Grocery Stores in Bradenton, FL

“Manatee Avenue Market Gumbozilla is an amazing place. Delicious fresh food. Lots of items that other convenience stores do not have. The owners and staff are professional, welcoming and kind.”

““Great place to shop for fresh food! The store was very clean and well organized. The fruits, vegetables, and meats all looked very fresh and high quality. Prices can be a little higher on some items, but there are always good deals if you look around. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I will definitely come back!””

“Aldi is not perfect, but it is among my favorite places to shop. Although the selection is less, the value for the money is better than most larger supermarkets. What I appreciate the most about it is the friendly staff, and their positive attitudes and willingness to help when asked. I have found breads with less ingredients and more flavor. Healthier, less processed food options are important to me. Of course you have to read labels, just like anywhere else! I usually start my shopping at Aldis and if I can't find everything I need I go on to other stores. I appreciate the good value, and the positive shopping experience.”

“Had such a wonderful time at the Pineapple Kitchen Murder Mystery Dinner. Mike and Jenny Schenk, along with the entire dinner crew, pour so much heart into every detail, and it truly shows in the care, quality, and creativity of the whole experience. The story was fun and engaging, the humor kept everyone laughing, and Mike brought the mystery to life in such an impressive way. You can feel the passion they all have for creating a night that guests will remember. The food was so delicious too, which made the evening even more special. Highly recommend!”

“I regularly have a good experience at this Aldi but tonight I felt the service needed to be commended. My cashier, Dyquaris, was super friendly, super quick... not only helpful to me, but also watched him assist an elderly lady in picking up her cane she dropped. Im not surprised by his actions as his attitude is clearly a very positive one for the store and I wanted you to know.”

“I love this Publix store. It’s amazing they provide with the best customer service food is good vegetables is fresh store is clean. The management are so nice. I cannot ask more than that. Thank you so much for making me be happy with everything you provide.”

“Publix stores are always well stocked with grocery, bakery, deli and produce items. Their meat and fish selections are adequate. This one is no exception. The store and parking lot are always clean. Only complaint is their higher than average prices but if you shop the BOGO's carefully, you can offset this.”

“Aldi is one of my favorite grocery stores to shop! You just never know what kinds of things that they might have on hand, along with the staples that are always available.”

“Such a nice location and pleasant employee staff. While other locations are closer….. This Publix has a pleasant store team and more enjoyable to shop.”

“Always find all items fresh! From the produce: fruits and vegetables, too great deli meats, cheeses and hot food with a salad and soup bar. Love the fresh bakery breads and desserts. Great meat and seafood selection and courteous, respectful, helpful staff. I seriously never find anything wrong with their food or service! They deserve 10 stars.”

“On Saturday 2/14 in the evening I ran into Publix, my 5 year old grandson was coming and I wanted to get a few things for him for Valentines. I was walking around the bakery talking to my husband saying I just want one cupcake they dont have just one cupcake, Aaron says to me your looking for one cupcake? I said yes, he said I might be able to help you, he walked over to the bakery counter spoke to Andy, then turned around and said go pick out the cupcake you want. I was so surprised, so happy that Aaron was listening and stopped what he was doing to help me. I told Andy which cupcake and had one more request, I asked him if he could write a heart on it, he took his time and drew the best heart that he could on this little cupcake. All I wanted was one little cupcake, I didn’t think I was going to get it but because Aaron was listening, and Andy’s little heart on a cupcake, my little Valentines for my grandson was perfect. I want to thank Aaron and Andy for going over and above and I want to thank Publix bakery for being one of the best parts of the store. -Melissa and Oliver Holder”

“Well, it's just another magnificent Publix experience, emphasized by the associates who work diligently to make customers feel welcome in their stores. I have never found a better chain of supermarkets in Florida! ??

“Not big but lots of Asian nessesities if you cook at home. They are very helpful and also have a back room stocked with cooking and eating utensils and service ware.”

“* LONG REVIEW* PLEASE READ!

My wife and I went to this location yesterday as we had a custom preordered birthday cake to pick up. Upon arrival at the bakery, we realized that the cake they had given us was not the correct cake. Not a huge deal, but it’s our daughter’s 3rd birthday and we really wanted it to be perfect for her! So, the bakery associate called over the manager whose name is Josh. Josh immediately greeted us with a friendly approach and told us he would make everything right.

