My Yelp Review Careme's Market
Because I want to encourage Tampa to embrace Yelp, I will be cross posting my reviews here.- Nate Careme's Market: 4 stars
Since it just opened in October, 2009, I had never heard of Careme's Market until I saw a invitation on Facebook for an event featuring two of my friends, Michele Northrup, owner of Intensity Academy hotsauce, and Randy Watson, the wine blogger.My first thought was that, because it was in Lutz, it would be far away. In fact, it wasn't very far north of Bearss Ave, which I take on my way home from work.Upon entering, Careme's immediately reminded me of the some of the places north of Chicago, except it is bigger. And there is plenty of parking. The background music was nice jazzy vocals. Everything was super clean and new looking. They have a mix of ready-to-eat prepared food and sandwiches, deli meats and cheeses, packaged food, cold beverages, and a decent wine selection.The shelves offer a wide variety of items, including coffee, pasta, beans, snacks, etc. There are not a huge array of choices from each category, but it all looked good. I looked around for the tea section, thinking I would take home some interesting blend for my morning tweeting, but I either they don't have tea, or I simply didn't find it.Careme's Market strives to offer "Quality food and all the fun the law allows". While, I agree on the food, I am pretty sure there are some venues that legally boast more fun. All in all, though, it is a great little place and I wish them all the best.Shop local!
