The shelves are barely stocked, no matter when you shop. Help is non existent...it seems this store main priority is Pick up / delivery orders... You ask them a question and they get annoyed like your asking for a dollar. Produce is poor quality or out of stock. Cashiers ?? Crickets. Expect to do self check out. Customer Service dept ... will make you wait... they are too busy scanning and doing online orders.. There's no shopping carts because they are outside in the cart corral, spilling onto the parking lot. Im certain other locations are better.

Sadly I can't say I was impressed enough that I'd ever return. The guy by the door was very pleasant and greeted everyone! The other employees weren't giving that same energy.

All stores are not alike, even if they are owned by the same company. I usually do my shopping at…read moreHarris Teeter in Park Potomac. But, I was really close to this store on Copley Place and decided to pop in. For me, this location was a bit confusing. I am sure if I shopped here more often I would probably get used to the aisles and grocery items. The people who work there were as nice as could be. They pointed me in the right direction and one person, even walked me over to the aisle I was looking for. Unfortunately, this store was out of both items I was shopping for. I did find a few things I needed. But, as I came up to the counter, I saw the cherry tomatoes that I picked up, were rotting at the bottom. So, I gave them back to the person working there. I hate to compare, but I really don't think this store is as clean as the one I usually shop at. So, given that they were out of stock for the items I usually buy and the item I picked up was spoiled. I probably won't be coming back to this Harris Teeter. It is such a shame, because my last review, was 10 years ago, but they had such promise.

Honestly, five stars for a clean and easily accessible restroom. While driving home to D.C. from…read moreGaithersburg, I had to pee sooooooo bad. I couldn't wait.

It's banana bread cake layered with banana cream on one layer & cheesecake on the other layer, with caramel & whipped cream on the top. One would think that it would be overly sweet, but it really wasn't. Everything is handmade. They also have banana pudding, strawberry short cake, chocolate on chocolate layered cake carrot cake red velvet ect.

They have really competitive pricing and have a bigger selection of goodies than other stores. The produce section always has fresh diverse options. Meat and bakery departments also a favorite as they have good cut selections and baked items. The rest of the store is huge with plenty of organic options. Lots of self check out spots and check stands that are actually staffed with people. It's a calm chill place which is nice and not chaotic like going to Walmart or Aldi. Definitely prefer shopping here when I can. Would recommend this place.

Some were good, others were just okay. Here is what I got: CHINESE BROCCOLI - some were long, and others seemed like they were already cut short. I don't know if that is how it is normally sold. Goya PLANTAIN CHIPS - the chips were light overall, but slightly salty. I still enjoyed it. 80% COCONUT WATER WITH PULP - I enjoyed this, but I am not sure I would get it again. I couldn't find a brand on the can and some of the wording said to chill before drinking, but yet it was stocked on a shelf. I may just stick to a brand I know, next time. I also got another juice - Mogu Mogu LYCHEE JUICE with bits of the fruit in the drink, but found that the lychee bits were going down my throat quicker than I had a chance to eat them (not sure I'll get that again even though I enjoyed the drink). BUTTER CREAM BREAD - even though I liked this, it was not as soft. I got one or two other items, but I'll probably get them elsewhere next time due to the high price. Overall, I saw so many flavors and varieties of things. The place stayed busy. I would probably go back again, but with the same friend, and maybe pay more attention to details. It was my first time going to this type of store.

Going downhill. Carts are old and rusty. Store is cramped. No real hot food option (quality and…read morevariety both declining). Seafood section smelled fishy (compared to 99 Ranch and Whole Foods). The upside is they stock fresh kumquat, that's a rare find. The prepared food section: They have only one pot of tofu stew believe it or not (it's the mainstay of Korean food). The place just looked sad and not well stocked. Not many snack options either.

As the name suggests, there are specialty food items from all over Europe. While I saw some things like English teas, German cookies, and a few Greek items, it seemed like the majority of the offerings were from Eastern Europe. I think over half of the products had labels in Cyrillic alphabet with no translation on them in any fashion, so some things you just gotta know what it is or ask the staff. I saw a lot of things from Georgia and Ukraine, but I think I saw other products from that region (Russian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, etc.). The staff were very friendly, and cheerfully assisted me with some of the pastries we purchased. One had a nice balance of flaky pastry and fruit filling while the blintzes seemed a bit underwhelming. I also picked up a bottle of dessert wine and Children #1 and #2 picked out some candies that caught their eye. The inside is clean and somewhat small but easy to navigate. There is music playing (I don't know what language; I want to say Russian but in today's climate that could be a charged statement. Just want to say it positively adds to the vibe). Worth checking out, if you want to explore a product you might not otherwise be exposed to or if you want to find a specialty European item that you've been missing.

This hasn't been the case recently, and particularly today when I was spoken to very rudely and dismissed with the words 'call you Doctor'!! I was calling with questions regarding a new RX that did have any information or instructions included. The question was simple and something I need to know prior to taking one of the tablets. TOTALLY reconsidering not only this pharmacy, but this Giant as well. Unlikely I'll get a response or satisfaction based on chronic rudeness and dismissive behavior. Only doing the most perfunctory job of customer service. I no longer recommend.

The food court has several different stores; I went to the one near the dining tables that has entrees and combo plates. I went on the recommendation of my mechanic who is from Taiwan. The cashier told me up front what the menu items were that they did not have. I ordered the noodle soup with egg noodles and roast pork. It was a decent size portion with lots of roast pork, bok choy and thin egg noodles in what tasted like chicken broth. The dining area is communal tables where you share space with other diners like many Asian restaurants. It is a space for a good, cheap, quick meal not a place where you would linger. I will go back for a combo meal; I didn't see them until I had already ordered. The meals started at $7.99.

The one difference this time, they put up the glass border, we no longer able to self serve our own fish, instead you take a number, waiting to be called and they ask what you wanted. I honestly prefer it that way too! And last but not least, dim sum, and hot food bar located in the food court on the back. Would come here occasionally to pick up items from there during lunch time.

They are priced so reasonably. I love their snack section and I load up on nuts, dried fruits, chips, pretzels and cookies. You can't go wrong with Trader Joe's snacks. I also buy their muffins and breads. They have a sourdough bread that is amazing. The scones are really good too. Don't forget the lemon cookies, they taste like lemon meringue pie. Yum! The store is clean, well organized, and well stocked. If they don't have a product you need, they will let you know when it is coming in. Great food and excellent selection, fabulous employees, good prices, why would you go anywhere else?

The checkout attendant was very sweet and helpful. She even held my order, when I ran out to my car, to get my phone. I needed to scan the Prime code marker. The bakery had scrumptious baked goods. I treated myself to a bagel and a sugar cookie. I also picked up a loaf of bread, which was delicious. The store needs a lot of attention in the deli and salad bar areas.
