Friendly staff. Lots of local goods. And different kind of goods available that normally not available in other regular grocery stores. I hang around while waiting for ferry. And had ice tea. Nice little bakery and restaurant on the side. Easy free parking

I go there wanting to buy various grocery items but end up typically buying less.
