Pines Pantry

Fran Tirado’s Grub Street Diet

"The only grocery store in the Pines serves as a convenient crew hub and a reliable deli/bakery stop for locals and visitors alike. Its large cold brew on tap, often dressed with a sweet Coffee‑Mate vanilla creamer, is a go-to morning pick-me-up, and a daily combo deal discounts breakfast sandwiches. A favored trick is to request a croissant fresh from the bakery and have the deli build a hot sandwich on it — sliced ham, cheese, eggs, and hot sauce was described as sublime — and the market also handles last-minute lunch orders, snacks, and drinks for shoots and small productions." - Rima Parikh, Ryan Inzana
