Great smoothies, soup, and sandwiches. Especially the Santanoni. Everyone that works there is nice, you can order at the counter and sit in the back, we've had many a cheap brunches there.

• Pros: Great food
• Cons: Groceries are a bit expensive

Williamsburg residents one-up the Whole Foods crowd by keeping it extremely local at this organic grocery store and cafe.

Store co-owner Aaron Woolf, who directed the food chain documentary "King Corn," furthers his vision of sustainable agriculture by only stocking organic meat and produce from farms within a 100-mile radius. Grass-fed beef, organic vegetables, pastas, milk products and more are sold at this rustic store, where indie and classic rock play over weathered wooden shelves and wide-plank floorboards. In the elevated cafe area in back, diners chow down on breakfast plates made with cage-free organic eggs, as well as sandwiches, smoothies and daily special entrees.
