City Feed & Supply

When you first see City Feed you think, "Oh, this is a little restaurant." (Or you think it is a grain store, if you grew up in the middle of the woods.) Then you realize, "Oh wait this is more like a convenience store, that is dissapointing." EXCEPT, then you realize that all the stuff they stock is locally-grown or organic or vegan or hard-to-find, and then you see the mindblowing deli, and then you are like "oh man I totally need to buy an avocado," and by the time you wander around to paying you are sort of dizzy and shaky and it is hard to hold the oversized pen to sign your debit card receipt. Try the "Farmer's Lunch" sandwich. Get a giant tub of the locally-made (preservative-free!) hummus. Get a coffee travel mug. Look at all the rad foreign money tacked on the wall. I can't even list all the things this place does right. DID YOU TRY THE FARMER'S LUNCH YET.

This tiny little shop on Boylston Street is a great little resource center/health food store/sandwich shop/ coffee place. It is a tiny little place on Boylston Street, near the Stony Brook T stop. They have a basic selection of health food staples, as well as a nice dairy case, and other basics like tofu, tempeh, etc.

My favorite part of the shop is their sandwiches. The make a great selection of freshly made vegan sandwiches (I recommend the roast tofurkyit is great), as well as sandwiches with meat. They also carry a lot of locally grown produce and occasionally the delicious Jamaica Plain Honey, made by bees that live in JP.

The community message board is a great way to find a job, garage sale, apartment, or just find out what is going on in Jamaica Plain. There are couches to sit on while you drink your amazing fair trade coffee, and the staff is great.

PROS: great sandwiches, great coffee
CONS: I wish the selection of food was bigger
