I used to go there for bottled teas [used to be about the only place to find Itoen], import cheeses, olives and dolmas, almond butter, Lambics, and I'd occasionally raid their hot food bar.

Trader Joes and the higher end Dierbergs have filled in most of the gaps since. We don't have Sprouts in StL, but I shop there with the parents for durable goods when I visit back to KC.


Our only real options here without driving to Birmingham (about 90 minutes for me) is Public, Winn Dixie, and Walmart. Whole Foods still carries quite a bit I can't get elsewhere without shopping online. For instance... I'm making dal tonight. I've looked in every store within 50 miles and couldn't find red lentils. Yet there they were in WF for $1.29/lb.
