I have very mixed feelings about Fox & Obel. For prepared foods, Fox & Obel is fairly stellar. And their cheese selection is not only quite large, the cheese "staff" will ensure that you pick the…

Yes, I have lived here for 3 years, and I cook, and I would probably classify myself as a "foodie," and I had never been to Fox and Obel. My Gooooooooooooddddd...I spent the WHOLE TIME in there with…

Great food like Beignets, Cafe du Monde coffee, scone mix, potstickers, fresh sushi grade tuna but great food comes with a price! They do have free valet with a minimum purchase.

Nice store. A lot of stuff you can not find in other stores. Up scale merchandise, nice cafe. One area they could improve are the check out lanes are very slow.
