This is the kind of store that every town should have. Better than a "Whole Paycheck" (Whole Foods), less crunchy than a local co-op, it has all the things for those on special diets or those just wanting organic and a higher quality of product.
This store, while as expensive as the main competitor, is the perfect place to buy gluten free, paleo, organic, probiotic, no sugar, lactose intolerant and other food allergy specialty foods. In addition to an amazing bin section, it has some of the most gorgeous produce, a full service deli, cheese, meat and coffee bar (which is excellent coffee, btw) a bakery, as well as a salad bar, hot bar, olive and soup bars. There are many options, sometimes so many I cannot decide and end up spending 3x the normal amount just in my indecision.
There is a enormous wine and beer section, highlighting local brews and wineries from the area, and a warm cafe area. There are seats outside, and during the summer it is a gorgeous spot to sit, eat, drink coffee or relax. This visit, it hovered around 10 degrees with snow so I took a pass on the outside views. Also, a very well stocked natural herbs and organic wellness products.
Staff is extremely attentive and involved. In each section, there was a friendly smile and eagerness to help you find the perfect item. They must treat their employees like gold, or pay them well, or both, because I have never had less than stellar customer service.
The trade off is the high prices, but sometimes you do get what you pay for.
