| - As some reviews pointed out, they are classy and more expensive than your regular grocery stores, but every penny is worth it. A lot of the items they carry are organic produce, and their effort to cooperate with local farmers is unparallelled. They run great specials weekly so keep an eye out for their brochures in store or online, those can help you procure some good stuff at discounted prices.
My favorite section is the bakery. Simply love their bread -- baked fresh everyday. I like their huge variety of selection and how they keep the classic breads such as the italian white bread and whole wheat bread daily, and also having a selection of artisan breads that vary from day to day. For those of you not into surprises, don't worry, they have a 'menu' where they clearly state which breads they are baking on which day.
Their cakes, macarons and fruit tarts also have me hooked. It is the only place I get my whole cakes from. I like the moist texture of their cakes, and the level of sweetness -- not too sweet, not too bland either. Most of the cakes have fresh fruits and/or fresh cream on them. All these factors make their cakes uniquely right for me. If you are unsure, you can always give their sliced cakes a try first before getting them whole.
To be honest this is not the only place where I get my groceries. But once in a while when I am craving that premium ribeye, alaskan king crabs or other delicacies, I tend to splurge that much more =)
