Consistent good Lebanese bakery offering fresh bread & baklava.   That's really all they have to offer, unless of course you plan on cooking some middle-eastern fare, in which case they've got most of the ingredients you'll likely need.

Prices are fair.  But what really interesting is their selection of hookah tobaccos (which is hidden at the one end of the store).  They have an entire aisle devoted to the ritual, and have everything you'll need to get started, including hookahs, tongs,  charcoals & tobaccos.  The guy there is really friendly & will answer any of your questions if you wanna get into preparing and enjoying hookahs (a nice after dinner thing for when company comes over or at the end of a long day.)

If you're there, head driectly across the street to Andy's Fruit Ranch, as it has excellent selection of, well, everything it seems.
