We came on a Thursday when they have a couple options for a $12 pitcher of beer. What a deal! I also had the strawberry wine cocktail and it was sweet but really delicious.

The potato salad was good but just keep in mind it tastes cajun like it has old bay in it which isn't bad just wasn't what I expected. Overall I would come back especially with lots of specials and live music!

Received a salad with no dressing, waited 10 minutes and still no dressing so I had to track down the server. We were charged for beers we never received. I asked to talk to the manager and then the manager went to talk to the server. They took off the beers we never received but the manager never came back, never apologized or even seemed to care about the poor service. I then saw the manager sitting with people at the bar drinking himself so apparently the customers must have been an inconvenience to the staff.

We were…read morethere right at open during the farmers market and there was an initial rush that died down after 15 or so minutes. The bartender was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgable about the products; answering some questions I had about proofing. It's in a great spot downtown right next to the farmers market with plenty of street parking. There are a few sidewalk tables but a nice open space inside. The inside doesn't allow dogs, however, due to their kitchen. Speaking of... The pizza was pretty good! I feel the most important part of any pizza is the crust and that was the best bit of theirs. The fresh ground flour adds a ton of flavor and they got a decent char on the bottom and rim. The prices weren't terrible and 1 pizza with some booze fed both of us. My only gripe is that they go heavy on the cheese so the (excellent) crust can't hold up to the weight and wetness. That's made a bit worse by they fact that they use a high-moisture mozzarella so there's a lot of grease that can soup the whole deal up. All in all they make fantastic spirits, service is great, and now have good pizza at a decent price. I think this may be my go to spot for meeting friends when I'm in Northfield.

I find all their food quite salty, and sadly avoid the paneer, Swedish meatballs, or really anything with a lot of sauce. But I don't cook with much if any added salt at home, so "take that with a grain of salt!" Produce is usually high quality-and often I pass on it due to price. I tend to buy a few unusual items there that are hard to find elsewhere. The micro greens ,sprouts, unusual seasonal fruit like persimmon and fresh figs, and crazy many kinds of mushrooms make it a must shop stop for me. My fave dessert is the chocolate chip walnut cookie---if all they have is plain chocolate chip I take a hard pass, those are nothing special. I have quite a sweet tooth and the bars and such always look incredible. But, I think they are only pretty good. I am not sure why. Except those cookies I mentioned above. Yum. Croissants deliver on the promise-as does the fresh bread. Yes, that rosemary sourdough is worth it. And the baguettes are a must have to go with the cheeses you will turn around and pick up. The soup is great and it is also available on the top shelf of the refrigerated deli area.

My wife and I recently stopped here for lunch, and to pick up a few groceries for our daughter who…read moreis attending college in town. The store is small, but is neat and well organized. The Deli had an impressive variety of both hot and cold offerings. We picked out a couple sandwiches for lunch, the Cuban and the Chimayo. The sandwiches were made fresh and were larger than I expected. The Cuban was pretty good for a small deli not specializing in Cuban food. It had chipotle mayo on it instead of traditional mustard, which I thought actually worked pretty well. The Chimayo is essentially a fancy turkey sandwich but the flavor combinations they came up with for it are great. I would recommend both this one and the Cuban, and judging by these two, you probably couldn't go wrong with the others on the menu. They also have a large variety of prepackaged salads and other items in the cold case. I did not sample any of these but the variety was nice, and they all looked fresh. I might have rated this five stars for the deli alone, but we did need to buy a few groceries, and that's what brought it down to four stars. I understand the Co-op ideals of organic, locally grown, etc., but everything was more expensive than any other grocery store, even for basic items. It's still a nice place and I wouldn't say don't go there for groceries, but if you do, expect to pay a premium. And be sure to check out the deli when you're there!
