This is a local show-off stop when midwesterner out-of- towner's visit, they are blown away.
Here you can buy a wide variety of fresh produce, spices, breads, condiments, salad dressings, dairy and create a moveable high fiber feast ..as a younger dog, I used to craft most of my meals from a Korean produce stand in the Haight Ashbury, so I feel at home.
Always..check the culls on the east end, I have grabbed big bags of various bruised and imperfect fruits and veggies, raced home, and prepped them into something tasty abd durable, like a pear chutney, or blanched frozen broccoli florets to add to dinner plates with minimal effort. Take a cheap risk on an edible experiment.
Remember: Ketchup is to cull tomatoes as hotdogs are to (unmentionable) bits of carcass too scary to sell otherwise. A plant based recovery diet should start here. The friendly staff are always helpful...

If I can't use it right away, I just chop whatever it is up and put it in the freezer to use at a later time.
This place is rather small, however, so you won't find the craziest of variety (go buy your dragonfruit elsewhere!) but it's not bad! This is the only place where I am able to buy a small box of ripe bananas for $.99! Aside from that, they also stock spoces, cheeses, and ethnic non-perishables like sesame oil...
