This store was my dream when I moved to Madison two and a half years ago. I could pick up fabu curries for lunch and YumYum cookies for dessert. They always had a cold diet coke, as well as that red pepper garlic sauce that is so addictive. Also, cat food if I was really in a bind--and apples and bananas. The owners knew me when I walked it which is just what I needed after moving here from a small town.
When the Corner Store changed owners, I was heartened that the previous owners and the new owners were longtime family friends and had owned a restaurant together in the past. Surely nothing would change--and very little did. Same face recognition, quite a few more Asian ingredients(almost worth the price of admission in and of themselves) , still cold diet cokes, and cat food. But then they quit using jasmine rice with the curries. The owner said it was just a glitch, but it kept happening. Maybe it's changed now as I have moved and not been there in a few months. If not having jasmine rice with your curries doesn't bother you, then this hidden gem may just be your place.
