I love Dean and Deluca in theory, but in practice they're kind of overpriced. I have no qualms about paying for quality, and there stuff is delicious, but it's not $80 a pound of whatever delicious. Their espresso bar is good, however, and not much for expensive than Starbucks, etc. It's fun to occasionally go in and splurge on a single serving of something, but otherwise you can get the same quality for cheaper prices elsewhere.
