The above photo was taken at the bakery section of "El Mercadito" Mexican grocery store, butcher shop, bakery, and grill at the corner of West Market Street at 103 Muir's Chapel Road in Greensboro. Nothing says summer like a big slice of watermelon and those watermelon cookies are adorable. Recently, when we were shopping these, the watermelon cookies were available. While "El Mercadito caters to Greensboro's latino and hispanic communities, they welcome with open arms and big smiles people of all ethnicities. It is a good place to get fresh meat, cut like you like it, pastries, foods and spices not always available in traditional grocery stores.
Summer is such a great time to explore new businesses and places in your own backyard. It is open from 7 am to 9pm. To start, consider getting something from the grill and just sit and look at how happy and gentle a shopping experience can be. Everyone seems to be in a good mood, and polite. Nobody seems to be in a rush (even if they are). It is a fun space to explore the diversity of Greensboro. Get yourself a pack of banana chips (one sweet, one salty) a "jarritos" mango soda, a watermelon cookie and celebrate the impending arrival of summer!
Those look tasty!
