“I have always felt like I am home in here. From freshly cut halal meat section to grocery area and especially stockings people are very nice and helpful. You will definitely find what you need here. Strongly recommended place. Store manager is great when it comes to customer care. She is always above and beyond.”
“I had a lunch planned with guests on short notice. I contacted the bakery, Lynda Walsh on short notice to get some fresh rolls. She took my call, confirmed availability, put then in the oven and I arrived about an hour later to perfectly fresh rolls for my guests to make sandwiches! She saved the day! Good worker and someone asked where I got the rolls? Peggy”
“A beautiful makeover of the beloved but tired original store. Now bright, spacious well-stocked aisles. A larger fresh produce section and inviting deli and prepared foods. Same long hours, a great evolution of a Waban mainstay.”
“Such a friendly and nice place! The prices are great, and there’s an amazing variety of international foods to choose from. I always enjoy shopping here and highly recommend it.”
“I use their delivery service for a family member frequently.. the shopper's communication is perfect and accuracy is 90%! I rely on them and they always come through.. thank you!!”
“This looks and feels like a proper Eastern European grocery store. Few items have English-language labels, but you can easily find most anything and staff is exceedingly helpful.They make sandwiches in the back: here is the "Polish Combo" which resembles an Italian grinder but with four hams (one smoked) and three cheeses. It's NOT 'fast food', but you can order sandwiches then browse and shop casually.Great hours, too.”
“The only place I go for my meat when I’m in Boston, I have never had a problem with their meet quick service, my only problem is parking can be a problem especially the weekends.”
“Walking into this grocery store is like stepping into a well-organized haven of freshness, variety, and friendliness. Whether you’re doing a quick midweek run or a full stock-up for the family, this store makes the experience easy and even enjoyable. The layout is clean and intuitive, with clear signage that helps you find everything from fresh produce to international spices without any confusion. One of the highlights is the produce section — vibrant fruits, crisp greens, and vegetables that actually look and feel fresh. It’s clear that the store prioritizes quality over quantity, and the turnover seems fast, which means nothing sits on the shelf too long. The meat and dairy sections are equally well-maintained, with clearly labeled expiration dates and helpful staff ready to assist if you need a special cut or recommendation. What really makes this store stand out is the diverse selection. You’ll find everything from pantry staples to niche products you usually only see in specialty shops. Whether it’s organic, gluten-free, international ingredients, or local brands, there’s something for every lifestyle and dietary need. The staff is exceptionally courteous and knowledgeable. Even when it’s busy, there’s a sense of calm and efficiency that makes checkout smooth. They’re happy to answer questions, help you find items, or even suggest cooking ideas. Prices are competitive, and they frequently run promotions or offer loyalty discounts, which is a nice bonus for regular shoppers. In short, this grocery store is more than just a place to shop — it’s a reliable, welcoming part of the community. You walk out with more than just bags of food; you leave feeling satisfied, supported, and confident in the quality of your purchases. A truly refreshing shopping experience from start to finish!”
“It an Eastern European (Russian, Ukrainian, Polish...) food store with a wide variety of groceries, meats, dairy, bakery, breads, vines and spirits...It is relatively expensive. There is a similar store in Cambridge Street in Brookline, and I like it more.”
“Charlie the pharmacist, who performed my recent Phizer injection, was excellent. wonderful, laid-back personality. I wish to attract more like-minded individuals to my business. I firmly advise you to visit the Foxboro location; it will brighten your day and give you peace of mind that he will fill your prescription expertly.”
“Good market place with everything fresh vegetables, chicken, meat, fish, a lot of variety of groceries, good service, the only thing you have to buy is the bags or you can bring to save.”
“Very cute and friendly neighborhood market. I like all the unique items you can find in there as well as regular items. The onions aren't always good but other produce is.”
“Normally I go to the self-service station, but today I went straight to the checkout because there was no line. The young woman who helped me was very friendly—I think her name was A’NYI F. The place is always clean and very well organized!”
“I found my favorite childhood snack at El Platanero, so this deserves a 5 star review. Staff was super helpful when we asked for specific information, and whenever we encountered staff members they greeted us. We found a lot of Dominican products we miss from home. Some prices are higher than other grocery stores, but we will definitely be back for specific household items. Try not to need to use restroom while here, restrooms don’t lock, your privacy will rely on a sign on door asking to knock before entering.”
“Friendly service when I went in. Although there was a bit of a language barrier i was still able to get what I wanted. A bit upset they didnt have the beef jerky i was looking for but the sandwiches came out to be really good so it was worth the first time visit for me. Will most likely be going be again for the sandwiches”
“I especially appreciate the customer service in this store. The cashiers are valuable reassuring necessary assets that sets Roche Bros apart from their competitors. Bravo ? ? ? ? ? ?”

“Not thrilled about how far you got to park from the entrance when returning your cart. But all in all this is my favorite ALDI the selections are great, produce are fresh, store is always clean and staff are friendly fast and efficient.”
“Liquor. Lottery. Newports. They left off two words from the name. Liquor Store. It's, or it should be, Blue Hill Superette Liquor Store. What the heck is a "superette" anyway? The superette is located on prime retail space, too- between Breezeway Bar & Grill and Packy's. Doesn't get much better than that in Boston, I tell ya. So, the spot is BIG, well-lit, clean, and has a more than adequate selection of all the spirits the neighborhood clientele prefers . It even has an ok wine selection, which is really surprising (go 'head, Blue Hill Superette!). The first language of the employees/owner is Spanish, but no worries, they know English, too. Oh, the place is also a little convenience store, too- various corner store items available. The shelves are a little dusty, and I wouldn't buy anything other than liquor here for fear of the expiration date, because again- it's a neighborhood (big) liquor store. That's what you come here for- liquor, lottery, and Newports (if you smoke).”
“Happy market have some of the best deals on food and some of the best authentic urban food. You can buy stop by and try some of the empanadas and fried pork is delicious.”
“There's nothing I need that I don't find there. If your feeling nostalgic about having a taste from your childhood back home (motherland) that's the place to go. From snacks, drinks to all the ingredients to make that soul home meal! Even the smell is enough to treat that homesick symptoms. ???”
“I didn't even know about this place, my girlfriend asked me to help her out with a ride for groceries & this is where we went. Great prices, helpful employees, everything you need, they've got it here!”
“My Favorite store, we may nah be related but we treat dem like we a familay (FAMILY) ANY FRUM DA CARIBBEAN DUN KNO HOW WE A TALK. When feel disrespected upon disrespect will be right back 2 you. This a good store with good a position All time MY FAMILY FROM ANOTHER FAMILYN”
“I go to this store at least once a day. The employees are very helpful. If they don’t have something you need they will let you know when it will be in. I would definitely recommend going here.”
“I was looking for some corn dog there wasn't any in stock so I asks about five of the employees no one can help me because of a language barrier aside that everything else was great.”
“This market really changed since bought by new owners. For a neighborhood store, you can’t beat it. It’s so nice and clean, they always have everything I need, even things I wouldn’t expect them to have! Great place. I live next door so who can complain. ?”
“There cooked food was delicious. Got the ribs with rice and beans, slice of avocado and fried plantains. Meat tasted seasoned with herbs not just MSG/Sazon. Would definitely return.”
