As I teased in the blog post from last night...we took a day trip yesterday. We went to the Woodmere/Lyndhurst/Beachwood areas of Ohio. I really enjoy that area. This time around we branched out a bit more and discovered this place in Solon, Ohio, called Mustard Seed Market! They have two other locations in Montrose/Akron area. This place was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back! DH said that he thought it was better than Trader Joe's AND Whole Foods Market!
Here are my extended thoughts...price wise...they aren't as expensive as WF Market but they aren't as cheap as TJ's. Selection? I truly believe they have BEAT both chains when it comes to vegan options! Size? I was completely blown away! The photos I saw online don't do it justice! Atmosphere? Well, let's just say that Mustard Seed Market blows BOTH of them out of the water! It was much more...CHILL...than the other two. When I have been to other WF's and TJ's it's like a RAT RACE in there and there are constantly people pushing and lingering. NOT this place! It's spacious and comfortable.
They had a large Cafe, Juice/Smoothie Bar, etc that we didn't stop at but we want to next time! Dare I say it? This might be my NEW favorite place!?
The trade off for me going to WF or TJ or now...MS (Mustard Seed)? DH gets to go to the music stores! We went to Guitar Center, Sam Ash, and when we went home we drove thru Erie and stopped at World of Music! However, when we were at Guitar Center we picked up some picks for a co-workers husband and I found this lil guy! Yup! That's Slash from Guns N Roses! I couldn't resist! I HAD to buy it! He's the latest addition to my Funko Pops!
I have so much more to share but I'm going to space it out over time because there is SO MUCH and because it's going to be a busy week and that will make more things I can share with you!
Like I stated above...we came home thru Erie and I stopped at Whole Foods Co-Op to pick up just a few things that jumped out at me. In their Grab & Go Cooler I found these Quesadillas!
Plain and simple they are White Bean and Cashew Cheese and they were so yummy!
If time allows...I might blog some more tonight...if not I will be back tomorrow with another post for sure!
Mustard Seed Market sounds like my kind of place. The rat race element is what drives me nuts about Trader Joe's!
ReplyDeleteI love the Slash bobble head!
The quesadilla looks amazing. I remember when I lived in Erie I would buy their house made cashew cheese and it was AMAZING!!!
Their Cashew Cheese is AWESOME! They almost always sell out of it!
DeleteI love the sound of this place. And your quesadilla sound delicious. I've been cooking with white beans recently, makes a nice change from black beans, esp. in a chili pot.
ReplyDeleteI will have more posts with items from this place soon!
DeleteThe rock guitarist sure looks very cute! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's Slash from Guns N Roses! Iconic! LOL :)
