The Scene
Nestled in the basement of an Inman Park Victorian, this old-fashioned corner store bustles with locals ducking in for milk, Moon Pies and addictive pressed sandwiches. Customers navigate crowded aisles of assorted canned goods and candy bins to get to the deli counter. Most folks get their food to go, but the grocery does offer a single Formica table. A small patio provides additional seating.

The Food
Chef/owner Todd Collins deftly prepares an eclectic assortment of creative sandwiches and hearty lunchtime fare. Pressed sandwiches, like the tangy marinated vegetable and mozzarella cheese wonder known as Fanny's Favorite, star. The aptly named Funky Monkey is another winner. It boasts a liberal smearing of peanut butter and Nutella, along full banana halves. (Bacon fans should try the Funky Monkey Jane.) Other offerings include frittatas, seasonal soups and chili, along with a revolving selection of deli standards. Muffins, saucer-sized cookies and scones served with frothy espresso drinks make a fine dessert.
