This place has come close to perfecting the grocery store experience. I became addicted to the pilot Metro Market in Milwaukee, and I'm so happy that Madison (area) got one.
-Their cheese department is amazing. Get to know Liz - she knows her cheeses and is fun to talk with. The selection is growing every day and they really have a pretty unique set of products.
-Their produce selection is great and fresh and is curated to remove the not fresh stuff (think like the opposite of Woodman's)
-Bakery, Meat, Seafood good also
-Well laid out and clean
-Prices are fair - for the most part, similar to Copp's
I'm a bit confused why they chose the Cottage Grove location, since it's not really a metro area, but I continue to make the drive from downtown.
