Try all their varieties of grape leaves! And their string cheese is yummy. Extensive selection of olive oils, herbs and unusual grains from all over the world. You will have fun investigating their unusual inventory. All your Middle Eastern, European ethnic foods under one roof for an amazingly honest price. The whole store is always clean, organized and well stocked. At Phoenicia, you can buy every conceivable cut of meat, several kinds of baklava (I didn't realize there were so many regional variations), and almost every cheese you can imagine.

Houston Dairymaids

Houston

They have free tastings daily, and every Wednesday there is also a wine tasting offered. This would also be a perfect place to get a gift basket, or buy several things to put one together. They've got everything from dried meat, to olives, to nuts, to crackers to go along with your cheese. Wonderful gem. They have 100+ cheeses and do a free cheese tasting of 6 of their cheeses weekly.  Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. VISIT SITE

D’Amico’s Italian Market Cafe

Houston

Good, fresh food at very affordable prices.  Now this is a market cafe so what that means is it has a small grocery for italian food items and a take out counter. VISIT SITE

Nundini Chef’s Table

Houston

They have a huge wine selection, pastas, gelato, olive oils, etc if you want to buy and take home. When you enter it's a bit confusing.  You start off in the marketplace, where you can get meats, pastas, and cheeses that you can take home along with gelato. In the back is the actual sit down restaurant. VISIT SITE

Dacapos

Houston

Dacapo's has the BEST cakes ever. The small space gets pretty crowded during lunch hour, so it is generally best to get your food to go or go in slightly off hours.  Service is decent and the line moves relatively quickly, but don't expect fast food speed to order or get your food.  if you want the absolute best pastries or desserts, I would highly recommend them.
