    I know not all stores are created equal. Guess I got spoiled by the newer location in White Oak Town Center that I frequent at least once a week as it's much closer to me. Sadly I can't say I was impressed enough that I'd ever return. The guy by the door was very pleasant and greeted everyone! The other employees weren't giving that same energy. I found some of the produce wasn't the freshest so I didn't bother. They were completely out of bananas. Oh well. I found a few items and I left. I did the self checkout and most of them were out.

    3.18.25 I'm not sure what I was expecting from Amazon Fresh but I thought there would be more of a wow factor than a regular grocery store. I don't normally go grocery shopping for my household, but I believe the prices are comparable to other competitors and there was nothing unique about it. The store was organized and clean and the aisles were spacious. Wouldn't go out of my way to shop here but if I need something, it is convenient if I am in the shopping center.

    This review is coming from a member mom/wife who shops at multiple stores to reduce the cost of her monthly grocery expenses. lol The store overall is pretty. Very neat and new and organized. I love the vibes in here. The prices on the other hand? Not a vibe. The produce and pretty much everything in there is more expensive than their competitors. Just to have an electronic cart and a quick pay to go feature is not worth the expense. This is just my Opinion. The staff did a great job with stocking and asking me if I needed help. I would come back if their prices match Giant or even Safeway. And Safeway is high too. Lol Thank you for the experience though.

    Empty shelves on a Saturday afternoon

    I've been here several times and I've really tried to like this place as the idea of "what if Whole Foods but cheaper" seemed great but Amazon Fresh, at least this Shady Grove location is not living up to expectations. First the positives. 1) staff are great. They're always smiling, very helpful 2) great place to do Amazon order returns or pickup. The process is super easy and the return line quick. 3) prices are pretty good, especially for the "Amazon Brand" items. Definitely beats out Giant, Safeway, quality seems good. Seems to compete with Aldi and Lidl on pricing. 4) if you are an Amazon member and have the credit card it's nice getting 5% back, and self check out is a breeze. I've yet to use the self check out "Dash Carts" but based on observations they seem to work well. The bad 1) disorganized empty shelves. For a company as rich and resource heavy as Amazon this is an embarrassment and it seems to be getting worse at this location. I worked in grocery before, and the motto is never show disorganized or empty shelves if at all possible. It's not like I went end of day either - it's 2pm on a Saturday! In excusable 2) lack of variety. There really isn't much depth to the products here. It's not even competing with Giant/Safeway and barely keeping pace with Aldi and Lild on the offerings. The deli/take out/bakery section is also leaving a lot to be desired Verdict. I pick up a few things here when I need to do an Amazon.com return or item pickup. The items they do have are ok quality and good pricing. It's nice to earn that 5% cash back as a Prime member. But the store is poorly run and disorganized and they need to fix that and expand the deli/takeout section asap.

    I usually come here to make my Amazon returns. I do like the grocery cart that you can use to ring up your own items as you shop. The only downside to the self checkout cart is that there is no space for a child to sit. It's an introverts dream. The food selection here is not the best but also not the worst. It's is brightly lit and you probably won't find a staff member if you need help. It's usually empty of customers and staff.

    A compact grocery store. Very small isles. If you remember the old Magruders stores, narrow isles like they had. Upon entering, we used a regular cart, you will flow directly into produce. Organic options are mixed in. The produce is very fresh looking, just limited as expected. The perimeter has a good selection of meats, dairy, and other refrigerated items, including Eggs. There is one frozen isle. As expected, there are a number of Whole Foods 365 brands. It's worth checking out, especially if you are a Amazon Prime member to qualify for that lower price on many items. You won't be able to buy everything you need here. I consider this a supplemental opportunity. Found a few items that were better priced than anywhere else, though. Self checkout has 6 or 7 stations, plus regular lines with cashiers.

    Want Amazon Pizza? This is the place to try the newest frontier of Amazon getting local grocery. Went for the opening this morning, there was a line out the door since this was the first day. This store is a reinvention from the original concept of cameras everywhere and you don't need a cash register, just pick up and go. This store has 3 checkout types. Use a dash cart that comes with a register. A self checkout line or a cashier checkout. Some fruits on sale were cheap, but my organic strawberries had a few that were spoiled but then I can chalk that down to starting issues. Moms across the road will have no worries as I like the free coffee I get at Mom's plus organic whole milk was $3 more expensive here. Organic bananas were slight cheaper than Mom's or Trader Joe's. There were a few food tasting places in the store today but I am not sure if that will continue when I visit next. Saw many Amazon branded food items. I used my Amazon app on the phone to checkout and got 5% off plus the 5 points to my card. Amazon excels at service and that showed today in the store with the energy and the helpfulness. With MoMs, Trader Joe's, Aldi, Safeway and Giant within a few miles I hope everyone one of them does well. You can also use this store for Amazon returns without packing your item back.

