The small town of Mountain View is lucky to have their own home-grown grocery store/hardware store/pharmacy with Benedict's.
I last visited Benedict's 10 years ago when the entrance way was decorated with taxidermy and the fresh veggie and prepared food offerings were slim. On this occasion I went in just hoping for some canned soup and tuna, and I was very pleasantly surprised by their renovations and much updated offerings!
I especially loved their fresh vegetable and fruit section which also had prepared salads and fruit cups. I was able to stock up on single-serving size items that were fresh (and not covered in plastic!), and was also impressed by the variety of artisanal and organic products throughout the market. What a transformation!
I will definitely give Benedict's more business on future trips! read more
