She was so wonderfully outgoing. Went back another time without the pups and stopped in to browse around- so many cute items, specialty food, candy , gifts etc. so much to browse through and such a cute shop. I only wish I lived closer now- we lived about 6 blocks away for years and never visited- it's not until you move do you appreciate it.

I visited based on a recommendation and I was not disappointed. I wanted to purchase a gift to…read moresupport local businesses over the holidays. I asked 'what screams 'Golden Fig' such that is will create a unique gift for a special foodie person. They recommended the hot chocolate mix and spices as they create both in house and are unique to their store. There are several options for each and I chose one chocolate and some homemade marshmallows to accompany and several slices that reminded me of far away travels. So fun. I had a ton of fun perusing the store. There were so many things to look at. Lots of holiday options but also a few staples if you just need a local grocer. Parking is on street but I found a spot right in front. Great experience.

This time I couldn't find my mild curry block that I like so we had to go with medium hot (hopefully I survive). They did have vegan oyster sauce and some other vittles I needed.

Just like any store there is a long aisle with snacks on both sides, packages calling out for attention with bright lettering and Anime drawings. Of course there is frozen meat and fresh greens and a large selection of common items like soy sauce. I was looking for a large bottle of Rice Vinegar but had to settle for a less-in-value smaller size. The store is on a frontage road and not real visible from Fairview so think of the building next to Starbucks which is very visible.

Awesome selection, insane prices…read more Maybe I'm just out of touch but I can't understand how these little fruit cake desserts were $14/ea. In their defense, I could have asked how much they were before selecting them but dang. The chocolate bar at $7 seems reasonable in comparison.

The Dubai white chocolate was absolutely delicious and definitely worth trying. We also tried the…read moremango mousse, which was very tasty as well. However, the staff member at the sweets counter was a bit rude when I asked about the desserts, especially since there were no descriptions provided. The kanafeh also looked old and overly oily, as if it had been sitting out for a long time. Also, It was also a bit odd that, despite being a grocery store concept, they asked for a tip at checkout.

I was a little confused at first because the place still has signage or references from its previous name, but it all worked out just fine. As soon as you walk in, you're immediately hit with the amazing smell of garlic (I think the owner was roasting it that day--heavenly). My friend and I took our time browsing all the different olive oils and goodies. The shop has a really nice balance--part store, part cozy café. We ended up chatting with the owner for a bit, and she was welcoming. Overall, it was a really pleasant experience. We ordered the tomato mozzarella panini and a coffee each. I'll be honest--a tomato mozz sandwich wouldn't normally be my go-to, but it was surprisingly flavorful, light, and still filling (half was enough for me). Everything we had was delicious. There's seating inside.... tables and even a comfy couch--giving it that laid-back, neighborhood vibe. Also appreciated that there's a parking lot, which made things easy. If I'm in the area again and need olive oil (or just a chill spot for a coffee and bite), I'd absolutely stop in again!

The moment we walked in, the scent of garlic filled the air. The owner let us in on the secret: she was prepping garlic for their sandwiches. Naturally, we had to try the caprese sandwich, and it did not disappoint--fresh, flavorful, and that garlic? Incredible. The whole place gave off relaxed European vibes, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. I'll definitely be back.

There are a bunch of people usually here looking and engaging with things they enjoy so chatter happens and is a fun spot that I've noticed. We got some hello kitty mystery items and actually got some amazing pulls. I will say the woman at the cash register appeared to hate her job, she did not smile or engage in chatter. She seemed very unhappy about being there. Otherwise this store is amazing. There's also a funny display of photos in the store of people who are stealing -- which is sad for the store / people and a bit on point.

It's saddens me to venture into Uptown although it still echoes with past glory, but those sounds are being muffled by urban blight. Bill's doors are now metal, but venture inside and you're transported to Greece. Their products are fantastic, and we loaded up on olive oil, olives, and fresh feta cheese. The staff was fun and resonated with the joy of Greece. Bill's has survived for decades on Lake Street. I hope they continue to thrive despite the trouble around them. I do wish the city could step in and help jump start a renaissance of Uptown.
