Gorgeous Salads
Beautiful, aren’t they? Our deli’s new green salads are made fresh, in house using the same high quality ingredients you’ll find in the rest of the store. Choose from Chicken Bacon Ranch, Health Nut, Classic Greek or Smoked Turkey. Find them in our produce aisle.
Our Bakery's Pies--Now Available in Half Sizes!
Our pies are handmade from scratch by our baker, Adam Wolff, formerly of The Birchwood Cafe. Adam uses the highest quality ingredients in his baked goods including Schultz organic eggs (Owatonna, MN) and Ivy Farms heavy cream (Hastings, MN). Our selection rotates among blueberry, peach, apple, pecan, pumpkin, Key lime and chocolate velvet.
The new “half pies” have been a big hit. As one customer commented, “This is the perfect size for my family.

Our Newest Cheese: Sartori's BellaVitano
Our newest cheese, Sartori’s BellaVitano, is a local cheese, but it traces its heritage all the way back to Asiago, Italy. We’ve carried Sartori’s award-winning SarVecchio parmesan and asiago cheeses for quite some time now. During a recent demo, Sartori’s Jack Anderson sampled these two familiar (but extraordinary!) cheeses.
Too Busy to Cook? We're Here to Help!
Have you stopped by the deli counter lately? The new winter dishes are delicious—like the raw kale and golden beet salad that must be tasted to be believed. We’ve got meat and meatless main dishes, salads, sides and sandwich fixings, soups, desserts and so much more—all ready for you to pick up, unpack, and serve to your hungry family.
When you’re just too busy to cook, we’re here to help.
Parties are no problem either—just give us 48 hours notice and we’ll put together a party platter, an assortment of salads, heat-and-serve meats or meatless main dishes to order.
Halloumi: Stephanos's Favorite Cheese
There are only a few things in our store that have their origins on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. One is Stephanos; the other is Halloumi cheese.
So if you’d like to know just why Halloumi is such a wonderful cheese, ask Stephanos (you’ll find out why he’s pretty wonderful at the same time). Stephanos says in Cyprus, Halloumi is served before dinner, often grilled, as part of a mezze platter, the Cypriot version of tapas. Slice it thin, and make a delicious grilled cheese sandwich.
Take-and-Bake Pizzas
Our deli’s making ready-to-bake pizzas for your quick weeknight meals (or easy party snacking). Featuring house-made all-natural hand-tossed crust, a great red sauce, and a blend of cheeses, our pizzas are almost as good as homemade.
