In Short
This local favorite is the perfect place to sit back, have a cup of java and catch up on some reading or unwind with a game of chess. Something in one of the many floor-to-ceiling stacks of cheap used books, records and CDs is bound to catch your fancy. The Skylight hosts a broad range of local talent on its intimate, coffeehouse stage--everything from rock to jazz to folk, with the occasional touring band dropping by.

I can't wait to visit Skylight Exchange again! The menu is remarkable - so many unique sandwiches, it would take a lifetime to try them all. I have the Broccoli Chopper - WOW! I want another now! Dennis is an incredible host, the book selection is great and well labeled. OH, and I don't know the name of the chocolate brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream and served in a huge mug, but it's too rich and tasty to believe. If you're in Chapel Hill, you owe it to yourself to seek out the Skylight Excnange experience.

not sure why this place is listed as a restaurant. people do not really go there for the food, but for the unique atmosphere that this funky used book store / sandwhich shop hybrid provides. some nights the nightlight exchange serves as a casual backdrop for dance parties of the international student body of UNC. a sunny spot for shady people. PROS: great reuben CONS: not for the sunlight lover

You'd miss it if you blinked, but tucked away near the tiendas on Rosemary St. is a great venue for small scale performances and used books and records. I visited Skylight Exchange for a Tuesday night Dirty South Improv performance and was pleased with the friendly underground-esque atmosphere!
