    Much better experience at this location. Store is clean, staff was nice and helpful. All items faced nicely, over all a well organized location. Parking lot was SO much better than Union City! Also I want to add, here they call for more cashiers when the line got long (at least today they did).

    Nasty!! Never buy meat at industrial foodmaxx this is ridiculous its all the time i go to another store for meat

    Great prices. A nice variety of produce, meats and ethnic items. On my last visit, there weren't enough cashiers for the number of customers.

    Signature Kitchens Strawberry topped Boston Cream Cake.

    So I want preface by saying that this review is not directed against FoodMaxxc itself but for the specific cake made by Signature Kitchens. The cake in itself was pretty damn tasty but that isn't the point. They are advertising this cake as a Boston cream cake. The cake looks like it is filled with half an inch of Boston cream. But when you cut into the cake, there is barely a sliver of Boston cream on the edge of the cake. If I wanted a sponge cake then I would have bought a sponge cake.

    Took the FoodMaxx Customer Satisfaction Survey recently and left comments regarding how the store can improve. Impressed that the manager of the store contacted me back about my experience and told me that they are addressing each of my concerns. She went ahead and addressed each of my concerns. Firstly with the shopping carts, she stated that the company as a whole has approved the usage of GateKeeper Systems for there shopping carts, to prevent people from stealing them off store property. They are just waiting on the property manager's approval so that they can install the lines throughout the lot. Secondly, they don't currently have hand baskets but she stated she will bring it up to her boss (upper management) and see if she can get hand baskets brought back to Food Maxx. Thirdly, she stated that I am right and I shouldn't have to be waiting in long lines when shopping here. She said she will be implementing more registers open and they are working on having monthly cashier meetings to make sure there is more than 1-2 lines open. Appreciate that she took the time to respond to feedback given via the FoodMaxx Survey.

    Great bakery located inside Island Pacific!…read more We're always excited to see new bakeries pop up (especially Filipino bakeries) since we've mainly grown up with Goldilocks and Red Ribbon. I saw someone talk about this bakery on social media and was already noticing how pretty it was due to the outside decorations. The first time I visited, I bought so many different things for myself and for my family so that we can all try it out. I bought a few snacks and a few different breads and split them up between each household because I definitely could not finish them all on my own. The pricing was reasonable, the only issue I really had was that some of the items we bought already started molding the next day. Not sure if they should have been in the fridge, but it was just a little unfortunate that I had to throw some away so soon. I do want to come back again to try some of the hot food that they have behind the counter.

    This panaderia has so much to offer…read more The first item I have tried from here was their ube pie - it was flavorful. I also liked their pandesal... crunchy on the outside, a little airy and soft inside, close to the pandesal I would have when I was young back in the Philippines. Their bibingka is tasty and a little chewy. Good chewy, as if it has some mochi flour. Above all... I love their "scramble". I have tried all 3 flavors, but my favorite is the Ube one.

Immediately upon entry, you can see the huge display of neatly arranged donuts, malasadas, and pastries and they all look amazing! So many flavors to choose from that it was a little overwhelming. As others have said, the price point is around $5.50 per piece so have that in mind going in. Ordering was simple enough and servers were kind and patient. Parking is maximum 3 hours and there are some tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy your goodies. Overall, I think I'm still going to stay loyal to Doughweime in Union City, but these malasadas do live up to the hype. Everything bagel malasada: Surprisingly really good, a light cream cheese filling with everything bagel seasoning on the outside. And the texture of the savory donut was crispy and airy. 9/10 Strawberry cream malasada: Kind of plain, would've been good with strawberry bits inside. 7/10 Biscoff cream malasada: You can taste the real Biscoff crackers in the filling. 7.5/10

I haven't been here in a while, but yesterday I paid…read more$33+ (before tip) for four donuts - that means if I had gotten a dozen, it would've been $100.

Two very kind ladies noticed us looking at the ice cream cakes and took the time to offer a few recommendations. We decided on the Oreo vanilla ice cream cake, and it completely exceeded expectations. Super creamy, rich without being too sweet, and packed with Oreo flavor in every bite. I've had plenty of ice cream cakes before, and this one was easily better than anything I've had at Baskin-Robbins. The texture was smoother, the flavors tasted fresher, and there was none of that overly processed dry cake texture. Perfect for celebrations or just as a treat. I'll definitely be coming back for another one; probably gonna try the mango fresh cake next.

Both the sweet and savory pies are delicious, and I like that they rotate their menu with a mix of classic and more unique flavors. It makes it fun to keep coming back and trying something new. Some of my favorites over time have been the chocolate chess, cheeseburger, and berry custard pies. All very different, but all really good in their own way. Would recommend this spot to anyone looking for pie!! There are honestly not a lot of places around that you can get crafted pies from, so I think they fill a niche market here - a market that I am certainly a part of.

Tastes like how a pot pie should be. It was great on the go since I was chowing it down while driving to my next destination. I got some slices for myself to try, French silk chocolate was good. Unfortunately, it was melting (my bad) when I finally got to eat it. Chocolate whole pie for others. Got other slices for friends to try and they enjoyed it. Pandan had a nice flavor, they don't use extract which is even better. Lemon chess was good - great lemon flavor and creamy. Will need to get French silk again to eat it as soon as possible or keep in fridge when ready to eat, haha.

Not only are you able to purchase from their bakery case, you can also request to have desserts made for special events! (In advance of course.) I very much enjoy their macarons and fresh fruit tarts. They also added Banana Matcha to their menu when it became a craze, and I 10/10 would recommend it. They use high quality matcha powder (Marukyu Koyamaen) for their drinks. This is one of the few things that drew me into their cafe. The baristas are extremely friendly and have a wonderful sense of humor, AND they support small businesses! While you wait for your order, you can browse their shelf full of crystal candies, matcha sets, candles, and they may also have Natsume matcha tins available!

If you are interested Union City and need a dessert fix it an easy in and out stop. Tip- Morning visits offer the widest selection and the freshest buns.
