There are corner stores, and there are really good corner stores. JK is one of the latter. Yes, you’ll find milk and eggs, but you'll also find tofu, fresh veggies, nearly every cooking spice known to man, a deli counter, baked goods, and stuff that you need when you realize you didn't quite read that recipe thoroughly enough. (Or you've baked the birthday cake, but forgot the candles. You're covered, my friend.) Of course, there's also the standard bathroom supplies, snacks, pet food, etc. But the other surprising thing about this place is that the prices don't reflect the convenience. Most corner store prices make it more economical to get in your car and spend $5 in gas to drive to the grocery store, where items cost half as much—but not here. Our one complaint is that we wish they stayed open a little later at night, but what can you do. At least they're open at 7:30 am, with fresh La Columbe coffee ready for your consumption. And hey, if you spill a bit on your work clothes while you're dashing out to the car, don't worry—the owners also run the dry cleaners' across the street. Now that is service.
