Sides & Sips
A good meal has to be well-rounded. While one could argue that most of the food groups (if not all) are represented in a sandwich, you’ve got to have something refreshing to wash it down with. And really, the importance of a good side can’t be understated! More food and drink = more to enjoy! Complete your feast with these outstanding options.

SIDES
Alexia Frozen Fries & Onion Rings: The folks at Alexia say they don’t just craft sides, but also “small ripples of joy.” Crispy and satisfying, these are fries you can make on the fly—check out their Yukon Gold, Sweet Potato and Waffle Cut Fries in our Frozen Department, and don’t forget their panko-breaded Onion Rings!
Goodles Noodles: These groovy noodles take the classic pasta-rific forms of mac, shells and more to a whole new level. They’re good on good with clean ingredients, plus extra plant nutrients, protein, fiber and, wait for it... real cheese. Did we mention the taste? Yep, they’re GOOD. You really can have it all.
Rusty’s Chips: Soak in that SoCal flavor with these perfectly crispy, all-natural and totally crave-worthy chips. Handmade in small batches from start to finish in Huntington Beach with simple, quality ingredients like hand-sliced Bakersfield potatoes, whole corn tortillas and Mediterranean Sea salt, they’re the real deal!
Boulder Canyon Potato Chips: If you consider yourself a chip connoisseur, you’ve been missing out if you haven’t tried Boulder Canyon. Made from original family recipes with thick-sliced, American-grown potatoes, it’s home-grown taste in a bag. (Sneak some into your sandwich if you want to upgrade them from “side” status!)
La Morenita Tortilla Chips: With humble beginnings in a family restaurant, these chips became so popular (because they’re immensely delicious) that the Curiel family decided to go big and bring them to households across California. They’re still proudly made in small batches in Napa—you can always count on their authentic, quality flavor.
SIPS
The Republic of Tea Bottled Drinks: This fancy tea is conveniently encased in glass bottles so, while completely worthy of the action, you won’t have to lift a pinky. Crisp, clean and expertly steeped, flavors like Passionfruit, Pomegranate and Decaf Ginger Peach provide perfect parch-preventing punctuation to any hearty summer fare.
Just Ice Tea: Not only do these certified organic and Fair Trade bottled teas come in fantastic flavors like Peach Oolong, Berry Hibiscus Herbal and Moroccan Mint Green Tea, their parent company, Eat the Change, is also committed to improving our food (and drink!) system at every level. Talk about sustainable sipping!
C2O Coconut Water: Sweet, young Nam Hom dwarf coconuts from Thailand’s fertile inland freshwater estuaries are the “C” in “C2O.” With superior taste and essential electrolytes, one sip will take you away for a brief moment to your own tropical island. Hydration + (mental) vacation = true refreshment!
GT’s Kombucha: Organic, raw and unpasteurized, this probiotic kombucha is made in small batches and fermented for 30 days for maximum flavor and potency. Enjoy on its own or as a wholesome base for a mocktail!
Dokkaebier Brewing Rice Kolsch: Brewed locally in Oakland, California, Dokkaebier Brewing Rice Kolsch is a crisp, lightly sweet craft brew with subtle notes of citrus. It’s easy to enjoy with a grilled cheese in hand, especially in warm weather!
