REI in Durham is my go to place for trail running shoes…read more They have great brands like Altra and Saucony to name a few. I've always gotten excellent service while shopping here for running shoes. Maddy has helped me on two different occasions with picking out shoes, she does a phenomenal job at suggesting shoes and giving you time to make decisions and not making you feel rushed. Great value on trail items like backpacks, shoes, socks, bikes/biking gear and other items. Definitely check out REI in Durham *I live in Raleigh but, travel to Durham to go to this REI.

It is high quality and very comfortable which is what REI produces all the the time. My brother loves REI and swears by their product because it has great value for the price and lasts a long time. The service is Ok at REI and the staff are very knowledgeable about the products. They are willing to help you out and answer any questions you may have on their clothes. REI has a wonderful selection of products and is very top notch quality 100% on all of their products. They are a bag free store which is great for the environment. REI is a great store and you get a valuable product for the price you pay for on whatever you purchase at the store. That is all I have to say about REI.

It took me more than a year of coming here to write a review for Yonderlust, mostly because I'm…read moresurprised by how much this place grew on me. Yonderlust is more than just a coffee shop--it's one of those spaces where you can easily spend an entire afternoon without realizing how much time has passed. It's a fantastic study and work spot: a mix of table sizes, plenty of outlets, and a relatively quiet, calm environment that makes it easy to settle in. It has solid coffee: Drinks here are consistently pretty good. I usually go for their Campfire Latte (a signature for a reason) or whatever seasonal syrup they're featuring, and their matcha latte is reliable too. It has actual, warm food: simple but satisfying sandwiches with enough variety to make for a perfect study snack or light lunch. I am often disappointed when coffee shops only offer cold pastries. It has entertainment: I love taking a quick study break to browse the shop's outdoor gear and clothing; it honestly feels a little like being transported to the West Coast for a moment (give me some Oregan vibes!). Service has always been quick and friendly. I wouldn't say any single thing here is the best in Durham--but together, it is special! There are many days when I find myself craving a few cozy hours at Yonderlust, followed by a quick dessert next door at Rose's.

Bottom line: Pretty nice coffee shop cafe adjacent to/sharing space with an apparel shop. Crowded…read moreeven on a Sunday. Clean inviting atmosphere, I enjoyed my hot skim latte here. The Deets: I had brunch with some friends that live in Durham and after the meal, they directed me to stop into Yonderlust for a coffee beverage stop instead of having one at the restaurant. We stopped by and ducked into the cafe side...I say cafe side as 2/3 of the space there is an outfitters/apparel shop and the other part houses the coffee shop/cafe. The cafe side (as well as the apparel shop) is very nicely done inside, very appealing and clean. The coffee seating area was packed, it appears to be a great place to stop and sit/work a spell even on a Sunday. Ordering moved through fairly quickly and I put in my request for a hot skim latte to the very nice and positive person at the register. The wait was not long before my beverage was completed, and your beverage/name are both called out to pick up when it's ready. I did manage to find one lone chair to sit and drink my tasty beverage while my friends did some shopping in the apparel side. I enjoyed my latte, I'd most definitely stop in again when in the area.

How is it possible for them to host "major liquidation" and "going out of business" sales for SEVERAL years?? Not only do the sales people make you feel extremely uncomfortable while you're trying to shop, but they don't even honor their discounts on half of the items they sell! I have visited the store quite a few times, each time I've left disappointed. I've interacted with a few different staff members and they're all unapologetically rude. I will be happy to drive farther to a different store, that sells the same items! If this company doesn't go out of business for real, they really need to make some major changes if they expect to keep any customers.
