“Aldi’s is my go to grocery spot! It’s super affordable and I love how it’s not too big so it doesn’t feel like a chore to go down a million aisles or walk a mile to get to a certain section. I always know I can do a quick in and out run if need be. The only thing I don’t like is that it is lacking in a lot of ethnic foods and just general that I love to eat like turkey bacon, collard greens, grits, and more. Otherwise, it has amazing options and you just cannot beat the price!! I volunteer to bake lasagnas through LasagnaLove for people in need and love a good deal for it.”
“Great supply place if your having or putting on a large party or a large gathering of any kind Gordon's is the place to get what you need. They remodeled since we were here last and it looks great.”
“I'm so impressed by the food pantry and employees here. I've used it a couple times, and they are organized and friendly. They have options for pre-made meals, pantry items and fresh produce. It's a great resource for the community when people are struggling.”
“if you live on langdon, and don’t stop by and see these guys once in a while, you’re missing out. the staff is absolutely amazing (always super friendly) and the sandwiches made to order are perfect as well. open till midnight too for any late night needs!
Parking: No parking in the alleyway, you could get towed. Find a street spot if you can, but this place is really for walkers mostly
Wheelchair accessibility: Non wheel chair accessible, but if you call i’d bet they’d run the order up to you”
“Woodman’s Food Market offers a wide variety of products, making it a great place for grocery shopping. The fruits and vegetables section stands out, as it is cheaper and has a larger collection compared to other stores. However, the egg selection is limited and slightly more expensive than other places.
One downside is that there is no dedicated halal meat section, and the fish selection is also limited. Despite this, the store’s huge space makes shopping enjoyable, as you never feel cramped or rushed.
The store operates 24/7, but after 9 or 10 PM, only self-checkout counters are available, with minimal staff present to assist. So, if you prefer staffed checkout, it’s best to visit earlier. During the daytime, the store is quite busy, making shopping a bit challenging due to the number of carts in motion. However, evening hours are much quieter and more comfortable for shopping.
There is ample parking space, which is a plus. One minor issue is that the app’s product recommendations don’t always match what’s available on the shelves.
Overall, Woodman’s is a great choice for fresh produce at reasonable prices, but if you’re looking for halal meat or a wide fish selection, you might need to look elsewhere.”
“Best prices around on the West side of Madison. The only price competition in my driving world is Costco in Middleton. Sometimes the pumps are so busy that customers are lined up trying to guess which one will open first, but that wait is worth it.
Discover cards are the only charge cards accepted. Debit cards are accepted.”

“Can get most of what we need here for better prices than most other places. Can't get everything we need but a vast majority and the products are good quality. Aldis has come a long way from where it was 30 years ago.”
“Very nice grocery store that focuses on local brands, regional food, organics and some bulk options for ingredients. Good wheelchair access and large aisles. Bathrooms are located immediately to the right at the far end after entering the store. Can be difficult to get parking in the parking lot, highly recommended you find parking in the residential blocks behind the store.
(Don't tell anyone, but I think this place secretly hosts a branch of the Galactic Empire.)”
“I just finished eating a steak taco & a pastor taco. I’m regretting that I didn’t order more. I’m definitely going to eat here again! 100% awesome! (Bring cash to save a little money. They add a 3.5% fee added for using a card.)”
“Owner is changed recently and they increased prices a little bit, still cheaper than Lee's oriental.
However, some items are more expensive than ordering from Weee now.”
“Great family run market with a nice selection of SE Asian foods. There is also fantastic deli that serves all of the Hmong favorites, with many made to order items as well as grab-and-go items. I like to get spring rolls, egg rolls, pork belly, Hmong sausage, and sweet noodles from the grab and go area. The larb is made fresh to order and takes time. It can be made with chicken or beef (both include tripe), with sticky rice for an extra charge. Its one of the best larbs in the city. The place is family run so don’t expect a ton of formality. The larb and other made to order items take time, but are delicious and worth the wait. It can get busy and they frequently sell out of items, so call ahead if you are in a hurry.”
“Absolutely love their Deli Mart. It’s some real Asian food that feels just like I’m back in Chicago. I tried their Bulgogi Plate, Roasted Pork Plate, and Pork Lumpia. All three are just so tasty. I’ll be a frequent customer just for their food. ?”
“Usually has what we are looking for, items moved around sometimes and can be difficult to find. Some items pricey. But I like going here and the products are good.”
“Honestly I went here because it’s where hot and spicy food was located… I had the pad Thai and it was absolutely phenomenal was the first time I ever ate pad Thai and I fell in love. They had a huge selection of Asian foods so next time I’m making some homemade Thai food I’ll be sure to hit this place up!”
“We came here primarily for the floral department, which is expansive with a broad selection.
Do not come here for the lowest floral prices; however, they did a really great and expedient job of arranging a cut bouquet for our baby elephant planter (shown). It's only money.”
“Love Capitol Centre Market for its location and good selection of items. They have pretty good weekly deals and always have some items on clearance. The staff are professional and helpful. Certain produce items are really expensive though, for no clear reason. Like zucchini is $4-5 per pound even in the summer, when its dirt cheap everywhere else and anyone with a zucchini plant has more than they know what to do with. Also yogurt is consistently more expensive here than most other places.”
“Judging not by the problems encountered, but by the response then I can recommend Christine's Kitchen. I started this review months ago but picking back up. I thought to list with 2 stars but I am an ardent supporter and softy for small businesses so I'm glad I gave myself time and space from the hiccup before posting a review. 1) this umbrella organization provides plenty small eateries, individual cooks and home decor offerings a place to reach many with less effort 2) the location is right off E. Wash with a parking lot for easy access 3) order online and schedule a pickup 4) customer service really tries. I could go on about my incident but I respect the attempts at recovery more than I'd ever complain about the mix-up/failure/stumble. However you want to name it; nonetheless, I'd summarize with Nice concept but the pickup process failed while the service sincerely tries to correct and adapt which says more than anything to me. Why 4 stars and not 5? There's authentic room for improvement and I'm certain they'll get it as I've only had two visits to provide the average/mean while I hope anyone reading doesn't see 4 stars as failing but as a genuine review supporting their potential growth + honest interactions with me as a shopper.”
“We go here for the deli. The Vietnamese sausages that are warm and ready to eat are delicious and a regular purchase for us. We've also tried other items from the deli such as the Pad Thai which are also great meals. This is also a grocery store which has some nice selections as well. The prices are affordable. The food and prices keep us coming back.”
“This grocery store has been here for years now, I enjoy coming here for fresh tortillas coming out of a tortilla maker close to handmade. Is busy on the weekends. Has different things to choose from and a small restaurant inside. Only thing it can get crowded on busy days wish was a little bit more organize also when you buy stuff make sure you check the expiration date. The most of I spent on a meal for a family of 5-10 people close to $70 that includes drinks and fresh salsa and carnitas and tortillas and cheese. And a piece of cake.”

