and everything sounded really good. I ordered the Shrimp BLT, a Fluffernutter Latte and a Ham & Cheese Croissant (for breakfast tomorrow). Oh my stars, the Shrimp BLT was pure perfection, every bite. The coffee was so good. There's plenty of seating inside and outside! It's super cute inside. The store part has all the cutest and neatest stuff and the food part has so many options. They even have grab and go items. They serve breakfast until 2:30. I'm already planning my next visit!!! Shoutout to Brian for making sure I had a great experience as well!!

Stopped into Parker & Otis on a Saturday morning while exploring Durham, and it was absolutely…read morebustling! It's a really fun store to wander through if you enjoy browsing. They have a huge variety of items--from home goods and specialty foods to books, toys, kitchen items, and unique gifts. If you're specifically looking for locally made Durham souvenirs, there aren't a ton of local artisan items, but there are still some fun Durham-themed finds. I picked up an adorable "Meet Me in Durham" sticker that made the perfect keepsake from my summer here. Definitely worth stopping in if you're downtown and have some time to explore. Plan for a crowd on Saturday mornings, but it's part of the lively atmosphere!

My Afro-Latina heart was so happy…read more I've been searching for really good Latin food since moving to North Carolina, and Boricua Soul absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was on point. They were playing great music that made the whole place feel lively and welcoming, and I loved that you can choose to eat inside or enjoy the outdoor patio. My husband and I both ordered the Boricua Soul Bowl. He got the chicken, and I got the pernil. The pernil was incredible it was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The bowl came with arroz con gandules, collard greens, mac and cheese, and I chose the tostones. I had honestly given up on finding good tostones that I didn't have to make myself, but these were exactly what I'd been craving. Crispy, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious with the Guava Lava sauce. Since, I couldn't pass them up, we also ordered a side of maduros, and they were perfectly caramelized and sweet. The empanadas easily made my top five. Crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and gone way too quickly. Also don't skip the watermelon lemonade, it was so refreshing and paired perfectly with everything we ordered. We'll definitely be back. There are still so many things on the menu I want to try, but I already know I'll be ordering the Boricua Soul Bowl. One tip for first-time visitors: if you're sitting inside and trying to get back outside , the exit is the same door you originally came in through on the far glass door. There is a sign, but we watched three different people accidentally try every other part of the glass first, so hopefully this saves someone a little confusion.

I'm from Charlotte and my friend was in the southeast visiting so we met up in Durham. ChatGPT…read moresuggested Boricua Soul as a part of our girls day. First stop. We never made it anywhere else lol! I'm so excited to write this review!! We chose it because when I reviewed the Yelp reviews they were stellar. But mostly I was super intrigued by the sweet potato cheesecake empanada and y'all it was everything I hoped it would be. It's small, you can maybe get 4 or 5 bites. The filling is sweet but not overpowering, good balance. The crust, crunchy and delicious. Came with a side of whipped cream. Drizzled in caramel sauce. I had the restraint to save it for last. We opted to split the shrimp sandwich and house made chips because we weren't too hungry and wanted to save room for the empanadas. Perfect plan. The sandwich can be ordered with a garlic, jerk or buffalo sauce. We were given a sample of the jerk to determine spicyness. Super spicy (which I loved) but my friend doesn't so we went with buffalo which wasn't spicy at all. The shrimp were a nice size, coated and seasoned well. The restaurant itself is small with about five tables but there is an abundance of outdoor seating shared with other businesses. We knew we planned to relax and catch up so we opted to eat outside. Despite the 90 degree weather, the entire area was shaded with a little wind so perfect. We got a number and our food and drinks were served to us. (Peach passion froze----yum!) Now. Boricua Soul is a great example of why I love seeking out and patroning local restaurants. The founders, Serena and Tori Fredericks, were both present, Serena managing the front, Tori managing the kitchen and both in and out of the restaurant serving people outside as well as inside. They were all over! Very welcoming. We were there for four hours and Serena's smile never left her face. She personally checked on us throughout. It felt like hanging out at your family's for the day. When we came in just a few people there, no line. Serena was at the register. I told her I came from Charlotte and she graciously gave us samples of the mac and cheese and collard greens as she described the menu. Both by the way, amazing! I don't think I've ever been able to find delicious perfectly seasoned greens with no meat. Before we knew it the line was to the door. By then I had the chance to experience her love for what she does and her heart for the community. Clean restaurant, beautiful and personable decor. Clean gender neutral private bathrooms. I took pics of the article on the wall about them, well worth the read. You too will drive miles to experience this Caribbean and Southern inspired restaurant! Im coming back and bringing people. There's so much more for me to try.

