“If you shop at trader Joe's you start to develop favorites. Things that they carry that are proprietary to them or that just seem better than what you might pick up at a regular grocery store. For example, they have some very fine cheeses that you don't see elsewhere. They carry a brand of mineral water that I am very fond of and almost no one else carries it. Employees are helpful and their registers are always manned adequately. They always carry flowers and especially there is a great selection around Valentine's Day.”
“I bought basmati rice from a grocer it was ok, I bought basmati rice here and there was a significant difference, in fact it tasted so Mediterranean I could not believe that I ever bought regular basmati rice from the grocery store. They also have a take out to go or eat in, I bought their fresh homemade Turkish tabbouleh it was out of this world. Going back tomorrow for more. A great international cuisine grocery and restaurant.”
“Absolutely love this butcher shop!!! There's not a single item we've ever had that we didn't love! The Argentine steak tips and pork chops are amazing, and our absolute favorite. Recently, we had the slightest misunderstanding, and before I had a chance to realize that we had bought someone else's order, they had called and texted me to let me know they wanted to make it right.
They were our favorite before this happened, and the honest way they approached this is exactly why we will continue to love them! You don't get the quality, selection, and service like this from a big box store. Support local business, like this one and there's no possibility of disappointment.
Shop here, and you'll be impressed. They are amazing!”
“Parking is always a challenge here. Produce usually always looks good. Cashiers seem to make a lot of mistakes with not knowing the different types of oranges or greens. People are usually friendly.”

“Easy, quick access to all the groceries and sundries we need from our rental unit by the beach. Appreciate their selection of organic produce and freshly baked sourdough.”
“I love this market so much! I can’t say enough about it. They have so many options including gluten-free, organic, non-gmo and many higher quality Asian food and health food. I use their purple sweet potato powder and white sweet potato powder for a flour alternative in baking and absolutely love it! I like how they work with local farms and other businesses so I know I’m getting good quality ingredients. They have high quality rice and they make their own kimchi and sauces which puts my mind at ease because most bottles of sauces go through so much transportation before ever getting to the store. I also take their immunitea blend with the black turmeric and haven’t had to take Advil for my headaches anymore. Their persimmon leaf tea too and turmeric tea are so so good and give me the energy I need throughout the day. Coming here I feel taken cared of. Thank you! ?”
“I'm a former crew member... I worked at the big cat habitat. They're in Sarasota ...and enjoyed shopping for some of the finest meats and some of the most marvelous produce fruits and to talk about the bakery. Well that's just another story and as it was so convenient for many of the on-premise and residence at the big cat habitat, equality, insurance and the friendly atmosphere and employees makes it a five-star and beyond place to be doing your shopping. It was very convenient and I'm sorry to say that I had to leave the big cat habitat, but I know Kay rosier and so many of the other wonderful people there the big cat Habitat shop there at. Thank you for your business and may it always expand and may always be what people need. Thank you very much. If I return, I will certainly be buying all groceries there. Absolutely, I promise. Good day and peace on Earth and stop the wars and hear the thunder and patronize the big cat habitat as often as often as you can. You can't see it in one day. The families will love it. Be it big or small and remember they that all our days be circus days the ups and downs and the Downs and ups and all around we all have ?☮️??️✌️”
“Great place to shop and dream about cooking. Some stuff has good prices some is too high so be careful. Also you are buying restaurant sized goods so it's big! Love the place”
“Janie’s Amman @ MLK & Central in Sarasota is the flavor set we have been missing here!! My true test is always the Babaghanouj and theirs is absolutely perfect ?? This chicken schwarma wrap will be my beach go-to this spring ? super clean just grilled chicken, pickles, tzatziki and the wrap ??? I haven’t had schwarma this perfect since I was in DC a few years back!!”

“Well stocked and organized store. I was able to find all the items I needed and the staff was very helpful when I needed directions to a product on sale. I always enjoy shopping at Publix.”
“This store is one of the best Publix I have ever experienced. But a manager named Sarah completely lacks the social skills and respect for the Publix Organization. Almost all of the associates properly greet customers. But this manager is a failure at reflecting the Publix policy of acknowledging and greeting customers. She is not qualified nor does she has personal skills required to manage coworkers if she fails to perform the basic duty of making shopping at Publix an enjoyable experience. Please feel free to reach out to me if this individual has also been unprofessional during your visit to our neighborhood Publix.
If any member of corporate management would like to know more please reach out to me.”
“Great grab and go options from the restaurant. He place to pick up the very popular pot pies. Other grab-and-go items as well including fresh cookies and desserts.”

