“The food prices at Giant food continue to rise. When there are sales on food and you get to the register . It rings up a higher price for the food. You must constantly monitor Giants charging and cash register practices . Lots of
do not get the sale price at all.”
“I ordered online on the night of Dec 25; they shipped morning Dec 26. Packaging was excellent! Got it Dec 30, right thru the holidays. Faster than Amazon AND found something that Amazon was selling way more expensive (juice from Europe). I am happy to have found this little known store. Will buy again.”
“There are only a few shops in the DMV that offer a diverse array of European products, baked goods, delicious meats, and quality service from knowledge staff; European Delight has them all. Every visit, we discover something new worth bringing home. I highly recommend them!”
“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.”
“First time there, Raymond from the wine section was tremendously helpful, i had a ton of stuff to bring to the car and he went out of his way to help me out. Much appreciated.”

“The staff are this location is REALLY friendly and helpful. Typically, when the weather is nice, I go to the Sunday Bethesda Farmer's Market first and then walk 5 minutes to The Organic Butcher. Weekends, of course, are busier, but the wait is never long, and it's nice to look at all the specialty products.
If you're into hot sauce, they make in-house a really nice fermented hot sauce - follow them on social media so you know when the next batch drops.”
“Gourmet, organic, unusual and delicious food. Beer and wine, too. This is a gem in our neighborhood. Pro tip: try cultured, salted butter, but beware, you may never want normal butter again. The hot food bar and salad bar are great but the cold sandwiches and premade salads are amazing, too. Lunch, groceries, fine cheese for a party, a quick hot meal, excellent breads, are all at Roots. Also all the expected grocery items and health products. Yes I am a big fan.”
“Very good quality neighborhood grocery store. There are very good quality products there. It also offers products from other continents.
Recommended even a year after my first visit.”
“I absolutely *love* this market in Bethesda! It’s a true hidden gem, offering an incredibly authentic Mediterranean shopping experience with *everything* you could possibly need. From fresh groceries to specialty imported goods, this place has it all—and at prices that are **more than reasonable**!
One of the best things about this market is its **unique selection**. I was thrilled to find **specialty chocolates and desserts** that I had been searching for everywhere else with no luck. The fact that they carry such rare and delicious treats makes this place a must-visit for anyone who appreciates Mediterranean flavors.
Another huge plus? **Convenient street parking** makes it easy to stop by, whether you're grabbing groceries or picking up some amazing prepared foods to enjoy at home.
Honestly, shopping here feels like stepping into a bustling European market—warm, welcoming, and full of incredible finds. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! **Highly, HIGHLY recommend!** ?”
“So this is my first ever Trader Joe's experience this year. ? All thanks to my UMD classmates. This is the only location I've been to. There is validated parking, the store looks clean, sometimes a little crowded, but it's at College Park so I'm not surprised. These kids need to eat. The prices are fair. The variety of foods is what I love. Lots of International type foods such as a variety of Asian delicacies. Their frozen food definitely surprised me. The ones I picked were amazing. Being a Grad student, working full-time, having a internship, full-time parent of a teenager, yes all of this is why Trader Joe's have gotten 1 more new customer. ? Made my life a little easier in times of chaos. The wings and the Thai red curry are my favs so far.”
“We usually go to the store for international grocery items, but had never had takeout from them before. Today we tried their takeout and it was amazing. The quality and quantity of the Koobideh and stews are great, amazing value! They also really know what they’re doing and package the food professionally to minimize spillage. The entrees come with sides such as yogurt and pickles that elevate the food. They also have variety of Tahdig (crispy rice) options and are very generous with those :) Overall I cannot recommend this place highly enough!”
“The jumbo shrimp $8.99/lb deal is such a treat! And the shell-on is great, because you can make a court bullion shell stock and poach them in it, like I did. A dab of spicy cocktail sauce ?Delicious. The Jailbreak IPA deal made it perfect”
“I only come here once in a while since they’re overpriced. People here are really helpful and friendly though really slow. They have stuff like vegan milk, vegan cheese, vegan ice cream, and vegan burgers. They have some interesting stuff like vegan fish or shrimp although I never tried them since they are quite expensive.”
“I like trader Joe's. I'll keep shopping there the employees were very friendly. They told me if I didn't like something like return it, that was cool.”
“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.”

“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.”

“Stopped in to purchase ground beef and was pleased with the selection of other offerings from overseas. Special thanks for the staff carrying my case of Vimto to my car!”
“The produce section only looks small. Almost always can get everything I need in one grocery run. Also prices are more than competitive with national brands sometimes being lower cost at MOM's”
“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 !”
“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.”
“Smaller than many other TJ's so the inventory choices are less. However, the prices are so much lower than ALL the other grocery stores. Love their GF bagels and breads.”
“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.”
“Awesome neighborhood corner store. I grew up in the area and have been impressed with how the store has grown over the years. It really has become a part of the community.”
“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.”
“It's a nice place. Personal is very friendly, great variety of products, good prices, and the best: pet friendly. If you are walking your dog and you need to buy a couple things, is the only grocery store that I know, pet friendly.”
“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.”
“Good service and absolutely delicious food for reasonable prices. I especially recommend the orange candy, which is better and far cheaper than the stuff you get at Trader Joes.”
“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 was always a loyal customer in that place but there was a person with dark skin who was racist and said he was security, humiliated me by saying that I had opened some products that were already like that, I just took them and put them in again, that person forced me to bring them. the product was damaged, accusing me that I had broken it, I swore I would never return to that place again and I do not recommend it to anyone, there is another person who told me the same thing that he wanted to do with her... terrible place, they treated me very badly as a criminal and unfairly”
“This is a standard size Giant Food store. It has one main store entrance. The other entrance is closed off on the outside & is an emergency exit only. Here you have all the variety you need for a successful grocery shopping trip. The produce is fresh. I bought a two pound of bag of mandarin oranges on sale recently. In general, the prices are quite competitive, but I was very thrilled to to see double Stuffed Oreo cookies on sale for BOGO the next week. This was an offer I could not pass up. Two packages for $7. Customer service has been good especially at the self-checkout stations. This is impressive! Parking is easy and plentiful in the shopping center lot. My only complaint is that a lot of the coupons require a $25 purchase. Until next time be kind to each other. @yelpdc #giantfood #oreocookies”
