They have everything, from an enormous grocery store where you can have a sit-down meal, to great wine sections, to household/kitchen items. However.......go for the Nutella crepes at the Nutella Bar and the Lavazza espresso coffee.

A great place for breakfast or brunch. It tends to get busy the closer it gets to noon, however service is fast and the place is big, so the wait is never too long. We love their "Hey Ricky!" omelet and the "El Torero" scrambler.
