All of the bread stands are excellent. Lots of good produce, though I’d avoid the stand that doesn’t list its prices. There are a few stands that change every week - sometimes there are artists selling their work, or free blood pressure measurements, or vegan food like kimchi or cupcakes, or Girl Scouts selling cookies! Oftentimes there are lovely street musicians. I highly recommend the empanadas & salteñas from DMV Empanadas - they’re even better warmed up at home, and don’t forget some little sauce cups! I also love the ice cream pints from Broom’s Bloom Dairy. Rain or shine, limited parking, no dogs allowed, credit cards accepted at many stands (but cash is always appreciated).

Convenient and (understandably) a bit pricey. The store is small but neat and densely stocked with a great selection of the basics. Their produce selection is bigger than I would have expected and generally good quality (often better than Giant) - their avocados always ripen up perfectly! They also have a huge cheese selection and a ton of Asian items. They have fresh flowers by the entrance, and there’s fresh bread (I think from a local bakery) near the checkout. Regarding another review's complaint, I've never witnessed any cold groceries sitting out for too long in the aisles waiting to be stocked. Further, I’ve never had a problem with any of the cold items I’ve purchased (milk, cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, yogurt, ice cream, frozen fries, etc). The store has baskets and small shopping carts. The cashiers are friendly and efficient. There is a small fee (5 or 10 cents) per plastic bag if you need them; their bags are very sturdy and larger than normal, so you could definitely reuse them. I included a photo of my recent receipt, which shows some of their prices.

Consistently excellent. The chicken is very high quality!

I highly recommend the Chongqing chicken (spicy) and the sesame chicken - a good combination of Szechuan & American Chinese dishes. Chengdu chicken, lo mein, egg rolls, dumplings, and crab rangoons are all very good.

Great delivery experiences. Overall, a little pricey, but absolutely worth it.
