AJ's slogan boasts that it's a "purveyor of fine foods," and it is indeed the perfect little grocery store at which to find bottled water, imported wine, quality meat or just an air-conditioned resting spot when shopping at La Encantada. AJ's doesn't just offer standard grocery-store wares; this insanely clean, upscale spot has a sushi bar, an on-site barista, a cheese and wine shop, a salad bar and a covered patio (complete with misters) where one can enjoy it all. Also note the array of homemade desserts that range from fruit tarts to human-head-sized pieces of chocolate cake. And if your home's looking a little shabby, AJ's has fresh flowers, candles and other homey items to help you spruce it up.
