This used to be the grocer to go to. My kids could get a free piece of fruit while we shopped. I love the coupon book, though I wish you could somehow redeem them for delivery. The delivery is a longer wait than most. They had the good vegan options but now pretty much everyone does and they are just the most expensive, even with the specific coupon book.

I have mixed feelings about this store. I feel like it is trying hard to be a copy of Whole Foods, but failing miserably. The customer service is very distinctive between these 2 businesses.While this review isn't about Whole Foods, it would be wrong to consider the differences. When you ask for help, as I often do, the people at Whole Foods jump to attention and immediately assist in locating what you request. At Market District, they rarely help, shifting you to a different associate and passing the buck.I will admit that Market District has some unique features beyond the typical grocery. Their cheese section is very well done, and those employees are well informed. I feel like other parts of the store could benefit from the same attention to detail.The breads and bakery section seems to be a hit or miss proposition. You can find certain items there one day that are gone the next. It is as though they have no set pattern of baking and just make what they feel, so you could get good salt sticks one day and find none available the next day.The prepared foods can be a nightmare.I looked for a posted special and could only locate 2 of the necessary 5 items to complete their meal deal. I asked for help and waited while someone went to find someone else to answer my questions. When the right person finally arrived, they began pulling the meal deal special signs down.I'm not really interested in businesses that operate this way.If I'm in the area, I might stop in for some items. I will not go out of my way to shop here. There are far better and cheaper options available.In addition, Giant Eagle in general seems to enjoy playing bait and switch with customers. One card covers every one of their operations, but there is no cross promotions. You get different prices at GetGo, Giant Eagle, Giant Eagle Express and Giant Eagle Market District.They are all owned and operated under a single banner, but choose different pricing and specials for each location. Buyer beware.

Gobs, Gobs, Gobs! We visited to sample all flavors of gobs and the burnt almond torte they are known for. The bakery did not disappoint. Everything was so delicious. The only problem is now finding a place in Chicago (my home) that can fill my gob cravings!

I tried many treats during my visit to Prantl's Bakery. All of them weredelicious and fresh. I would recommend this bakery to anyone and the staff is very friendly. Burnt Almond Torte Cake is the best. Loved everything I tried. A+++++

Had bad customer service experience there. I know the prices are higher but to treat customers that way is a shame. Aldi, Walmart, Sam's Club are all better options.

I used to live in Pittsburgh but moved in 2007 . I love the almond torte of which the bakery is known for. I traveled to Pgh and had a craving for the torte. I went to purchase the torte and I received a pre packaged item . I was skeptical but continued with my purchase . I’m sure Prandl’s bakery is under new ownership but the torte was still good but could use improvement. I think I paid 40 dollars for an 8 by 8 prepackaged cake . The cake was moist and the almonds were very good . My disappointment was that the cake had a very thin layer of the icing . It used to have at least 1/4 inch of icing .

The apple strudel was cold as ice and was not very good regardless of the temperature. The service was not exactly warm either we felt unwelcome and the cashier just looked at us bored and irritated.

Giant Eagle discontinued weekly ad mailers!!!Other grocers did not. Currently I patronize the others based on their flyers.I like GE but sorry the store cheaped out in regards to weekly flyers.

My CPA accountant said it was the best cake she ever ate. It was for Christmas and after 10 years of treats, she just raved about this cake being the best. Guess what she gets next year.

This was our second time in Pittsburgh but one stop that was definitely on our list was a trip to Prantl’s. This is hands down the best burnt almond cake you will find. I have been looking forward to coming back since our last visit. Service was awesome. Cake was delicious. This is a must visit place for anyone visiting Pittsburgh.

Amazing bakery…yes get the almond cake even though you aren’t a huge almond fan. They have mini versions and it was sooo good. Should have ordered more than 2 minis. The elephant ears are huge! Size of a dinner plate. Also ordered empanadas which we are looking forward to, but haven’t eaten yet. Everything was well packed with easy, quick pick up. No long lines when you pre-order! Closed Sundays do plan accordingly!

In the past two weeks, on two separate shopping trips, we bought a rack of lamb and packaged pork tenderloins both having a sell by date of April 1st. We opened each to cook, well before the date, and both were bad. We returned the lamb for a refund and the store refunded us no problem. We don't have time to go back for the pork so that's on us but how does this happen? Is the meat being stored properly, is it older than it should be? Seriously concerned about buying meat from them again.

Stopped in here after eating at Pamela’s near it. Picked out 4 different items and it ended up being $15. Did not like the price, however, every item was delicious! We chose a gob, blueberry scone, and cinnamon rolls. We didn’t have everything the same day, but it all tasted great! I would come back again!
