The selection is always vibrant and seasonal, and you can really tell they take care in sourcing their goods. It’s such a pleasure to shop in an environment that feels this welcoming, and the friendly staff makes every visit even better.”
“One of the best places in Southern Maine!!! The staff is always wonderful and the food is incredible. Don’t skip the prepared meal section or the delicious sandwiches. The pasta is obviously the star of the show. My family has been going for years and we will continue to be huge fans!”
“It's Trader Joe's, need I say more. If you've shopped there you love it or hate it. If you have the opportunity I am on the side that loves it for some of the unique products and wine bargains. Give it a try!”
“Great store! These people do everything possible to make your visit rewarding. Great selection but most of all - great people! I don't pass through here very often, I'm from Connecticut. But I will stop here every single time I'm in this neck of the woods. Thanks again Peter, I really appreciate your help.”
“Nice little grocery store. I save on quite a few items making it worth the weekly stop. Almond milk, dairy free whipped cream, chickpeas, beans, creamer. fruits and veggies are hit or miss. The best crew. They are always kind.”
“Good solid good, produce, butcher, bakery, snacks, wine, berer and gift shop. Walking distance from hotels on Portsmouth Avenue, and downtown Exeter. A little pricey, but you'll find what you need here for a nice meal, birthday treat or snack.
If you are planning a roast for a holiday, or special occasion, order ahead! Also expect to pay a premium over your local grocery store or McKinnons.
In full transparency they once cut my Christmas rib roast not according to my request which although tasty, was disappointing.,(Prior to that, the cuts had always been to my soecifications). I was offered a credit from the manager, but when I went in to inquire about it twice,no one could help me and I was told the manager was unavailable. I haven't ordered my Christmas roast from them since. This is why I am giving them 4 stars, otherwise, I'd have given them a 5.”
“Our quadruple annual stop from CT to ME. I never accumulate gas points in CT, even though I am a daily shopper, but I love your gas prices.
PS- when I have gone into your store... I am amazed by how friendly your employees are.”
“Great little spot on 33 that has all the British classics. Mushy peas, real Heinz beans, PG tips tea... And so much more. There's even a British sweet treats room. Highly recommended.”
“Great shopping market. Expensive, but great selection of meats, poultry, produce and more!!!
Sunday I ran into this store to get a couple lemons and their price was good compared to other stores. So the prices and the other groceries are very competitive. Very nice associates there to help you!!”

“Whether you are food shopping or hungry for a bite, this is about as good as supermarkets get. The pre-made food is generally fresh and good. The selection is about what you'd expect, but always well stocked.
Obviously, this is a great location to stock up on meat. They have a lot of variety and seem to take it very seriously.
I, however, more often than not get the sushi, which is usually very good. Great beer selection too.”
“Best convenience store around. Been a customer over 2 decades. They have some really good deals and are cool enough to offer a public use community bulletin board. Employees provide good customer service. I enjoy it's old timey, community orientated feel.”
“We used to buy loose cigarettes back in 92,93, 94,95 for 10 cents for a newport! Those were the good old days so we thought now we just find out that everything was just hidden and now it's being exposed! so really was it the good old days?! The Cabot Street market still makes me feel like it was!”
“All ways great sales shelfs all ways stocked an now dont here people yelling at each other playing Mexican music like play ground sence ice raider it much better quiet an can move around with out getting bummed”
“Love this Commissary and the employees are incredibly friendly, and helpful! Its like shopping with the charm of a small town store, with the Commissary benefits that we all know in the military community! The selection is great, and they have lots of specialty overseas items, and great prices! We save on average $100 a trip compared to all local groceries.”

