    This is a great shaws supermarket! With great things and just being great. This is a great…read moresupermarket! When you enter the area. You see the appealing looks of the store. Like the iconic tan color. And blue in the pharmacy! And the decorations are quite nice! Like the unique tree in the main room. And the encouragement photos near the bathroom! And the staff is great! They're really chatty and polite! My only complaint is that the pulse checker is quite iffy! When you start the pulse check. It binds way too tightly around your arm! It even hurts it! And the check takes so long! So the pain ensues! And the results were inaccurate! All of my friends got results like a pulse of 64 and 42. And we all got prehypertension! Overall. This is a quite decent grocery store! If you want a great place for shopping. Go here!

    Don't use the pick up service! I used to love this store but the last several months the employees…read morehave been a joke. They grab cheaper items and charge the price of the more expensive brand. Today was just as ridiculous. I just picked up my order and my onions were all rotten, my 6-pack of English muffins only had 5 English muffins (its obvious it's an opened pack. gross did you guys eat one while packing my groceries?), and one item was missing completely. When I tried to go through the prompts in the app for a refund it doesn't even work. This whole order just grosses me out. I regret ordering from them. They tamper with the food and prices.

    I stumbled into this place a few days ago looking for something they didn't have... don't even…read morerecall what it was now... but found happiness! Cheeses and beer are what I left with, but I'm passing back thru Machias tomorrow and plan to stock up on more cheese and not sure what else. Worth just stopping in if you're in the area. A beautiful place to browse and dream. So glad it's there!

    When I came home to visit this summer, I was at first disappointed to learn that the Sow's Ear was…read moreno longer around. But then upon learning that it was replaced with wine (and not Sutter Home/Franzia/Night Train), my disappointment evaporated. Not what you'd expect to see in Machias (especially not for very long), where Natty Light and The Beast reign as the preferred beverages....but the owners aren't doing it to turn a profit, they're doing it for the love of it. We got to chat with them for a little bit and that was nice to learn. They have tons of wonderful wines from around the world here (even some from Virginia....wtf?) and my husband and I were able to satisfy our wine snobbery even in the outer reaches of downeast Maine during our stay thanks to these guys. They have a lovely Spanish grenache as well as a crisp Pouilly-Fuisse that we pretty much lived off of. In addition, they have lots of excellent specialty cheeses to offer, and will give you samples to try while you shop. Prices are basically what we're used to for California (the previous reviewer mentioned that they're probably a little steep for Machias and I'd have to agree) but definitely worth it when the next best shit in town is the Bogle available at Hannaford.
