Capital Grocery

Nice little bodega-style shop on the corner built out of the bottom level of a 2 story mansion. Very convenient, but the prices also reflect that this is a convenience (which is understandable! but worth mentioning). They've got regular gas station staples, and also sell stuff like potatoes, onions, etc.

A solid stop if you need snacks or beverages. The food selection is above par compared to other corner stores and the like in the vicinity. The staff at the register is friendly for what I would imagine is a thankless job. The patrons run the full array and all seem to be welcome. Today was about as hot as it gets and the ac was pumping strong enough to make it very comfortable inside. A little thing for some, but I find it really impressive when most other stores would cut that corner this store instead is all but a cooling station for the area. I was able to get some cool snacks and beverages for a fair price. Shout out for the Buffalo spiced bugles that were the hit snack for tonight's ufc event at a little gathering nearby. If I was in the same spot I would not hesitate to select this store as the go to in the area.

In the world of old-school downtown convenience stores, Capital Grocery sets itself apart by providing more than the bare essentials and service with a smile. I was pleasantly surprised to find a lot more on the shelves here than at most corner stores on the grid. The clerk was friendly and greeted me, even though he didn't need to be since there were several loitering weirdos causing a raucous out front with their loud, obnoxious conversation. I came in for a drink on an unseasonably warm winter afternoon but found several snacks I like and was impressed by their ice cream and frozen goods selection. Like any one of these stores, you'll get plenty of colorful characters who may make your experience less than stellar. As far as baseline service and selection go, Capital Grocery is knocking it out of the park.

Super nice clerk, even when people are total dicks. Nice selection of beer and all the snacks and sundries you could ever need. Larger selection of frozen meals like fried chicken and pizza, also cheese and salami. Decent wine selection. Above all, can't find a nicer guy behind the counter.

All this place does is price gouge the homeless. Smells like urine inside and they don't put price tags on anything

What time y'all open ?Great shop for the neighborhood btw got everything u need ! They're like family ! Shop there
