Essentials

Local natural grocery store with hot and cold deli, bakery, and desserts. Cafe seating with large windows. When you're feeling indecisive, New Seasons is a good option because between their hot bar, salad bar, hot wok, and sandwich station, they can cure any craving. Open until 10 PM in the summer.
