Hello there!

I'm super stoked to share my experience with the new store, 'Vkus & Gradus', located on Prospect Krasonarmeysky 112, near the Polzunov restaurant in my hometown of Barnaul.

The store is open daily from 9 am to 10 pm, which is pretty convenient.

Interior:

The store is small, but it's got this awesome unique charm that I really dig. The main interior features are the shelves, coolers, and a cash register.

They position themselves as a farm-to-table store, offering a pretty cool variety of products.

Product Assortment:

When I first visited, I was totally drawn to the various conserves and jams. I mean, who wouldn't be interested in bear or marmot conserves, right?

They've got a pretty wide selection of frozen pre-made meals, like fish or stuffed peppers, which look like they're made at home.

I didn't buy any, but I'm super eager to try them.

The prices are a bit higher than what I'm used to, but I guess that's to be expected from a farm-to-table store.

What I Bought:

My first purchase was some delicious cheese cookies and gingerbread - they were incredibly fresh and tasty.

When I went back the second time, the cookies were already two weeks old, and although the staff assured me they last longer, I think cheese cookies should be enjoyed fresh. I didn't buy the gingerbread, but my friends did, and unfortunately, it was a bit dry.

If you buy something fresh, it's definitely worth it, but do ask about the freshness.

The prices for baked goods are pretty reasonable, around 600-700 rubles per kilogram.

I'd say the store is an interesting and unique find, but my second purchase didn't exactly live up to my expectations.
