| - So far, my grocery shopping experiences in Phoenix have been phenomenal. Except for that time I went to Walmart, which universally sucks.
I love when a produce section is organized so immaculately that you really don't know if you should touch anything, but you do anyway. Then, when you choose a cucumber and remove it from its perfect pyramid without having to yell Jenga, it feels like such a victorious accomplishment.
Produce games aside, everything in this store just has an air of classiness and order. The lighting even has a romantic dimness. I walk around and feel so fancy... and I'm so not fancy but walking around here makes me feel like drinking tea with an outstretched pinky.
Ok... then reality hits when I start looking at prices. They have sale items like other stores but for the most part, you're paying for that lavish feeling. That is my one and only issue. Because I'm cheap.
Other than being a bit pricey, I love this place. Besides grocery shopping, I've come here to grab lunch a couple of times. The salad bar has adequate offerings. I've also had a wrap from the bistro, it was good, as was the pasta salad I got with it.
There's also an ample assortment of beer which is nice (*mandatory for me to love a store). The wine section looked... well it looked like they have wine. I don't drink it so I didn't explore further.
I'll end up adding to or updating this review at some point because I haven't tried their bakery, coffee or tea yet. When I do, I'll let you know if it's raised pinky status.
