It's a very good thing. (apologies to Martha Stewart).

Excellent cheeses & deli, good bakery (bewa buy earlier in the day
so you still have a selection to choose from). Nice produce. Awesome
sweets & confections.

I find it best for "ingredients" instead of "fully prepared" items.
Great price & good selection of grains, pastas, nuts, sauces. I have
found the frozen stuff to be a bit hit-and-miss, but it never hurts to
try once, right?

It's also a fun place to shop. You'll love it, I'm sure. I wish I had
one so near!
