| - I love what this place is striving towards. Things I specifically love:
1) a stable, dependable, local outdoor farmer's market on Saturday and Wednesday - full of awesome local goods and repping the people who actually grow/make the stuff
2) a permanent building housing a stock of a selection of said goods, open most days of the week
3) although i'm already a locavore, discovering new sources for real food, like DoubleCheck Ranch's beef etc - i'm a huge fan!
4) the cool design and layout of the structure
5) a genuinely friendly atmosphere and helpful, if still learning, staff
6) the constantly fresh-roasted beans at the Royal Coffee Bar - hayes is the (somewhat effeminate) man!
7) a place to keep discovering new quirky local arts and foodstuffs
I hope to give this 5 stars in the future. Here's what needs to happen:
1) be open on Sunday
2) expand your offerings and keep the shelves filled (i know this is a challenge)
3) have more ppl available to help ring up during busy times (market saturday, etc)
4) inspire more confidence that if i order a sammich, i'll get it before dinner (i haven't ordered one yet, but i'm scared to because i don't know who's gonna make it - i don't see anyone cooking stuff!)
Ultimately, this is EXACTLY the kind of stuff phoenix needs in its efforts to be the "real city" that everyone bitches it ain't. So if you want it to succeed and want more of this in phoenix's future, support it. Give constructive feedback. Buy real local food instead of the crap at most supermarkets.
You have 3 choices: support, bitch or get stoned and order domino's
