Great market if you want to get everyday stuff. Small store but packed with everything you need from laundry to food to small toys. The cashier was great and friendly. Not too busy either.
Love this business. Always well stocked. Its a small market but it carries a real diverse set of goods. I can get good meat and chicken frozen, anchovies, fresh veggies, wine, etc. Most ingredients I need ibcan find at A1. I can easily cook an excellent meal from what I can buy there. Best small market on the island in my opinion.
