Marlow and Sons

The shelves of this grocery/takeout/salon/café are primly packed with small quantities of many gourmet products, almost to a fault; baked goodies and even pizza nestle behind the counter. Virgil's cream soda (12 fl. oz.; about $2), which disdains corn syrup for cane sugar, is very, very good, and a good reason to swing by Marlow's again.
