Update: As everyone knows, Bulldega has now moved to One City Center and is a much bigger, airier, and brighter space. They have more dry goods, pantry items, local meat products, cheese, etc. And the wine and beer sections have expanded. They have seating in the suite as well. Nice location, but a bit further from the parking deck unless you park at Unscripted.

Great place for local food items and beverages and also specialty groceries. Also very nice beer and wine section. Definitely a neighborhood gem.

Great find in the heart of bull city! Fantastic and friendly staff! A little bit of everything you'll ever need ~including wines, beers, aromatherapy, etc!!! Highly recommend stopping by ~Show your love to Durham....bullcity!!

Great local market, I love being able to walk down and get something we forgot while making dinner. And wine. Mostly wine.

One of the greatest selection of Wines and Beers in North Carolina Durham-Triangle Area with pairing of cheeses,meats,salad bar and Grab&Go Sandwiches. Best prices and specialty food. Love Wine tastings on Friday evening.

Great urban grocery. Lots of healthy brands and tasty indulgences as well. Many locally sourced products. Friendly staff.

I absolutely love this little neighborhood gem. I grew up in NYC and know a good bodega when I see one.
A little bit of everything, this store is well stocked with fresh produce, local meats, baked goods and grocery items. Excellent wine selection and prepared food as well. Shop local!❤

This is one of the best additions to downtown Durham! The staff is so friendly and they have a nice selection of beer and wine. Free wine tastings every Friday make it a great place to end the work week. I work close by so it is a great place to grab a quick lunch or destination for an afternoon snack. Love how so many items are locally sourced it makes it easy to support the local community in so many ways.

Shopping at this store is an uplifting experience. It’s pretty awesome how you can choose from such a large selection in the middle of the city. The prices may be a bit high, but that’s a premium that one must accept in exchange for convenience.

It's pricey but the people that work there make me go back

Well curated items with an assortment of value priced delicacies. You can put together a full gourmet meal for 20 or an intimate tapas menu .Excellent wine and cheese selection. Great staff! Good salad bar!

This market, while pricey for certain items, does have affordable options for snacks and drinks. They also sell local made goods, pantry items, dairy, paper goods, etc. As others have previously stated, their wine selection is quite nice. The market is conveniently located walking distance from major downtown buildings which is a plus for me.

I roll into Durham several times a year to visit my parents. I love to stroll around the town trying new restaurants and poking my head into shops of all sorts. This is one wicked cool place! Everyone who works here is nice and oh-so knowledgeable. No, this isn't Wally-Mart, but they have pretty much just what you need, and of those things you want, the selection is even deeper. Definitely a chill place. I encourage you, even if you are passing by, to stop in and buy one thing, we need to keep places like this in business for a long time.

Cute little convenience shop with an excellent selection of gluten-free and vegan items. Prices run higher than your average market, but I am hoping that is because they pay their employees well and have higher overhead due to being small.

Cute bodega in the heart of the city. Fresh Mini deserts.

Neat little grocery shop downtown. Incredible wine and beer selection. High quality meats, and although quaint I'd much rather shop here then a larger store. They have some organic produce and know their suppliers well. Much more intimate shopping experience which I enjoy.

I pop in here to shop occasionally. I am always impressed by the utility of the things they stock and the broad selection for such a small store. For downtown residents there are limited shopping options and this fills the gap for everything from a lemon or head of local lettuce to beer and chocolate almonds. Impressive store with friendly staff.

Came across this gem looking for a gift for coworker. Nice wine selection and super friendly service with Shatiesha.
Will definitely return.

They sell the best turkey sandwich I have ever had.

Love this store, everyone is super friendly, prices are like a big grocery store, great variety, food is great, their tea and spices election is the best, and they have the cutest souvenirs!
If you haven’t visited, it’s a most in downtown Durham, come check it out and get a loco pop!
