They sell plants at a fairly reasonable price ($10.99 for gardenias that my local nursey sells for twice as much), and it's a nice fun hunt to see which locations have what plants since each location differs in stock. There were several self-checkout registers and one cashier lane. The cashier was friendly, efficient, and helpful. Free underground parking for 90 minutes! Definitely would come here again.

What I found is that skim milk, eggs, and canned vegetables are a great price and I am going to pick up some baking items next. If there is anything that you cannot find in Lidl, Wegman's is just steps away. For the great value, the store was not crowded at all on a Saturday afternoon. The store is not too big to navigate. After a couple of circles around the aisles, items that I needed were easy to find. The bakery cabinet was the most tempting after passing by it several times! Self-checkout was really easy. There were also some cashiers doing checkout if you prefer that.

There is a decent selection of freshly baked breads and pastries at good prices, though they tasted just okay. The self checkout area is a big plus. At other Lidl stores, long checkout lines are common, but here you can get through quickly, which is perfect for anyone stopping by to grab a few items. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially around the checkout area. The store itself is on the smaller side and offers a limited selection in each category. There are two parking garage entrances, one from Old Georgetown Road and another from Woodmont Avenue. We entered from Woodmont, which was a bit confusing since we had to pass through two parking gates. Exiting onto Old Georgetown Road was much smoother and had no gate. Parking is free and plentiful. Overall, this is not a place where I would do all my grocery shopping, but I might stop by occasionally to pick up something new or interesting. It could also be fun to visit a Lidl outside Maryland that sells alcohol. I remember the one in Paris, France had a great and affordable wine selection.

This Trader Joe is on the small side, and being in Maryland they don't carry alcohol. Nevertheless,…read moreit has most of what I need. I want to give a special shoutout to the international foods Trader Joe sources. This is generally a TJ strong suit, but here I want to mention a few they absolutely nail: Mini samosas: most Indian restaurants in the US serve samosas that have thick doughy shells and are overstuffed with potato filling. But the ones I really love are the Gujarati kind, with thin exteriors and better proportioned, more flavorful filling. This is the kind TJ carries. Oh my heart! Beef Birria: cooked long and slow, so the tomato, vinegar and chili meld into a deep, complex sauce to flavor the beef. The meat itself is so tender it falls easily apart, perfect filling for a tortilla. Takes me right back to Mexico. MultiPurpose Japanese seasoning: I originally bought this to make a seaweed mayonnaise that I wanted to serve with salmon. It turned out beautifully, but pretty soon I was sprinkling the seasoning on all manner of dishes, bringing them alive on my tongue and giving me a new reason for being excited about food!

It's fine if if you need basics and household products for less than big brands. However, if you want more variety, one of the more traditional supermarkets in the area may be a better bet.

Only stopped in to check the bakery section. I was only there for maybe 5 minutes because I was…read morelooking for the strawberry pastry. Unfortunately they were sold out but I could tell the bakery section was fairly popular here. The rest of the store was lit fairly well and was very clean.

Because of Covid19, we've been eating a lot of canned, dried, and frozen foods and I was really craving some fresh vegetables and fruit. So that's what I did. I went in and I went ham in the produce section. I literally grabbed veg after veg after veg until I zoomed down the back side of the store, picked up some ground me and zoomed to the front. Good thing I accidentally went down the ice cream aisle. I swear it wasn't on purpose! Ended up with some burbon truffle ice cream and some whiskey chocolate ice cream too from Haggan Daaz. The store seemed very clean, the store wasn't crowded ( for some reason this store never is), and the plexi glass in between you and cashier was a nice little added layer of security. The produce I ended up getting was really great actually. The broccoli is great quality, I got collard greens ( the bunches were huge), and I also got some clementines and grapefruit which were both sweet and tart. Solid quality on the veg. Definitely might quarantine shop here again. Solid choice.

Since being acquired by Safeway/Albertsons, the "specialty", in a specialty store, has pretty much vanished. I still do believe that their bistro meals, ordered with care, can be a budget, friendly, yes, I do mean budget, friendly, alternative to fast food (herb, roasted turkey dinner with fingerling potatoes and green beans are $16 and can last for two meals) Their carrot cake, has always been exceptional and remains so The disappointing part is how Balducci's now stocks basically Safeway products and up charges considerably for them. (perfect example is their prepared coleslaw. ) Items like cucumber salad, herring nibs, and other items have disappeared in favor of commercially packaged items. I always found their fish to be fresh and flavorful, but now I have seen a decline in the quality of their fish. Recently , I went to get one of their wonderful cups of coffee and found that that Service no longer is available. I guess things change.However, I don't feel the change at Balducci's has been for the better

For organic food, the prices are quite good and there's a good amount of variety. I'm much more of a meat eater, so a completely vegetarian menu normally wouldn't be my first choice, but I genuinely enjoy the food here. The burgers are actually my personal favorite, especially when they have the mushroom "bacon." I'm not usually big on meat substitutes, but the way they prepare it works really well and tastes great in its own way. The burgers aren't quite as good of a value portion-wise as the bowls, though. The salad bowls are more filling for the price, and you can customize them with whatever you want. They also regularly have limited-time items like tacos, along with juices, muffins, and other options, so there's usually something different to try. There's seating inside along the counter, but my family usually prefers grabbing one of the tables outside when the weather is nice. Overall, really good healthy food, solid value, and plenty of options even for someone who normally prefers meat. The burgers are still my favorite, but the bowls are probably the best bang for your buck. I recommend!

They have a far greater selection when it comes to fruits, organic drinks, and nuts and berries. In fact, very few of their these roducts come in boxes.

I purchased a turkey croissant sandwich to eat for lunch. I couldn't resist a Kioa cold brew coffee as well. I especially like the authentic peanut butter machine, where you can make your own. Everything is totally awesome about this store, and I do believe it's even more affordable than the big chain organic grocery store.
