“?????
I love shopping at Trader Joe’s! The service is always amazing — super friendly and helpful staff. Everything is well-organized and very clean. It’s such a pleasant shopping experience every time!”
“We chanced upon this store while visiting someone in the area. It was Sunday just before lunch but this store was hopping busy. We were lucky to find a parking spot because there were a number of cars coming into the lot. It is a small store compared to the ones in Houston but it is every bit as good. They had a large variety of items. We were looking for flowers and a small cake. They had a good selection of fresh flowers. We were looking for a small cake for someone’s birthday. They didn’t have any so we bought a Banana Walnut bread which was yummy according to the recipient. This was a quick stop for us but it gave us a good glimpse of the store. We interacted with a couple of employees who were very helpful and cordial.”

“I've basically grown up in Wegmans so this one was really interesting for me, The fact they sell 0.5% abv drinks without carding is wild to me.
But even wilder is that they sell alcohol on the top level, I'm not used to that but it's pretty cool.”
“Amazingly friendly and helpful staff always going above and beyond for customers! I’ve come to this location for quite a while and have never been disappointed with their selection, produce quality, and staff.”

“Very friendly staff, affordable prices. Just bought a bag of rice for $65.99 that used to buy it from Walmart for $90+. Very clean and organized. It was my first time there and I m so glad I found out about this place.”
“I am fortunate to live within 10 minutes of the Roots grocery store. When I transitioned to a vegan lifestyle in 2017, Root was my saving grace! It has become my primary grocery store since then. Just walking into the store makes me happy because I know there are so many options for me. They also keep up on all of the most recent vegan food options, allowing me to try and experiment with new products. Yes, it is on the expensive side, but I will always support them as an independent grocery store. I’d rather pay more for quality vegan and organic food any day over the mass produced food you find in traditional grocery stores.  Updated from previous review on 2026-02-15”
“Ugh! I don’t typically post bad reviews but when shopping this location please make sure all your items are in your bag. I regularly go to this location because it’s the closest. I went for soup and I purchased a few other items. I travel to get this location at least 20 mins and to get home and realize the one thing I went to get was not in my bag is not good. I called and the manager was less than empathetic given I drove such a long way only to told that they would refund the cost of the soup. For such an oversight I should be compensated for the time and effort.
So buyer beware check and make sure your items are in the bag. These cashiers are distracted by their phones. It’s so disappointing!
I have amended this review because the store manager called and offered to bring me the soup? now that is customer service…again it’s my market of choice !”

“My first visit to this location it was pretty busy on a Saturday and afternoon parking was tight. The hot foods dining area was pretty small. They seem to offer like eight different types of soup. They had some premade dishes and dishes available. I picked up a couple onigiri, marinated eggs, seaweed salad, and some pickled ginger.
Tons of options of miso and kimchi, noodles, dumplings, ramen, galore. I picked up a few kinds of kelp, some wakeme and some kombu.
All of the fresh fruits and vegetables were really impressive. They had tons of different types of mushrooms and it was pretty cool to see some variety packs available.
Lots of fresh durian, even small already cut and prepped.
The meat and seafood areas were impressive as well.”

“Great selection of olives, feta, pita, and many middle eastern and Mediterranean spices and spreads. The owner and staff are always helpful and friendly. Best stop on Main Street.”
“I just found this store and it has quickly become my favorite. Clean, friendly staff, excellent selection, great pricing. All the things I want in a grocery store.”
“My wife of 15 years being from Thailand needs products from her region sometimes not necessarily from Thailand. We have been customers for years after Thai Market closed in downtown Silver Spring. Always friendly and generally have the spices and condiments she likes to maintain.”
“This location seems to offer a good balance between location, ambiance and service. Parking was plentiful, employees were pleasant and helpful, inventory was clean and fresh. I went there to use the Amazon return desk and ended up staying to enjoy the totally wonderful eclectic marketplace.”
“We’ve loved Boarman’s for years. It is THE place to get fresh eggs, fresh meats, custom cuts, delicious pre-mades, special orders, and all kinds cool stuff you can’t find elsewhere. The staff is ALWAYS helpful and gracious. I’m especially grateful for them recently as my son has become obsessed with grinding his own meat. Every week he asks for custom cuts off the bone and every week they do this extra work uncomplainingly. Boarman’s is the best. 10 stars.”
“Lunch buffet was fantastic! Meat dishes only for weekday lunch. Was told they have vegetarian options on the weekend. Little grocery store opens up in to a huge warehouse with a comfortable place to sit and escape the office. Hidden gem for sure!”
“Only place in the area I've been able to find tamarind sauce (specifically sauce, not chutney)! Wish I'd checked here before ordering some from the UK. Helpful and polite staff. Small store but good selection, especially of spices and dried fruits. I wasn't buying meat so I can't comment on that.”
“This Whole Foods upholds its reputation of being clean, with great produce, and friendly service. Plenty of parking in the garage. Some products I don't see at other Whole Foods locations is a plus.
Still some things I didn't find. I was looking for Injera chips, fresh spearmint, and a bunch of beets. None of this was available which was disappointing since I usually pick those items up at the Riverdale, MD location. Nonetheless, I found everything else and enjoyed my trip overall.”
“Still my favorite supermarket. Some prices are high, but I find good bargains, excellent sushi, great Monday pizza deal (I buy a pie and freeze the slices), fresh produce and exceptional sushi that you can grab and go. Also check out the $5 shrimp deal.
Staff is very helpful, I always feel welcome shopping there.”

“I think this is the only place in US where you can get out with basic groceries in hand (milk, bread, some veggies) with bill under 10$. I appreciate the Aldi store chain for that. ?
And, they have pretty much everything you need for daily use.
On the otherhand, I dont mind paying 25 cents for cart but who keeps the coins with them in this mostly cashless Economy.”
“It is one of the best stores in the area because they have many items from my country and all countries, very fresh fruits, vegetables and meat and the prices are considerable.”
“Inside of the Brazilian supermarket is a little cafe where you can buy pastries both salty and sweet as well as coffee and other drinks!
We asked for the pastel de queso and it was DELICIOUS!”
“I used to love this place, but the prices are through the roof. Still, some items are cheaper than buying on Amazon. It still provides dairy products that are NOT offered anywhere else, and is a cut above other health food stores. But too many times the items I go there to get are sold out. We rely on it for dairy. Has lots of pasture raised products. Two bags of groceries can easily run $200.”
“This is my go-to grocery store! The produce is always fresh and the prices are incredibly affordable. I love the variety of cheeses and bakery items they offer. The store is well-organized, making it easy to find everything on my list. Highly recommend for high-quality items at a great value !”
“Great small store. Store owner recognized me today after three years. Amazing. Used to shop here before covid. Will be coming back. Good to support local store owners.”
“The meat here is very fresh and affordable. Very polite staff here. And a very wide choice for (desi) supplies. They got almost everything from Asia. I would recommend this store for people who love freshness and quality! From now on i’m a regular costumer here.”
“The best Brazilian market in the DMC area. There's a variety of products and the prices are incredible! You also can find delicious salgados such as coxinhas, pão de queijo, pastel etc to eat in the store and have a break before going home.If you're Brazilian, you're gonna love it and kill some of the saudade from home.If you're not Brazilian but are curious about our food, I definitely recommend going to By Brazil and try some of the salgados on the counter ;)”
