The strip mall on Woodward, now occupied by Moose Jaw Mountaineering and a few other stores, attracts a trendy customer looking for quality. And quality is what they find at Papa Joe's. Upon entering, the selection of chocolate alone will make you swoon. Godiva, Robert Schmidt and Mariebelle are some of the best, and the Mariebelle silk-screened chocolates . ($1.60 each) presented in a handmade box from Italy are truly works of art. The middle of the store houses an enormous gourmet to-go area where some of the cooking is done. Rotisserie grills, stainless ovens and as many as 12 servers are on hand to help you with spit-roasted rotisserie vegetables, poultry and meats, along with a large variety of salads and soups. A gorgeous selection of up to 15 interesting raviolis are available, includ- ing a red-and-white striped tomato- and-egg pasta to butternut squash ravi- oli with red pepper, parmesan, maple syrup and sage (each at $9.95 a pound). There is also an in-store sushi bar. The front window is lined with tables that allow you to pick up food, a Coffee or drink at Cafe Joe's Juice Bar and relax. Glass and stainless cases of gelato, pastries, Breadsmith, Zingerman and Dakota breads and Papa Joe's pizza also line the front of the store. The specialty food selection is tremendous, as is the two-floor Wine Loft. Wide aisles, terracotta-colored walls and floor tiles, high industrial- painted ceilings and simple architectural black-and-white signage provide an easy shopping experience. Meats, poultry and fish are displayed meticulously, and the fresh produce looks like it was displayed to be pho- tographed. "The produce and meats are out- standing," said Susie Sillman of Birmingham. "My children want to go there with me because they want to eat their way through the store (samples)!" she said. Bottom Line: A feast for all, Papa Joe's appeals to one's taste, smell and visual senses. While the prepared foods were somewhat inconsistent in flavor and preparation, the produce, breads, olive bar and chocolates are exceptional. ❑
