He checked my iPad, and once he located the right ones for me on the rack of chargers in his store, he even took them out of their packaging to make sure they fit and that they were the right ones--they were, and I thank him for his courteous service! Thank you, Geoffrey!

I don't know why, but this place reminded me of your sitcom, corner store, supermarket. It was so…read morewelcoming when I came in here and had the shelves stocked with items. Honestly, this was one of the best supermarkets I have been in for a while. One down side here is that it is located in a rather cramped space. The aisles are narrow and if you a claustrophobic, this might not be the spot for you. Even though it is a smaller space, they do have a wide variety of items to choose from. It was a nice experience and it was great to see that this is used by so many people. I only stopped in here one night to grab a few things and there were enough people in here to make it known it is a great asset in the area. I grabbed my items, made it to the front, had a small wait in line, but it was worth it. The employee that was working was super pleasant and definitely made it a better experience.

But that could be because they share this place with a taco restaurant and that could be indicative as to why it almost comes off as spotless. Service was pretty good in here. I was in need of ice for an event and I had walked for what felt like miles. I also grabbed a few drinks while in here and was able to find everything I needed in mere minutes. I got what I needed and after asking for a bag I was back out on the hot streets and one my way. I may end up back here to try the adjoining taco restaurant.

It is a well lit store. Tons of windows. But it is a bit smaller than some 7-Elevens I have been in. That equates to less room and less selection. Don't get that mixed up with not having the essential 7-Eleven items. Just know that you may not be grabbing a familiar item you are used to at other locations. I came in here, for the first time, and went straight to the coolers. I had to stand in front of them, while dodging other customers, to find the items I wanted. Completely different setup so it took me a bit more time to find what I wanted. Then the registers take a bit longer since it is a well used spot. And on the way out, you have to dodge the many people outside to get back to your day.

Mostly stocked with gourmet snacks and light lunches, there is also a to-go / delivery ($3 charge) menu to order different courses from the Presidents Sports Bar attached to the Renaissance Hotel. It's well stocked with random items like homemade cookies and box cookies to house salads and sandwiches ( and even cold desserts like tiramisu and mini bananas fosters. There is a candy bucket tree with single candies in the clear buckets. They have a small coffee bar with carafe coffee and teas. You can also buy fruit individually and croissants. They have a freezer stocked with gelato cups, ice cream bars, etc. The items are reasonably priced, but certain bagged items like those same cookies ( Mexican hot chocolate) that they sell at Dolcezza can run up to $6. It's definitely a must try for the late afternoon or late night snacker. They are open until Midnight.

Talking to the friendly clerk, it sounded like the market gets quite busy during lunch time. I didn't try any of the food, but it looked pretty good. They also carry some local chocolates - I did try the wine truffles which the clerk recommended. They were $6 for four individually wrapped treats. The truffles satisfied my craving for sweets perfectly and I thought were reasonably priced. I would come back here if I were looking for a convenient snack and it were too miserable too go outside. The service was good here, but I'm taking off a star because the prices are not clearly marked and I had to ask about quite a few items.
