Visited Sanwa this past week to get some fresh veggies and other things…read more This was my first time here and my friend Jenny walked me through the place showing everything Sanwa has to offer. It is open to the public and it does get super busy in the afternoon so I would try to get there early. The parking lot is a little tight to pull into, but not terrible. Inside you will find huge items in bulk and all your groceries store essentials. Also the have wholesale items and all kinds of international stuff to make different cuisines, plus containers, plating, etc.. They have a really nice meat section and fruits and vegetables section as well. I was able to get everything I need plus more for the week.

There's lots of plants there too. It's fairly close to Fletcher/I-75 and Morris Bridge Rd. I have finally found my regular fruit and veggie market!

This market is mainly…read moreproduce with a small selection of milk/apple cider and some meats in the small fridge pictured in my review. They keep the warehouse 61-66° which must be great for the fresh foods. Prices beat Publix in avocados, strawberries, and more. I loved the "defect" section where foods past their date are offered at 0.45cent/lb. It reminds me of the company that saves "ugly" produce from grocery stores to resell at a discount.

Nice little produce store!! Located inside a warehouse. Plenty of parking, they're also handicap…read moreaccessible from the parking lot. And,they will take debit/credit cards & cash. Lots of selections. As stated by other others in the review section, prices are quite good here. Most vegetables/fruit are fairly fresh. Several weren't 100% fresh, but as a shopper, if you have some care and due diligence you will find many great items. When we went there they definitely had the AC/coolers on . So as a person, if you tend to run cold wear a jacket in here. I would rather see that so that they are keeping all their products cool to increase shelf life. Girl at counter was very friendly, and had a good attitude. This is a much better alternative than the local grocery stores.

If it's strawberry season, I'm heading to Parksdale to pick up some strawberries and grab a sweat…read moretreat. The "world famous" strawberry milkshakes live up to the hype and are well worth any wait in line. I love how creamy they are and the fact that they include chunks of strawberries. Don't sleep on just a plain bowl of strawberries with whipped cream either. I normally find myself wanting more strawberries after a milkshake, and the bowl of strawberries is the perfect compliment. As for the lines, they can be pretty long. But they do a really good job at making the lines move quickly. The prices are also very reasonable. The market also has all sorts of fresh veggies, fruits, and strawberry related items, like jams, breads, and even cookies!

Finally got to try the soft serve from Yellow Banks Groves and it was delightful…read more The vibe of Yellow Banks Groves is kitschy and friendly. The inside of the store is old Florida~ with souvenirs ranging from manatee wine holders to seashell decorations. There are bags of locally-picked oranges and cartons of fresh orange juice for sale as well, but we went for the soft serve. It's a vanilla/orange swirl made with fresh orange juice. The creaminess of the vanilla with the tartness of the orange created a refreshing, nostalgic flavor. The attendant was really sweet. Yellow Banks Groves is a great spot if you're craving soft serve, needing a local shop to showcase to people visiting from out of town, or if you're looking for a memorable gift.

BLACK DIRT FLOATING IN TANGERINE JUICE Bought the $8.95…read morehalf gallon of tangerine juice with an expiration date of 3.21 (purchased on 3.7). Drove the 30 minutes back home just to see there is black dirt/mold/dust floating all over the container. Called the store hoping they had an answer to what it was just to get a very unsure staff member who says "it may be debris from the peel." They offered I return for a refund however I live to far to make it worth that. My guess is it is mold from a juicer that isn't cleaned regularly. Besides that the orange vanilla swirl ice cream was yummy but I won't be rushing back. Be sure to check your containers before purchasing.

