“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.”
“This is the place I was looking for the whole time!! They have everything, the store manager was incredibly kind. She even offered us Turkish coffee! I will definitely come back ❤️”
“The best and the biggest selection of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean products, and smoke shop products. the store is very clean and organize. The employees are pleasure , very polite and knowledgable to speak and extremely professional, the prices are very low compare to other stores around even cheaper than online. The smell of the store is good and very fresh. The floor is very clean and shiny! 100 out of 100!!!!!”

“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.”
“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 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.”
“Not sure why it’s called Farmers Market, but great grocery store! Solid prices for how fresh and healthy everything is. We get their pre-prepared meals all the time when in a rush. It’s also super convenient and the staff is always friendly. Keep it up Sprouts.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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 !”
“Every time I come here they are always helpful. The lines are usually not long and they are polite and will speak with you. Not like other stores where the staff can be rude. I really enjoy shopping here.”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“Clean and well organized
Reasonable prices
Kind of off the main drag, but still conveniently located.
Checkout process was a bit slow, but not terrible.
Minus 1 star because there was a sale listed on the price tag that didn't show up at the register (seemed like it was an expired offer that hadn't been removed).”
“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 ;)”

“Prices are great.
The fresh produce is excellent.
Lots if cheese options.
Could have better brands of cottage cheese.
The parking (getting in and out) is a challenge.”
“The truth is that the times I have been here have gone well. The guy seems a little unfriendly. I felt like he was discriminating against me. Be careful because this area is BEVERLY. I've definitely noticed it. It's a matter of surviving until we find something better and like any place to look everywhere!!!!! Well, in the end they did help us. They were kind. I just felt that they were not friendly at the beginning.”
“Was so hungry, walked into the deli and the deli person made me the best turkey cheese sub I've had in a while, with all the fixings olive oil and vinegar, downed it with a cold Pepsi. Gonna go back”

“I love this RoFo. I’m literally there at least once per day to grab coffee, snacks, etc. The staff are great, especially the manager, Nikki. She’s lovely to all of the customers, especially the regulars (of which there are many).”
“This is a great place, that often has really good sales. The customer service is also top notch from my experience. A while ago, a staff member named Elijah was kind enough to alert me that a package being scanned was open. If he hadn't told me, my grocery bags would have likely been a mess. I was very grateful, and plan to continue visiting the store often.”
“Versatile.
I needed to eat ice. I was hot & craving ice. A staff aided me with it.
Their prices were shocking pricier than I'm used too.”
“The place is beautiful, clean, organized, friendly and so much inventory. Everyone needs to see it if you are from the Middle East. Mashallah, the place is beautiful and the nights are beautiful. I bought coffee for half the price from Amazon. . Everyone must support the place”
“I love the people who work here at Giant Food they're so friendly I always have the best experience in their only thing is they don't have a humongous selection like some of the other stores but the atmosphere and the cleanliness is very important to me and it's awesome”
“❌Don’t buy drinks in Starbucks in this Giant… they don’t know how to make drinks…for 100% every time, I got my drinks wrong… I have tasted strawberry(pink drink) in my mocha frappe.. PLUS..Giant is fantastic in this location…”
“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.”
