Visited Shores Sisters recently after a friend highly recommended the place to me (she visits…read moreregularly). They were - and still are - in the midst of a pretty significant plant sale (annuals, perennials, indoor/house plants, succulents, etc). Ultimately, I do think the timing of my visit during this sale impacted my experience. For one, the assortment of indoor/house plants & succulents was minimal and generic by the time I got there. While I was able to grab some herb plants and a Aeonium Kiwi succulent that I had been looking for, there was a pretty significant amount of the plant inventory that was looking pretty sad and wilted. Inside of the market is another tidbit that could see a bit of improvement, perhaps. While there's a nice variety, it also feels crowded. I've been to similar markets and they try to create aisle ways that allow for carts in both directions, etc - but that's not really possible at Shores Sisters. On a busier day, navigating the aisles feels like a bit of a cluster. Also, because of the location of the checkout area? Any backup in the checkout queue means folks spilling out into the already crowded aisles that people are trying to navigate through. It's not great. That said, the market does have a nice selection of jarred goods, produce, baked items, and so on. Perhaps one of my only disappointments with what was available in the market was, for example, that I went to grab a container of strawberries and it had a Dole label on it. I can get those anywhere... I was hoping for something supplied more locally. In terms of the cafe experience, I ordered the sandwich special: a blackberry grilled cheese (a grilled cheese with bacon and a spicy blackberry jam). It was noted that the blackberry jam was low spice, but I honestly tasted barely any spice at all... and I was looking for it (and I tend to pick up on spice/heat pretty easily, so I was surprised). I had also ordered a taro milk boba tea... and while the taro flavor was good, the tapioca pearls hadn't been cooked enough. Tapioca pearls have to be cooked in order to allow for their softer/gummy-type texture, and my tapioca pearls has a softer outside, for the most part, but almost all of them were undercooked and thus still harder on the inside. It was unpleasant. TL;DR. I'm trying to chalk up my feelings about this place to them being low on inventory because of the sale + having been busier than usual. That said, it's a decent drive (over an hour), and today's experience doesn't necessarily motivate me to hurry up and return. Maybe some day, but it'll be timed very differently.
