"Shopping in Andersonville usually involves going from a little boutique to a thrift store to a littler boutique. This is charming during the summer, but not when it’s 11 degrees outside. Thankfully at Middle East Bakery & Grocery, you can get something to eat (like kebabs and falafel), and buy a bunch of other stuff without spending any time outside at all. They have lots of fresh baked goods, along with cute imported items. And unlike when your friend drags you from Village Discount to Crossroads then to The Brown Elephant for a ’90s denim jacket, here you can get all your shopping done in one trip." - josh barnett
