Star Market is a neighborhood grocery store located at 699 Mt Auburn St in Cambridge, MA. It offers a convenient and friendly experience with services like Grocery Delivery, DriveUp & Go™, and Order Ahead pick-up. The store features a bakery with customizable cakes and cupcakes, a deli with party trays and made-to-order items like fresh sliced ham and cheese, and a butcher block with an assortment of meat and seafood, including fresh sushi. The produce department has fresh fruits and veggies, including cut fruit by the box. Reviews note the store is well-stocked, clean, and well-kept overall, with decent sales. However, some customers report issues. The hot food attendants have been observed ignoring customers, requiring yelling to get service. The store can feel overcrowded with dim lighting, a bad smell, and a perception of being dirty. Prices are seen as higher than some competitors. Specific complaints include finding moldy bread like Hawaiian rolls and problems with bottle return. The machines are often full with no way to get help, and staff can appear grouchy. Despite this, it remains a convenient location for groceries.
I went to get some flowers for my mother-in-law and most of them were withered and old, plus they charge for putting a paper on them.

Only OK is you need something in a pinch. The other Star a bit further down Trapelo/Belmont Street in Cambridge is much better (right across Mt Auburn Street from the cemetary).

There's actually some decent sales on a sunday evening for my late run at 9.30pm... Fresh sushi, cut fruit by the box rather than weight. Kombucha is a bit expensive.
