Just checked it out.
Very nice place. It's basically a nice AG store on the aisles, but a lot of specialty items along the periphery. The produce looked good. Didn't spend much time scrutinizing everything they offer, but looks like a place where you could do regular shopping and find those specialty items you can't get at basic grocery stores. The coffee shop is a nice addition, along with outdoor seating similar to Whole Foods.
The beer selection is pretty decent. It's no Calandro's, but it's definitely way better than Albertson's or Winn-Dixie. Wine selection appeared to be better.
Picked up some specialty sushi rolls while I was there for dinner. It was very good for decent price.

Agree with above, talked to the guy upfront who seemed to be the owner, he said its "just selling groceries" on the right side which they are familiar with , and the "cafe" (as they are calling it) is new to them. Had people going around talking to everyone so I think that part of it will improve as they learn more or what people want.
Overall think its a good edition, hope the cafe improves, and not sure why all the hate for the beer selection, I thought they had a lot to offer in terms of 6 packs, just lacking the specialty big bottles.

Just got back and agree with everything you said. The guy in the beer section said they were getting more craft beers in soon and to let him know if there was anything special I wanted. I think it's a good sign they are already trying to get more.

Agreed. Picked up regular groceries their last night, plus Tin Roof.
And for us, it's actually less expensive than where we normally shop, Harvest Supermarket.
