gpoll14fc853a30We love just down the road and have a young family. The Store helped us so much when we were in a bind for an ingredient or even a full meal. We also work from home, so heading over to the store for a coffee or a change of scenery made us so happy!Staple goods, beer/wine, charming snack foods/charcuterie/chocolate.Email hidden; Javascript is required.

gpoll14d534cdf8Deli, convenience items
gpoll14d534cdf8I bought selected grocery items there ( we live on Hopper Road) and it was my go-to choice for lunch and/or coffee, solo or with friends and students.In the past I bought milk, juice, pasta, wine when it was offered. In it most recent iteration it had excellent lunch offerings,

gpoll14d534cdf8coffee and breakfast pastries, some kind of deli, basic groceries
gpoll14d534cdf8No nearby access for food products or a place to take a friend to lunch, etc.More reasonable prices and variety of food. Not all high end expensive items. Comfort food, baked goods.
Basic groceries. Produce would also be great.I think it’s more important to preserve the building than the store per se. I’d be happy to see a gallery there, or a pub, or anything that could make a go of it.
gpoll1452154d8bVariousSame as before
gpoll14d534cdf8Unable to pick up basics. Miss meeting friends for coffee, lunch.Fresh produce, baked goods, basic items.

gpoll14d534cdf8Lack of community center; no close place for daily basic groceries
gpoll14d534cdf8needed transportation as opposed to walk to get coffee or foodbasic milk and eggs but also gourmet sandwichesHistory is important. Also hikers, bicycle riders visitors, locals love that spot. Keep the playground also!!
gpoll1405d616d8Miss the community aspect it offered.What the community "wants" does not always deliver a ROI, the business needs to make money to be sustainable which has been the issue for years even way back.Would be interested in hearing more.Email hidden; Javascript is required.
