A pricey store, but it has a great selection of the products. The section with already cooked food is the best one! Delicious salads! Typical Russian cuisine

Exotic grocery domestic and from world wide. Really good salad and hot food bar by lbs. I would have given this place 5 stars  if some customers didn't snack with their bare youhands on weighted food from pickled and prepared hot food bar sections. The store should control what's going on within its four walls.

Very good, well stocked, traditional Eastern European self serve buffet bar. Selyodka pod shuboy was too salty.  Counter staff at deli also quite friendly and quick.

Nice big and clean supermarket. The self help food counter is good. Plenty of variety. Quality of food pretty good. A little pricey but perfect to pack stuff to eat and go to the Brighton beach and enjoy the meal and then relax.

Rating Cafe only. Thanksgiving weekend morning. 2 people behind counter. 

Characters involved. Barista 1 with super important phone conversation. Barista 2.  Myself - male of 30 years old, 6'3" in bright orange jacket. Older woman customer in white jacket. Younger woman customer. And a lioness with MK handbag and faux fur coat.

Came in at 9:00AM, no indication of where line is, I now am one of three customers standing around, it's not hard to keep track of 2 people, since you are already charging the first young lady customer,  customer in white jacket is desperately looking for eye contact, so am I. So, she is #2 and I am #3.

So, as subject 1 is having her conversation, subject 2 is making a latte for customer #1, it's me and the other customer looking for eye contact, but most importantly - some coffee. the lioness silently makes her way aroud carefully placed tables and chairs and gets on the "proper" side of counter. She becomes #1 in line and gets served by subject 2. The lioness is young, knows the routine, important looking and she got bonus points for sneaking around 2 people while holding onto her cellphone and a bag at the same time. So, the white jacket cuts her loses and bounces without a caffeine fix and with a feeling that a young lioness is more important than a mother of 3 and soon to be a grandma. (You will probably find her 1 star review in here somewhere) 

I am the only one left wondering if it was that hard to notice myself as I am not easy to miss. I swallow my pride, put away my white male privilege and hope for the best, with 2 baristas, a humming refrigerator compressor and God as witness. all, under the watchful eye of 3 cameras, of course. 

I patiently come over to the "proper" side and place my order with subject 1. "Small Americano in a large cup, please. add 1 shot of espresso and cream." As someone who has come at the age of 13 and doesn't live in a Russian community for 15 years, I manage to say those 10 words without accent, or at least I hoped so, until Subject 1 uses her Russian (or Armenian/Ukranian/Uzbek) spy skills to detect my background and transfers the conversation into Russian, asking - "vam s molokom?" Which is essentially a question of "would you like milk in it?"

"No, thank you" - I reply and swipe my card. 

There is a back and forth on how to make my coffee. Subject 2 points out that I have to pick between credit and debit... wait a second, i think "you are so aware of the situation that it makes me wonder why you missed 2 customers in the first place." But my parents taught me well not to make any scenes. I chose to stay hopeful for this story to end well.

I forgot to say that it is to go, I admit my guilt. It is obvious that I am staying, still wearing all my winter gear, I decide to keep my gloves on as I see Subject 2 pouring my coffee into a wonderful, 5oz ceramic cup with coffee distributor's logo. It's full to a point where water surface tension law that I learned in physics class snaps me back to reality and reminds me that I should speak up. 

I hold up my gloved hands and ask for it to be to go. I get my 5oz in a paper cup and I a  to enjoy a relatively warm day at the winter beach. 

Shop local, I thought 15 minutes prior. 

Shop with Starbucks I now have decided. You will get your coffee, a "good morning" with that. 

Thanks for reading. You are a champ ;-)
