| - I love Festival - this is where I get all my grocery shopping done. I try to get all my shopping done in one stop - but that's why I have to give it 4 stars. Some days, the are completely out of produce I need - like jalapeƱos, cilantro, etc. They have organic versions of them if you're desperate but they are a lot more expensive. They have an Asian section, but it's a lot of basic things. I always have to go to an Asian store to get more specific spices/powders/noodles that I would expect to be at festival. I am aware you can request them to stock certain things - Haven't gotten around to that yet but maybe one of these days I will.
Anyway, onto the good stuff. The workers here are super friendly, the store is always clean and the liquor section is pretty damn good. They have a very good section for vegetarian/vegan food. Almond milk, beyond meat brand, daiya cheese, you name it.
They also have a place where you can buy ready made food like pastas, lasagna, potatoes, etc. (Sushi and rotisserie chicken too!) If you want to eat then and there, you can take it up to the Mezz and microwave it. There's plenty of seating up there and free Wi-Fi as well! If you're in the mood for some drinks, there's a bar with really affordable drinks and free popcorn :) We've played shuffle board here, sat on the balcony when it was warm and even played trivia! Super odd one of my favorite places to just hangout is the bar above my grocery store but hey, that's what makes it special!
