Fresh flowers...
A Gelateria...
An organic grocery section selling all sorts of wonderful things. It even sells kombucha!....
And something to really really make my heart skip a beat...a fromagerie. It has a proper climate controlled cheese room with a very informative staff member who was a fountain of cheesy knowledge. And they weren't skimping on the tastings either...
As tempting as all of the above, I was really at The Grocers to grab lunch. I was very excited to see New York style deli options on the menu.
I ordered the chopped liver, egg, onion and lettuce on rye ($9). It was absolutely awesome. I am not usually a big offal fan but having been converted to chopped liver and egg by a Jewish family whom I use to baby sit, this rye sandwich was a walk down memory lane. The liver was nice and plentiful and without any off putting membranous bits. The flavours were like pate but chunkier.
The rye bread leant a beautiful dense envelop to ferry the liver and egg mixture into my maw. The cooked down onions were a nice touch. I was particularly thrilled by the chips on the side! It felt like a picnic.
My friend ordered a vegetarian panini which reported back as filling and delicious.
Verdict: We loved it
Overall
The Spring St Grocer is like a one stop shop for all things wonderful. I wish I could bring in my sleeping bag and camp in their fromagerie and do nothing but feast on cheese, gelati, chopped liver, kombucha all day.
