Joyce TsaiDecember 27, 2013Parking on the top floor directly in front of the store. Don't forget to bring your own bags. Ask for wine boxes if u do!Upvote5Downvote
Angelica UrquijoJune 5, 2010Stop by and sample the food they are serving before you start shopping... especially if you just got out of work and picking up items for dinner. Lori is the best always very friendly and knows when yUpvote3Downvote
