Essentials
I mean enough said, everyone loves this place whether your shopping for food, wine, treats, flowers, or last minute birthday cards. This slightly unconventional market has all the necessities and much much more. Explore each and every aisle for some kind of new snack or meal helper which you likely won't find at your normal run of the mill grocery store. Great place to bring the kids, family, or just stop by on your way out for the day to grab some some great pre made lunch items. Personal staple favorites: Trader Joe's Green Dragon Hot Sauce, Riced Cauliflower, and Joe Joe cookies. Side note: Don't forget to bring your reusable shopping bag (you don't want to look like an outsider right?)