He proceeded to ask us exactly what the cake was supposed to be and my wife showed him the picture that she had originally showed the bakery before ordering the cake. Josh realized the differences and he immediately took the price tag off of the cake and said kindly, “Here, you may have this cake for FREE since we messed up the order”.

We thought to ourselves, awesome! However, Josh was not done there. Next, he stated that the bakery manager, Veronica would be in to close the bakery this evening and that she could quickly prepare our original cake for us as well, also for FREE!!

It STILL doesn’t end there… Josh and Veronica then put together a plan to hand deliver the new cake to our home!!! Talk about exceptional customer service! This type of service is the type you would expect in a 5 star high end resort or restaurant.

We were completely blown away by how well Josh (the Publix manager) and Veronica (the bakery manager) handled this specific situation. They completely went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND to ensure that we were able to give our daughter the best birthday cake she could have ever imagined!

This experience will truly stick with me forever as I am also in the hospitality and service industry. This is EXACTLY the way a situation should be shown to new workers in training because of how perfect it was handled!!!

PUBLIX CORPORATE- Please, take notice to this very specific situation and make sure Josh and Veronica receive the proper attention they deserve for doing the absolute best they could do!!!

We cannot say thank you enough to Josh and Veronica!! We will be Publix customers for life!!

“I love the opportunity to get 40lbs of chicken breast for $52. Sure I need to freeze them, but so what my dogs love the chicken.
Staff is nice and kind.”

“I live on the island but often shop st Beachway Plaza Public, because it has so much more, including a Zenshi Sushi chef (who has made special orders for me with briwn rice, when he has some), and the Island Publix doesn't carry many items that I see on sale in the Publix app. Their app is the best (since they fixed it) and I make my list in the app, and at checkout, it applies my saved coupons and rewards, and I get my receipt by email.
The Beachway store staff are very helpful, and have ordered itemsfor me that are out of stock. Check my pictures to see the BOGO sale items. I got rainchecks for the organic, grass fed steaks on BOGO!
The staff at both stores are great - and even transfer when needed.”

“A great Publix, staff is fast and reliable to your needs. Quick shopping for Me. Great location! Obviously the management must be really good here. I did get a box of their fried Chicken and it could have been a little more done around the bone, so I always microwave each piece for about 15-30 seconds to compensate. If I were going on an outing without power I would have them make up a fresh box Thats really done, to the bone. Products are a little higher here, but it’s probably the area it’s in. Deli, cook that fried chicken, for another couple minutes and your problem would probably be solved, and you would get a five star. Store is very clean and in order with other Publix stores I’ve shopped. If they fix the well done chicken in Deli I will change this. The bakery is a 5 star all the way. You’re so close to a 5 star, but underdone food that is fried can be an issue for people.”

“AlexMom. I have a great day. We 9 have the 9 in our first place! The hospital and we have to get mom from the hospital for see you. Alex Deval I will get 2 to you. 46765i T5uturjtu7ru4j57tu fjfus hs y. I 59 the in to and be there 2wpw2pl3wwskdowlsosq 10.30am.”

“Always enjoy shopping at Sprouts on Cortez. Staff is friendly and helpful. They have a great selection of foods, and don't even get me started about their bulk aisles!!”

“One of the best Filipino grocery stores in the area, super clean, well-organized, and the staff is always so warm and welcoming! ??♥️?
Highly recommended!”

“I shopped here for nearly 20 years before moving out of Florida altogether. The owners were always super kind and friendly. Store is well-stocked with pretty much anything you could need. Growing up in NW Bradenton, it was a super convenient location to ride my bike to. As I got older, it remained a local staple and many late night snack/beer runs were made here. It is an all-around great store. 5/5 stars.”

“The Fresh Market in Bradenton is a beautiful store with a great atmosphere and a very impressive selection.

We found many hard-to-find items here, including specialty flours and other ingredients that are not always easy to locate in regular grocery stores.

The bulk foods section is also excellent, with a wide variety of nuts, snacks, and other items.

