He should give tips to the two young ladies who were working in the store front. I came in and wasn't greeted at all. Two workers were engrossed in conversation about a party and I had to interrupt to ask a jewelry question. Two other shoppers came in and weren't greeted either. Yet, a friend of theirs walked in and there were squeals and hugs galore. I am all for employing energetic, fun youngsters, but not at the expense of making my customers feel unwelcome. I headed to Westport to The Post and bought everything I needed there. (And had lovely interaction with the staff!) Some cute items in store, but not worth feeling like I'm annoying or interrupting people when trying to make a purchase.

Don't let other posted photos fool you like i did. This is the cake I received.

The strawberry pop tart cookie is frosted in store when you order and the mini pop tarts also added. I didn't know this process either. It added to the fun atmosphere to watch our order be put together.

Having visited many markets in Fairfield County over the years, I was astonished to just discover…read morethis hidden gem. Slightly off the beaten path, I surmise it is well known to Darien residents. The layout is somewhat unusual -- you enter into the dairy aisle, with produce at the other end of the building. Make sure you try the prepared foods -- the chicken scarpariello meatballs are our favorite item so far. Soups were excellent -- chicken matzo ball, sausage gumbo and carrots ginger all pleased. Pulled pork was savory but could have used some sauce. At Easter they were sampling delicious ham and scalloped potatoes. Fresh meats appeared to be of high quality, I can vouch for the hamburger patties. The fish counter is small and is not attended by a fishmonger. I've only had free samples of the baked goods so far, but they look great. Produce is solid, but as expensive as you would expect from a gourmet market in Darien. Service from the counter folks and check out was uniformly excellent.

Shopping at Palmer's is always an experience. Yes, the prices might be slightly higher than Whole…read moreFoods, but that's really beside the point, you're not just buying groceries, you're investing in a lifestyle. Where else can you stroll the aisles with a free coffee in hand, pretending you came in for "just one thing," while slowly filling your cart with items you didn't know existed but now absolutely need. And the rotisserie chicken might be the best financial decision in the whole store. Somehow it's the one thing that feels like a bargain while everything else gently reminds you that quality comes at a price. In the end you walk out with great groceries, a lighter wallet, and the comforting feeling that at least you did it with a cup of free coffee in your hand. Honestly, worth it.

I spent 50$ there and everything tasted a few days old. The smell of the quiche reheated was inedible, smelled gamey. the cake tasted old. theres not labels above and below all of the food and pastry options so I dont know what anything is. there was no coffee drinks menu but teas were randomly written on a piece of paper. they should redo menu, make it clearer, offer less options that are all fresher. salads are great, sandwiches are great, flatbreads are great.

As an added bonus, I joined…read morethe rewards program & received a free loaf of bread which was a gr8 perk & made the visit even better. The shop itself is rather small but it is clean,inviting, & filled w/ the amazing aroma of freshly baked bread. For my free loaf I chose the Apricot Delight (sliced thin), which was packed w/ apricots, raisins, & currants. What impressed me most was that Nicole(staff who took care of me) told me the bread has more fruit than bread & no added sugar or preservatives.The fruit was plentiful in every slice, & since there's no added sugar, the natural sweetness really shined through. It was incredibly fresh, flavorful, & absolutely delish! I also tried the Hot Honey Pepperoni Mini Pizza , which was tasty w/ plenty of flavor. The only complaint I have is that it couldn't be warmed up. I think it would have been better hot!To finish things off, I tasted a cinnamon roll that was soft, ooey,gooey, everything a good cinnamon roll should be(except it would have been better hot as well). Overall, I was very impressed w/ the quality of the homemade baked goods & the freshness(they bake everything daily)of everything I tried. The staff was friendly, the rewards program was a nice bonus, & I even earned points through the Cobs app for future visits. I'll def be back to try more of their breads,baked goods, & pastries!
