Harris Teeter | 1015 Providence Rd

Description: Large supermarket chain with deli & bakery departments, plus health & beauty aids.

Comments: There's a Starbucks downstairs with a decent amount of seating, but what makes this a third place is the upstairs area with even more seating, a huge outdoor patio, and a bar. The outdoor patio is so large you can almost certainly always get a corner to yourself, but bring noise canceling headphones if you sit outside, it’s right above a busy street. The restrooms are upstairs making it convenient. Harris Teeter's is interesting in that some locations are just a grocery store, and others are like a grocery store and community hangout spot with a bar, hot food, Starbucks, plenty of seating, etc. This is the latter.
