As a chef I often need a few sprigs of thyme, mint or maybe just one eggplant. This is a great place it is small in size but has enough of the things I need to go when I am in a pinch. They have a huge bakery and restaurant, not a big fan of chinese bakery and the food is so-so. I'm happy I can always get NC farm raised fish, the occasional thyme and a small selection of Indian spices and all the coconut milk I can ever use
