Yes, it's a bike shop AND they have a small number of taps with great regional beers at great prices. Not open late, but a fun place to hang out. Wednesday-Saturday they are open until 8, I think. Wednesday evenings they also have a food truck in the parking lot- a different one every few weeks.

Shopping

A great selection of spices, herbs, salts, sugars, teas and accessories. We love it (and we own it :), but despite that bias everyone tells us it is a great place for gifts for family and friends and it's a great experience as you can open the jars and smell everything and even taste the sugars and salts (with the help of one of our fabulous staff people). Enjoy!
