This place has a quaint atmosphere of an old-time country-store. The food is good, fresh, and the proportions are plentiful. Unfortunately, the menu is pretty limited if you have allergies, and they often can't omit items. Service is great.
This is a wonderful place to bring an out of town visitor for a quality meal with a good vibe.

I absolutely love foster’s! There’s not a ton of places with similar vibes to my favorite outdoor restaurants in Arizona, but this one does it. I love the market / restaurant combo and they have soooo many options for food and other cute things to take home. Everyone is also always super friendly

Foster's is a restaurant & craft market with a deli style cold salad counter. They have convenient grab n go containers of deli things as well as coffee and smoothies.
I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito for about $8. It was a pretty solid price for the meal but even with the salsa, the burrito was dry, bland, and stuffed with cold potatoes. Underwhelming. My girlfriend really enjoyed her toasted breakfast sandwich though!
The parking lot was an absolute nightmare both entering/exiting. Probably not at the will of the restaurant, mostly tourist chaos.

Foster’s Market is a cross between a local shop to a spot to grab some grub.
Your experience: Upon entering the market, you step into the “store” side, the menus hang above deli like counters. Then there are numerous team members readily available to assist when you’re ready to order. The team is friendly, yet being it a first experience the server crew taking our order was not quite up to speed on what menu offerings you can add to your meal order. We had to ask another team member on how to pay + what we had to do next as we went to find a spot to sit. The place offers extensive seating choices {inside + out}. The team members scribe your order, then hand you your paper order, and you then go over to the store side register to pay. {See picture of our Order + review on food}.
Store side: Offers a selection of goodies, from local pantry items that make great gifts for friends + family to candy + chips. They sell beer + wine too.

There is so much to say about Foster's! Eating here is an experience like your grandmother's best cooking, the farmers market, and a restaurant all at once. The food is made using local ingredients and has a vibrant flavor. Desserts are especially good, and you can also get a great cup of coffee. They have seating options indoors and outdoors, and you can even sit at a table in their garden area. It can get busy during lunch hour, but it is worth a visit!

I went to Foster’s Market for lunch and was very satisfied with the taste and quality of their food. Foster’s Market has a wide variety of food choices from breakfast, lunch and side dish salads. The service was also top notch, the waiter was very friendly and the food was brought to us quicker than expected. A must-go location for lunch if you are in and around the Durham area!

What a great little place! I came down to visit my sister and she took me here for breakfast one day. Tons of options, plus we grabbed some items for lunch later. Their scones were AMAZING and while we bought them to share, I kept my chocolate chip scone all to myself.
Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Truly wish we had a great place like this back in NJ!

Service 5/5, ambiance 5/5, food 4/5
The staff was very friendly and polite. Loved all the sitting around the restaurant and all of the different foods you can get at the market part of the store. Highly recommend the sour peach gummies, not too sour but you can really taste the peach flavor. The sour cherry jelly we bought to bring home is DELICIOUS!! Also the cheese straws were delicious also, a little over priced for the amount in the package.
For breakfast we ordered the berry pancakes and they were good. I got a side of eggs and they were cooked perfect and not dry or runny. My husband got the breakfast burrito and it had plenty of eggs and he added bacon and sausage a for extra charge. I got the single caramel latte it was ok I think I should had asked for a second shot of espresso because it was very mild coffee flavor and not hot enough.
The bathrooms were clean and well kept.

Ate lunch here with a friend for the first time wow the food is delicious! I had the chicken sandwich with red peppers and lettuce. I bought some desserts to go which were fantastic. The mixed berry pie is so so good and the crust is perfect. Will definitely be back! I love the market, the people and the whole vibe. It’s a one of a kind place in Durham and a gem. Parking could be troublesome but there is a good-sized lot and some street parking spots.
