What People Are Saying About Treasure Island Foods Inc

The Scene
From bikers to blatent out-of-the-closet-types, a commingling of neighborhood folks load up on destination-worthy prepared foods, flowers and cupboard necessities. Sadly dimly lit and outdated in its approach, shoppers can largely get past decor once they gaze upon the eye-opening collection of chomps.
The Goods
If you want it, they've probably got it at prices considered affordable even to suburb dwellers. From its fragrant olive bar to its aromatic, better-than-average floral department, fresh ground peanut butter station and extremely long deli filled with moussaka, fresh sushi and chicken paprikash, you'll likely find something to lighten your load in the kitchen. A dizzying array of selections also exists when it comes to premium truffle oil, aged balsamic vinegar and wine-tasting-worthy cheeses. You'll even find diverse wine, beer and liquor selections at surprisingly affordable price points.

Treasure island may be expensive and have less selection than Jewel, but the chocolate chip mandel bread is amazing. I could eat it every day. It comes in a bag with a ribbon. Haven't found anything like it anywhere else. It's worth it to go to Treasure Island just for the mandel bread. The cheese selection is great too, but for the most part it's not worth it to get most things there. The mandel bread is to die for, though. It's at the bakery counter--usually in a basket with some other things.

This store is a great, if pricey, addition to the neighborhood. The bakery and meat departments are excellent, though promised sale items often never appear on the shelves. Seafood can be a bargain if you look for sales. Crab is often a good deal. A great selection of reasonably priced olive oils, pastas and other ethnic foods. Negatives: There's a steam table of hot foods ranging from mac and cheese to prime rib, but staff members have told me that the food is put out in the morning and just left to sit all day. It looks like it and tastes worse. Also, while there's a great selection of cheeses, the store doesn't seem to have a grater, using a blender or food processor on hard Romano and Parmesan cheeses. The result is, frankly, lousy, and far beneath the quality that a store with this much going for it should strive for.
