Parking: the lot is small but I always find a spot towards back of the lot. The tasting section in Trader Joe's is very nice. The tasting section staff member is always a wonderful conversationalist, very engaging. Store has semi wide aisles, nicely decorated and signs in store sharing prices. For brunch I was pleased to buy all items for under $20: Charles Shaw wine, Kale and Broccoli salad, Vanilla Cake and Cookies. My favorite item was the cake! I can't wait to try all the cake flavors.

The produce makes up a lot of the store's inventory, so be sure to get some of this. Before it was pretty common for grocery stores to be independent. It's getting to be like these are all chains, but not at this one. This market is committed to the local community, and helps introduce unfamiliar items to people. A long time business in the community. It opened in 2004 at this location. A few hard to find specialties like Caribbean, Latin, and West African ingredients can be found. They also have hot food service. Has quite a lot inside. It's located on Morse Avenue at Greenview and is popular with many people. They make a lot of the prepared foods made to order, so it's fresh, and there's a good selection of meats and vegetables.

Sometimes they have good sales on particular items, such as produce that's overripe. I really love their selection of prepared foods, both entrees and bakery items. Their tiramisu "Greco traditional style" is some of the best tiramisu I've ever had!! Yes, their recently implemented "bag policy" is somewhat of a hassle, but I imagine they are such a small store that theft is actually an issue. Therefore they are trying to keep their profit margins in the black and I get that! They always have homeless people outside the store, many of whom I now know by name, who are just trying to get something to eat (and they do, from me and other neighbors), but it's still a liability for the store if someone steals from them. This isn't Walmart, i don't condone thieving from local markets!

But my brother, a loyal Mariano's customer, insisted that I come here to fill my mother's prescription. I called yesterday morning to confirm that they have the medications we need in stock, and Cody was kind enough to answer my questions. I arrived later in the afternoon and had the pleasure of meeting the nice young man. I am very grateful to have had the chance to thank him in person. He filled my order on the spot while I waited for less than 20 minutes. Let's be honest, there seems to be a lack of empathy these days for some odd reason. It doesn't cost you a thing to be kind.

So much wasteful plastic. There's less fair trade-organic-locally sourced groceries, and really they seem just as short-staffed as any other chain supermarket, only with higher prices. Maybe it's just this one, but it feels really cramped.

Along with seeing what else is offered, I visited Food4Less - Evanston because I discovered and…read moretook a liking to a box of Jimmy Dean - Blueberry Griddle Cake Sausage, Egg, and Cheese sandwiches which I found at this location. As for this visit, I had no issues finding a parking spot to park my vehicle. The parking lot was less congested in comparison to a Food4Less location I visit in Melrose Park off-and-on due to it being the closest to where I frequent. The atmosphere inside felt relaxed, a very chill vibe! Other than that, I must say that it was a break shopping here in comparison to a Jewel-Osco, Pete's Fresh Market, Mariano's, or even Walmart which I off-and-on shop at. Now along with the shelved items being organized, the market is acceptably clean, and the aisles have plenty of maneuvering space in between them. And like other Food4Less locations, it has that warehouse-like appearance. I particularly searched for the box of Jimmy Dean - Blueberry Griddle Cake Sausage, Egg, and Cheese sandwiches, and either apple or orange juice which I found without any assistance needed. While shopping, other items shelved I took a liking to were a box of Jimmy Dean - Maple Griddle Cake Sausage, Egg, and Cheese sandwiches, a box of MorningStar Farms - Sweet BBQ Riblets, Granola Bars Chewy - Cookies & Creme, Oreo - Dirt Cake Flavor Creme Chocolate Cookies, and the Oreo - Star Wars Flavor Creme Chocolate Cookies edition which I will definitely look into trying at some point. While in line, waiting to be rang up by David B, the cashier, I could not resist giggling at the customer to cashier interaction which certainly put me at ease and in good spirits post shopping at this Food4Less. For the most part, I enjoyed shopping at Food4Less - Evanston, but I just cannot see myself shopping at this particular location on a regular basis due to it being out of my way. However, if in the area and in need of grocery shopping, I would more than likely return. ~Keep it simple. ~ Thomas G

Do you all know that Kroger once tried to buy Albertsons? I'm not sure if this is still in progress…read moreor not, only that at this point I really hope it doesn't go through. I don't love monopolies, unless I am winning at the board game. So I look up cheap grocery stores, and other than Aldi, Food4Less came up. I found one not too far away from me and decided to venture up there. I walked through the doors and some of the first merchandise I see has the Kroger logo. Go figure. Where it comes to this specific grocery store, variety is one of the items that cost it points Their selection was fair, but the deli department is notably small, and there is no visible butcher shop (though there are meats and seafood for sale). You can more or less find everything you would need among these notably very wide aisles, but perhaps some items would require one to go elsewhere. Among the items they had, the store appeared clean and well stocked. When it comes to their prices, while nothing is cheap anymore, especially in Chicagoland, I found their prices were a little lower than average, especially for the eggs. When it comes to the customer service, this could also be a little bit better. While there was no one at the customer service desk, it had a little sign that said that this register is closed. So... if you need to return something or if a price isn't right, what then? You're just out of luck or something? I'd also like to note that this is a place where you bag your own groceries. Not a problem, necessarily, just thought I'd put it out there. Thus, while I appreciate the lower prices, the slightly limited selection and the lack of customer service cost Food4Less a couple points. Still respectable though, and I can still see myself coming back on occasion.
