During the pandemic I bought a gift card and I decided to finally use it. I was very surprised how…read moresmall the store is, it packs a lot of stuff into it. The isles are incredibly narrow, I am of average weight and I maybe had a half a foot on each side in the aisle. The produce didn't seem very fresh, so I skipped over that. I did enjoy some of the weirder, nontraditional grocery store items like squid jerky. However, I am vegan and I struggle to find vegan items within all of the options. If you think snow, parking is very tricky. Unless you live downtown and you plan on walking, be prepared to do a little bit of walking in order to get to the store. The store also had alcohol, and toiletries. What the store is known for is their deli, which I did not partake in. I hear their sandwiches are amazing but I didn't see any vegan options.

The vegan cranberry quinoa salad and fresh hot soup are delicious with other options like cut beets, thai peanut rice noodles, etc and the vegan rice crispy square with rainbow sprinkles is flat-out addictive (I had to go back for a second after trying my partner's). The bulk section is full of gems too -- I especially love the grain free vegan granola. Prices can run a little high, but it's worth it for what feels like a home cooked meal and because it supports a co-op. In love with the recent update that opened the store all the way through to the back garden and easy parking -- such a great vibe. Go here, smell the herbs, and check out a crystal shop near by. Perfect day. 040725

I used to love walking around shopping this market before the world changed. Even though it isn't…read morequite as fun to drive through it is definitely convenient and I am just happy to be able to get my produce and support them. There are weeks you can just drive up and make your selection immediately and then there are times you have to wait in a long line and when you get to the front your options are very limited. Either way they post their menu on Facebook every week and the selection is still pretty great. All of the staff are always upbeat and very friendly and helpful. I'm grateful that they are finding a way to continue doing this!

If you want to experience Flavor Town, eat at Warfuel Kitchen! After a long drive from Nevada, I…read morestopped by this place close to closing time. Sam was incredibly helpful in creating a vegan-friendly, protein-packed meal. Most places don't allow protein substitutes, but she suggested using chickpeas in their teriyaki rice box, and let me tell you, it was delicious and satiating. The presentation of the food is what you'd call eye candy, and the portions are substantial. This place is definitely worth the visit, a true hidden gem in Tucson. Thanks again Sam!

If you just type in their address, it doesn't put you in the right spot. You have to park in the parking lot off of Main Street and then walk around to get to the entrance. Today, I thought I'd pick up a few things for lunches this week and some wellness shots for my husband and I was coming from an unfamiliar direction and I was lost and sent off course down 2nd Street since my last review, I've tried some of their made to order smoothies and boy. What a treat. I like the peanut butter and jelly protein smoothie very much. They've updated the look of their menu so it's much better lit when it was previously written out by hand and now it's just much more professional with pictures. The location is very small, but there is seating and a microwave, to heat up and enjoy any of the prepped meals out of the refrigerated cases. I feel that their prepared meals are generous size and usually have trouble eating the whole thing and try to just eat half, saving the other half for lunch the next day. I believe each entrée is $11 and they're made in the morning and they put on their expiration date so if you buy it take it home you know you'll need to eat it in a few days. The labels on the meals are color-coded, and so if you are looking for certain types of meals, look on their website and I'll give you a color key based on the type of diet you're following on which meals to pick. Since I am allergic to celery and fennel, I know that those ingredients are none of their meals and so I know I can safely eat without worrying about allergies. Taking that into account, I love their chipotle meatloaf; a dish that typically has celery mixed in. I've encouraged my friends and they have all agreed that Warfuel kitchen is a great spot for people who interested in getting freshly prepared meals to go.

My friend has been before and so he ordered the sampler plate that allowed us to choose 5 items from both vegetarian and meat menus. We tried lamb, fish, chicken with rice and injera. There is a homemade cheese on the middle that is very mild and helps to ease the spices on your palate. The injera was extremely sour. I heard that is how it's supposed to be since it's made from a in-house fermentation process. Overall service was good. I'm glad I got to try it!

First time here, and it definitely won't be our last!…read more We were pleasantly surprised to find parking right up front on a packed Friday night. Even better, we were seated immediately. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and we were greeted right away by a friendly server who helped us get settled. My husband was starving, so we placed our order as soon as we sat down, and the food arrived within 15-20 minutes. The service throughout the evening was outstanding. Our water glasses were kept full, and our server checked on us regularly without being intrusive. We started with the smoked beets, which were absolutely incredible. I'll honestly be thinking about that dish for days! We also ordered the seafood platter with shrimp, crab claws, oysters, and three slices of sashimi. Everything on the platter was fresh and beautifully prepared. The oysters and sashimi were rich, creamy, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The steak frites was another standout. I was pleasantly surprised to see it featured picanha steak. It was packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, and incredibly tender. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience with great food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We can't wait to come back!

They looked absolutely mouth watering and were about $20/lb. We also ordered a Steak Frites to go and it was honestly perfection. The most perfectly medium-rare steak with so much flavor along with the perfectly crisp French fries. The baby bleu shallot sauce was just okay. The taste of fat was stronger than the other ingredients. But the fries were so beautifully cooked that you honestly don't need any sauce at all. Just enjoy their tallow fried goodness! Customer service was okay. Our order was handled quickly but our friend who placed the order felt uncomfortable in the space. Some of the young staff members were repeating her name and then would laugh and she felt a bit self-conscious because of it. There were also a lot of people in the food prep area laughing and hanging out, which didn't feel super clean. But, due to the fantastic quality of the food, we will definitely be back and look forward to hopefully have an even better overall experience

The strawberries are loaded in house-made pistachio cream and ethically sourced milk chocolate. I will say the mini size is perfect for a single person, I was pretty satisfied with the amount and full after. My roommate got the regular size for $18 and saved the rest for later.

The designs were beautiful and the chocolate itself was good quality, but the flavors were so subtle that they all tasted one note. I also walked in expecting an experience, only to be welcomed into a space that felt cold and sterile. The interior had a few stainless steel panels (like a commercial kitchen), and the atmosphere felt a bit stale rather than warm or inviting. I was expecting something more immersive given the branding and presentation on social media.
