Boxyard RTP is full of favorite local restaurants & vendors. Keep track here.

Almost two years after it opened, the Boxyard RTP development is full of places where visitors can eat, shop around and have fun.

The development, a 15,000-square-foot space built out of shipping and cargo containers, is located between Raleigh and Durham in the Research Triangle Park, and is intended to be “a place where coworkers and members of the surrounding Triangle communities can meet, eat, connect and unwind inside the Park.”

The development opened in June 2021 with 13 permanent vendors and several pop-up ones, from big-name, local favorites to others new to the Triangle’s dining and retail scene.

As the Boxyard development continues to attract visitors to its unique space, we’ve compiled a list of vendors at the site — plus descriptions from the vendors and Boxyard — to help you navigate it all. We’ll update this story as vendors change, come and go from the space.

What restaurants are at Boxyard RTP?

▪ Beyú Caffè — A Durham favorite with a handful of locations, Beyú Caffè expanded to Boxyard as one of the development’s first vendors. The brand is “rooted in a love for coffee, community and bringing people together in a place where they can simply be themselves.” The Boxyard cafe offers coffee and tea, plus several food selections for breakfast and later-in-the-day fare. Grab your food and drinks to-go, or spend time in the “cool in-store vibe.” Find out more about the cafe and view the menu at beyucaffe.com.

▪ Bulkogi — Another local favorite, Bulkogi is best known for its food truck that serves up Korean barbecue fare in a variety of forms, from atop a traditional bed of rice to tacos and burritos. The popular truck established a permanent spot at Boxyard when the development opened in 2021, allowing the brand to “provide a unique experience” and “expand our creativity.” Learn more about Bulkogi and see the truck and Boxyard menus at bulkogi.com.

▪ Buzzy Bakes — A Boxyard vendor since the start of the development, Buzzy Bakes offers a variety of sweet treats, from cupcakes to cookies and more. The locally-owned bakery previously operated out of a vintage camper, but the permanent space at Boxyard has allowed the brand to “experiment with new flavors and create beautiful experiences for visitors.” Learn more about Buzzy Bakes at buzzybakes.com.

▪ Fullsteam RTP — One of the Triangle’s most well-known breweries, Fullsteam has two locations locally, including one at Boxyard. The brewery aims to “craft distinctly Southern beer that celebrates the farm and food traditions of the American South.” At the Fullsteam Boxyard location, look for pizza, sandwiches, wings and more — and, of course, plenty of beer options, plus wine, cider and cocktails, to wash it all down.

▪ Leroy’s Taco Shop — Another food vendor from the team at Lawrence Barbecue, Leroy’s Taco Shop is new to the Boxyard line-up.

Now, diners can enjoy those tacos and more in a space of their own, complete with beer offerings to complement them.
