They have all sorts of meat from beef to chicken and even sometimes rabbit. They also have eggs of different varieties including duck and turkey. They also have cheeses and charcuterie items. They have lots of pickled items. And even premade meals like pot pies, breakfast burritos, mac & cheese, and the last time I was in a stroganoff. In addition to food, they also have a few drink options like bottles of wine and beer. They even have dog food and dog treats. The store itself is decent sized. There's plenty of space for a few people to move around. They do have a large deli counter and a few coolers full of goodness. Service is always excellent. They are always helpful and can even offer suggestions if you don't know what to make with what. One of my go-tos are any one of their sausages. They have traditional ones plus a few fun ones. And if you watch their social media, they'll usually tell you when they have a limited addition one. The Rieger whiskey and apple sausage is one of my favorites. They also have a chicken curry sausage, which is excellent and has so much curry flavor. On my last visit I noticed that they have mac & cheese that you can take to go. They have a few different varieties, but I went with one with bacon because their bacon is always fantastic. It was a really good side. I slapped it on the grill to warm it up and it was delicious. Highly recommend. If you are in the city market area definitely stop in and check out what they have.

What really stood out right away was the service. The lady taking our orders was incredibly nice and personable, and she actually took the time to walk us through the menu to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. ​I went with the #5, which is their version of a Sicilian Muffuletta. It was phenomenal. It's stacked with mortadella, salami, provolone, ham, and Swiss cheese, topped perfectly with a red wine vinaigrette chopped olive salad, all sitting on a beautifully toasted seeded loaf. ​One of my friends ordered the #20 Reuben, and it was a masterpiece. We're talking melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu corned beef, legit sauerkraut from Brooklyn, house-made Russian dressing, and melty Swiss, all piled high between two buttery, toasted slices of marble rye bread. ​Naturally, I also grabbed a couple of their homemade chocolate chip cookies, and we got a raspberry and blueberry tiramisu that was absolutely terrific. You just can't leave a place like this without hitting the dessert menu! ​I consider myself very lucky to have experienced this spot.

It was very refreshing that the first gentlemen that helped us with the hard cheeses made sure we sampled cheese in an order that wouldn't muddle our pallet, and when we had questions beyond his expertise, he passed us onto Matt. Matt made our shopping experience so easy, exiting, and personalized. We could tell he was invested in our experience, and his recommendations were spot on! he was a ray of sunshine on a rainy day ( literally lol). If you enjoy cheese, this shop is a must!! P.S.

I saw a woman pour a little bit of vinegar into a little paper cup and sip it straight, so in true monkey-see-monkey-do fashion I did the same. My first taste was the White Peach Balsamic. Forget everything you know about balsamic vinegar, stuff this good is on a different plane of existence altogether. Wow! So syrupy and brightly flavored I now understood the glaring lack of bread cubes. Who needs them? The White Peach was like jam. I was instantly thinking of pouring it over ice cream, or ... ? It turned my world upside down. My budget permitted a purchase of just one bottle this trip, but you can rest assured I will be coming back to add to my collection. If you're curious, I chose the Lime Jalepeno Balsamic as my first bottle. All I add is a little oil, salt & pepper and I have a salad dressing that knocks my socks off!

I don't visit the hardware section often but I use pretty much everything else they offer. They have a huge seed selection and lots of flowers, bulbs, and even grass seed. Basically anything you need to start or maintain a garden and even your yard. In the spring and summer they have little starter plants if you don't want to mess with seeds. I exclusively buy my garden supplies from them. Coffee. They have a ton of bulk coffee and tea. You can get it ground and even whole. And they have seasonal specials too. They are competitive in price. I've gifted the tea but haven't tried it myself. Spices. So many spices. They have several mixes that I love and use-taco, garlic salt, Greek, even garam Marsala. You can probably find almost anything you need. When soup bases and dip mixes. They also have various candies, nuts, beans, and garden supplies throughout the store. The service has always been friendly and I love the old building it's housed in. Definitely check them out if you're in the City Market area.
