The green bean fries were phenomenal with the cry baby Craig's aioli, definitely one of my favs. Some delicious appetizers and pizza to pick from, and a nice extensive drink menu. If you aren't as adventurous they do offer your traditional Margherita and pepperoni pizza. The restaurant was super nice inside. Service was a little slow for not being very busy, but overall we enjoyed our meal.

In the two years that it's been in AV, I've never realized it until searching for an ice cream spot that was 1.) local and 2.) actually open this time of year AND in the evening. Ample parking makes it easy in/ easy out. The decor inside is adorable, not to mention the yummy smells from the popcorn. They have such a wide variety of gourmet popcorn to choose from, it was almost difficult to pick just 1 flavor! I ended up deciding on the Blueberry Pecan. The boys that were working there were incredibly nice. They even let me sample the caramel corn which was delicious! I couldn't help but get some ice cream too. I decided on 3 scoops which included Monster cookie, Maple Bourbon Nut, and Praline Caramel. Although it's "just Kemps" ice cream it was delicious and honestly much better than some other former ice cream spots I've been too. The customer service was wonderful as well. The boys working were very nice, efficient and held great conversation. I also appreciated how clean and tidy the store was. Definitely a hidden gem in a great location in AV. I'll be a regular customer here after this first visit, and encourage you to stop in here for a scoop (or 2 or 3 lol) of ice cream and some gourmet popcorn!

We specifically like getting hot queso, guaca, and Tinga from the deli. They can also make you taco and other items for lunch/dinner right at the deli. It's all delicious! My only two complaints are: the deli ordering area itself is awkward to order from. The second there's more than 2 people, it feels crowded and uncomfortable. It's also right next to their house chips and salsa, which are popular items. Maybe they should move them to a place that's not so crowded and busy. Overall the deli ordering area is a massive layout issue. The self-checkouts are also almost never on. It's really annoying. They are right there, but almost never usable. If they aren't going to let me use them, they should just remove them. If would actually be the perfect area to give more space when ordering at the deli. Would solve the layout issue. Overall: go here and get their house chips, tres leches cake towards the back, and some deli items/meals. But be prepared for an awkward layout at the deli, if it's even a little busy.

I always end up leaving…read morewith more bags of fresh veggies and fruit then I can carry so I have to bring a friend or take multiple trips Sometimes Karl's soap will be there and he makes the best soap ever. I literally bought 60 bars last year, which he gave me a deal on at $3 a bar (usually $4 each). The meat vendor has the best brats I've ever had as well. They are pricey at $7.50 for only 4 brats but they are worth it. They also cook and serve fresh brats during the market. My favorites are Italian Mozzarella and the chicken brats. Send me a comment if you have one of those 2 brats and they aren't the best you've ever had, I would like to know where I can get better Fresh bouquet of flowers for only $5! I'm sure this is available at most markets, but have to mention it. If I ever get remarried I will speak to those guys about furnishing my wedding. They have an EBT station which is a great idea but don't see many taking advantage of it. Saw my first food truck this year (2013) so maybe this will be a good spot to eat each Thursday if more catch on. However the brats are so amazing that I'm not sure if I would stop getting those anytime soon Perfect place for someone who wants to juice. Most veggies are only $1 to $2 a bag so you can budget $20 and have a weeks worth of juice.

A chocolate lovers paradise! This chocolate shop has so many types of chocolate treats. The caramel…read morepecan chocolates are delicious. The store has cups of chocolate organized by type (fruity, peanut butter, nuts, etc). Next to most of the chocolates are buckets with individually packaged cups holding samples, so it's nice to try it before purchasing. It is on the pricier side, with a lot of the smaller cups being around $15-20 each. The quality and taste is worth it though! They also have a punch card where you get a free cup of chocolate after purchasing 12 cups. They offer free gift wrapping which is a nice touch. Service is friendly. The shop is located in a strip mall with plenty of free parking available.

They also have signature bowls you can order if you aren't sure what to get. The staff is genuinely friendly, which always makes a difference, and the space is clean and well kept. Fish is good for Minnesota and I love the convenience of grabbing a healthy bowl when looking for a quick bite to eat.

The fish is always as fresh as Minnesota fish can be ;) great topping choices and you definitely can't skip the eel sauce drizzle at the end! A great serving for the price! We will definitely be keeping HPB in our rotation!

The store was super clean and the employees were friendly enough. I was especially amazed by the giant piles of bones for sale in front of the store. I was alittle sad beacuse I had actually went out to eat before comming in and actually diddnt need anything for dinner. Next time I want a BBQ at home, ill be back!

Its owner was an elderly, vagrant man who was standing quite a distance away. I told him the dog needed to be on a leash. When I checked out at Aldis I mentioned the incident to the clerk and she said "oh we know that, he's a nice dog. I told her it was against the law to have a dog unleashed and I would talk to someone else who could address the situation. Other than that I purchased several food products which were of a very poor quality: One was a container of regular potato salad. The potatoes were very raw and the flavor was totally mustard. I purchased a coffee cake that was so dry It was hardly palatable. I will not be shopping at this store again.

The organic produce is also a good value. They even have gifts and other household items sometimes. Tonight I found a huge laundry basket with a divider for $6.99. This store still had some holiday clearance. Cashier was nice and she needed to call for back up as it got busy. You pay and then bag or in my case put items in new laundry basket, at a separate counter. Aldi saves by not hiring people to rustle carts in the parking lot. Bring your cart back to corral and get your quarter back or give cart to a new customer if you are generous. The store is a couple of years old and still fairly clean. A plus is Hawaii Poke Bowls is nearby.
