(PREFACE: Yelp still lists this as "Moon Mart," even though the sign reads "Moon Market." My attempt to update the listing with Yelp was unsuccessful.)
I often drive by this small convenience store on my way home from work, and have been meaning to stop by and check it out, so I could write a Yelp review. When I searched Yelp for "Moon Market," it was listed as being located on Park Avenue, which was confusing, because Yelp lists a "Moon Mart" at this address. Apparently, this store was also named "Reservoir Market Place" at one time. Anyhow, I eventually sorted out the confusion (basically, there are two stores with the same name, different locations and same ownership - read my other review). I will be submitting updated info to Yelp (sorry, I can't help it - I'm a stickler for accuracy).
Anyhow, this is a small convenience store that occupies the left side of a small commercial building (a business called the Plant Store occupies the right side). There is parking in front and on the left side of the building. Although the parking lot is small, it is probably adequate for the volume of business.
The store is nothing fancy and has a somewhat limited selection of drinks and snacks. I found only two noteworthy things: a large array of hookahs/bongs/water pipes or whatever those things are called; and a small cooler containing several flavors of Dippin' Dots (which are little balls of ice cream). The young man behind the cash register was somewhat friendly. Normally, I would rate a convenience store of this caliber two stars, but the Dippin' Dots elevated them to three stars.
One thing I did notice was that Red Bull prices seemed high. I foresee myself stopping here only occasionally, when I have a craving for Dippin' Dots.
Despite the heavy traffic on Reservoir Avenue, pulling out of here wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, since there is a traffic light at the side street on the left side of the parking lot. read more
