The shopping center it is in is great for buying other things as well, clothing boutiques for women and children, bakeries, a five and dime store. Plenty of free parking in a private lot. Staff ate wonderful and friendly. I always find what I am looking for. It is in a good, safe, affluent area surrounded by stately homes, local businesses, churches, and private schools. Spring Hill College is directly across Old Shell Road. A good place to buy groceries.

This is great and unique shop. I do not know of any local stores that offer what they offer so far…read more It is located in the heart of Mobile. Near the University of South Alabama. Actually it down the street from the main campus. It offers a wonderful location. It has a large parking lot. Only challenge is making a left hand turn depending on traffic since the main road is two lanes. This store offers many different options for those hard to access foods, fresh spices, and drinks. As you walk in. They are an international market but more focus on Middle East cuisine. Not just your Europe and India ingredients. Besides the regular stuff you can buy at a small local market. You are overwhelmed with the wonderful abundance and aromatic of fresh made spices. Actually, as far I know, know where I have been locally that offers what they offer. If so, please let me know. I was able to find hard and unique ingredients not found anywhere else. As far as I know. They also an abundance of great wine selection. If you cannot find the wine of your choice. Give them a look. They might offer what you are looking for. I especially love this space since they have a small kitchen that can make fresh middle eastern dishes. I was hungry, so I grabbed the original (lamb ) gyro and a bottled water. It was delicious. Well worth it! (Gyro is meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie, then sliced and served wrapped or stuffed in pita bread, along with other ingredients such as tomato, onion, fried potatoes, and tzatziki. In Greece, it is normally made with pork or sometimes with chicken, whilst ground beef and lamb are also used in other countries.) They off free Wi-Fi. I believe it is password protected? They offer a few outside seating as well as small indoor spaces. But if not, you can always get it to go. Well worth it if you are in the area. Especially go here if you need that specific ingredient that you just cannot find. If you are hungry and want something delicious. Feel free to stop by and grab a bite. Definitely a must if you need that special ingredient for your delicious meal. If you are in the area and want a quick bite. Stop in!

Very affordable for such lovely modern glassware for the holidays. I don't know what happened to the review I wrote of this place last year I guess it got eat by the matrix. Anyhoo, this is the closest Williams-Sonoma to moi & where all of my family shops. And there are 4 chefs in our family, so quite often. Dad bought a new house nearby so he is the closest to the Williams-Sonoma store now. I'm so jelly! He has now purchased a bread maker LOL Anyway, I love this Williams-Sonoma store for the kitchen tools & mixing bowls. I have several sets of mixing bowls I bought last year & I especially love my set of graters. Cheese, butter, chocolate, nutmeg, carrots, cabbage, I'm always grating something haha. I wear them completely out quickly, like I said I'm a grater haha. So I need new ones often. Anyway, the holidays are here! So I now need more wine glasses! Love the Schott Zwiesel Glasses & need some other styles now for moi perfect Elegant Southern style holiday table. So festive! Will return & often. Recommend.

I'm attending a cocktail making class tonight with Amanda, of the Lemon Baby blog and I'm stoked! This WS is, by far, the best!

Any restaurant can have an error or even a few, on any given week. After all, no one is perfect…read moreevery day. However, this place does no warrant a 2.7 stars. IMHO it is a 3.9 to 4.4 star restaurant. The place is very clean, organized, kiosk or walk up order counter, a parking lot with many spaces, friendly interactions with the person who took my order and the expeditor, yes they do charge for using a credit card, so does everyone in Mobile. We got our food in under 10 minutes, the salad she ordered and the italian sandwich I ordered were tasty, fresh, and plentiful for a lunch portion. When we left, it still appeared food was being delivered quickly, including delivery services. By the way, if you do not have the time or are just too lazy to go and get your own food, that is too many peoples hands in the service portion to place ALL the blame, maybe cut panera bread some slack in this case. There are simply not enough reviews in Mobile for a restaurant to recover from a 1 star, one time visit rant, on a take out / delivery order. Me, I always try to give a restaurant 2, if not 3 chances, but, we eat out 3 to 4 times per week. I only have one exception to this practice and if you read my review, it was warranted. Nothing I read in these reviews compares. PRO TIP: Having a bad day already? Dont write the review today, be objective and fair, it is their livelihoods.

I love ordering from Panera when I'm at the office, and usually have zero issue. This delivery…read moreorder was sadly not up to par. I ordered for myself and 3 coworkers, but only 2 of 4 orders were received when it was marked delivered. Apparently, the store forgot to pack it all in one bag, and told the driver they did. The driver was very communicative, explained the error on the store's part, and even went back to pick up the remaining orders. However, their lunchtime was over upon correcting the delivery issue. Panera did credit the entire missing order, so I was made whole to try again another day. Cheers!

Their portions are enough for at least 3 people. The choices were many and hard to make, but we had perfectly seasoned green lima beans and field peas with snaps, succotash with tomatoes and corn and okra, creamy red beans, and all 3 of us got the mac and cheese. Because who wants to share their mac and cheese? Not this girl! It is so exceptional. Everything was really yummy, but the mac and cheese was the best! The people who work there are all sooo pleasant and friendly. We ate in their dining room, and it was spotless and clean. I kinda wanna keep this a secret (although I've heard they get really busy sometimes), but y'all should really give Mary's a try if you like REAL southern comfort food.

I visited Virginia Health Food Store today to purchase ingredients for elderberry syrup for my…read moredaughter, who was diagnosed with COVID-19 earlier this week and is still symptomatic. Out of caution, both my daughter and I wore medical-grade masks. When we arrived, I immediately informed the associate assisting me that my daughter was positive and still contagious, so she could decide whether to wear a mask or keep her distance. She was respectful, went to the back to get a mask, and came back to help me find the items I needed. I was nearly finished shopping--about 7 to 10 minutes into my visit--when a manager named Celeste approached and told me I needed to leave the store due to concerns from other customers. I explained that I was only there to quickly get a few essential ingredients to care for my sick child, but she insisted I leave immediately. No curbside option was offered, no suggestion of an alternative--just a flat denial of service. I had to call my mother and ask her to drive from Saraland to the store to finish the shopping. I waited outside for about 15 minutes, and even then, no one offered any form of assistance or accommodation. What made this situation worse is that the store was fairly busy with 10-15 other people inside--none of whom were wearing masks. There's no guarantee that anyone else wasn't asymptomatic or contagious, but because I was honest, proactive, and masked, I was singled out and dismissed. When my mother came in to finish the purchase, she was rushed, and we later discovered that not all the ingredients I needed were included. This forced me to return not once, but two more times just to get everything. Despite the inconvenience and repeated trips, no one offered any form of compensation, apology, or even a discount for my time and trouble. The only person who showed genuine understanding and kindness was Alex, who assisted me during my third visit. After I told him this was my third trip back, he kindly gave me some extra elderberries at no charge, which I truly appreciated. This experience left me feeling disrespected, dismissed, and discriminated against. I took every precaution I could. I was honest, masked, and simply trying to care for my sick child. Yet instead of being met with understanding or support, I was treated like an inconvenience. Virginia Health Food Store is one of the few places in Mobile that offers raw, unprocessed herbs, so it's deeply disappointing to be treated this way. I hope the store takes this as an opportunity to improve how they handle sensitive situations like this--with empathy, consistency, and basic human decency.
