Highland Park Corner Store is a good stop for picnic food - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation

"This small Highland Park market is a cute place to get lunch or stock up on picnic supplies. There are shelves of essentials (and by essentials we mean fancy potato chips, wine, and candy). There’s a counter that serves a selection of satisfying sandwiches and decent coffee drinks. And in the back, there’s an ice cream shop with fruity soft serve. Though a couple of the sandwiches don’t quite hit the mark (looking at you, oily Italian sub), the shady patio out front is a pleasant place to nibble on a couple of snacks and chill out for a bit.

The toasted stecca bun also gives the thing some crackle, while a chile vinaigrette keeps you on your toes. photo credit: Gabe Guarente Country Deli Club If you are a “big meaty sub” kind of person, this is the one for you—the ham and turkey are piled high and get along well with all the toppings. There’s a little too much cheese, though, which gums up the works. photo credit: Gabe Guarente Ice Cream Highland Park’s dessert stand called Tip Top makes tasty New Zealand-ice cream—frozen fruit that gets blended with scoops in a machine, resulting in nicely tart soft serve with firm ridges. Get the raspberry with some sprinkles on top. photo credit: Gabe Guarente" - Gabe Guarente
