The location is a little tucked away, which some folks describe as being in the cut, but people who make the trip say it's worth it and often wonder why the place isn't busier. We'll be honest, the crowd is a touch split. Most walk out happy with the help they got, though we've heard the occasional grumble about product knowledge or an off day at the counter. Those are the exception, and the through-line is a clean shop, a friendly welcome, and a selection that keeps Durham coming back.
