However the food and coffee were ridiculously good. The breakfast sandwich was decent, but the highlight by far was the Italian sandwich. It was, far and away, the best version of that sandwich I have ever had. If I lived in the area I would travel a long ways just for that sandwich. Truly hope to be back!

Excellent spot to stop for a quick, quality lunch! Tried their ham + gruyere sandwich, with…read morerosemary ham, mixed greens, mayo, dijon mustard, lemon vinaigrette on sourdough. That ham! So yummy. Loved that the bread was so fresh and light as well, and slathered with a slightly more generous amount of sauce. Not in a heavy way though - loved that the lemon vinaigrette really brightened up the mustard & mayo. Delish! Also tried their Caesar salad. LOVED the crispy Parmesan chip, and the lemon anchovy vinaigrette. Pastry counter was full of delicious looking treats! We tried their homemade nutter butter cookie, which was actually kind of like a peanut butter cookie sandwich with the most delicious creme filling in between. Loved!

I must admit I have yet to try their prepared foods but they do look like they have a nice rotation of soups and made to order sandwiches, wraps, salads. making them a convenient place to stop to pick up provisions for a day at the beach or to pack a picnic for a hike.

I was interested in a raw food diet but was intimidated by the recipes I found online. Most had so…read moremany random ingredients making it less appealing and incredibly expensive. My friend and I decided to take Linda's intro. class @ Green Spirit and loved the experience. We were introduced to quick and easy raw recipes that are not only healthy but tasted great and left excited to make these on our own. If you are considering a raw food diet, I highly recommend checking out Green Spirit.

I bought the Green Spirit cleanse, which is 3 days of Linda's raw food meals (breakfast, lunch and…read moredinner) followed by 5 days of juice, followed by 3 more days of raw food meals. You take these Blessed Herbs, well, herbs (in capsule form) and take some powders to help cleanse your colon, over the whole course of the 11 days. I have to say, my absolute favorite part was Linda's food and juice. The green juice she gave us as part of the cleanse was UNBELIEVABLE. It's made on a Norwalk juice press (which I find very exciting), which extends shelf life, preserves quality, and eliminates the pulp/foam that makes my homemade juices taste yuck-o after a few hours. Linda's raw food meals were out of this world. In particular, her veggie burger. I don't know what it's made of - I'm sure the recipe is a secret - but DANG. The. most. satisfying. raw food meal I have ever eaten. (Superlatives 100% genuine.) I could wax poetical about the amazing food at Green Spirit living for days. In fact, all my waxing poetical inspired my friend to purchase a week of raw food (Chef's choice) from Green Spirit. But I also need to mention the price. Linda's pricing is very competitive in the raw food prepared meals space. Raw food prep is expensive both in time AND in ingredients, so my hat is off to her for keeping her prices so reasonable. Relatively low overhead helps, I'm sure (Green Spirit is not a restaurant space). tl;dr: I love Green Spirit Healthy Living. It's totally worth it.

The selection isn't huge as they have a smaller footprint but we found pretty much everything we needed in this small town market. Candy, Sprite, and s'mores fixin's for my little cousin, blueberries and oatmeal for my grandma, beer for my husband and uncle, frozen soft pretzels and mustard for my aunt, brats making sausage and peppers for the group for my mom, and Moomers ice cream and cans of Bubly for me. Prices were decent, especially for a smaller market, and they had a surprising amount of locally made goods. Produce selection was a little small (we had to go into Sutton's Bay to get oranges, for example) but all pantry items we needed were easy to find. The shop, because it's small, makes checking out a little challenging when there are more than a few folks in there. At one point my mom and I were looking at the ice cream selection and a line of about 4 people filed behind us. We didn't realize the coolers were adjacent to the second cash register! Navigating out was a challenge but everyone was very kind about it. Admittedly, though I read the amazing reviews for their Indian eats, we did not get any. But I'm definitely game to try it out next time.

Part of Hansen Food's competitive edge is their wine steward. You're rolling your eyes: all a…read moreguy's got do is choose red or white, pick a price range - say, under $15 - then grab any bottle 'cause they all taste the same. Tell Hansen's steward that and a couple things more, and she'll suggest sure-fire winners. I told her Diane's likes: pinot grigio or gris, but not Italian (they're too acidic). I like a merlot or pinot noir. The steward proposed wines we'd have never thought of. For Diane, Protea and Verterra pinot grigios and a Saint-Lannes blend. For me, Danaus and Solroom reds and a Comtesse de Malet Bordeaux. They've been delicious! One more thing you're thinking: the steward will steer a customer toward expensive wines. Not Hansen's steward. I told her I'm frugal because I'm on a pension. She proposed wines which were $15 or less after the case discount. Bottom line: when it came to wines, the steward and I saw eye to eye. Which is remarkable for an unexpected reason: I'm 6'5"; Hansen's steward, a woman, is nearly as tall.
