Produced tends to be surprisingly decent (except apples most of the time), and the floral arrangements are fresher than wfm. Grab and go deli is convenient and some of the prepared foods are very good.

So disappointing to see the decline of Stop & Shop in Arlington. I already have a job, so I…read moreusually skip self checkout, but last week the lines were way long for a live employee. Choosing apparent speed over actual speed was my first mistake. My second mistake was following the instructions to place my item in the bagging area. I placed it right there in the area marked BAGGING AREA, but could not ring in any other item because the machine did not agree that I had performed as directed. Along comes an employee who persuades the machine that I had performed as directed. But oops, I did it again: I scanned an item and put it in the bagging area. Back comes the nasty little employee with nasty remarks drenched in sarcasm, all about how she's here to help me but can't do that if I don't calm down. Calm down? Help me? I decided to go elsewhere, and on my way out, she shouted remarks about religion. There was no need to escalate this already unpleasant situation like that. Avram and Carol would be appalled, but they're gone, as is the work ethic and attention to customer preferences at their formerly wonderful store. *sign*

Love to grab items on the way out of town. Always have great pizza and some salads for the road.read more

Consider this store a Whole Foods junior-sized. Yes it's not stocked locally like Woburn or…read moreMedford, and yes it runs out often. But if you plan according to the regular rhythms of its restocking schedule, you'll be fine. Its junior size makes it easier to navigate and find what you are looking for. The staff is helpful and friendly. Check out is surprisingly efficient as many shoppers have mastered the self-checkout. I can find 90% of what I need and that's great since it's 5 minutes from where i live. For deeper shopping and specialty items I'll go to Wegman's or Whole Foods Medford or Wilsons Farm.

Being right next to Arlington Catholic high should help too. Nothing like chips and sodas after a long day of Sister Catherine slapping you with a cross! Bonus, buy a sandwich, get a can of soda free (no deli, just the convenience store style pre-made thangs). I'll be back next time we're out of milk, eggs, or 2 dolla scratch tickets.

I had the chance to stop by their Strawberry Festival last month and it was an enjoyable event…read more Unfortunately given the 1 lane road either way they caused their own traffic jam in/out and ran out of parking in the main lot. My friend and I wound up in the overflow a little after 11am when the event started. I've always seen signs around when I'm driving in the area for other events or goods that they are selling. In the fall they seem especially popular as well for pumpkins and fall activities. The market area is brightly lit. Given the neighborhood, as everyone else has commented expect prices to be at a premium. The samples we tried at the Strawberry Festival were tasty. My favorite was the short cake. They also offered tickets at $1/ticket for some other paid offerings such as their ice cream which I skipped. They had someone dressed up as the Green Monster so that was a fun photo op for the family too. The event had a lot of staff so each station was moving. In fact one of the owners/managers came by seeing a long queue near the entrance by the pasta said we could walk around to the other stations since no one should be waiting in a line (ignore the line to park and get in haha.) I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to visit but it's an option for local. I've also gone to Wagon Wheel which is smaller for seasonal / market type items.

You cannot ask for fancy stuff, but otherwise, everything for simple day to day needs is present. Staff is also usually helpful, even if not always really competent.

My mother-in-law rarely makes the trip down to "The Avenue" (Massachusetts Avenue) anymore because…read moreshe misses so many of the businesses that have left. When she does trek down, it's for the delectable, overflowing with meat, pastrami sub from D'agostino's. There's so much pastrami that she takes out half of it and saves it for a second serving. My husband says that the pastrami is very lean and that's what makes it so good. Meanwhile, I'm the vegetarian who loves that they offer a cheese sub! They're also heavy-handed with the cheese portions! Along with having a small grocery market, they offer New England-made desserts, ice creams (Barts and Shain's of Maine), salty snacks (Wrap City chips), and ready to heat and eat entrees. D'Agostino's is handicapped accessible and has a small private parking lot with free parking. There's also on-street parking.

I also got an iced coffee which was delicious as well. The most recent time I got corn chowder and a roll and iced coffee which was yummy as well. I also brought my mom home a croissant which she loved. As always the garden center is beautiful and love the koi fish! I had my food at one of the tables in the green house which is nice. Can't wait to come back!

They had a variety of wine selections and groceries of course. I was thoroughly surprised they even had sake. There is also a deli for you to get some fresh made salad and sandwiches. The prices were reasonable as well. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out and supporting a local business.

BEAUTIFUL selection of produce- seriously very different from the grocery store (even whole foods)…read more If you miss farmers markets centered on fruit/veggies and actual food (no craft vendors here!) this is the place to be.

We drove 30min from Boston to get here for a second time…read more streetside parking was plentiful. food (5/5): what an authentic thai spot. I've been 2x and can't wait to try everything on the menu. they don't skimp on flavor, and everything tastes so fresh. Do yourself a favor and order the Zab wings-- i may have gotten more than one order and have day dreamed about having it!!! eggplant basil, moo honk, and mango sticky rice rounded out an amazing meal. Affordable for greater Boston prices nowadays. service (5/5): very prompt seating on a weekday night, with ordering at the counter. despite the busy influx of takeout orders, the Boonnoon team consistently checked in on us. Ambiance: def a casual vibe Can't wait to be back!! No joke, it gives Mahaniyom a run for its money as one of the best Thai spots in the greater Boston area.

Not sure what all the hype is about for this place! We ordered Thai fried rice, green curry and…read morefish cakes. Fish cakes were small and perfectly uniform - almost like they were frozen rather than prepared on site. Green curry had some spice but was mostly one note, there just wasn't much depth of flavor. Vegetables were all cut in huge hunks - both dishes had giant pieces of red bell peppers and onions. Fried rice was pretty bland and barely had any Chinese broccoli in it. Ambiance was bare bones - you order at the counter and they bring you your food and plastic side plates. Half the tables were stacked with boxes and bags of takeout orders. To top it off there's no bathroom, we were told to use the bathroom at another local business. If I'm gonna spend $60 somewhere, I expect to be able to wash my hands before eating and use the restroom. Perhaps there are some specialty dishes that we didn't try but this was my 2nd time ordering from here (I got take out once before) and both times the food was pretty bland. A truly underwhelming experience - especially when there are so many better restaurants in the area.
