It does have it's own quirks but for the most part it's a great place to find good quality products that aren't too expensive.\n\nPROS:\n* Always has a unique item to taste in the back of the store.\n* Workers always seem happy and helpful\n* 2 buck chuck wine (Most of their wines are good and inexpensive)\n* Plentiful organic selections and choices for vegans including soy cheese \n* Unsalted raw nuts and seeds\n* Shampoo and soap without laurel/laureth sulfates \n\nCONS\n* They won't have everything you are looking for. No coconut Oil, unbagged greens, sometimes you have to by produce in bulk\n* Parking can be bad on Saturday and around rush hour."^^ . "1"^^ .
