Holy moly, don't miss this place if you are anywhere near Marquette, MI! While it is not a big…read moreshop, like Total Wine or Specs, it is a gem! Their philosophy is to offer great wines for less than $20. While they do have some higher end bottles, we found most bottles priced between $9 and $15! Really delicious wines, just unbelievable, from all over. We ended up purchasing six bottles, but could have bought several cases, easily. In addition to the wines, there is a small cheese case that is full of an excellent variety of cheeses, some we've not seen before. We sampled and bought for charcuterie. The cheese case is in the second little room, full of all kinds of international foodstuffs. Found some things I'd not been able to track down, the loveliest surprise. Also a cooler of microbrews, hard cider and more, in case wine isn't your thing. But the final treasure in this sweet spot is the chocolate wall! From all across the globe, chocolates I've never seen before, and I'm ALWAYS looking for good chocolate, wherever we go. And they have samples of the chocolate too! Did I mention the staff is incredibly kind and helpful? We ended up with Spanish chorizo, guanciale (one of the lovely surprise finds), oat biscuits, a fresh baguette, olives, lots of chocolate and a cool cheese serving set. So worth the stop! Lots of gifty things for foodie friends, too. We'll be back again!

We grabbed some assortment of chocolates. I tend to like darker chocolate treats. It's almost too many options here. Dining in the back part of the store. The animal covered chocolate was not as good as it looked. Just tasted like a steel cracker encapsulated in chocolate. None of the chocolates that I grabbed, and I had quite an assortment or special to me. The only one I liked was the dark chocolate with a caramel. Every other random dark chocolate piece I grabbed was just OK, but not special. A little disappointing after spending almost $37 on a variety of different chocolates.

The shop is full of charm and so many things you don't see anywhere else. I found the most beautiful kitchen towel with a Scandinavian design that I couldn't resist, plus a bag full of unique Finnish candies that became a hit at the reunion. My husband was thrilled to find a new sauna bucket--he's been wanting to upgrade for years. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

There are so many healthy grocery options, tons of deli choices, hot food bars, household supplies, bring-your-own-container dry goods, tons of ethical and sustainable options, co-op merch, and some local made goods (I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, the co-op has everything you need for a healthy lifestyle). The cashiers are friendly, the workers on the floor are helpful, it feels like the people working treat each other as a family rather than just another job. Love supporting local and making good choices for my body and the earth!
