From cheeses, meats, breads, a pretty extensive frozen section, there are so many treasures you can find here. I came here with my cousin who was looking for some specific food items, side, and purchase anything myself on this trip. Partly because I was gonna be out all day and didn't want the food sitting in my car. But definitely if I plan better next time I'm in San Diego I wanna buy stuff to bring back home. Just a gem of a find. There also seems to be plenty of parking in the area as we parked pretty much right out front.

Am I a butter connoisseur? Absolutely, not. However, I do know that if you're interested in trying…read moreFrench butter, this is the place to go. I should have purchased the Beurre d'Isigny butter here rather than going to Paris, buying Bordier butter vacuum sealed butter, having the hotel freeze it, then paying extra for check in luggage since it's a colder storage area. Cuisenery didn't have Bordier butter but when I was doing my online research, I found that both of the brands I mentioned are pretty good. I actually liked my Beurre d'Isigny butter better, but that's more likely due to it being unsalted versus the salted version I bought in Paris (apparently, you MUST use salted on your bread per the Parisians). They also had a bunch of other frozen foods and condiments, including frozen escargot in puff pastry, frozen baguettes, mustards, and jams.

After getting lunch, we drove back to the Farmers Market afterwards. Under the solar panels, the Mira Mesa Farmers Market was setting up for the day. There were some interesting stalls with various vendors selling their products. Plants, trinkets, jewelry, foods and fresh produce were available. There were a few empty stalls probably because we were early. Compared to other Farmers Markets it seemed to be small. It was well organized and clean. The vendors were friendly. The food stalls were in the sun. I think we will come back another time to try again.

My friend and I came to Pastalini for a weekend dinner after attending a nearby event. I actually…read moreremember eating at Pastalini years ago (I think I was literally in elementary school), but it's been so long since I've returned. I did not remember it being in a random, unassuming strip mall. Parking was easy, and it wasn't crowded at all, even at 6:30 PM. Since it's a customize-your-own-pasta experience, I ended up choosing the bowtie pasta with vodka sauce and a medley of vegetables. It also came with three yummy bread rolls! To be honest, the vodka sauce tasted like regular tomato sauce. I also thought they had rigatoni as one of the pasta options, but it actually looked more like penne... Food-wise, it's really just okay. Solid, affordable, and filling for sure, but I can't say it's anything crazy. The ambiance isn't that great, either. But to be frank, the most memorable part of my experience was the wonderful customer experience! The staff were so kind and friendly, even making small talk with us. She was also patient as I powered through my indecision. Her compliments made my day! So overall, Pastalini is a place for a no-frills, quick, cheap eat. I don't know how authentic or "vibey" it is, but the staff definitely were the highlight for me! Glad to see that they're still here.

Every time I shop there, I feel like a little kid in Willie Wonka wotld, because they offer items that I've never even heard of before, and I am mesmerized by them.

It's a refrigerated warehouse and it's chilly!

But if they list the unique items like cucumber lemons or the different squash that's kinda fun.

Dear Little India Center,…read more Uppar kya hai? (What's up?) Thank you for helping ease me back into the real world after spending six months in India last year. You know exactly how to take care of my cravings for all things Indian. You had the foresight to fill your shopping center with many different restaurants both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, both North Indian and South Indian. Ashoka the Great, Madras Cafe, India Princess and Surati Farsan Mart. Whenever I need my Indian food fix, this is where I come. You added not one, not two, but three Indian grocery stores so I can pick up my spices, atta flour, lentils, tea and Indian veggies and make Indian food whenever I want. You have cool stores like; a sari shop filled with the brilliant reds, oranges, golds and aquas of India, an Indian video store where you can rent or buy the latest Bollywood movie and a yoga center for inner peace. You even added a Hindu temple for those that are devotional or would like to perform puja. Little India Center, you though of everything, but where are the masses of autorickshaws, the pollution, the packs of feral dogs and the street urchins? That would make it REALLY authentic. Think about it. Achcha din lo! (Have a nice day!)

Happy hour, happy hour, happy hour! I think that I wouldn't come if not for happy hour prices!…read more Don't get me wrong, most of what I ordered was fantastic. Happy hour is 2pm-7pm. They close at 8pm. Its a decent size restaurant with a small patio area. However, there are more seats in the common area outside. For this place, you order first then you grab a seat. They have canned soda or you can pay for the fountain soda drinks that actually don't have sodas. They have flavored drinks. I loved that they had a bottle of nigori for 8$ maybe 9$, I forget, but that is pretty much what you get it for at the store. Thats awesome! I got 10 oysters at 2$ each, but they are a mix. I loved the fried oysters! The calamari was great! My only disappointment was that the lemon pepper wings were so bland I regretted it. All the food on happy hour were 8-9$ only. Thats very cheap for seafood. The cashier and most of the food runners were very nice. They let me hang outside with my dogs for hours. I really enjoyed myself here. I will definitely come agaim!

Point Loma is one of those places since it has a certain charm to it. Don'tcha think!? *It's very historical and strongly tied to those who serve or have served our country.

Especially since the NAVY is right there in town. *The market hosts many different food and small business vendors all in one hall. Truly a hidden gem and so glad they opened up the space to share with those business owners. *You can visit larger restaurants establishments in the very near vicinity as well. It's touristy and locals favorite hot spot vibe is all rolled into one fused place here. *Very Family and fur baby friendly! *Very close to some nice hotels as well! Hope you enjoy as much as I do!

Prices are fair, especially for how fresh everything is, and the staff is always nice and helpful. No complaints there. Overall, it's just one of those spots you can keep coming back to and know what you're gonna get good food, good service, and consistent quality.

The food court is convenient and the ramen is especially tasty but the associates (just here at the food court) could improve on their customer service and friendliness.

What makes this place unique is that it's…read moreactually made up of three separate stores--two grocery markets and one dedicated to merchandise featuring everything from adorable Japanese plushies and cookware to cosmetics, electronics, and so much more. And yes...I had to explore all three! Both markets were bright, clean, and incredibly well organized. One of my favorite sections was the tea aisle. As someone who absolutely loves tea, I was in heaven. Their selection is huge, with everything from loose-leaf teas to powdered varieties that you don't typically find in traditional American grocery stores. I'll definitely be back to stock up on a few new favorites. I originally stopped in to purchase a matcha whisk set, but it was a little more than I wanted to spend. That didn't stop me from finding a few treasures, though! I ended up browsing the cookware section and picked up a beautifully designed set of reusable chopsticks along with beginner-friendly M-shaped training chopsticks. One unexpected highlight was getting to try a hand massage machine. It applies pressure to acupuncture points throughout your hand, and wow--it felt amazing! I'm seriously considering going back just to buy one. The produce section also looked fresh and inviting, so I can definitely see myself returning to shop for groceries. Plus, since my sons love anime, I already know they'll enjoy checking out the merchandise store with all the fun Japanese collectibles and character items. Whether you're looking for authentic Japanese groceries, unique kitchenware, specialty teas, or fun gifts, Tokyo Central & Main is absolutely worth visiting. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by--you'll probably leave with more than you planned, just like I did! And you already know you can always thank me later
