It's very easy to miss and they should do a better job of publicizing it.

We were <b>really</b> disappointed. Attempted to order at "The Counter" but waited for several minutes for someone to take our order before giving up. They weren't even that busy (Wednesday night). So we tried the sandwich counter.

Unfortunately, 30 other people had the same idea. It was packed on a Friday afternoon. However, the lines weren't that bad. I was definitely overwhelmed given the crowd. The store is nice.

It was quite packed and crowded, so I was in a hurry to leave. But I did buy a few things. They have a nice selection of spices, flour, nuts, grains, and all sorts of other items you can buy in bulk there.

I think I know that flavor of overwhelmed that you felt because that's exactly what I experienced. This new Columbia location doesn't have nearly the features that WF Austin does but it's impressive in its own way.

I figured I would just walk around and check it out, no purchases, but just a few steps in the door I was seduced by fresh corn and sweet cherries. I walked by an olive bar that was so pretty I wanted to stop and take a picture, and I don't even like olives!

Sample two free items outside, headed inside, overwhelmed by the people the long lines and headed right back out. It will have to wait for another less crowded day for me to enter that store.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992626996077874832noreply@blogger.com
