Food is good but pretty loud inside to have a conversation however we went on a Sunday morning and it was very busy. I like the gluten free options for the pancakes.

Great place. Staff is fabulous. My daughter loves the pepperoni pizza and I did like the gluten free crust margarita pizza although it definitely could have used more cheese. We have a service dog and they are always super accommodating. Very lively place. Has a very good energy and there are always several larger groups there even on weekdays.

I was pleasantly surprised. I had never been inside Phoenicia Specialty Foods before today. I had no idea what it is. I walked in, and was very surprised to see that one half of the store looked like Costco and the other half looked like Central Market or Whole Foods Market. After sanitizing my hands and going through the metal entrance arch, I was greeted by fresh produce priced just slightly higher than HEB. I then saw whole animal sides hanging behind the glass window of the refridgerated butchery and smiled because I could watch the meat being freshly cut and packed. I then noticed the conveyor belt coming down from the sky with freshly baked somethings from what must be their in-house bakery and later realized that it was freshly baked pita pocket bread. I then took a closer look at the packed meat and realized that it was all marked Halal, which explained the large count of seemingly Muslim people that were in the store. By the time I was done browsing every single isle, I felt like they should have asked me for my passport at the entrance because I had been transported to an Arab wonderland with a European influence. Halal, expertly-cut-in-store meats. Fresh baked-in-store breads. I can only assume the salads and hummus may have also been made from scratch inside the grocery store. They had ratatouille next to spiced cauliflower and Croissants next to baklava. Artisan cheeses and salami, nuts, dried fruits, sweets and foreign delicacies, ghee, and gluten-free sweets and pancake mixes all spead beautifully on the shelves. The Costco-looking side of the store had everything from 5 gallon tubs of yogurt and huge rounds of cheese to pastas, sauces, spices, hooka pipes, artisan bar soaps and very nice kitchen tools. There was even a jewelry case with beautiful items. I'm someone who has previously worked at a regular grocery store, where I was disappointed to learn that many things in the deli and meat department come premade. This place is a breath of fresh air. I selected a small basket of great finds and left a very happy lady. I'd say the prices are very reasonable and fair for great quality. The staff could have looked a little happier, but overall the service was good. The bathrooms were also clean.

Love JuiceLand. Vegan and gluten free friendly. For a celiac like me they will even clean the blender. Today I was made braver thanks to M. They are very patient and informative helping to make sure I could confidently enjoy a smoothie like the next person. Excited to try all the snacks we got. So glad they sell gift cards to bc this is a gift worth sharing!

They sell a pair of gluten-free brownie cookies. That’s what brought me over there. It was pretty good but at its price point I was expecting something amazing. The outdoor area is a cool little place to sit while your kids move around.
