    yellow-chocolate marble cake with fresh strawberries and whip cream frosting ~ yum!
    gale l.

    Since I ordered the original cake, the store has gone through some changes. I really like the staff at the pharmacy, they work really hard and seem way too busy and maybe they should add more staff so the ones there aren't so stressed. Stressed pharmacy workers sounds like a recipe for a mistake, to me. As for the bakery I am not sure what they changed, but the last two cakes we picked up from there were very far and away from the cute designs I received before. I feel like they changed their recipe or something, because they have been a lot drier than I remember. I don't know if they stopped using, or perhaps never used syrup to keep decorated cakes tender, but something is different now. The cakes I bought recently were not ones I would serve guests. I'm pretty sad I might have to go elsewhere.

    We carefully picked a "good" time to drop in here for the first time in well over a decade, mainly…read moreto see what the fuss was about with Jerry's. The wife says we came here once before many years ago but I don't remember it.  They've been at it here for 53 years since 1972. Normally, we avoid it due to the madhouse scene that is usually here (like when traffic can't even enter the parking lot from busy Milwaukee Ave because the parking lot is overflowing lol).  Well, it was -3F on a frigid Friday night and we were across Milwaukee Ave at the Jewel, and it was eerily quiet in Jewel, and we thought it was as good a time as any to also visit Jerry's lol. Well, it was relatively calm, and we found a close by parking spot, but there were still plenty of shoppers in Jerry's.  Their inventory is huge and truly impressive as are their prices.  No wonder this place is so super popular.  We picked up some cherries for $2.49 per lb and strawberries at a promo price of $0.79 per 1 lb container.  I would say 4.5 stars for our visit tonight, but really on their normal super-crowded shopping basis, I would still say 3 stars overall.  I don't personally think the hassle factor of shopping here for fruits and vegetables is worth it for the savings and the variety of offerings, thus the 2 star deduct.  But you have to decide for yourself, and apparently for many others, Jerry's is well worth the trip, and kudos to Jerry's for that and continued good luck and success to them.

    So it's been over a decade since I've originally reviewed Jerry's, and here we are 13 years and 7…read moredays later and it's about time to update the review. Jerry's is still a gem of a produce store. They still maintain overall the cheapest produce you can find anywhere, and carry some unique produce you might not be able to find at other grocery stores. They also carry a decent variety of breads and pitas, desserts, and canned goods. The good value does come with a price though, as most of the time you'll be battling crowds of people while inside the store. Over the last decade I've definitely learned the times to avoid: Weekends and Wednesdays. Wednesdays I think they might have some sort of senior discount but it's also when they rotate their produce deals and the new weekly specials start. Though they have ample parking in the lots north and south of the store and along Milwaukee, during peak times it will be PACKED. I say avoid by going when they open or even after dinner as they're open pretty late. I find Mondays and Tuesdays to be a little less packed usually. Also, usually they have an entrance facing both North and South but the past few years during the winter time they've only had the South entrance open, I imagine to protect from the cold.

Out of all the years I've shopped here, there were only a couple times they didn't have something in stock that I wanted. I have to credit this place for curbing my need to going out to eat. Why?

If you have a decent recipe or already know what you need, you can make it at home for a fraction of the cost of what your local resto charges. Maybe you just want some frozen dumplings, instant ramyeon, & snacks to go with your new k-drama obsession. This place has it ALL. Everything is organized well, aisles are clean, & there isn't an overwhelming smell of spices & seafood. You can browse the aisles to some k-pop & have a pleasant shopping experience. Also, bonus points for the kitchen section. I bought a new wok here with a lid that I've been really happy with. Definitely shop here for all your Asian foods. Their service, quality, & pricing is unmatched!

The checkers are FAR too "chatty" with every single customer, when most of us simply want to get in and out. Great cart policy with regard to return and retrieval.

The original receipt shows the weight as 0.59 lb, but the refund receipt shows the same item weighing 0.67 lb. Because of this change in weight, the refund was only $0.28 instead of the $0.59 difference I should have received. The store manager explained that the cashier's scale was inaccurate and that the manager's scale was the correct one. I would appreciate it if someone with experience in retail weighing systems could explain how the weight of the same item can increase from 0.59 lb to 0.67 lb during a refund transaction. In addition, if you shop at this store, I strongly recommend checking expiration dates carefully before purchasing items. I have found expired products on the shelves more than once.

There is only one place where you can enter this store, and even when I was here around 5pm on a Thursday this created a backup. To add insult to injury the doors are enter or exit only doors (though I can't remember if there's a barrier between them--so maybe you can fudge it). Other than that, standard Whole Foods. They have an Amazon return counter on the side opposite of the entrance (since that's the least convenient place they could have put it for people making returns, I can only assume it was by design and they're hoping that people will do some shopping whilst they're in there). At that end there is a single exit-only door right by the Amazon counter, so you can avoid temptation by leaving there.
