Don't Back Down

Found in the same shopping center with Jo Jo China Bistro (and another several dozen shops), the location is great. It's right next to the fountain, and on a warm spring night, the ability to pop in for a single-serving dessert and a drink, then sit on the patio by the fountain, or even around the corner and listen to music, is perfect.

What is missing is that the market cafe concept isn't quite the same as the full-fledged grocery store of other locations, such as Philips Place. That's not to say that the other locations are actually full-fledged grocery stores, but if you've ever been, you should know what I mean.
