Ninth Street Bakery

Absolutely freakin' fantastic bread at a fair price. And in honor of Pride Month, they even flour stenciled some of the loaves with LGBTQ+ lettering. How thoughtful and supportive is that? The loaf we got was one of the best loaves of bread I've ever eaten. It toasted so well with a crispy crust but still hearty, bready inside. Great with just butter, or butter and cheese or charcuterie. All I can say is I'm actually glad this place is in Durham rather than Asheville, or I'd be eating basically nothing but their bread.P.S. It smells great if you even just walk by this place.

Pastries are better than the sandwiches. The bread was too dense for sandwiches surprising as it's a big bakery.

When I lived in Durham, this place was on ninth street, but it's got a lot of lovely seating outside it certainly couldn't have before. It was easy to find good, veggie-friendly food. Very reasonable prices, and great bread, of course! Our insanely picky child just wanted dessert.

My friend and I came by for some morning pastries. I ordered the bear claw and my friend got the banana bread. The bear claw was very sweet, flakey, and flavorful! The banana bread was moist and not too sweet. Overall, I would definitely return for more pastries!

Just had the chicken salad sandwich on the 7 grain bread and it was AMAZING. 10/10 would recommend!! Also, bonus for the fresh bread smell in this place!

I bought a package of the CHOCOLATE MMM HMM gluten free cookies at the Wednesday Farmers Market in Durham. The person helping me directed me to these dairy free gluten free cookies which were delicious! They were described as fudgy and decadent and did not disappoint.

Enjoyed the sandwiches, egg salad and Zats what I'm talking about. Cole slaw vinegary but good by me, not to my date's taste. Popular with the lunch crowd both eat in and take out.

We bring groups to Ninth Street Bakery all the time. Their sandwiches, soups and pastries are so fresh. The staff are great to work with too. We love siting outside and since it is covered we are good outside most of the year. There's a reason Ninth Street has been around since 1981. Highly recommend.

Consistently great food and wonderful staff. Good array of goods available for purchase to go, and great lunch options to sit in and have or to go. Casual atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. My go to lunch spot.

Best pastries in the triangle. Fresh, delicious, and always a significant variety in offerings. You're guaranteed to find something you love!
