We took a ride to Whole Foods today. David is obsessed with making Falafel lol!…read more He made some while I was sleeping this morning and then we watched videos on how to make it better. So we were on a quest to find dried garbanzo beans, which we did. Then some fresh herbs and some dry ones. The place was so busy! I see they have a new Amazon return station when you walk towards the food seating area. They also deliver food orders in the back of the store. I was glad to see all the people in there bc there was definitely more products and specials. We got lobster macaroni and cheese to try. It had some big pieces of lobster but the topping was a little to salty for me. There was a Bogo on natural unprocessed bacon and we got those too. It's a great place to shop for organic products. The soup bar and hot and cold bar were very busy. It's makes me happy to see a business succeed! Much better than the last tie we were there!

While visiting Fort Meyers for the first time, it was recommended that we go to Buckingham Farms…read morefor breakfast. We were excited to try it based on their website, reviews, and the recommendation. Upon entering you can pick up a menu or look at the menu board. There is no table service. Once you place your order you can sit down at a table and wait for your pager to go off. When your pager goes off you have to go to the back of the restaurant to get your utensils. The utensils are plastic that are dispensed. The coffee cups are made of Styrofoam, surprising since this is promoted as a"farm to table" restaurant. You can dispense your own coffee and pick up non refrigerated packaged creamers. No fresh milk or creamer offered. Again surprising. My wife asked a food preparer if she could have some fresh milk for her coffee. It was provided in a plastic container. I ordered an egg, cheese, and bacon on a biscuit. I didn't see any other type of bread offered. My wife ordered the waffle making a point for it to be prepared plain. Our pagers went off and we went to pick up our food. The waffles my wife ordered plain had some kind of cream on it. The server said she didn't see any note about it being prepared plain. She took it back to remake it and brought it out to our table. The coffee was very weak and not very good. My wife threw hers out. Her waffle was tasteless. She took a couple of bites and threw it out as well. My biscuit sandwich was also very disappointing. The biscuit was dry and hard, the texture of the bacon was like shoe leather. We could not understand why this restaurant was as busy as it was. The only thing we could think of, was that it's the only place around. We left and drove 20 minutes to a Bakery/Cafe where they served good coffee, bread, and pastries.

We used to buy them when we lived in Coral Springs and they would sell out quickly. Also had a shrimp sushi for $5 too! A lovely apple pie for $12.99 and a ciabatta bread.

Glad I downloaded the Fresh Market App and can enjoy the specials they advertise every day!

Lots of people shopping for flowers and treats for the day. It reminds me of a mini Whole Foods or a Fresh Thyme store and similar to Trader Joe's. I would say their pricing and ambiance is also similar to those stores. We did see some items we might go back for, but for today, we found some Easter treats for the young kids who live next door to us. We will go back, probably not for major shopping, but for a specialty item or two.

Today the store was moderately busy and I could shop the aisles with ease. I love being greeted by beautiful plants and flowers when I walk in. The store is always spotless and the produce and shelves make it easy to see the products. I'm always watching my weight so I like to buy a lot of the fresh vegetables and produce. Then on to the uncured bacon without nitrates. Today there was Empire turkey breasts, which will be perfect for preparing for the high holidays. Hamburgers, frozen chicken thighs are great for a quick dinner. We bought some chicken salad which we had for our lunch. Onto the dog treats! We usually empty the shelves because Freckles loves them. Dave always finds great wines for himself and to share when we visit friends. I love the prepared foods but are wary of the high salt content. Last of all the beautiful cards for $1.00! Can't beat that price. I only wish there was a bench or somewhere to sit if I had to. I understand that stores don't want people loitering or hanging out. It's really difficult for elderly or disabled people to shop without being able to take a respite. Otherwise I don't have any complaints. The cashiers and employees are extra friendly and helpful. We always bring our own bags that are environmentally friendly. Thank you Trader Joe's!

While I don't drink, I was amazed at their huge selection of wine, from all different regions of the world. With bottles ranging from $2.99 to $5 and more, it reminded me of the Trader Joe's wine store they used to have over Union Square in nyc. I loved how open, spacious and clean this location is! To top it off, they had sooo many frozen pizzas, which in my neck of the woods, is a hot commodity!

This store has everything for me to be chic, ironic, & fabulous! Unique pieces for your wardrobe, stylish canvas backpacks, hilariously obnoxious home decor from napkins, to pot holders to glassware, spot-on aprons, socks, change purses that speak to the witty divas like myself. I do wish for some racial ambiguity in some of the items as my mother "loves her asshole children" (pot holder) but we do not look like the leave it to beaver family. Perhaps a geographic limitation but nonetheless there is something for everyone in ever niche of the store. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful as we grazed each corner. They made suggestions and allowed us to enjoy the experience of shopping there-- because truly that is what it is, a unique experience

The staff here is friendly enough and the place has the ambiance that we have come to expect from an Aldi. I was just picking up some water and a few snacks for my night in a hotel on a business trip. On a note that I thought was interesting was that this Aldi has multiple checkout lanes. Most Aldi locations have one checkout lane open regardless of the line. I thought this was particularly refreshing. For that reason alone (all the checkout lanes), I am giving this particular Aldi location five stars.

Indian Grocery is Indian grocery store located in shopping mall next to Planet Fitness and Floor…read moreand Décor at US 41 North of Edison Mall. Indian culture has always been something I wanted to explore. There is no better way to start or continue to learn about their culture then by experiencing their food. Food is something that bring us together no matter what nationality you are! I knew about Indian Grocery for many years but now all the stars are aligned and walked in to explore this store. We've eaten many dishes like Biryani, Tika Masala, Vindaloo, etc. at our Indian Restaurants. Today, we were focused on street food and snack. On our first visit on a Thursday afternoon, as we walked in, we saw a technician is fixing and working on a large refrigerator with the compressor on the floor. But other 5 large refrigerators are working fine! There is a small produce section available. It looks a little empty but they are expecting a delivery next day! They have a large selection of spices, flours, rice and other Indian dry goods. We picked up Khasta Kachori, Malai Kofta, Choley Bhatura and Chicken Vindaloo. At the checkout counter, we added 2 fresh Samosas. Khasta Kachori is a street food deep-fried and known for its crunchy shell and spiced filling inside. I consumed tea with Kachori but next time, I can use coriander chutney! I loved the spiciness but wife complained it is too hot! Fresh Samosa is filled with spices and peas. It is crunchy outside and soft inside. It is A+! Malai Kofta is cottage cheese and potato dumpling prepared in a mild spicy tomato gravy. We microwaved the Kofta and served over white rice and green peas for lunch. It is mildly spicy so my wife approved this dish! We have not tried the Choley Bhatura and Chicken Vindaloo yet! Will prepare for lunch next week! The Indian Grocery staff is friendly and warm! I'm sure we can pick some more items on our next visit. Another page in our Indian Culture and Food Exploration!
