Harmon's Draper Crossing: A Grocery Oasis

If you haven't been to the new Draper Crossing Harmon's near IKEA, you are so missing out. Harmon's has long been my favorite grocery store in the state, but now they've upped their game even more by opening the new Draper Store. The first thing you notice as you walk in the store is their insanely cool cheese bar:

There are well over 300 kinds of cheese, and I was amazed by their selection. Among my favorites include a sage derby cheese, an applewood smoked white cheddar and a cocoa goat cheese. In addition to the amazing cheeses, they also carry a full line of Boar's Head deli meats. They have Boar's Head meats we've never seen before, including their natural uncured line.

In addition to grocery items, the new Harmon's also boasts a gelato bar, tons of prepared food, a dining room to sit down an enjoy your meal in, an artisan bakery with delicious whole grain breads, dry aged beef, a gourmet chocolate counter, and much more. I've been there twice so far and still haven't made it through the whole store. Oh, and also, they have really nice clean bathrooms there.

Stop by the new Draper Harmon's and prepare to be ruined for all other grocery stores :)

This place is amazing. Artisan whole grain breads made from organic whole wheat flour, imported cheeses from European caves, and the best Boar's Head meats you'll ever lay eyes on - it's a little piece of heaven!

All those years ago, I had no idea that we would have so much in common. I get giddy if I can think of an excuse to go to the H.E.B, our flagship grocery store. But I have to admit, that your Harmon's does sound cooler. Not cool enough to pull me away from Texas, but almost.
