Somehow I had no idea this was even here, and has been for over a year! We used to shop at the Sunshine Market (though admittedly, not very often; only when we happened to be nearby and needed a few things and didn't want to go to a full-blown supermarket. Sunshine actually filled in a perfect niche between running to the gas station because you ran out of milk and going to Hannadford/Adam's/Shoprite for your weekly shopping. But I digress).
It was a nice little surprise, but a few notes:
Cons:
1) Yes, it is expensive, though the quality of all of the items (prepared and freshly made) seems high
2) Yes, it's full of hipsters (both employees and customers) so if this annoys you for some reason, prepare yourself ahead of time
3) It's only half the size of the old Sunshine market (which is kind of weird... what's in the other half of the building? It even still says Sunshine Farm Market on the east side of the building)
4) The counter setup sucks. There's about 5 employees milling about (and more in the back) but it's unclear where to place your order, where to pick it up, who to pay, and where to wait. The store could REALLY use an "Order here" and "Pickup here" sign, but I guess it's not cool and would mess up their feng shui or whatever, so be prepared to get frustrated with this. I actually flagged down an employee and asked if I was suppose to order at the counter and pay at the register and she actually said "Either one". Then when some other employee finally came out to take my order, he gave me a terminal to pay for my order... at the counter... not at the register... Yikes. This place rivals Sunrise Bagels for worst ordering flow.
5) What the hell is a Refillery?
Pros:
6) Plenty of parking in front
7) A customer bathroom is available though it's kind of awkwardly positioned in the main sales floor area
8) Kingston Standard is next door, which I have been meaning to try, but it was closed. Maybe next time!
9) We ordered some food, sandwiches, and baked goods. All were really fresh and tasty. Portion size didn't look like much but actually we found it quite adequate.
10) There's a nice seating area out back with tables, benches, and chairs
