Awww... Super boss Craig and lucky Libby and colleagues getting coffee and morning tea made for them! The beaming boss! It's delicious, of course! Almond butter, or freshly ground peanut butter or honey and organic coffee. Craig gave up the cafe side of the business around ohh, 20 something years ago so he won't be making it for you ...but you can buy the yummy spreads and bread and coffee in store if you like the sound of this fab comfort food.

For a great grocery shopping experience in a feel-good environment with a friendly team to serve you you're sure to find something special for your dining table ….and friendly faces on both sides of the counter. 😍
