This place has so many little tidbits for living the good life, they could rename it 'Good Life…read moreStation' or 'Good Life Company' -- for the company you will keep, and how this company keeps you ... fed, nourished, and I might even say acknowledged! I found the staff to be impressively knowledgeable and encouraging. I got a small bottle of a beautiful, snowy sake in a frosted blue bottle, an Italian spritzer-type thing, a boxed Merlot -- never tried such a thing before! -- and a sour cherry lambic-like drink, plus smoked Gruyere for later pizza-making, lavender-herb easily spreadable goats' milk cheese, and a selection of olives, feta, pickled red and green peppers and lemon in one handy-dandy small and portable, easy-to-use box! I really lived it up with these items out on the porch at home later .... I greatly enjoyed my meal of Beet and Grilled Apricot salad with creamy cilantro dressing (substitute for vinaigrette), and candied pecans -- all so very mmm! I love beets and must get almost any beet salad that may potentially come my way -- and here, I had two to choose from! The one I got was a special so not always available. The peaches in it were hard enough that they didn't mush-n-gush all over. They were easy to pick up with a fork and bite without them splashing or sliding all oozy-goozy- all over the place, and they had the nice dark marks of grilling right on them, visibly, for proof of having been grilled! That was fun to see. My dining partner had the fish tacos and apparently, those were very good. The table service was really nice, friendly, professional, skilled, and knowledgeable. I wouldn't say the food was exactly prepared swiftly but I also wasn't paying attention so I'm not sure -- because I was too busy browsing and purchasing items in the adjoining store to notice when the food even arrived. I wasn't there, but buying my deliciousness-to-go! What a wonderful time-saver! It was not too loud when I was there, the sunlight was streaming in the rather large windows, and I had a great time looking at the nice lighting fixtures, perusing goods, speaking with staff, and of course eating my most delicious salad! All-around highly recommended on all fronts -- or at least all the ones I tried -- comprising both the dining and shopping experiences ....

I live in the Kensington area and had been meaning to try this spot. Hadn't gone because I was…read moreunsure about the ambience. Wasn't sure if I needed to dress up, be casual etc. I had the perfect opportunity to visit last night. There's ample parking in the back, if all spots are taken there are spots across the street too. We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated. We ordered the figgy piggy flatbread, chicken tenders with fries and the steak frites and desserts. The flatbread was yummy! I enjoyed it very much. The steak frites smelled delicious ! Even the couple next to us ordered this same dish based on the smell alone. The fries were crispy and very flavorful. The steak (ordered medium) wasn't as flavorful as I would've liked. It also wasn't as tender. I tried my niece's chicken tenders and they were ok. Nothing special, not as crispy. They were more stringy and dry. We ordered desserts too! Tiramisu and crème brûlée. Both delicious ! The ambience is casual. The people are friendly (Kensington is a very friendly place !). I was also surprised to know they had an upstairs level ! Overall, it was fun and the food was hit or miss. I would try it again and try something new.

It made my coffee taste extra tasty! The service was friendly and professional; I tipped an extra $2 but decided next time I would tip more. Yes! There will be a next time because of the blueberry scone; my Mom and I agreed it was the BEST we have ever eaten! The photo doesn't bring it justice since we ate most of it... the fresh ingredients were EVERYTHING! It's quaint inside with a couple of booths to sit at... they have quite extensive choices of wine and beer if that's your cup of tea! Me, I'm sticking to the baked goods and iced coffee! Looking forward to returning soon!

I did not partake in that because the line was way too long. That's why I decided to stop in choice Wine and beer before heading out to the parking garage. I specifically had in mind what I wanted to buy. Flying Dog Truth Unleashed IPA variety pack. I found one 12 pack left. It was $25.99, but they had a 10% off all beer sale, which saved me $2.80. I didn't know they applied a credit card surcharge of 3.00%. Is this a new thing? I would have paid in cash. Had I known they did this since I had enough money in my wallet. The two gentlemen working were super nice so that made up for it.

Worst store in Montgomery County. The woman clerk, whom I assume owns the place, is very rude,…read moreracist and prejudice. She snatches money from you, returns your change on the counter, doesn't acknowledge customers until after several attempts and just overall bad customer service. On top of that, the store isn't all that clean. There are definitely better places to shop for quality beer and wine. Oh, did I mention the prices are inflated, most of the wine bottle are covered with dust and there is a minimum dollar amount before using card transactions. She was rude to not only my friend but also me. Sad thing, we approached the counter for two separate transactions. So his encounter had nothing to do with my encounter but we both were treated poorly. This weekend was my last time visiting that store. If you want to be treated fairly and with respect, don't shop there.
