"Owner Vivian Um is an amazing community advocate, and stocks The Corner Store-Arts District with necessities that residents and visitors often need. Drop by and check out the changing selection!"

"Try their NEW focaccia "pizza" options: one with egg, bacon, cherry tomatoes and feta; and another with feta cheese, Za'atar, and olive oil!"

"Order the grain stick ($2.75) and request a side of Emmenthaler Swiss cheese ($2). Have it toasted for a great "off-menu" sandwich ... great for breakfast, or for lunch, with their yummy soup!"

"Order burger (beef or veggie), kale caesar salad, and cheddar cheese grits! Skip fall squash salad :("

"Tartufo black truffle pizza and Cavatelli alla Norcina pasta (ricotta dumplings, more black truffles!) are THE best! Start with chicken liver crostino. For dessert? Try the chocolate tart!"

"You can buy a full loaf of Urth Caffe's fabulous fruit and nut bread - pricey (over $16), but worth it! Great at home toasted with cream cheese and jalapeño jelly!"