The wine section was another pleasant surprise. They have a good selection of Riesling wines, although I almost missed them because they were not clearly marked and were not in the “European wines” section. A little better signage would make that section even easier to shop.

The produce looked very fresh, and the seafood, flowers, and prepared foods areas all added to the feeling that this is a store where presentation and quality matter.

Service was also very good. Several employees asked whether I was finding everything, and when a line started forming at the only open register, they immediately opened a second one.

Overall, this is a very pleasant place to shop, especially if you are looking for specialty items, fresh produce, specialty wine, or just a more enjoyable grocery-shopping experience.”

“This is smaller than other markets in the Sarasota-Bradenton region. It's totally enclosed air-conditioned and weather proof, unlike the Red Barn, The Oneco Farmer's Market in Manatee County, Florida, is a large, daily market featuring over 100 vendors with fresh produce, dry goods, local art, and multicultural food stalls, including popular Latin American cuisine. It serves as a community hub with live music, events, and a platform for small businesses, offering a diverse shopping experience beyond just traditional farm produce, with some reviewers noting a stronger focus on prepared foods and retail items.
What to expect
Vendors: A wide variety of vendors selling fresh produce, bulk goods, clothing, crafts, and more.
Food: Numerous multicultural food stalls, with a strong emphasis on Latin American cuisine like Honduran and Mexican food.
Atmosphere: A lively, community-focused environment with live music and events, especially on weekends.
Beyond produce: While it's a farmer's market, it functions as a large retail and food market with many non-produce options.
What to know
Focus: It's known for its food and retail, with some visitors noting it's more about prepared foods and goods than just fresh farm produce.
Community: It's a popular spot for local events and supporting small businesses. Seasonal merchandise, special holiday events and community gatherings. Visits to the Market are always new and eye opening with different discoveries down every aisle, and consistant favorite retailers”

“Today, I had the absolute pleasure of being helped by Adrian at the sandwich counter, and I feel compelled to say something because moments like this are rare.

I watched Adrian prepare my sandwich with a level of care, focus, and intention that immediately stood out. Every ingredient was placed thoughtfully and precisely, as if he understood that each bite mattered. I was so absorbed in watching him work that I nearly forgot what topping I was supposed to request next. It wasn’t just sandwich-making, it was pride in action.

That attention to detail translated directly into the final result. I am an avid Pub Sub eater, and this was hands down the best sub I’ve ever had. It tasted better because it was made with care. There was no rushing, no shortcuts, just genuine effort and respect for the customer.

Adrian clearly takes tremendous pride in his work, and that kind of character cannot be taught. If he carries this mindset with him throughout his life and career, he will excel in anything he chooses to do.

Please give this man a raise. I truly mean that.

As someone who also works in customer service, I can confidently say this level of dedication is exactly what keeps people coming back. Thank you, Adrian, for setting the standard and for reminding people what excellent service looks like.”

“Just the right size... just what we need.. clean and well stocked. Deli carries some items that a larger store did not have and the staff was prompt and friendly.”

“Love these guys!! Karina, Sareli and Dainier have catered several events for me and I love using them. They are punctual, kind and the food is AWESOME!!! Thanks for everything guys ❤️❤️”

“They have a nice small place. The Mother's flowers were a rip-off , very expensive, but to be such a small place, have a good variety. We got some BBQ meat, and it was delicious.”

“Discount tobacco has lower down their vapes prices. Also the have lots of new varieties add good deals when you buy 2 vapes of anything.
Great service here and very polite person work here. We love this place.”

“Bought 40 tacos half chicken half asada
Everything was made just right on time and very friendly and courteous and they also helped me cary to food to my car. Best tacos ever will definitely come back and order another batch when doing another get together with the family 10/10”

“Mashallah it’s an amazing store. I’ve been shopping here for long time. I NEVER had any item expired or spoiled. Always nice smell inside, clean. They have nice selections too. They don’t lie. We (muslims) look at kosher / halal in same way. Its done in strict manner. Many talk about prices, “ what you want them to sell for $1” ? Of course not!
Alhamdulillah i’m happy this store is here!
Nice tea section aswell ! And sweets”
