Ghent Grab & Go — Local services in Norfolk

I never, EVER, write google reviews for places, but Ghent, Grab, and Go deserves it.

I go to a school that’s only a 5 minute walk away, and the fact that we students have a convenient store where we can binge on all our favorite snacks that is a reasonable distance from school is truly amazing.

I started going to Ghent, Grab, and Go when one of my classmates, L (no real name for privacy), gave a class announcement that we all needed to try this new convenience store in the area. He spoke highly of the place, and I definitely trusted L’s judgment on places that I should visit.

The rest is history. Me and all my school friends have become Ghent, Grab, and Go regulars. We make sure to go there at least once every week to get our daily fix of snacks. For me, Sean/Shawn (idk how to spell his name properly) has become a local friend of mine. He knows me by name and my favorite item, Trolli Peach Rings. He also tells me about the new developments the store gets. I’m particularly excited about the milkshakes starting in March.

First time stopping in here and I do not normally review a convenience store... well this is like a convenience store plus local farmer's market, international food store, package store (with NA options), bakery AND they have Dole Whip on tap!! I've been driving and running by this place for a while now and my only regret is I didn't stop in sooner! Literally has everything from bottom shelf beer and lays chips to plant based cake slices! Local made products, imported spices, rice, beans, stuff I've never even heard of but want to try! We settled for a case of Liquid Death sparkling water (for cheaper than other places even on sale!), snack mix, slim Jim, sardines in hot sauce, a slice of vegan plant based carrot cake, local cold brew coffee and local hydration drink. Oh and of course some Dole Whip WATERMELON! We'll be back soon! Owner was awesome as well! Sean (I apologize if I didn't spell that correctly) was very nice and even talked to...

Awesome small business in neighborhood. Conveniently located close to where I live.

Got all the snacks and drinks.

One of my favorite perks in this neighborhood store is that they got good amount of asian ingredients. Saves me a trip from driving when I feel inspiration to make asian food at home. They got chili oil, indian spices, frozen indian food. Tamarind paste and rice noodles to make a mean pad thai sauce. Gochujang to make korean food. Jamaican curry powder, Thai curry pastes.

Encourage everyone to come stop by and check it out! The owner is a...
