It's nice to have a market in such a touristy area, but check your expiration dates carefully.

Uncaring, rude staff. Expired food. I don't recommend this place to others. There's an Amazon go nearby.

I popped in to this small grocery store during a break in the conference I was attending because the hotel restaurant was packed but the weather wasn't ideal for venturing far. I was able to get a custom sandwich plus soup for a reasonable price and enjoyed them at one of the small tables near the entry. The staff were patient and helpful. A hidden gem for conference-goers looking for a bit of quiet and a simple meal!

“Best way to be thrifty.”

Best way to be thrifty. Ready made soup, salads, and dinners to go. Deli for sandwiches or cold cuts to go. Great stop for all groceries, water, wine, beer, and snacks to avoid hotel upcharge. Prices are super reasonable. Chicken tortilla soup was really good (all three of us agreed). Tables for eating while there are clutch. Everything was very clean and all counter help was nice. Tom was very welcoming and entertaining. Highly recommend this place and will be back during our trip.

“This is a decent little spot if you need something in a pinch.”

This is a decent little spot if you need something in a pinch. I was hoping for some premade sandwiches and while they did have some made premade food, there was nothing that really caught my eye however, if you’re in the neighborhood and don’t wanna hook it to somewhere far, this could be a good little spot. They do have a fresh deli where they will make you a sandwich, but I opted not to get a fresh made sandwich because there was no display indicating, anything I wanted

“Good selection of items one may need when staying in a nearby hotel.”

Good selection of items one may need when staying in a nearby hotel. Bakery items in small bags were nice for snacking. Only negative to my visit was the ladies behind the deli/bakery area were not very friendly/eager to help me when I asked a question. That's not the way to treat visitors to your city/state.

“Nice selection in the city center.”

Nice selection in the city center. Also nice healthy pre prepared meals I'm the deli and a wine and liquor section. The grocery section is just a very cramped. Can't really have more than one person in an aisle at a time causing some gridlock. I do understand the space constraints though.

Perfect little store to grab some premade wraps and fruit to bring with us for the day. Perfect spot for a tourist like me to load up!
