The fried paneer (paneer pakoda) is amazing & there is often free chai!
You can order hot meals at the counter & sit at one of the tables or get some take out or groceries to go. The atmosphere isn't anything fancy but the food is great!

Edgefield is awesome, quirky, and a destination in and of itself.
There's a pool hall, restaurant & pub, brewery, wine tasting room, distillery bar... they make their own beer, wine, and spirits. There's often live entertainment, and concerts outside in the summer.
In the day time glass blowing on site, a golf course and movie theater, a spa, and organic gardens to stroll in.

Essentials
I actually can't stand Winco because of the fluorescent lights and warehouse feel. But my bestie likes it-- the prices are low & it's the closest grocery store to my house. Great bulk food section in the back. Not much in terms of organic produce :(
