The staff is friendly and knowledgable. They have a large variety of bulk items which can make delicious and healthy snacks if you are on the go. They have a massive selection of teas and coffees. They have milk cream and soymilk for those vegans out there. There are quite a few of those here too since a very liberal college is located on the island, needless to say, the Alternative always has to stay stocked up on the good stuff!
