In.gredients is a neighborhood grocery store with a farmers' market feel. Just a five-minute trip from Elan East Apartments, In.gredients is trying to change the way people shop for their groceries. The store focuses on three core values: zero waste, local food, and community.

The shop sells everything a shopper would need, from high-quality meats to fresh produce, but only features products on their shelves from local vendors. Guests who bring their own containers to package foods bought in the store will have the ability to donate a portion of their purchase to a choice nonprofit or charity. Unlike your regular local grocery store, In.gredients regularly hosts community events like live musical performances on the store porch and community block parties. A full schedule of events can be found on their Facebook page. In.gredients is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. while opening at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays.

Today we remember those who have sacrificed their lives for our great country. We hope you have a great Memorial Day!

A combination coffee shop and specialty grocery, Barleybean has everything you could want in a neighborhood cafe. The thing that sets Barleybean apart is the wide variety of food and drinks you can get here. Start off your day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, a delicious signature smoothie, or even a glass of kombucha—Barleybean offers several different varieties both "on tap" and bottled.

For lunch, there are paninis, wraps, and salads available here like the Three Cheese Panini, the Yummy Hummus Panini, or the Melty Tuna Wrap. Another great perk is that Barleybean offers craft beer on tap—have a drink on the outdoor patio or take some home with you in a growler. There’s also a mini-market with natural and organic goods and snacks, perfect for a quick stop while heading home. Barleybean has a great location for you too—it’s only a short trip from Elan East.
