My First Choice! This is a cool international grocery store…read moreon Wurzbach, on the far end of the Spice Road cultural district. The shop has all kinds of African and Caribbean stuff. They've got a large selection of Goya products, canned foods and dry beans and spices. They've got a healthy selection of Caribbean colas, which are always fun. I could try them all! The frozen selection is amazing! They've got heaps of food that has been imported from afar to end up here under ice. There's a small produce selection that seems to favor plantains. If they don't have it fresh, they'll have it frozen. My favorite were the large African sculptures they were selling by the door. The clerk was friendly and said "hi" when I came in. The merchandise looked all pretty fresh. I wish there were some things to help explain what some of the ingredients and products were. It'd be nice if they had recipes or cards that explained that these items are snacks, and these are ingredients. But if I had any questions, the clerk was happily standing by to answer. Parking is easy- it's in an African/Filipino strip shopping center. Cool.

They have a lot of African staple dishes such as MoiMoi/Ale/Olele, Jolaf Rice with fried tilapia, beef Suya, puff puff and many more! There is a small case of hot food in the front, and a semi deli in the back with vegetable skewers, braised beef, fried tilapia, and chicken. They used to have a braided goat that was magnificent, but have paused in production. I would go to the back and ask whenever you come. The beef sometimes get too chewy.

Although I've never purchased the vegetables, they always look fresh and always organized. They have ready made meals on the first aisle and they are always good. The grocery store is rather small but it has everything you need to prepare your meals. Also, they have a female cashier who can sing so good. Next time, I'll ask for her name. Thank you for always giving me a great shopping experience. Keep up the great work. TaKori

The next time I went and told the manager the spice I was looking for and he made fun of my pronunciation saying he didn't know what I was talking about and then told me where to look. Hate to say he exemplified the male stereotype for his culture. That won't stop me from shopping at this store as I can find what I need at a fraction of the cost compared to Amazon.

She even helped me find the items I was looking for. They carry so many authentic foods and ingredients that I used to eat and cook with when I lived in China, and it brought back so many wonderful memories. It honestly made me feel so nostalgic. To the people in the reviews saying it "smells"... that aroma is from authentic Chinese ingredients and spices. If you're not familiar with them, it might be different than what you're used to... but that's part of what makes this place so special! I just finished eating everything I bought, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm so full and so happy with my visit! If you're looking to support a wonderful small Asian grocery store with authentic products and genuinely kind people, I highly recommend stopping by. 10/10--I will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much!

So, I went on a quest to find it just with the knowledge of the cross streets. I found it! The bakery sells hot and packaged items. They have a freezer with goodies too. I had the zaatar bread and cheese bread. It was heated up in a brick oven. There's a lot of savory items, but they also have some sweet. He gave me a sample of a dessert made with dates. Of course, I had to order some baklava. There were so many things I wanted to taste, but I had already had lunch. The guy working that day tried his best to help us make a good choice. The place is small. They do have one table, but I suspect the food is mostly taken to go. Parking is on site and shared, but plentiful.
