Wonderful selection of biodynamic wines, artisan cheeses and specialty products. They also have salads and sandwiches to go. I highly recommend stopping by for a breakfast treat (they carry craftsman & wolves and tartine) and a coffee. The woman with the brown curly hair is sooooo kind and helpful.

Easily my favorite little independent market with a bunch of cool stuff in it a la that store David opened in Schitts Creek. Staff is super friendly and I would buy actually everything in there if I had the money. Dont overlook the sandwiches. They are prime.

This is my go to place for coffee beans. They only stock great roasters. Also their house coffee is four barrel roasters. How can you go wrong?My only suggestion for the owners is to please be mindful of roast dates and keep coffee stock as fresh as possible.

Food and service both not good. They promise me to bring the bagel out but after almost 20 minutes they where talking and didn’t apologize for letting my bagel get cold on the counter. The price of one bagel is crazy (14 dollar). The bagel isn’t even fresh made. Everything together I will not spend any money here if I where you!

Broth baby is an all around great experience. The broth is incredibly flavorful and very consistent. It can be used as a base for a large number of sauces, starchy dishes, or proteins (my personal favorite). It it also flavorful enough to be consumed on its own. The people are a pleasure to deal with and delivery makes the whole process quite convenient. 3 Thumbs up!

I love dropping by the Epicurean Trader. They have all sorts of goodies, in an open, unpretentious interior. Recently, they began having more lunch foods as well, which is a great excuse to go get a great sandwich and then pick up a few things while Im there. Its especially perfect for getting hostess gifts and contributions to the nibbles or drinks for a party.Which brings me to the spirits selection! Its fantastic, and always fun to go look at the latest bottles. Ive found treasures here I cant find anywhere else. Last year we got gifts for all our spirits-appreciating relatives here and they loved them. We belong to the whisky club and look forward to some new, local and interesting whisky every month or two. Thanks for creating and running such a unique and friendly store!

Neat shop but I wasnt impressed with the truffle grilled cheese panini. Seems it was fake truffle oil not real mushrooms and was very messy to eat. The bread was awesome, Ill probably give them another try.

Lots of random items at high prices. They cab provide service like giving you a cheese plate as long as you tell them your budget and bring a plate. Its never affordable or amazing just easy and sometimes fun.

Review №38

Good selection of products BUT all the prices are 10-20% more expensive than they should be (nikka coffee grain whiskey 79.99 vs 69.99 everywhere else, vida mezcal 7 dollars more, challarhocker a few dollars more prr lb, etc) and the service is horrendous. Guy working had no idea about any cheeses, wouldnt let you try cheese, wasnt nice at all. Shame.
