SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MOM N POP SHOP!…read more I have been coming here for the last 5 years religiously. Hella loyal! The owners son is awesome, not sure his name but we friends. Always greets me, and if I request a beer, he always get's it in. If I'm a few cents short, they be like.."don't worry, I got you!" Can't beat that type of service. Their craft beer selection is expanding. I do think their main sellers are more of the bud light and modelo type of beer though. You can find anything here from tacks, toilet paper, toothpaste, pan dulce to bungee cords and fresh tortillas for Los Reyes Tortilleria. Only thing is the parking lot can get a little crazy on Friday and Saturday nights. They have an ATM inside, water machine outside and you can get gas for your grill or whateva there also. The homeless people and the lady chain smoking cigarettes outside of the business next door only give the place more character!

It took peak resistance for me not to pet it and be its friend. I was greeted, and asked if I needed any assistance while I was looking for a good gift for my brother more than a couple of times. After finding the winning bottle, I chose to look around see what other things they had to offer. I'm glad they have a larger selection of IPAs than hard seltzers. Even if I don't get something for myself, I like seeing that they give local breweries a chance to get their name out there

I asked the man at the counter if he could point me in the direction of what I was looking for. He did and then some!! I found exactly what I was looking for even though I only had a vague idea, thanks to him. I love the store, it's in a little shack next to the nursery on San Marcos blvd. They are reasonably priced (often less than the big stores). They have a good variety and it's fun to wander the aisles. Plus they have fun events and ever changing flights. Sign up for their emails so you know when they're serving something you'd like to try or something you know you like. Plus the outdoor patio is very pleasant. If you sit at the bar everyone chats, it's a nice environment!

My husband and I went here today for the first time after visiting the garden/ nursery next door…read more We were greeted with a smile and offered suggestions or help for finding any certain wines in their shop. When we arrived we were the only people in the shop so we asked the employee if the wine bar area was open and if we could grab a glass of wine. He said 'of course!' We sat down, and were able to easily see the wines available and pricing. The employee introduced himself as Jim, and we soon learned he was the owner! Within a few minutes more guests arrived and filled the space. Jim knew everyone's name, even asking about pets and upcoming trips. It seemed like a real community. I quickly got to know the other local guests, and learned about their wine club! From Jim's service, the great variety of wine, overall ambiance, and laid back vibes I would recommend everyone to check this out. I'm already looking forward to coming back for the wine club events! They do also serve a small selection of cold bottled beers and snacks like chips and crackers. I did see other guests bring in their own food, so maybe that's allowed too. Thanks Jim!

I am 66 with preexisting conditions and I got trapped at the back of the store while a constant stream of unmasked people entered the front. I was masked but that doesn't protect me from them. When I finally got up up to the counter I complained that Covid 19 safety wasn't being enforced and I was told that they weren't going to bother their customers. I said that it was fine for them behind plexiglass barriers but what about people like me. I was told to leave and never come back if I don't like it. I told them that they are violating State mandates and they threatened to physically throw me out.
