It's a Publix, not much to say. Clean restrooms, decent salad, bar, and olive bar. Clearance is a hidden gem, lunch time gets busy and there is a decent size eat-in area to enjoy that Publix sub I know your dying to eat now.

This Publix is located in Hamlin area. I love this Publix! But this is Publix, if you know Publix you know what to expect. Pub Subs! It is your typical grocery store plain and simple. But what I love about this location is the clean atmosphere and friendly staff. This Publix is always so bright and so clean. They always have yummy and delicious desserts, we can always find something! The deli is always busy but the wait is never crazy long. The seafood section always has some great options and the sushi! On Wednesday the sushi is only $5!! The meat section is really good and if you want something different they will make it for you. They never really have the meatloaf mix for example, but they have no problem putting one together for me. Again this is your typical grocery store but the people are what makes it fantastic. There is always someone around to help you with any questions or finding an item. If the checkout lines get too long, managers, team members, whoever, jump on the registers and help the lines. Publix does have an app as well, which I have been using more lately. They have digital coupons you can add to your account and when you checkout you type in your phone number and the coupon gets applied. You can also see the weekly specials (Hello BOGO) and you can even order your deli meat, subs and hot food ahead of time. I will always choose Publix over say Walmart which is right across the street. And this one is fantastic!

Publix? Ok if you live anywhere in Florida chances are you have been to a Publix and may wonder why I'm reviewing our hometown grocery store. You can basically throw a rock anywhere in Orlando and hit a Publix. But this review is about *my* Publix, near my house. The thing with Publix is there is a big difference depending on which one you go to. At their worst, they can be older, dark and full of mostly pre-wrapped and pre-packaged food, including produce (I like to select my own fruits and veggies and don't like the plastic wrapped displays). Newer Publix's, like this one, are different. It is bright with wide aisles and a better selection of produce. The deli has Boars Head cold cuts, which for me, the daughter of a NY deli owner, is a huge deal. In fact I will choose a Publix sub any day over our other sandwich chains...(except of course Earl of Sandwich, because that Thanksgiving sandwich is the best). The cashiers are polite and will carry your bags out to your car if you like. There is always plenty of parking. And, if you are feeling it, you can always head across the parking lot to Abbott's for some custard :) So, I'm raving about this Publix... but why 4 stars and not 5? I wish it were a Whole Foods or Fresh Market. But as Publix goes, this one is as good as they come, and for a neighborhood grocery I'm pretty happy with that. For anyone staying near Disney, especially in the Flamingo Crossing area, this Publix is so much better than the ones on Irlo Bronson Highway, so just take 429 up a few exits and you'll do much better.

Clean and friendly service Deli department is clean but wish that service is little faster. Pharmacy service is very satisfactory with prescription medicine and medicine refills

I would love to keep using a neighborhood pharmacy but this Publix pharmacy never, ever gets it right. If always being out of stock, long waits, nasty service and 5 times more expensive, the last straw for me was that today they gave me THE WRONG MEDICATION! There is some serious changes needed here. Be careful!

I know allot of winter garden people love this store. I don't like it for these reasons: *I'm small of stature and big pickups barrel through the stop signs for pedestrian crossings, cutting around the long light at Vineland and SR50, and inevitable I have to jump out of their way. Often!! Need big speed bumps!! And police stationed to stop people with the cut throughs. *the store is crowded with allot of special extra " look here" displays that prevent quick shops. Get them out! *they have some organic produce and meat but they could have more!! * the store is dark and depressing. They need to paint and add warm daylight lights. *sometimes all one needs is fresh produce. Don't hide it in the back. Make it easily accessible in the front with fresh flowers and wine. A quick in and out. People will pop in more! * I often get a grouchy clerk. Do they have long hours here?? *Some organic candles would be great too!! In the front. Quick hostess gifts. Honestly. I don't go here. I either go to the one just over lake county line in Clermint. Or go all the way to Stonerbrook west. A smaller store but nice. Compact with friendly staff.

Stale rotten groceries. I guess their cakes are supposed to be good or something. Super slow. Long lines. Good luck finding produce that isn't rotten. I've always had something moldy.

I am always able to find good quality food, fresh produce, and fresh bread when I go into Publix. The best part is that the prices are pretty competitive to other grocery stores in the area. My kids are very picky, so to be able to find fresh fruit, and good clean fresh broccoli is important. These are staples in their everyday meals. The deli is usually quick, and even when they aren't the associates are great about greeting every customer and letting them know they will be with them as quickly as they can. One thing that this Publix location might benefit from would be to have a cooler end cap that has freshly sliced deli meat like other stores in the are have. This would allow them to prep the stores most requested meats for people to grab and go.

Hearing the pompous, condescending guy bagging my groceries openly complaining about the customer in front of me being a Trump supporter was a bleak experience. I can't even go to my local grocery store without someone feeling self-important and hearing their insufferable political opinions.

Rave for the Publix in Hamlin! Was doing my shopping this morning and was looking for canned creamed corn and could not find any of the Publix brand so I asked a young man stocking the shelves it they had any, he quickly finished what he was doing and looked in the inventory app on his phone and told me that hey were out of Public creamed corn but they had Green Giant brand and he showed me where it was, excellent customer service, thanks Jared. Later as I was navigating my way from the eggs to the cash registers I heard a young girl (2-3 yrs old) that was upset because her Mom was carrying her and she was starting to get louder when another Publix employee walked down the aisle and gave the young girl a helium balloon, he did not have a nametag but it looked like he worked in the deli area. As I arrived at the checkout I was greeted by Priya (forgive me if I misspelled It)the cashier and she made small talk while she scanned my items, we talking about our plans for the day, when the bagger, Isabella joined in the conversation. It was a very pleasant visit and set an upbeat mood for the day.

This review is ONLY based on the BAKERY of this Publix location. I used to love getting the carrot cakes from here, but not anymore. I think they got a new baker or something because the old cakes used to be so moist and delicious. Today I got a red velvet sliced cake and some guava cake bars. From the presentation alone I was drooling. The cakes looked delightful so I took a bite the second I came home. The second I released the fork from my mouth, I was in utter disbelief. The cake was so dry it felt as if I had just ingested sand. The guava desert cake was another crumbly mess. Please Publix change the baker and have better cakes!!

This large, new, clean grocery store is located just off FL 429 at the New Independence Parkway Exit. Normally, people tend to shop at stores near home, but this location is nice enough to consider shopping here even if you don't consider it your local store. Assuming your commute (or regular driving pattern) takes you down Florida 429, you might want to checkout Hamlin Cove -- a lovely shopping center with several new restaurants, a fitness center and central Florida's nicest Publix store! Publix is noted for clean, well-lit, nicely merchandised stores with courteous, well-trained personnel, but there's something about this store that is extra special.

I was really excited when this Publox first opened, but since I have been repeatedly disappointed. The produce is often less withering, the shelves are out of stock of common items, and although this Publix is the biggest in the area, its selection is smaller. I frequently have to travel to other Publix stores that are smaller in order to find several items common to those stores. For example, this store has been out of mild Publix brand salsa for more than a month, and there's no peanut butter captain crunch. Very disappointing.

Always a great place to shop. Do people really complain? I am not sure why Publix needs reviews.
