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.

Very cute new coffee shop!

I got an iced decaf americano with vanilla, which was delicious and came in a glass since they knew I was sticking around. They have a lot of seating and the whole place feels bright, airy, open and clean. They also have a cute store on the left hand side of the space that sells outdoor clothing, shoes and gear. A welcome addition to the area!

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.

NOT impressed with this place! I really hate to leave a negative review anywhere, but this place…read moredeserves it. 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.

It really depends on what you're looking for when you come, but I have managed to find ammo and…read moresome other things for a good price when on sale. Otherwise it's expensive. The service there was pretty decent and the staff were nice /helpful. My favorite part about the shop is just the fact that they put so much energy into how it looks. There are scenes everywhere with taxidermy and replicas. Geese and ducks "flying" (hanging) near the ceiling. And they do have a large fish tank there with live fish. Overall I feel like you pay for the experience when you are there too

"Manager" Roger is a complete tool! I was #15 in a line of 16 patrons trying to check out at 4:00…read moreon a Friday. There was only ONE cashier. I asked the greeter (drowsy guy in beige and white) if he could call a manager to get some more cashiers. About 5 mins later Roger waddles up and is all confrontational, "Did you need something?" I said, "Yes, wanted to let y'all know we're over a dozen deep in line here." "We're working on it," barks Roger with a condescending tone. Then does an about face. To their credit and being fair, they did get another two cashiers a while later. But why the attitude, why the aggressiveness? I was just trying to spend my money in this establishment and I get bad-vibed? I love Bass Pro, but today's experience really drives home the fact that a good shopping experience is about a lot more than price and selection. Crappy employees can take what could have been a positive and turn it memorably negative.

They didn't, but were great in directing me to a shop that was able to fill my needs about 10mins away. They have a HUGE selection of Patagonia goods as well as camping/living essentials like Yeti tumblers. I found the better sweater in the color I'd been eyeing for a while and was able to get it! All the brands that I saw are QUALITY stuff- brands that stand behind their goods when life happens. Lots of great outerwear options whether you're hiking a trail or just down Franklin St. Really great and friendly staff. Will definitely be back to browse more.

It took some convincing to get him to the Carrboro location, but it was crowded and my dad got frustrated with the wait. Gina at Southpoint was available as soon as we walked in, and her sunny personality put him instantly at ease. She got him on the foot scan, listened to his wish list and brought out a few different pairs that fit the bill. They didn't have the color he wanted in stock, but she gave us all the info we needed to order them online - a happy convenience as they'll be shipped directly to his house. Five stars for Gina and Fleet Feet Southpoint!