I got the protein bowl, and it was entirely bland, not only that, but the texture was completely off balance, and I can't say it's because of the chia seeds. Service is nice, the lady sits on her phone until someone comes in, though; and she didn't put extra cacao nibs like I had asked. However, the extra two stars are because the inside is cute, they have nice music, and some cool little icebreakers on the tables. Twelve dollars for a bowl that left me dissatisfied, and quite literally with a bad taste in my mouth. I wish I wasn't being this harsh, but I have been to many a smoothie place, and this place was frankly disappointing.

Such a gem! I loved having cuisine I've never had before…read more I made a reservation, but when I arrived, i realized there would of been availability without reservation. They had my table ready and were very warm in their welcome. I hadnt had food like this before and the staff was kind in taking time to explain the dishes and make recommendations. I have the dova rice and pili piri chicken wings. The wings were spicy, nutty, juicy. So delicious! The rice dish went so well with the chicken. It had peanuts in it and the texture of the rice was so unique. It was a match made in heaven. The ambiance is so elegant and calming. I'm glad i was able to come in casual attire and not feel out of place. It was nice to see people outside the restaurant peacefully staring at the waterfalls. I'm so glad i got to try this restaurant during my trip in Durham I was so memorable.

Place has good ambience and nice feel to it. Service was average…read more It is a tapas kind restaurant so service is different than regular places. Food is served as it is cooked. We made reservations for four and it was easy. Though when we reached it was not busy at all Unfortunately the two tapas that we wanted to order were not available may be because we were there around 7, but that is not a justification because our choices got very limited Cauliflower was mediocre with a large floret on the top of peanut/coconut sauce, and vegan crab cake was average with a peri peri kinda sauce at bottom, but corn was really good though I had to use my hands to eat because cob was attached. Goat was good with tomato based curry and have bits in the curry and pieces as well but the qty of pieces was too less, chicken wings are extremely good, they melt in your mouth..mocktails were yummy but I found the quantity very less with lot of ice in the glass... my husband enjoyed his old fashion tamarind drink with bourbon, though we could not taste the tanginess of tamarind... water was at room temperature ...overall a ok place for a relaxing dinner but not compelling enough for me to drive again 40 minutes. Place definitely felt overpriced for the amount of food ...

The airport its self is very large and we did have trouble with AA in getting our paid luggage tag. Machine not working. Staff telling us different things as to get it fixed. But finally we were taken care of. At that time of the morning TSA was quiet and we got right through. We arrived at the airport at midnight from Charlotte but we had to call for the shuttle because it was taking a long time for the bus to come up to the second deck to get us. But a lady had just reported in and she came and got us. She apologized that we had to wait, which was nice of her. She was pleasant and got us right to our vehicle. Again, great service from the shuttle staff. My only complaint is that we could not find the parking area for economy that was supposed to be $12 a day. We ended up at express which was $18 a day. We were told the old parking lot way out in the back had been replaced and was now for employees. It's a long drive for me to use this airport. The only thing I would suggest is that the signage be clearer for the parking areas and make sure the website is properly updated.

They have an incredible selection of notebooks, pens, markers, gel pens, and highlighters, along with so many cute accessories, pen cases, and pencil pouches. It was honestly hard to narrow down what to buy because there were so many great options! One thing I especially appreciated was that they have test paper available so you can try pens before purchasing. As someone who's picky about how a pen writes, this was such a thoughtful touch and made choosing so much easier. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, and they made the whole experience even better. While I was there, I also overheard that they're expecting a large Hobonichi shipment, with planners arriving in-store around September 1st--great news for fellow stationery lovers! I left with purchases I absolutely love, and I'll definitely be making Parke Paper Co. a stop anytime I'm back in the Durham area.
