“Always a fun shopping experience and great prices. If you're not in a mad rush, engage the checkout folks in a conversation. They're invariably friendly and talkative.”
“Karina and Arielle were really great. I’ve been to this Trader Joes location quite often and i’m upset I haven't met them sooner! They made me less anxious when picking flowers for my girlfriend. I can’t wait to come back!!
Attached is the bouquet!! So beautiful. Shoutout Karina and Arielle!”
“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.”

“Great place to shop for food. Seating available for guests. Parking lot is big. Wide selection of cheese, meats. Very good quality. Aisles are well planned and well maintained.”
“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 !”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“My favorite Food Lion location. The staff is always nice and helpful and if I dont find what I need, I'm always able to find something that is close enough.”

“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.”
“This is the best international grocery store I have ever been, first they have everything. 2nd their price are very great. Excellent customer service. Good product. Whatever you can't find in other stores, you'll surely get it at Abart Foods store. And they ship all over US, Canada and UK. It's a place to visit.”
“Love this Whole Foods. It's clean, has delicious produce and always has what I'm looking for. I also like that's it's in a shopping center with restaurants and also has a nice out door eating area.”
“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!”
“This little Food Lion in downtown Laurel is great! Clean, had everything I needed, and the staff was super friendly: it seemed liked they cared about their job and being nice to customers. Y'all keep doing what you're doing (Santa is taking notes!)”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 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 ;)”
“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.”
“I’m usually in and out but they regularly have what I need. Never had an issue with employees here! One tip would be getting a self check out or hire more clerks to make the experience smoother. The latter would be the better move so folks keep jobs.”

“I love Aldi! The store is wide and clean, the prices are cheaper than any store, the quality of products are good. Ever since I went to Aldi, I stopped going to Giant.”
“Solid shopping carts!
Good bearings with zero chatter really help when I lean my considerable bulk on the handle and hurriedly limp my way up and down the clean, amply stocked aisles hoping against hope to find an overlooked chocolate bunny rabbit.
Alas.
Maybe next visit.
Otherwise the place is great!”
“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 place to shop for your groceries. This store has a large selection of a variety of foods. The store managers, staff are respectful, courtesy and very helpful.”
