He also asked me to buy him a Montrose because he hasn't tasted it yet. And I'm sure he loves it because the owner of the mini store described to me what it tastes like. Owner also recommended the Rose wine Underwood and I bought also this.  And also if you are looking to cater your party they have a service. You can see the photos of their food in their business photos. I highly recommend this mini grocery if you're looking for a different variety of liquor.

They sell almost everything you need to create a charcuterie board: fresh cheese, meat, chocolate, jams, nuts, pickled veggies, etc. We chose three cheeses and the amount we wanted. I do wish they had some little descriptions about the cheeses on their name cards. It also seems like they eyeball the amount when they cut it, so you might get more or less of what you ask for even though the price depends on the weight because that's what happened to us. We also bought some cornichons, malort pickled tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and fig jam!

Originally on a mission for a smoothie, I was greeted by a friendly staff member and a much larger menu than expected. There is a slew of inventive food that all looked amazing, ranging from sandwiches to noodles and sushi. I opted for the Maca Picchu smoothie, a mini cranberry muffin, and an empanada. I was blown away by how flavorful everything was! The smoothie was creamy, lightly sweet, and very refreshing. The mini muffin tasted like a firmer version of edible cookie dough and was a perfect sweet treat. The empanada was not crunchy, but it was flavorful and the vegan cashew cream was incredibly smooth. I was really impressed not only by the taste of the food, but the texture and presentation as well. There is a level of detail and care that is apparent and really exceptional. Consider me a fan- I'm already looking forward to not only the next visit, but to bring more plant-based meals into my kitchen as well!

They have a bunch of Italian dry good items, as well as charcuterie items like gourmet crackers and local chocolates... plus there's a freezer full of Jeni's ice cream. I haven't had a chance to try their cheeses yet, but will definitely come back for that!
