The Kirkwood Corner Market

August 14, 2009

So, I visited the new Kirkwood Corner Market like two weeks ago and am just writing about it. I apologize - because I really did like it! What a fun, fresh, new shop located on Hosea Williams Drive next to Coan Middle School. It is a true market - with groceries, fabulous retro candies, chips, snacks, fun gifts for kids and adults, flowers, and of course - a lunch counter.

They advertise themselves as “a nostalgic general store atmosphere that serves up baked breakfast goods, deli style sandwiches, home made sides, snacks and gifts” which sounds a bit better than my first paragraph - but they are indeed all that! I love the patio surrounded by plants and flowers and I love that they sell things like microwavable Chef Boyardee and you can microwave it right there yourself in the shop.

The sandwiches on the board were all very inexpensive. I got a club sandwich, chips (snotty ones at that), and a wonderful fountain coke for less and 7 bucks. It was a great club - nothing fancy about it - but I did not want fancy. I wanted a good club sandwich. I got it. I need to go back for breakfast - or to buy some Chef Boyardee. Go visit if you live in this area - very walkable, the patio is dog friendly, and we need to support our local businesses!
