Tomorrow is National Iced Tea Day! To celebrate, we’ll be switching out our typical coffee samples for some fresh cold-brewed blueberry tea from our friends at Friendship Organics. Be sure to show up early- we're not sure how long this delicious beverage will last! We can't wait to show you how refreshing this ethically-sourced, small batch tea can be.

We miss a lot of things, particularly you BUT not everything...

Our new normal of not working at The Palace has required us to make many adjustments, but we want you all to know we are hard at work preparing to reopen a new location as soon as possible. These last few months have been challenging since it's only been my sister, mom, and me. We appreciate everyone's support, patience, and understanding as we work through these adjustments. We miss you all very much, although we're not losing sleep over everything (see picture below).

We are partnering with Durham delivers (https://www.durhamdelivers.org/) to offer our menu for pick-up at Oval Park tomorrow at 6 pm. Please help support us as we transition by ordering some food for tomorrow.

Down, but not out!

Last month we officially closed a chapter in The Palace International's legacy that has brought so many memories and lessons. We've never taken for granted the staff, friends, and community we consider our "family," who have always supported us through it all.

As we continue our search for our next home, we are proud to announce we are partnering with Durham delivers (https://www.durhamdelivers.org/) to offer our menu for pick-ups. Please help support us as we transition by ordering some food for tomorrow.

The family hopes to reopen in a new location

02/18/2021

Unfortunately after 14 years at our Broad street location, we found out two weeks ago that our landlord has decided not to renew our lease. We were unable to negotiate a lease extension, giving us only 30 days to move out. Although we're sad to be losing the space we've called home for so long, we are hopeful that this is the beginning of a new chapter. We are currently looking for a new space to continue serving our dear community.

This abrupt announcement is both disheartening and uncomfortable after working so hard and succeeding in staying open during COVID, paying bills, and supporting our staff through so many obstacles.

We have every intention to reopen The Palace and to pick up where we've left off. We look forward to serving you as soon as we can. With immense love and admiration The Palace family.

How can you help?
