T I J Market

Good for: fresh produce and some Asian food specialties. Some of their fresh fruit is really delicious. Prices are high-​ish to gougey, but you won’t find anything like this for another mile or two, so if they have what you want, just get it, or make do with lesser food stores.

This place is great. I’d been shopping at the Associated since moving to the area, but I was never happy with their produce selection. One day my girlfriend and I decided to give this place a shot based on her friend’s recommendation. This place has a good selection of fresh produce despite its small size. I believe the prices are higher than the Associated, but that because they carry mostly organic stuff (and it’s actually fresh).
If you’re a vegetarian or vegan this place is great, but if you love meat they have a very limited selection (no chicken, hamburger, steaks) so be forewarned. You should also know that they have no frozen section, which I suppose keeps me eating healthier so I can’t complain. Despite a couple minor things T I J is really good, and the staff are friendly.
