The whole strip mall is interesting with specialty grocery stores serving our newest Americans. Can't afford to travel right now? Spend an afternoon around here. This store also has some unusual import supply connections. I overheard another customer asking for a specific Slavic regional brand product, not in the store, but the worker (owner?) got on the phone and started making calls in what sounded like more than two languages. I wanted to stick around to see how it played out but it became obvious I was eavesdropping. I must be losing my ethnographic research chops.

An creative reuse of an old bank building in town, Lulu Cadieux has a variety of different…read moreofferings under one roof. There's sections dedicated to cookbooks, kitchenware, home decor, a set up of some clothing and accessories, art pieces, gifts like candles and body care, all of which was beautifully curated. They also have a section for gourmet snacks like imported meats and cheeses, tinned fish, and a variety of snacks like cookies, candies, chips, etc. All perfect for putting together a picnic or nibbling on at cottage rental. Admittedly a lot of things I liked best here were out of my price range (what can I say, I have expensive taste!). I was particularly wowed by a gorgeous wood cake stand with cloche that definitely made my eyes water when I looked at the price tag. But I'll tell you what, if I had the money, it would have gone home with me. The section I saw it in was adjacent to a stunning chef's kitchen (I covet that stove) where they also hold cooking classes. I hope I can make one work sometime in the future. I'd love to take a pasta making class or paella, both of which are in their line up of offerings. Those seem to be priced at around $125 per person which I think is reasonable for a hands on class and a meal at the end. Oh, one of the clothing sections was located in the old bank vault, which was a cute touch and interesting use of the space!

Nice selection of vintage and contemporary styles. Want to do the cooking classes again n a future…read morevisit.

I've driven by this store many times and FINALLY stopped in. What was I waiting for?!…read more THIS STORE IS AMAZING! First, and foremost, the staff was so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. I don't think I've had anyone help me in-store EVER as this lady did. She was a great problem-solver (I love dried mango flavor in things, but am a TOTAL zero flames so even if chili is the last ingredient, it's too spicy for me. OPE.). My curry-making problem is now solved. THANK YOU! Second, this small store is like a TARDIS or Mary Poppins' bag. Each aisle is packed to the brim with treasures. We were in somewhat of a hurry, but honestly I could spend quite a while there (and know that if I have questions, I will learn solutions). There is a LONG wall of freezer things that looked enticing - our daughter got a box of 22 (!!) frozen samosas, which she loves. There is fresh produce in back, more refrigerated things, shelves and shelves of deliciousness, and my very favorite, a WHOLE section of spices and spice mix. There were many things unfamiliar to me, which I can't wait to try. The beans and rice selection is quite thorough. The prices are excellent. HOW did I not go here before? Hope you enjoy it, too. You can find them on fb; there is no other website. APNA is housed in a large blue building, shared with another store. Note: The only way to turn in is from N Avenue. Ask me how I know. There is no entrance on 9th street!
