    Drink stock

    I live around the corner and visit here when I just need a couple of things and don't want to deal with Whole Foods crowd. I would consider this an average convenience store. They have an ok selection of snack food for the size as well as the essentials (milk, bread, etc). I do get annoyed that there are no prices on these items. It's also priced much higher than expected, and it's annoying to find out when you check out. It's inexcusable really. I usually don't buy a lot, but somehow always end up spending at least $25 on 4 items. They do have a very good alcohol selection as well as cocktail ingredients. However, it is all very overpriced. They do have prices on these interestingly enough. The bottom shelf whiskies are a few dollars higher than expected (23.99 vs 20.99 for four roses) but what gets me are bottles of Buffalo trace (normally a $30 bottle) marked to $65 or Weller special reserve (a retail $27 bottle) being sold at literally $100. Blantons is $200 (retails 69.99 and I can find $110 on the secondary market). It's a bit ridiculous. The beer prices are also high for the area. I don't drink wine so I can't really comment on the selection or prices (sorry!). I can also verify that the staff are rarely wearing masks on any of my visits despite the mandate and a sign being in the door a mask is required. They don't have a counter barrier that would make this slightly permissible, and least that I've noticed. Depends on who is working and they seem to have gotten slightly better about this. Overall, it's a ok stop for a couple of quick items and some standard liquors as prices are comparable, or for that midnight hankering for ice cream. It's not the most friendly environment, but it's at least well kept. But there's not really anything here that warrants going out of your way for this pricey visit.

    Yessss! Found it

    Yep! I was on the hunt for Cookie Dough Café and I've found it! (edible cookie dough/ cookiedoughcafe.com). This is a big deal to me because of course it's only sold at like 4 places out here in Boston. I got the monster kind with M&M's, PB and oats. SOOO damn good, 1 pint is $8.29- and yes I think it's worth it. I will pay any amount of money for good food, liquor and sweets. Other notes: Staff is fun and friendly! They were blasting great music. Street parking- be careful because one side of the street is Boston permit parking only.

    I dunno my business having smooth nitro cold brew coffee on tap at 9pm on Sunday from this clutch connah store in Brighton called Chansky's, that happens to make their own rootbeers, ginger beers, lime rickeys, and other thangs. Will definitely be back.

    Watch out! Employees do not wear masks, allow customers in without masks also. Not a safe place to shop at the moment.

It's clean, colorful, has that small market feel yet packed full with lots of items. You enter and there's a good selection of fruit, produce, cheeses from Europe, meats, caviar, fish, and lots more.

It seems small from the outside but is huge inside. I usually come here for Eastern-European dairy and deli products (Dadu ice cream + cirok, Kefir, Kielbasa, etc...) and russian candy/snacks. Love their Mors juice, this one is a hit here. Can't go wrong with sushki. The only thing is sometimes the produce, deli meats, and dairy products are not the freshest- just make sure to double check them before eating. They also have a lot of Russian premade dishes available for purchase. Some are okay like the olivee salad & vinaigrette salad, but I have had better meat blini, they are soggy & tasteless. It's just so nostalgic.

As I was checking myself out I heard these boys (probably college age and clearly friends) talking about having sex with women and what is/isn't rape and talking loudly and openly in front of customers while laughing and making Rape jokes and talking about having sex with women. Then an older woman who appeared to be a manager came over and asked them to get back to work- which they did for about 15 seconds and then continued their offensive conversation. When I finished checking out I approached the manager (partly because I was afraid to approach the guys at that point) and told her that they were having this conversation right now. She was standing next to two other men who seemed to be In some sort of leadership position and. She smiled at me and said "oh okay, I'll take care of it".... Not phased AT ALL about what I just told her. She reacted like I just told her I spilt something in the aisle, so casually and not concerned. One of the guys said nothing and the other just said "oh I'm sorry". Both of them looked surprised in concerned but made no moves to speak further or do anything. I was so stunned that I walked away and when I looked back she had still made no move to speak to these boys and neither had the other two men Disgusting behavior by all of them. Shows their moral character honestly. A complaint has been filed and I Just wanted to inform the public to be safe there!! When I called customer service at that store directly, the women didn't seem surprised to hear this and said she knew who I was talking about despite me not having their names and she suggested I call to file a complaint

