“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.”
“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!!”
“First time being here. Gotta say the experience was well. Remains me of a tiny Roche brothers or a small market. Easy entrance good parking the MBTA is just a minute away from the market.”
“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!”
“Extremely reliable butcher shop, we've gotten pork belly, picanha, and beef they ground right in front of us. Good prices for the quality.
The market has a big variety of products for such a tiny space. Come early while the 'cheesebread' and bread are most fresh.”
“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.”
“So glad to have this place in the neighborhood! Has a lot of basic groceries (milk, eggs, cereal, etc) and then a ton of unique pantry items and prepared meals / desserts. So fun to walk around in!”
“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.”

“Great grocery store! Food is fresh, displayed well, prices clear, and staff above excellent. I'm instantly hungry when I see their compelling food varieties. A shout out to the bakery, deli counter, and sushi chef! Always a pleasant experience.”
“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!”
“Excellent Brazilian grocery store. Find specialty Brazilian goods as well as produce, and high quality meats and fresh baked goods. A gem of the whole metro area and a cornerstone of the local community.”
“First time shopping at Donelan’s the other day and I was really impressed. Everyone was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in, and the prepared foods were excellent. You can tell they care about quality and customer service. So glad I stopped in — definitely coming back.”
“Had to find some ingredients that I couldn't find at Wegmans or Star Market, ended up getting a few cheeses, spices, dried chilis and tortillas. The guy behind the register helped me out. Highly recommend!”
“Good produce section, with local and organic produce. Decent beer and wine section and take out meals. Otherwise, a normal, small grocery store. It's about three times bigger than the Brothers Marketplace in Weston, but still only for locals - prices are not low, but not exorbitant either. I go there when I don't want to drive far and need something that I can't buy at Brothers.”
“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. ???”
“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. ?”
“Getting better store.. people should visit more ..so u don’t get to see expired products if the products run more..they are improving with price tags and welcoming part..”
“It's a Russian led store, with Russian employees, and mostly Russian customers. The Russian/Slavic goods are authentic, they have wonderful homemade bread, and overall it's a great store. Americans coming here think that the service is rude, and that may be fair by American standards, but in reality the issue is the culture clash.”

“This stop & shop is not our 1st choice of there to shop. We go to the woburn store. But the Stoneham one has the gas station which is always nice to use your points at gas station”
“Good amount of gluten free foods
They are clearly marked and separated. Easy in and out, decent prices. All About the Base pizza base is a little more expensive than I'm used to.”
“Aside from me standing infront of the restroom and being told no public bathroom in the establishment as a construction worker who works on sites sometime where there is no restroom sucked and that alone took one star away but will credit this place for the homecooked inexpensive meals tha churasco plate is a mush have.”
