International Market



It's hard to find what I like most about living in the city.  While showing our friend Charlotte around the city I caught myself saying "that's one of my favorite things about the city" a lot.  So after thinking about it, I realized that I just like it all.  So this post is on 'one of my favorite things about the city' - the Markets.  You can find anything you want here.

The International Grocery is a place that we have enjoyed shopping in and know we will for the extent of our time here.  While the store front leaves a lot to be desired, the inside is very inviting.  The smells from all the fresh spices, grains, and coffees blending together provides a wonderful aromatic and aesthetic experience.  They cater to all spice needs, exotic coffees, grains, cheeses, olives, and more.  The store has a Mediteranean bazaar vibe to it which I appreciate, and that is most likely due to the Karamouzis brothers (one pictured below) running it for over 30 years.










bon appétit
