This is the newest grocery store in the area. There's a coffee/tea bar inside that also sells quick bites. Prices on groceries are lower here than Whole Foods but the quality is still great. It's a little tougher to walk to but if you want to save some money on groceries, this is a good option.

Food scene

Go here if you want really amazing BBQ. Period. Get there early. When they sell out, they close their doors. And people don't mind that their business model is like that. They just know to get there early. It's that good. Try anything. You'll love it. Including slices of cake the size of your face. Oh, and they have Topo Chico. What more do you need?
