The shop has frozen offerings from local establishments, like A Full Measure Catering. You can also order online for quick pick-up.

Five Loaves Catering, 710 Coliseum Dr.

This hidden gem has frozen soups and other offerings that vary daily. The storefront is closed, so you’ll need to call 336-721-1115 to inquire about what’s available.

Midtown Cafe and Dessertery, 151 S. Stratford Rd.

Mrs. Pumpkin’s, 3645 Reynolda Rd.

Stop in and pick up a Moravian chicken pie, soup, or other family dinner. Grab some rolls + baked goods to compliment your meal and don’t forget a dessert.