“I am quite happy with the bakery here and use them to cater many events, the staff in the bakery are always friendly and help me figure out what I need no matter the size of what I am hosting. I find the veggies to be miss quite often in the produce section, but I do like the assortment of ethnic food choices and am always able to find something new to try at home. They do usually have a great ice cream selection.”
“Why give a grocery store five stars?
Because they carry local/regional cheese. Coming from out of town for a week to work, being able to find local cheese and enjoy it during the week was perfect.”
“Hannafords pharmacy is so helpful and quick! They helped with medication transfer and all in 5 minutes. Before that I've called Walgreens for 3 days for the same medicine and they kept deferring it and saying it's ordered when it was not.”
“Rolling in along the endless parade of oceanfront immobilier de luxe, one dreams of a refined café, a civilized croissant. Instead, one discovers the Sandpiper: the lone outpost of refreshment in this desert for the cyclist’s soul. Cars crowd the roadside, doors swing open without a thought to the passing vélo — the Dutch Reach is a complete unknown here. Yet hunger dictates, and we dismount.
There is no rack, no intention toward the two-wheeled traveler. My bike leaned lonely, a rare species among the surfboards and sandy e-motos. Service is brisk enough, but clearly attuned to sunburnt beachgoers rather than the Lycra-clad. For the cyclist, it is stopgap fuel rather than a true enclave.
Here reigns the culture of surf: shirtless riders of foam boards, salty hair, languid conversation. It is not unwelcoming, merely indifferent. One observes the beach scene with a detached amusement, sipping from a sweating plastic cup, knowing this is not our civilisation, but theirs.
No espresso, no crema, no ceramic. Instead: a cold brew, decent enough, taken as necessity rather than joy. It refreshes, yes, but it does not inspire. This is hydration, not poetry.
Plenty on offer for the famished, but little of the pâtisserie one might crave. Sandwiches, bagels, smoothies—the practical provisions of surfers, not the buttery décadence that carries a rider through another twenty miles.
Not a cyclist’s café, but a seaside pause. One accepts the plastic cup, the salt air, the people-watching. And while it lacks panache, it is the only flame in this desert stretch of coastline. For that, it earns a respectful nod before one clips back in.

“This is a solid choice for everyday grocery shopping, especially if you’re looking for decent prices and a good selection. They usually have what I need, and the deli, produce, and prepared food sections are pretty convenient. The staff is generally helpful, and checkout is usually not too bad considering how busy the store gets. That said, the store can feel cramped and a little dated compared to some newer grocery stores. A few aisles get crowded quickly, and the parking lot can be frustrating.”
“I just moved to NH and stuck in hotel for a month until house is ready we hacmve a very small kitchen in our hotel room so we can cook and prices are good meat a little more expensive and the don't have a card to earn points like other National chains do. The produce you have to really look at. Like fresh Broccoli should be ice on it to keep it firm and not rubbery. I noticed they have Shawn's also here. I used to shop at Shawn's over 20 years ago when we lived in RI. I will go to both stores to save money”
“our favorite stop in town. Always reliable, gas, moes subs. carries my favorite Guayaki Yerba mate teas. Great selection of beer as-well. Always friendly, 5 stars!”
“Most of the staff are younger kids bur i will say how polite and respectful and friendly. I was amazed on how well they are.
They are more than helpful. They help you with your grocery in your autos.
The produce have changed in years. I think they have a much better selection now than 10 years ago.
The atmosphere was very good. The staff up front is very friendly and polite.
There prices are pretty average.
The store is very clean . They keep it clean. Even when it not so nice outside.”
“This is a small store but packed with a huge number of Indian spices and other international goods. This store is an example of great things that come from a growing immigrant population in the area.
If you make your own Indian meals, you'll find everything you need here to make it authentic.
A great little store with very reasonable prices.”
“Shaw's is a go-to for fresh, affordable grocery shopping.
The produce is consistently crisp and vibrant, and the deli, meat, and seafood departments stand out for their freshness and quality.
Deals are where this place really shines—digital coupons unlock some fantastic savings, and the pharmacy adds extra value with vaccines, COVID-19 shots, and even up to 20% off groceries when you transfer prescriptions.
Clean, well-stocked, and packed with ways to save—it’s the kind of store that makes your cart feel a little smarter every trip.”
