Located in Durham, North Carolina there is a delightful little cafe by the name of Cocoa & Cinnamon. Stacey recently had the opportunity to shoot this adorable shop and to show some of the unique qualities that it holds. Cocoa & Cinnamon not only offers a great cup of joe but has lots of teas, chocolates and many spices as well! We love the atmosphere of this fun local shop! If you are ever in the Durham area, you should give them a try, you wont regret it!
Cheers,
Natalie
Want to try some Spanish inspired tapas with a Southern twist? Mateo bar de Tapas in Durham is wonderfully delicious and has such a warm feel.
I loved everything we tried there and especially I remember the roasted spring onions. Owner Matthew Kelly told us how the onions are sold all over the streets in Spain. We had a small sampling of the many plates offered – Patatas Bravas, Gambas, Alemendras and of course some jamon. Seriously yummy.
Mateo’s also has an impressive offering of sherry. We didn’t get to try any since it was on the job but the beautiful painted menu on the mirrors looked amazing!
Can’t wait to go back again soon!
I love my job everyday but I especially love it when it allows me to meet inspiring people! I photographed Chef Katie Button at her fantastic restaurant Cúrate in Asheville for Garden & Gun magazine earlier this year (see more of the story here). I found Chef Button’s enthusiasm for food catchy and the food at Cúrate delicious! We always suggest people stop by Cúrate if they are going to Asheville. And yesterday we were excited to read that Button will now be doing a cookbook and we wanted to say a big congratulations from all of us at Stacey Van Berkel Photo!
