Most delicious seafood summer rolls ever!
Small, friendly, family-owned, and delicious.

I love a good wrap. They make good wraps.
They're close to home.
They're relatively cheap.
They're quick & friendly.
I'll be back.

It's what you want for lunch. Trust me.

Okay - I'll elaborate.

If you're looking for a fast sandwich, go to Subway (or PCC's premade section). However, I do both of those things from time to time, and I'm telling you, you will not get a sandwich as tasty as one from Homegrown. I ordered a small turkey/bacon/avocado - which was a perfect size for lunch (hooray for portion control in America!).

Yes, I paid $6 for a small sandwich - but I firmly believe I got what I paid for (which I don't think is an unreasonable price for a good sandwich nowadays, anyway).

Yes, I waited about 10 minutes for my order, but it WAS prime lunchtime, and there were others ahead of me, and it was clear that all of the employees were WORKING. Furthermore (& I don't know - maybe they do this for everyone) - they gave me a free large pickle and side of white bean salad to take with me - which more than made up for the (reasonable anyway) wait.

So I repeat: it's what you want for lunch.
If you're into the whole Sustainable/Local/Organic thing, you'll be happy.
If you want a really good sandwich that tastes like it's straight from the garden, you'll be happy.
If you simply like good food, you'll be happy.

Trust me.

After reading good reviews, we had our first pizza delivered from this place - it arrived hot & on time (off to a great start!). It was good - the thin crust was flaky & not-too-greasy. I can't put my finger on it, but it was somehow unlike other pizza crusts... slightly denser? more like actual-pie dough...? But quite good, nonetheless.

I'm only withholding the 5th star because there was a thin burn ring on the bottom of the pie - we'll let it slide this time, and will order from them again, I'm sure.

We stopped in here today after hearing good things from reliable friends - and we were not disappointed! We sat at the bar & had excellent service & outstanding food! E had their pulled pork sandwich; I had the grilled chicken club sandwich - both were definitely worth a return-trip.

They had a decent beer selection, with a good mix of domestic & imports. The cocktails looked to be creative and yummy, as well.

All in all, a welcome replacement to the Italian joint that occupied the space before (based solely on our personal tastes; we never actually tried the last place). We'll definitely be back for more!

Excellent food. Excellent service. What else do you need to know?

For the record, I remain confused as to why they top off their lemonade with whipped cream; but on the other hand, who am I to question an extraneous use of dessert topping?

Oh, Brunch. You have indeed never looked nor tasted so unreasonably glorious!

These folks know what Happiness is, and they serve it to you on a plate. And at such reasonable prices!

If ever you find yourself feeling down in the dumps, head straight to Belly, have a Bloody Mary & a plate of crispy-fried potatoes, and feel your worries melt away - I promise, it's better than Prozac!

I have to say that I was a little hesitant to leave our one and only in the hands of a service shop to whom we had never been before. Add to that the weirdly inconsistent reviews, and I was plain nervous.

But they were close, they were Subaru, and they had a coupon. Frugality wins again... And I'm really very happy that it did.

We knew our brakes were going, and it was time for a new, complete set - the coupon promised a whopping 13% discount, but better than nothing -- and their prices (sans coupon) were already better than other shops I called.

Anyway, the following sequence of events then took place:
1. The lovely service staff said that I could drop my car off the same day I called (I dropped it off around 5:30pm)
2. Tammy (I love Tammy -- she's so friendly & helpful!) immediately told me that there's a recall on a small part in my gas tank, & they'd take care of it.
3. Tammy called me BEFORE 8:00AM THE NEXT DAY to let me know the damage
4. Our car was REPAIRED AND READY for us by 12:30pm!

They even offer free loaner cars if you need them during your service, AND they have a free shuttle service to pick you up anywhere in the city.

As I look back over the poorer reviews here, I think a lot of the 1-stars are for the sales department, with whom I obviously had no interaction. I can say, however, that the SERVICE department is on the ball & has just gained themselves a new loyal customer!

A charming & cozy place for a beer, glass of wine, and some tasty nibbles after a day's work.

The staff was great - friendly & on top of things.

We'll be back!

I own... 3? Yes, 3 Laura Bee bags -- each one is gorgeous & impeccably made right there in their store! You can honestly feel the love they put into every piece, and that's why I have also given countless LB items as gifts over the years. (I'm a well-known great gift-giver!) :P

There truly is no better shop in town to find the perfect gift for that special lady (or dude, in some cases!) in your life. Where else can you design the most perfect item you can imagine, and then KNOW that it will be made by hand by some extremely talented, creative, (& thoroughly charming!) local people?!

The perfectly-priced bags & wallets are really a steal because they'll last you for years and years, and will make you or your loved one feel great to wear/use such a top-quality, stylish, functional, and FUN item!
