Now a collection of businesses and organizations, the warehouses of the Brightleaf District once housed the tobacco that drove the economy of not just Durham, but North Carolina as a whole. Constructed in the late 19th and early 20th century, these Neo-Romanesque brick tobacco warehouses tell a story of Bull City. The Brightleaf District we know today connects the Durham community with its industrial roots.

The food was ok. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. I may have to try a different pizza because the fried chicken pizza wasn’t what I expected it wasn’t that good. The mozzarella sticks were A1 yuuum. The mexicam cokes were icing on the cake. I’d try it again.

There are some very unique restaurants and stores in Brightleaf Square with good variety. I will say that the diversity of stores is fairly good although they can be over priced depending on which store you're going to. Can't beat though that there is Market and Otis with a very large patio, Saint James with amazing seafood, Rose's with great eats and treats, Clouds Brewing, etc etc. Parking is available in 2 large lots.

Historic, fabulous, outdoor, walking shopping and eating district, loves and spent many fun days here. Satisfaction’s, Devine’s, Torreo’s long time staples in restaurants. School Kid Records, Bull City Olive Olive, boutiques, cafes, pastry and coffee shops, good place for kids and families. Parking it tight, few free wheelchair accessible parking spaces, small paid lot, some free parking near or behind some places like Devine’s. Downtown Durham parking is always tight or pay lot. Fun place, must visit when in Durham NC!

Not that much open on a Sunday morning and not that many people around - seems like this place may still be finding its footing as there are lots of empty shops and the restrooms were locked. That said, the Greek restaurant looked amazing, and the gift shops we went into were adorable and well curated. The building - a converted tobacco warehouse - is totally gorgeous!

It looks like it was some sort of warehouse at one point but has been renovated (very well, too!) had a nice, clean vibe… very quiet for early evening I would think…
