I was delighted to find figs out of season that I could not find at Whole Foods. I dropped an item which a worker kindly picked up for me. I met a grade school youngster using the little cart and learning to pay for his purchase. It warmed my heart.

Absolutely Love this lovely little market. The deli department and meats and cheeses are delicious. I am visiting from Kansas City and having these small markets, close to home are so nice. The service is awesome and I love how we have great conversation with the staff

Good meat market but the prepared sides and veggies are very very expensive. $9.99 lb for quinoa salad and similar items is a lot. Sandwiches though are good and priced fair