    This is a great store, with lots of less-common items that my family likes to eat…read more However, my review today is about one cashier. I go there often, and EVERYONE there has been GREAT...except for this kid. I checked out my groceries around 11:45am today, 6/5/22. She didn't have a name tag on, so i will describe her: teenager, straight hair with lighter dyed front parts of her hair and multiple nose piercings. The person in front of me was an older lady, and after she cashed out, the lady had to ask the cashier to help bag her groceries. The cashier reluctantly started helping, but filled one bag with what looked like 20 cans, before the older lady asked her to not make the bags so heavy. The cashier let the older lady do most of the work. When it was my turn, a bagger appeared, Mohammed, and he was awesome. The cashier didn't say a word to him or to me the whole time, even though we both said hi to her. Then, the cashier started bagging some of my stuff, and actually put heavy boxes of drinks on top of chips. Mohammed did most of the work, excellently. After mashing multiple bags of chips, the cashier turned and sat in the thing that holds plastic bags. I have been a teacher for a long time, mostly at the high school level, and I have tremendous patience with teenagers. However, this girl does not (yet) have the maturity to work a job where she interacts with customers. Please do everyone a favor, and give her hours to one of the many hard-working employees at that store.

Brett goes beyond his duties at the store. He is the most helpful to all us customers. He also does every bit of work in the store beyond his duties . to fire employee like that is a the stupidest move Star Market could ever make. I have been for over 40 years and Brett is the best of the best. It is your loss unless You bring him back . his fellow employees love him and so don't the customers I can't believe one manager is too stupid to see that. I personally will be boycotting this store and will spread the word of this injustice . I think that so called manager should be relocated .

    Longtime app user and loyal customer to this location. Not anymore…read more Today before grocery shopping I ask the front desk if I could exchange for $10 in quarters. She refuses but suggests a couple spots nearby that might be kind enough. Ok... I do my shopping and I'm checking out at self checkout. There are two employees standing there hanging out, not preparing bags, or anything useful. One comes over not to thank me for spending $100 on groceries today- But to eye my scanned groceries and then correct me that I had typed in the wrong type of tomatoes, presumably saving the store $00.30 or something.

My problem however is with the blatant disrespect from some of the employees- 2 incidents in particular that I believe may have been with the same employee. My father, who is not from around here and just visiting, went to this location to pick up some cold medicine for me as I was sick with the flu. Upon checkout my father was asked to present his ID. He was confused and asked why that was necessary, but instead of explaining, the employee repeated louder that he needed to present his ID or she would call the manager. My father, still confused, asked again why she needed it and the employee proceeded to call the manager over claiming that my father was being aggressive and uncooperative and refused to sell the item. Luckily the manager was very kind to my father, apologized, and shared that no ID was necessary for this product and he was welcome to purchase it and leave. But of course when he returned to the house he was visibly shook up and still confused as to why that happened in the first place... as was I. And most recently- I was waiting in the checkout line (which was very long due to being around 6pm) speaking with someone on the phone. As it was my turn to check out I put away my phone and pulled out my earbud and the cashier kept looking at a bag I was holding from work. Assuming that she may have been thinking my bag was going to be used for the items I mentioned that I would like a paper bag from the store. There seemed to be some confusion as she proceeded to ask me a few times -angrily- if I needed a bag or not even though my answer was always yes. She then proceeded to say "you talk too much. All you do is talk talk talk here you can bag your own groceries" and tossed the bag at me. Normally when it is this busy I bag my own groceries anyways but I was absolutely shocked. She continued to TOSS each grocery item at me as I was bagging it myself. With the line being so long behind me I decided against confronting the employee in the moment as that may have caused a scene and many people to not be able to check out. Ive been in the service industry and understand the weight of being stressed and having a bad day can put on you- but I don't believe anyone should be treated with that kind of disrespect. Very disappointed.
