The Common Market
Durham.

Common Market Durham is a vibrant community hub located in the heart of the Ninth Street social district, just outside downtown Durham on the west side of Duke University’s campus. It celebrates local flavor, inclusiveness, and connection in a setting that blends the energy of the university with the charm of surrounding neighborhoods.

This bustling deli, bar, and bottle shop offers hand-crafted sandwiches, house-made sides, and a rotating selection of artisanal goods (many sourced from nearby farmers and makers). You will also find a curated selection of wine, packaged and draft beer, unique gifts, cards, and convenient grab-and-go options, making it an easy stop for a snack, beverage, or thoughtful item.

The space draws a lively mix of students, locals, and visitors from neighborhoods like Old West Durham, Trinity Park, and Morehead Hill. Inside, guests can enjoy local favorites like The Parlour Junior, known for its imaginative ice cream flavors, and Mid Bloom Coffee, a cozy café serving expertly brewed coffee.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick espresso, enjoying lunch with friends, or winding down with a cold beer, Common Market Durham is a warm and welcoming space where community and creativity thrive.
