“The isles is a bit narrow, so can easily become crowded. The prices is not to bad.
The meat is good, the meat prices is very good and they do have a good variety. I will definitely be going there again”
“This place was my introduction to authentic Bosnian food and it was a delicious and decadent experience. It is so amazing that Waterloo has such a gem in this town. I was recommended to go here by a Bosnian friend of mine in Cedar Rapids and I am so glad I listened. They have fresh items made in the morning like the Burke. It is so soft and savory. They also serve really good Turkish coffee. The searing is limited because of the small space but the vibes give you the “back home” type of feeling.”
“A great place to do a grocery shopping With a great meat counter. They do a good job bagging your groceries and putting them in the cart and they walk it out to your car and load it up. A full service grocery store. Just like in the old days I love it.”

“They have a nice selection of non-perishable boxed and canned goods as well as refrigerated and frozen food. Their produce is mostly organic and well displayed. The vitamin/supplement section to me is extensive and they've always had what I've gone after. There's a section in the store for skin products, including soaps, lotions, hair care and women's hygiene items. The store appears clean and well illuminated. The staff has most always been friendly and helpful. You'll need to bring your own checkout bag. They do, however, have boxes by the checkout for your items if you need them. They have what appears to be a little restaurant/taste testing sit-down room near the entrance. I've never seen this manned, so not sure what it is. I typically visit store on weekends or evenings so maybe it's in operation during other times. Seems like a wasted opportunity to provide service to more people or of real estate to me.”
“Growing up on the northeast side of Waterloo, Corks has become a staple in the area. I can almost remember when it opened about 40 years ago. We bought milk and bread, deli meat, cases of pop, and kegs of beer there. The prices have always been very reasonable for a small store. Even when living across town, I traveled to Corks for fresh deli meat and other specials. From what I gather, the cigarette prices are some of the lowest around. Their homemade deli sandwiches are great, and some are exceptional values. I was worried that when new owners took over, things would change drastically. There have been some changes, nothing to disappoint. While I really miss some of the previous employees, some have remained, and the new owners are outgoing, helpful, and nice. Definitely recommend.”
“Good place to go. Friendly service, good selection. While the price of milk there is markedly higher than Walmart, I'll pay the difference because..it's not Walmart. Easy to get to, easy to get what ya need, easy to pay and leave out when done.”
“I love this place for their desserts!! Oh Mylanta, you guys have to go try all of it! I walk out with 6 pieces of each of my favorites! tiramisu is delicious, Bak lava, is always a favorite! Cheese cake! Go right now, (closed Thursdays) so good!!!!”
“Stopped in to check out their ice cream and was glad we did. They have a wonderful variety of ice cream, and any other dairy product you would need. They have cute little souvenir items. They also have their parking posts painted uniquely. Employees are friendly and helpful.”

“Fantastic food! Authentic and bold flavors that bring back lots of fond memories for people who grew up in Southeast Asia. Definitely a hidden gem and I highly recommend!”
“Friendly and helpful staff, selection of goods and general cleanliness of the store would earn it 6 stars if Google would let me. One of the most impressive Asian markets I've been to.”
“Found everything on my list. Meat Dept helpful cut and wrapped meat bundled as requested. Easy check out. Assistance to car. In and out with large purchase quickly. Food good quality and fresh.”
“I love shopping at aldi. Is super affordable and has all the healthy food options I need. I can get in and out pretty quick too. Used to be you had to wait forever in line, but they have recently added self checkouts which are nice to use.”
“Not a huge drinker, so it is really nice that the employees are very helpful when I am looking for something. Last time I was in I was looking for mead, and they were able to help me find it right away. Not a huge selection of mead, but still more than I expected. Plus it is convenient to be able to also pick up a few items from the store and check out in the wine and spirits.”
“I went in to buy some flowers for someone in the hospital. The lady who waited on me was very helpful and kind. I'd recommend them for flowers. The recipient loved them!”

“We haven't seen the beeping carts in a while that are mentioned in the following review.
Good prices! There are some pesky things about Aldi, though.
Usually out of a significant amount of what you put in a pickup order for. Aisles aren't laid out well and it's cramped. Some employees are very nice, some are rude and don't seem to care, unlike the old ALDI on University. Employees regularly "beep" at people with their pickup order shopping cart to get out of the way, that's just one example. Just imagine a car horn honking at you while shopping, over and over again. It's a constant noise you hear in the store, probably because it's so cramped. I miss the old ALDI on University.
3 times on pickup orders we've ordered some individual fruits, but instead received and were charged for bags of fruits. For example, we ordered 6 individual plums and received 6 bags of plums, each containing about 13 plums. Who wants that many plums? We had to return them to the store. I'd think this would be an easy thing to notice when doing an order. After the 3rd time this happened I tried to call the store and ask them pass this on to the workers, but Aldi doesn't give out store phone numbers so you can't contact them. The last time we didn't need to return the fruit and just got a refund.
We'll still shop here probably because it's affordable and they have some good items.”
“Very helpful employees. A particular shout out to Jessica as she welcomed my mother into the store & kept an eye out on her when she showed up tired from an adventure she had been on.”
“I slipped and fell in this store by the restroom entrance, a few years ago. I got hurt really bad and was injured for awhile. I do not shop at this store anymore, but I still shop in their other stores. I like the items in the store and I dont mind the prices. Just because I fell, I still like Dollar General.”
“I usually pop in here at least once a Cedar Falls visit. This is the only place my sister buys milk and cream. But, there's so much more to browse through here: coffee from local roasters, homemade baked goods, cheeses, farm-raised meat, maple syrup, Iowa wine..... I was so surprised by the wine packs (like adult juice packs). Some were more than portable and included a lanyard. Fun place. Reserving five stars for when I try their ice cream.”
“Amazing ambiance. Happened to travel from New York and totally get upper east side vibes. Hope to visit Iowa again just so that I can visit My man ace :)))) <3/0”
“Pretty decent place too bad they got ran into by a car a few times crazy side of town I guess you know other than that they had almost anything you could need it was a little pricey but it's because of the convenience nothing bad to say really”
“The staff on the floor seem very inapproachable but once you make it to check out they are much warmer. Thankfully the space isn’t huge so you can usually find what your looking for without help.”
“I went couponing on a busy Saturday night, Devin helped me out at the register. Although it was busy he did not rush me and was very patient with all my coupons. One of the better dollar generals in my area, very satisfied with my trip!”
“Went for some quick grocery shopping. Service was great. Bought a case of water on sale that rang up as double the price. They quickly verified that it was wrong and adjusted the price plus a discount.”
“An amazing store, clean,organized,friendly employees. However if you need assistance finding something, good luck because first you have to find the person to help you which it took me 5 minutes and 2 employees to locate what it was I needed.”
“On Tuesday we were part of my mother in laws funeral procession on highway 34 in Southern Iowa. There is a distribution center not far from there. Every HyVee semi we met pulled over to the shoulder. The world needs more kindness like this. Thank you HyVee”

“Love this place and can't wait to come back when is more warm outside. My little guy of 2 years had the best time of his life petting the baby kangoroos and seen the baby cows. Everyone is very welcoming and nice. Thank you, if you can visit you should give it a try!”
