“Today was the first day I have ever gone to Trader Joe’s, and I had nothing short of an amazing experience. All the employees that I came across were exceptionally nice especially Josh he came up and approached me and asked me if I needed anything and I asked if there was anything that had no sugar like a nice little snack/ sweet treat because I’ve been having a difficult time trying to find any after I got my gastric sleeve and he suggested the no sugar gummy worms and took me over to check to see if they were there they unfortunately were not out on the floor, but he went out of his way and checked for me to see if they had any in stock and they did and he went in the back and got a bag out for me out of the case and met me at the check out line. Kali (I think that’s her name it’s what was on the bottom of the receipt) was our cashier and she was also incredibly kind and friendly and very personable, there was another woman who I spoke with at produce when we came in around 4:30 as well working who I didn’t get her name (I should have) Who was also incredibly helpful and showed me where the mushrooms were after I explained it was my first time ever at a Trader Joe’s she was so incredibly welcoming and took me over to where they were at. Every employee that I came across today was So incredibly kind and you could tell they really enjoyed working there. Definitely will be coming back a lot more 🥰”
“Perfect Steak Philly. Chili dog amazing. Chicken salad salad worth the every penny. There should be more sandwich shops like this in Connecticut for sure.
And they make breakfast sandwiches apparently. Absolutely a good place to stop for food.”
“they use all kinds of distribution that most grocery stores around here don't use. It comes off as fancy, but the pricing is friendly, especially sale items.
staff is top notch friendly and knowledgeable”
“Trader Joe’s: a great experience every time. Freshest produce, every day foods you’d need and always new foods to try. Ready made meals, huge variety of frozen snacks, “sides” and more. Most of all we’ve yet to come across ANY employee who hasn’t had a genuine smile and great helpful attitude. The value is indeed there because you get what you pay for. Trader Joe’s is the exception, you get more!”
“Anna gave us an 'in home' pasta making class. What a wonderful experience. It felt like we were a family working to bring a meal together. We made 2 different pasta types and Anna made two sauces ( we helped a little ). Worth every dime.”
“Zamzam Market has very good food and very polite employees. I have been buying from this market for a year now. It has a very good attitude towards its customers one of the best halal markets in ct”

“Must stop shop any time I make it to Old Wethersfield
The Old Wethersfield Country Store is a charming gem nestled in the historic town of Wethersfield, Connecticut. Stepping into the store feels like taking a step back in time, with its nostalgic atmosphere and retro decor.
One of the highlights of the store is the wide selection of retro toys, which brought back fond memories of my childhood. From classic board games to vintage dolls, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The Penny Candy section is another delightful feature, offering a variety of sweet treats that will transport you back to simpler times.
The houseware items available at the store are also worth mentioning, with unique and quirky pieces that add a touch of charm to any home. From whimsical kitchen gadgets to vintage-inspired decor, there is something for every taste and style.
Overall, the old Wethersfield country store is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience a bit of nostalgia and charm. Whether you're looking to relive your childhood memories or simply enjoy browsing through unique and one-of-a-kind items, this store has it all. I highly recommend stopping by and taking a trip down memory lane at this delightful establishment.”
“Best place to buy sushi in the area. The quality of the seafood was exceptional…fresh, clean flavors, and beautifully presented. You can tell the chefs take pride in their craft.
The rice, which many places overlook, was perfectly seasoned and balanced, and every piece felt thoughtfully prepared. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both authenticity and consistency at this level.”

“Crown Market catered my grandsons Bris a few days ago and we were very pleased. Being new to the area I was somewhat skeptical at first ordering for this occasion but it was very well done. The platters were arranged in a lovely manner. But most of all, everything from the Nova to the desserts were delicious. Matt and Sarah adequately fulfilled the order. My only slight complaint is that the bagels need to be cut more evenly. However as a former New Yorker I am pleased to have found the Crown Market for Kosher food and now for catering.”
“I went to ALDI to grab a few basics and ended up finding everything I needed without spending much. I like that the store is simple, the prices are fair, and I can get in and out pretty quickly. It’s one of my go-to spots when I want grocery shopping to be easy.”
“Nice chilled beer and CBD vape, delta 8 at good reasonable price. Perfect combination to enjoy this summer. I also bought a herbal clean Qcarbo 16 ? strawberry mango flavor to detox myself. Amazing product. This store is my one stop shop for everything.”

