It’s tough to delve much into exact prices, since they fluctuate by season. But this is definitely a good place to stock up, especially if you live in the burbs and don’t want to deal with the hustle and bustle of Haymarket. In fact, it’s so handsome and mellow, it’s almost relaxing to shop there. Open to the public daily from 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. Sundays from 8 to 2.
