Corner Shop

Next door to equity-focused Vietnamese takeout shop Bé Ù, this Virgil Village neighborhood market offers a carefully considered selection of craft beer and cider, natural wines and even grower champagne—essentially the funkier, single-origin version of the French bubbly everyone knows. Alongside liquor store mainstays like Tylenol, soft drinks, chips and protein bars, Corner Shop also offers a diverse array of produce, pantry and grocery items that straddle the line between affordable and organic, artisan and locally grown. Items they carry that might mean something to you: Bub and Grandma’s Bread, Urban Homestead CSA boxes and Rick’s Produce eggs. The shop’s diverse bottle selection, delicious prepared foods and unique snacks make it one of the best last-minute shopping destinations for a spontaneous picnic in nearby Echo Park.
