I don't know what it is, but there seems be something in the water here in Malibu.
With it's 21 (not 27 miles) of scenic beauty...
(Look this one up, it's got interesting history)
With all of the Rich & Famous literally living their best lives...
And with every Malibu resident always smiling, looking cool & relaxed with no care in the world; It makes me want to drink the water too.
So naturally, with every upscale city, there needs to be an upscale place to do the grocery shopping and let me tell you, Malibu's Vintage Grocers knows what's up.
Not only is it an upscale grocery store, but it's a cool grocery store too and there's definitely nothin' wrong with that.
Every aisle you walk down is absolutely immaculate. The produce department looks like a museum with nothing out of place and the butcher (meat and seafood department) always looks picture perfect.
Vintage Grocers literally reminds me of how in the movie Titanic, Rose describes her recollection of the Ship as she begins to tell her story...
"It's been 84 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was."
It's like me saying...
It's been 7 years (when Vintage Grocers opened), and I can still see the paint drying. The fruit has never been touched. The butcher block has never been used. Vintage Grocers is called the grocery store of Dreams, and it is. It really is.
Haha...
RIP Jack Dawson, sorry buddy she let you go. =)
And for those of you that haven't seen Titanic,
Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert!
The Ship Sinks =(

In all seriousness, I absolutely love Vintage Grocers. I was super excited when they brought one to Thousand Oaks and very saddened when it closed shop.
I have always appreciated shopping at a higher-end grocery store. Yeah, you pay a little more, but you know what...you get what you pay for in life.
Quality isn't cheap and if you work hard in life, why not treat yourself to the finer things in this life?
What I love most about coming to a grocer like this is the small town feel you get; the real down to earth customer service that you receive that you will never get at the major grocery chains.
The fact that you will find product and brands at Vintage Grocers that quite honestly, you won't see hardly anywhere else is very unique and makes browsing the aisles that much for fun and interesting.
So if you find yourself in the Bu, stop by and see for yourself what makes this store so special.
To Malibu, To Vintage Grocers and its staff, I tip my hat to you and applaud you for your beautiful, cool grocery store.