But I never buy anything because I've no idea how to use it, but I still stop and stare anyway. To the left is a cool refrigerator with a glass door showcasing sauces and guacamole with other prepared foods, this is a display case that I do actively participate in. Just below are two hot coolers that are insulated holding the heat in to keep the tamales and corn tortillas warm. $8. For 5 with your choice of chicken or cheese both are absolutely delicious, served in corn husks with a generous cup of red or green sauces. This is the thru area, a walkway to go left or right. Right takes you to the bagged snacks also of Mexican descent more candies, hot sauces bags of beans, rice with some products you'd use in your kitchen and bathroom. I'm always good for buying a new hot sauce to try out and keep a record of my taste buds findings. Left is a narrow little path with fresh flour tortillas, some sugary light pastries, two shuffle steps right and your in the meat case. Pre prepared seasoned meats (and non seasoned) sell by the pound, so if your having company or just wanna give the family a special Sunday night dinner, buy the seasoned meats, set and go in the oven. You'll be thought of as the finest cook in town. Sweeping right turn takes you into the produce area with fresh vegetables and fruits. Jose's is a real market in that you'll need not ship anywhere else for your food, assuming you're eating as much Mexican based foods as I am. Meats and produce hold no such ethnic divide. Everything is well laid out, well labeled and we'll described by the lineages of workers and Jose's daughter who I love to talk to. She's a smart business lady with a view of the world that I very much relate to in my current journey to find my animal spirit and totem spirit, I'm right about there.

I've been wanting to try this wine bar/bistro since the day it opened. I just never seemed to hit…read moreit at the right time. Fortunately, it was open the day after Christmas at 1pm. What a lovely surprise! It's kind of hidden on Bay Street. It's behind the Restoration Hardware Gallery. You'll see the outdoor patio area on the left as you're exiting the food court. In fact, that appears to be the main entrance (or it was that day). There's another entrance next to the Shake Shack as well. The interior is very reminiscent of bistros in various parts of Europe. It's somewhat dark & moody with warm wood furnishings. The wine/coffee bar is the focal point. The seating is comfortable & diverse. There are also large tables set up for groups of people. It's definitely a great meeting place after a day of shopping. It's also great for couples on a date. I was the first one there that afternoon, and had my pick of tables. They have such a great wine list. I already knew what I wanted thanks to the great descriptions on the menu. The white wine flight is a pick of any 3 from the menu. I had a generous pour of a few French Sauvignon Blanc wines and a Blanc de Franc. It was my first time trying the latter white Cabernet Sauvignon. What a treat! I loved all 3, but my absolute favorite was the one from Domaine Doudeau-Léger. The service here was wonderful. Nina gave me some great suggestions when I asked about the toasts. I ended up choosing the Wild Truffled Mushroom one. It was delicious! The mushrooms were the star of the show. The subtle hint of truffle really brought out the natural flavors. I totally recommend this one. If you're a mushroom lover, there's a mushroom & pea soup that was also recommended. I couldn't leave without dessert. I think my only disappointment was that they didn't have the croissants ready. The Crème Brûlée one is popular as well as the Basque Burned Cheesecake. It would have taken an additional 30 minutes. I ended up getting the Pistachio Ricotta Cake. It turned out to be a good decision because the croissant would have been too filling for me. This cake was perfectly light and paired very well with the cappuccino. They serve Kimbo Italian espresso for all you coffee lovers out there. Even the small detail of having a delicious Italian biscotti cookie bite in the spoon was the perfect ending for me. I'm looking forward to more visits. Hopefully, I'll get to try that croissant dessert that everyone raves about. They serve brunch on the weekends. That's what I want to try the next time I'm at International Plaza.

**Door Dashers Beware** We love 10&10 and were regulars before they closed. We anxiously awaited…read moretheir reopening in September and then we were met with disappointment when that didn't happen. Then excitement again when we saw the May reopening update. Last week we made a special trip to international mall to see where they moved to. We couldn't locate them but I saw that you could order door dash from them. So on a long shot a placed a pick up order with the hopes that I would get a message with the new location. Well that was a bad idea because all I got was $10 taken and no food or information. It stayed in the waiting for 10&10 to confirm my order screen until they closed and then it went to ordered picked up at 9:09 pm. I tried to get a refund with Door Dash but was denied due to their Credit Card terms and policy's so dashers beware. I hope that maybe they will come back to a physical location or even respond to this and get me the cheesecake I ordered. We miss the food, wine, staff and atmosphere.
