Picture of the Week: Biscuits & Coffee in Durham

Untitled

Wicked Biscuit at Cocoa Cinnamon

This week’s picture was actually taken last Sunday. My wife and I headed over to Durham to grab some coffee and tea at Cocoa Cinnamon. It is one of my favorite coffee shops and we enjoy sitting outside among their patio tables and people watch. This past summer food trucks have started showing up at the shop for “Sunday Brunch” and while the trucks tend to rotate, one of the regular trucks you can find there on Sunday is the relatively new Wicked Biscuit truck. I didn’t get the opportunity to try a biscuit on this visit (we were on our way to the park) but I plan to do so very soon. In the meantime you can track the truck to find out where they will be by following them on twitter at @WickedBiscuitCo.

Cocoa Cinnamon ~ 420 W. Geer Street – Durham, NC

I couldn’t possible share about Cocoa Cinnamon without at least one coffee picture! On this visit I tried their Middle Eastern Iced Coffee. Their menu describes it as a slow and cold brewed iced coffee brewed with cardamom, rose petals and vanilla bean. I found it delicious and I highly recommend it if you are looking for something a little different the next time you want an iced coffee. Cocoa Cinnamon is a great community space and one of my go to places in Durham. To keep tabs on their latest offerings and things going on at the shop follow them on twitter at @CocoaCinnamon.

Picture of the Week: Bulltown Strutters at Weaver Street Market

The Bulltown Strutters Playing at Weaver Street Market ~ Carrboro, NC

This week’s picture was taken at the Carrboro 4th of July celebration. I was there playing my trombone with The Bulltown Strutters on the Weaver Street Market lawn. Following a short set we lead the people’s parade to the town commons for the 4th of July Festival. I love making trips to Carrboro becasue it gives me a chance to visit one of my favorite coffee shops, The Open Eye Cafe. I highly recommend exploring downtown Carrboro, especially on Saturday’s when you can start your day at the awesome Farmers’ Market. Carrboro is a great little Triangle community to visit.

Picture of the Week: “Stuft” – The Gourmet Stuffed Potato Food Truck!

Untitled

Yesterday I made a quick stop at Big Boss Brewery to snap this picture of “Stuft” – a gourmet stuffed potato food truck that is relatively new on the Triangle food truck scene. I didn’t get a chance to try their menu, but I never met a carb I didn’t like and can’t wait to try some of their food soon. For more food truck action make sure you follow my friend Art over at The Wandering Sheppard. He has the scoop on all the new food trucks and shares weekly updates on the latest Food Trucks events like the upcoming Downtown Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo this Sunday from 1-6pm.

Picture of the Week – Boulted Bread!

Boulted Bread – Coming Soon!

This week’s photo captures a new Triangle bakery is in the works. Boulted Bread is in the process of renovating a site located at 614 W. South Street in downtown Raleigh. This is over by the historic Boylan Heights neighborhood. Note the “Bread” sign on the left. The pictures of their test batches of bread on their facebook page look amazing. I’m really looking forward to their opening and will plan to do a full post once they open for business later this summer. In the meantime you can follow them using the links below for updates and pictures of their great looking bread!

Picture of the Week – Beer with a View!

Sitti Downtown Raleigh

Beer with a view in Raleigh

After a few brutal weeks of cold and wet weather we finally had a few beautiful days to enjoy this past weekend. My wife and I took advantage of this welcome change in temperature and headed out to explore downtown Raleigh. The picture above was take while enjoying lunch at Sitti, a great Lebanese restaurant. We had  seats located by the windows looking out to activity on the sidewalk and intersection of Hargett & Wilmington Streets. The green building in the background is Holly Aiken’s shop “Stitch” with patrons from Raleigh Times Bar enjoying some rooftop dining.
