Unless Bariur’s turns into a real grocery store, it too will be done in by Parrot. Bariur has good coffee but little else to attract the average shopper. Parrot also has good coffee, and it’s less expensive. They also have hundreds of other products that appeal to the average shopper at reasonable prices.