“Great produce, large selection of ? cheese, variety of foods you might not find elsewhere. 2 for 1 sale is good, just make sure its really a deal before buying. Overall good clean store.”
“DetWiler Farms is one of the funnest grocery stores ever. It is tradition with my family to go to DetWiler's Saturday evening just before closing for Yoder's ice cream cones and some 2 for one fresh baked goods. The deli sandwiches are great. The produce and fruit are second to none. The extensive selection of organic jellies and candies and hard to find sodas are fun. How many other grocery stores are a destination itself?”
“It's reminds of the good ole days. Grocery shopping where the staff are smiling and it's genuine, they're happy, they're glad to be working there and it shows. They're closed on Sunday, that means a lot to many people! The way things are displayed, the hand written notes, the atmosphere, the feel you have walking through the store. It's not big box, it's not corporate looking or feeling. It's what it was in simpler, friendlier and more family oriented. It just gives you a warm welcome feeling that is rare in this age of artificial intelligence and digital electronics dominating everything.”
“Love this Market. The salad bar and hot bar are very good. I purchased one of their roasted chickens. It was so flavorful and kept very hot. It was absolutely delicious..
A great selection and if you live in LWR, you don’t have to cross over to get Into traffic to go to Whole Foods or The Fresh Market.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Thanks and, Keep up the great work!”
“Great place to shop lower prices. Usually only three clerks work this place.So it might be a while to get out of checkout line, they only seemed to want to open one lane.That's the drawback here.”
“I was shopping earlier today (12/15/2025) and had no many other than my card that was not working for all of my items.
The manager was called over to assist.
The manager, Matt, took the time to rescan all of my items, helping me discover what the issue was with my card so that I could purchase my food. I was embarrassed, but Matt made sure that I felt that I really mattered. Great customer service!”

“Middle of the road Hungarian cuisine. We sampled the tripe stew, chicken paprikash, and chicken soup.
Having eaten in Hungary on numerous occasions, we found the food bland. Perhaps it is made to cater to the American taste. The tripe was well prepared, as this is something difficult to cook properly. All in all, it was a good meal, but the passion in preparation was lacking.”

“Stopped in for some charcuterie fixings and Dave in the hot food section helped me and my friend. He was so polite, friendly and funny. When I inquired about the Publix famous chicken finger subs he was very informative. We had already filled our cart so we declined ordering a sub. He went out of his way to find us and offer a sample. The chicken with his mix of hot honey and siracha sauce was AMAZING!
Hold on to this wonderful employee! You dont get customer service like that anymore!”
“I absolutely love Scots Corner! This shop is filled with the most charming and high-quality British and Scottish goods, from beautiful keepsakes to fun little treats you won’t find anywhere else. Their selection of chocolates, biscuits, teas, and authentic foods is incredible — everything tastes fresh and delicious. The staff are always so friendly and helpful, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. Whether you’re shopping for a gift or craving something from across the pond, this store never disappoints!”
“Ppl get to know ya who work here. Ray the butcher is outstanding. Butchering is a lost art and it's being phased out because of vac(map) packaging, ascorbic acid, carbon monoxide,nitrates which makes meat not be fresh but gives the appearance it is. Support the trade. Buy your meat fresh. The grocery chains say it saves liability. Well if you can keep wet aged meat red for 45 days your deceiving the customer. You lose the cuts we grew up with. Regardless it's not fresh. Doesn't offer special cuts and in some cases you don't know what's in it. If you can't buy your meat from Ray. Just buy your proteins from a place that still cuts down the animals. Ray said 90 percent of all these ppl that cut steaks aren't butchers they just cut meat and 99 percent can't tell you where it comes from ,how it's attached, what's best for how your cooking or what part of the animal is used for what and what's new or troubling the industry. Butchers should be focused on their trade. Not unboxing hotdogs or bacon. Stores are forcing entry level labor on experienced usually older ppl that could help future generations of trades ppl. It's hard to teach hungry young adults a trade when society is doing away with a trade that has been around since the first meat eater. Support your meat industry. Get your roast or steaks wrapped in brown paper. Keep plastic packaging for milk.”
“Incredible customer service and very kind, I highly recommend this shop!! They are phasing out repairs, but if you're lucky enough to have something fixed up by them, the craftsmanship is excellent as well as affordable.”
“Always go in store and look for the yellow labels on meat and poultry. Fantastic deals to be found. Moderate to high prices in general, but look for sales items. Also use the app.”
“Looks tiny but has an amazing selection of wonderful wines, cheeses, baked goods, and groceries for your beach trip! Loved their Boars Head, toasted rosemary crisps, chocolate chip muffins, and even a birthday cake for an early celebration!”

“I've been coming to Publix for a long time now, so I know where everything is at. They have always had ample fresh fruit and vegetables. The people who work there have always been helpful and friendly, and they've helped me find .Prices here are very competitive. The parking lot at the local grocery store is quite spacious and conveniently located. There are plenty of designated handicap spaces available, and the overall cleanliness of the store is indeed excellent. The restrooms are consistently well-maintained and kept very clean.”
“I arrived at the place because they recommended the sancocho there. A Latin dish that in my country (Cuba) is known as CALDOSA And I fell in love with that Colombian flavor and style that I found in that broth. The Colombian meat empanadas were fried for me at the moment. Very good service from the young employee who attended to me from the moment I walked through the door. A small but cozy place with an ethnic Colombian theme. I recommend it.And I'll be back”
“The produce is absolutely amazing here!!! All of the fresh products are wonderful!!!
I just wish there was more room to move around, this is a smaller location. Other than that, store is extremely clean and the staff is very pleasant ♥️”
