OK. Decent product, decent pricing. Service staff is friendly but I've found they occasionally are over perfumed. Which doesn't work for me. So while it might be an OK place to order from, but the eat-in experience is something we avoid.

Produce, frozen goods, housewares.
Fresh baked goods.
During the spring you can find some great plant stock here.
Inexpensive. Good selection.