“The amount of research Erika has done, her knowledge, and the information provided to me in my wellness assessment, has been helpful for me to start making changes to my diet and supplements in order to feel better. After my initial visit with Erika to review her recommendations, I have the motivation and a plan for making these changes. I look forward to working with Erika to help me in this process as I learn more about what works for me.”

Hubby had a mortadella sandwich with everything

“👍 Price-Rite Marketplace of W. Hartford-Elmwood has new shopping carts 7 checkouts 8 self checkouts 7 aisles Price-Rite Marketplace of W. Hartford-Elmwood was in business for 30+ years. Their hours are Monday-Saturday 8am-9pm and Sunday 8am-8pm. Price-Rite Marketplace sells Shop-Rite's brands they are Bowl 🥣 & Basket 🧺 Paper 📃 Bird 🐦 🐦⬛ and Wholesome Pantry. Price-Rite Marketplace was formerly Caldor and Ames. I remembered in 2002 after Ames and Caldor closed the Town of West Hartford decided to build a Price-Rite Marketplace there plus they removed the old wing 🪽 from.the former caldors and ames stores and renovated that whole strip and expanded it even subdivided it into Super Saver Laundromat Price-Rite Marketplace Niki's Dollar Store Nail 💅 Salon Loco Deals of West Hartford and a Harbor Freight Tools 🔧 Stores then they added in front of the Price-Rite Plaza a O'Reilly's Auto 🛺 Parts Store too. Back then there was before was a Salvation Army Thrift Stores Joey'z Shopping 🛍 Spree and Blast Fitness Clubs/Centers but those are now gone. By the way Price-Rite Marketplace Plaza has LED lights too.”

“Royal Indian Grocery is an absolute gem in West Hartford for all your South Asian cooking needs. The store is incredibly well-organized, clean, and stocked with an amazing variety of authentic products. Their spice aisle is unmatched, and they have an excellent selection of lentils, premium rice, snacks, and deep frozen foods (the frozen naan and paratha selection is fantastic). The produce section is always fresh, featuring hard-to-find vegetables like fresh okra, chilies, and curry leaves. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help you find what you need. It's a top-tier neighborhood staple!”
“The best prices the best owner, the best grocery ever is little Europe in this store all Greek Portuguese Bosnian Russian Ukrainian Georgian Turkish Albanian some Polish-and Italian stuffs !!!”
“I typically don’t shop for groceries at this establishment, as it’s not my usual choice. However, I must say they offer the absolute best freshly baked bread available. The aroma alone as you step inside is enough to draw you in, and the loaves are perfectly golden-brown, crusty on the outside while remaining soft and warm on the inside. Each bite is a delightful experience, making it worth the visit, even if I don’t often find myself here for other items.”
“Outstanding quality shopping center and extremely convenient to downtown area!highly recommend this shopping center...fantastic parking lot and safe high end stores...so...come on down and enjoy:)”
“Ahh, an awesome place, here I can find a lot of things from Brazil, from rice and beans that I love so much?? to several times of cheese and biscuits, coffee and a lot more!!!”
“I went there for the spare ribs on sale and they had them. The ribs weren't bad for the price. I had time so I walked around the store being that this was my first time there. I grabbed a few items that had good price to make the trip worth while. There isn't much to chose from, small store in comparison to major grocery stores. Only one check out line was opened, but the cashier was fast and friendly. Don't forget your quarter for the carriage.”
“Brookside Market has a nice neighborhood feel that makes shopping there easy. I like being able to grab fresh food, quick essentials, or something for later without dealing with a huge store. It’s simple, convenient, and the kind of local spot I’d be happy to stop into again.”