    Through it in the trash. Not disclosed previously frozen and fish was from China!

    Not worth a special trip here. Unhappy with a couple of products I've purchased. You have to watch the sale by dates on packaged produce -some of them only have a few days. You have to dig all the way in the back for ones that have a longer use by date. The green beans I purchased were well past their prime & had to be tossed. I also purchased a 12 oz. Pkg of Cod. THE PACKAGE DIDNT DISCLOSE IT WAS PREVIOUSLY FROZEN! It was sold in the fresh fish case. Upon opening the package, I found the fish to be very poor quality. It had been thawed and frozen a couple of times. It was mushy from poor manufacturer/store handling of being thawed & re-frozen more than once and upon closer inspection, I found that back of the pkg stated THE COD WAS FROM CHINA! I'm not eating anything from China! I threw the whole thing in the trash. I don't like that you have to carefully watch what you buy here. I also found that prices were higher than most stores for same items. Example: $1.49 for a cucumber is more than double the cost. Hot bar food at 4p.m. looked old, dried out & unappetizing. This store is such a dud. I was expecting so much more. I don't think I'll shop here very often and don't recommend it.

    Of the 6 self service checkout registers, 3 were not working this afternoon. This store has been open...what?? 3 months?? The one I used, would not register any Prime member prices, so the 2/$4 Coke products showed up at $3.19 each, and the sale rack bullion cubes which were marked $.50 rang up at $1.89 each. There are so many problems all around the store, that if you find someone to help, he runs off before making sure the problem is fixed. So I took my stuff off and went to a regular cashier. This store is not ready for Prime time!

    Really want sure what to expect after all the hype and the "will we or won't we" get the Amazon Fresh at this location. Well, it's a grocery store that has just stepped up the self check out game. It's super easy to use their dash cart and just walk out. A friendly employee helped me get set up soon as I walked in. There were Amazon Prime sale prices, similar to any grocery store rewards program. Produce looked a bit picked over, honey crisp apples looked sad. Prepared food selection was good. Grabbed some hot & ready cheese curds that were delicious and a ready to bake pepperoni pizza that was pretty good. Aisles seemed pretty narrow for those huge dash carts, have to carefully maneuver to pass one. Amazon return kiosk was what brought me in to begin with and that was super easy to use & convenient. I'll probably go back again, but it won't become my go-to place for groceries.

    Wheels lock (similar to Aldi) so carts don't get too far

    Went to Amazon Fresh twice in one day! It's the grand opening (August 8, 2024) and the deals were too good to pass up. I didn't use the Smart Carts, but it's awesome those are available for customers. Prime deals are available on many items on top of the daily 10% off for Prime Members (but non-members can shop here as well). The store and restrooms were both clean and the employees were happy to help with questions I had. I appreciate another store to support that offer competitive pricing for the community.

We picked up several kimbap at full price and continued shopping inside the store. A few minutes later, when we returned to the same section to get more, all of the kimbap had suddenly been marked 50% off. We never left the store, and the items we were holding were exactly the same as the ones now labeled on sale. Because of that, we went to customer service to ask if the sale price could be applied. While we were speaking with the customer service associate, another woman sitting nearby abruptly inserted herself into the conversation and said she was the kitchen manager and that she had personally decided to mark the items down. Then, within earshot of us, she said, "So people carry items around and then ask for a discount once they see the sale price." The implication was extremely unpleasant, and it made us feel as if we were being treated as unreasonable or dishonest customers. What made this even more frustrating was that both employees were already aware of why we came to customer service, yet chose to respond with a dismissive and condescending attitude instead of explaining the policy clearly and respectfully. We were told that because we picked up the items before the sale stickers were placed, we would have to pay full price. In the end, we chose not to purchase the kimbap at all, at either price. Realistically, the full priced kimbap we put back would have had to be marked down anyway, since identical items sitting next to sale priced ones are unlikely to sell at full price. This made the rigid stance feel unnecessary on top of being poorly handled. Policies are one thing. Publicly speaking about customers in a mocking or judgmental way is another. We left feeling genuinely disrespected, and it completely overshadowed what should have been a simple shopping experience. Customer service should involve basic courtesy and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was lacking here.
