Good little market with some bare essentials. Most products approach Whole Foods tier. Great wine selections!

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.

Love Bulldega! They have a little bit of everything and the prices are reasonable. Only wish they were open later.

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.

Been shopping here for over a year - took 5 minutes to check-out for under 5 items because they didn’t know what they were doing. After all said and done, they didn’t even credit my membership account for a $60 purchase and said they would have to do it all over again. That’s not customer service, and blaming the customer for their own mistakes. Just credit my account and move on

Once again another store to gentrify Durham. Only rich white folk shop here. It’s incredibly over-priced and uppity. Shop anywhere else literally anywhere. All of the produce looked bad, peppers were clearly expired and moldy

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!❤️

Was looking for a vegan sandwich or salad. I noticed vegan salad dressing but none of the sandwiches or salads had details on them about what was in it. I asked the lady at the register and she said “the rainbow sandwich is vegan and is made of hummus “ since there was no name on them I asked her to show the sandwich and she did. I went back to my hotel and when I opened the sandwich I realized that there was some kind of meat inside of it. Walked all the way back to the store and there was another girl at the register, I told her my story and she did not say anything just asked my credit card for a return! I said “ no sorry or something for the mistake and making me walking all the way back to your store?”And again she did not reply!Unprofessional and rude staff! Terrible management( packaged foods need information on them)Never ever again!

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.

Review №22

Living downtown, its nice to have an option to grab things quickly. The prices are a little high and they often dont have what Im looking for, but again, its a nice option. The staff is always really friendly so that is always a plus!!

Super cute little market with everything you need. Stopped by to see it they carried a local ice cream brand (which they did) and also found a nice North Carolina cutting board.

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!

Review №26

Its a nice little market in the middle of town, with a bunch of local items. It feels... Interesting. When I think of a bodega I think of quick cheap items, but these items are quite pricey. It feels like a trader Joes than a bodega. Regardless of that they have a wide variety of wines and snacks.

Review №27

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 isnt 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.

Neat little grocery shop downtown. Incredible wine and beer selection. High quality meats, and although quaint Id 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.

For those who live or work in downtown Durham, Bulldega is very conveniently located. The staff is helpful and friendly and I enjoy the experience of shopping there.I usually only go to Bulldega to buy one or two things that Ive run out of. The store is quite small so I usually call to make sure they have what I want before I walk over.

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.

The “manager” on duty gave me attitude and got in my face about my card not working. after three attempts i asked to have the other cashier run my order. she informed the “manager” that the register he was using didn’t accept cards with a chip. she rang me up successfully on the first try. i don’t know why the “manager” wouldn’t have known this and why he went out of his way to make me feel bad about their broken reader.

Love you guys but please open on time Ive been there from 6:30-7 and your new hours are 6:30 M-F and about 2/12 times Ive arrived in that time frame 6:30-7 you guys have been open. I see the lights on but the door is locked, the lights are off in the fridge and this happens all the time. By the time I get there I dont have time to get to another store, I just want to support you guys.

Review №44

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.

Bulldega is surprisingly well-stocked for a quaint neighborhood market! The wine offerings, organized by price, are extensive, and even though the meat and produce selection is small, its good quality at a not unreasonable price.