“Bombay Bazaar is a convenient spot for finding desi products, but the prices are quite high. Since there is no direct competition in the area, they tend to charge higher rates for all products. For those looking for an alternative, So Freshmart offers similar products at $2-$3 less than Bombay Bazaar.
One of the main reasons I visit is for fresh vegetables, which are available every Tuesday after 5 PM. However, the selection is limited and repetitive, with the same items appearing each week. I mainly go there for fresh green chilies, but if I find another store with better prices and a more welcoming atmosphere, I would likely switch.
Another inconvenience is that card payments are not accepted for purchases under $10, which can be frustrating for small purchases. Additionally, the store itself is very small, making it difficult to shop comfortably when there are a lot of people.
Overall, Bombay Bazaar serves a purpose, but the high prices, small space, and payment restrictions make it less appealing compared to other options in the area.”
“Good selection and best prices that I've found. The dumpling selection is quite extensive.
When you walk in, there is a distinct and pleasant smell. It doesn't matter what day or time, there are always customers. Even so, checking out is quick.”
“Very grateful to have 4 downtown grocery stores in Madison. Shopping here will get you most of what you need, with items like produce being fairly reasonably priced. There is a good selection of canned goods, unlike at Target on State St. However, I find the pricing of some items to be predatory. A gallon of milk is more per unit than a half gallon for some reason. It’s like they think customers just won’t notice they’re paying more for no reason. I’ll just buy milk elsewhere. Chicken nuggets/patties are like $7 per pound, more than actual less processed meats.”
“Meh... health food. Support em. Best produce. Downside is the doors are guarded by bum beggers most times i visit. The bums are extra aggro here because the Coop does nothing about it. The bum's target this place because of how soft the coop is”
“Great place to stop in late at night and grab some snacks. I’ve been living on state street a few years now so the convenience of the location is 10/10. The workers are very polite and I’ve never had a problem here.”
“Whenever I visit Madison it's always a treat to shop at Jeny Street Market. They have such a fun variety of quality things to choose from. Yummy produce, tasty baked goods, lovely cheese and great eggs. The staff are always helpful and nice too!!”
“I love drinking kvass and this is the only place locally that carries it. They have a great selection of European foods, I usually pick up a few snack items while I'm there.”
“Cheapest tofu I've seen in town, best variety as well. Make sure to check the packaging before you buy anything, however as some products are past the date!”
“Such a great spot for any time of day. Just moved in across the street and this place has everything.... great, fresh food, awesome options for beer and seltzers.... tampons..... cold brew bottled and on tap. And the employees are awesome too, always so nice and friendly. 100000/10”

“Woodmans has it all. Great selection & great prices. Would caution shoppers to check expiration dates on products whenever possible. Especially those in the refrigerator/fresh sections. Have found expired items every now and again. Downgraded one star because I personally do not care for their bakery. Great for staples, bulk , and harder to find items.”
“The best place to grocery shop, especially near the UW campus. There's a convenient bus, BCycle station, and (limited) parking. Extremely busy on the weekends, especially during the school year - definitely recommend avoiding if possible. Like all Trader Joe's, products are amazing, in-store ambience is great, and employees are very knowledge, friendly, and welcoming.”
