City Market was my first stop in San Miguel de Allende--straight from the airport. I had discovered…read moreit simply because it was on the way to the place we were staying. The plan was to run in quickly, grab some bubbles and a few snacks, then head back to unpack and relax for the evening. Our driver dropped us off and we walked into a spacious, upscale market that immediately impressed me. City Market is an extremely nice supermarket with a wide selection that ranges from high-end groceries and fresh pastries to upscale kitchenware, including Le Creuset cookware and other premium cooking items. The fresh pastry selection looked wonderful, and the produce was especially impressive. The avocados were enormous, and the tomatoes looked incredibly fresh. There was also an excellent selection of meats and cheeses--perfect if you're putting together a charcuterie board. I was even able to find my lemon ginger tea, which is part of my morning routine. While most people did not speak English, communication was easy with the help of Google Translate. The next day I returned with more time to stroll through the aisles, and I was even more impressed. The store has an outstanding selection of food, meats, and produce. I was pleasantly surprised to see a small section of Asian ingredients, which meant I could easily make my Chinese breakfast soups in the morning. On that second visit I had filled my cart with quite a bit of food. As I headed toward a regular checkout lane, a gentleman approached, guided my cart over to the self-checkout area, and began scanning and bagging my groceries for me. It was an unexpected level of service, and I was happy to tip him well for the help. Beyond shopping, City Market also has several places to eat inside. Bar Do Mar serves sushi prepared fresh right in front of you. Pintxos offers an impressive menu of roughly 60 homemade dishes. The café area also features a wide selection of coffee beans, along with freshly prepared coffee drinks and teas. Overall, City Market is the place to go if you are looking for a wide selection of foods, pastries and adult beverages while visiting San Miguel de Allende. Whether you need groceries, cookware, or a reliable place for a meal, it's an excellent option to have nearby.

They are carrying a fair amount of items from Costco but who in their right mind wants to pass up a Costco shopping adventure. The cashiers rarely have change so if you hand them anything larger than a 50 peso note, they'll hold it up to the sky and peer at it like they've never seen one before. They'll study it good until they've determined that you didn't just print it yourself on your HP printer. Then they call the manager over for change. This all takes about 10 minutes and you only had 4 items in your cart. But in Mexico time just doesn't matter.

So I decided to try Dolphy. To my surprise, the price was about the same and it tasted much better than the food carts. So I went back a few times. Yeah, as some of the other reviews pointed out, the service wasn't super friendly, but whatever. The ice cream is good and the price is right.

I still wasn't diagnosed or treated when I got here so I wasn't able to handle much food - soooooo my diet in San Miguel was, for the most of it, lime popsicles from Helados Dolphy (you'd be surprised how your stomach can handle lime popsicles when sick). They were tasty, refreshing, and I felt ok eating them. Now I have serious memories and attachment to lime popsicles even years later - strange nostalgia, huh? But I'd definitely recommend grabbing some here.
