a sunday poppy: earl’s grocery

yesterday i met a girlfriend at earl’s grocery – nestled in the heart of elizabeth- charlotte

{our old hood}

and i fell in love.

charlotte friends- think dean & deluca meets common market 

or dean & deluca with a little more soul. 

the atmosphere, food, drinks, and company were incredible. 

i will be back- and often. 

… 

here are some of my favorite parts about the eclectic, fun, and elegant spot 

with quality yet unique food and drinks:

lots of packaged and fresh desserts- reasonably priced and delicous. 

i tried the mini german chocolate cake for .49 and loved- it melted in my mouth. 

my friend tried the peanut butter rice krispie treat, which was also amazing. 

love the orange and blue fun organizers throughout:

there are about 50 chairs and tables – along with a bar area

{such a cute scene to be part of}

we sat by the window; feeling the warmth of the january sun on us 

{it’s been so beautiful here}

there are garage doors all along the wall- looking forward to some slightly warmer days with them open and the fresh air coming in… <3

enjoy some fresh pasta to-go and lots of great sauces 

i always enjoy going to common market and exploring the craft beers

mr. monaco and i will go together and enjoy a few

earl’s offers the same type of atmosphere- excited to go exploring soon.

i tried the bahn mi sandwich and it was INCREDIBLE. 

so delicious- i def. recommend this sandwich!

lots of great wine to choose from:

i also enjoyed my one coffee of the week by ordering 

a pumpkin spice latte with coconut milk- to die for.

adore this chip filled tub:
