Lots of room for browsing and the tidy interior set this six-year-old organic food shop apart from its cluttered Kensington counterparts. Market-goers find fresh, often local produce, frozen hormone-free meat, and premium juices. There’s also bulk food—everything from basic dried beans to sweet black mission figs—kept fresh in nifty oversized jars. Pedestrian Sundays have a particularly festive feel: owner Potsothy Sallapa invites friends from the farm and foodie community to sell their goods at in-store booths.
