Graul's is a local supermarket chain with two locations in Anne Arundel County…read more I love the one on Taylor Ave in Annapolis because it has a large selection of grocery, deli, and hot bar items. Even better and my personal fav is the wide selection of cake slices that cost $5 per slice which is a bargain given how big each slice is! If you're looking for a little lunch and dessert this is the place to go.

There's a great variety of items, and their bakery is one of my favorites. The staff is consistently friendly and courteous, and checkout is usually quick, which makes every visit easy. They almost always have exactly what I need. The only thing I wish is that they offered online ordering with curbside pickup--it would make the experience even better. Overall, I definitely recommend them!

Exceptional Cut, Friendly Service -- Perfect for an extra special dinner…read more I stopped by recently to pick up a standing rib roast for our New Year's Day dinner and left genuinely impressed. The roast was on sale for $11.99 (regularly $18.99) -- a fantastic deal -- and the young man who helped me did an excellent job selecting a fresh, well-marbled piece. He kindly prepared and packed it with care, which made the whole experience smooth and pleasant. They probably have the best selections of meats around. After roasting at home, the meat tasted amazing: juicy, rich, and perfectly tender -- everything you want from a standing rib roast. The store itself is consistently clean, staff are mostly friendly and attentive, and the quality of both meats and produce is reliably fresh. Highly recommend this place if you want great cuts and solid service without breaking the bank ... just keep an eye out for their sales.

I love to stop into a local Trader Joe's whenever I'm visiting a new city. Luckily, I was in…read moreAnnapolis, Maryland today and was fortunate to find this large Trader Joe's location. It's so clean and spacious! I've found that Trader Joe's takes time to keep their stores well stocked and organized, and this location stands true. I was limited on time, but I picked up some favorite treats and some new recommendations, too. Looking forward to trying the Authentic Lemon Curd, Coconut Cashew Candy Clusters, and the Strawberry Brioche Style Liege Waffles! I've heard great reviews! I was also thrilled to see the 8 gal. lavender purple insulted bag, and not only the regional Maryland state reusable bag, but also the regional Delaware state reusable bag to add to my TJ bag collection! Score! My cashier (W, Jordan per my receipt) was a friendly young man who was helpful in pointing out the 'Diamond State' Delaware reusable bag when I told him I wanted to also purchase a couple of bags with my treats. I like how TJ's offers the reusable bag for adjacent states. Perfect for collectors like myself. I'm grateful to my cashier for taking time to properly bag my new treats. Thank you, Trader Joe's for employing thoughtful, knowledgeable, and helpful staff.

The…read moredensity of customers is overwhelming no matter what time of day, or what day of the week you go. Don't go with the intention to find any of your favorite TJ products because they're probably out of stock. What used to be a great trip w great food has turned into an anxiety fueled nightmare where i leave with an empty basket. It's not the employees fault, we need another/more TJ's. I slowly have stopped shopping here because of how stressful it is.

Jennifer helped me fix an online sign in issue I was having with my pick up order. During the recent ice storm we were unable to get out of our driveway to pick up our order , I called Jennifer and she voluntered to bring our order to us after her shift ended.

WOW! How have I not known about this place? No, it's not in the best part of town, and it's on…read morethe back side of a strip mall, so if you don't know it's there you might miss it. And honestly, we were looking for "Anita's Spanish Grocery", which I'm still not sure if it's this place or not, just under a different name (the address is listed as 1900 Fairfax, and there's a sign in the parking lot for it, but I never saw a store with this name on it). But either way, I'm glad we found this place. I had just finished a less than satisfactory dinner with a date (check out my review for Mexican Cafe), and they had a hot sauce that he just loved that the server told him he could find at this place, so we went off in search of it. And we found it, and so much more! The butcher shop in the back has all kinds of fresh meats and seafood, including fresh chorizo (yum!). Lots of fresh produce, tortillas, cheeses, sauces...you name it, it's here. And the prices are very reasonable, lower than what you'd find in most large supermarkets. We were fortunate enough to run into a gentleman who was doing some shopping who said he's a chef at a local restaurant, and he made some great suggestions (thanks Luis!) I will definitely be going back to this place any time I'm in the mood to make some good Mexican food.

Whether I need a good caldero for cooking arroz or a colador for my cafe con leche, this place has…read moreeverything you need.

I wish I knew about this place sooner. It's absolutely worth…read morethe drive from DC, especially if you want to spend the day out east. It's PACKED first thing in the morning so be prepared. You can find dry goods, fresh produce, burger counters, deli, prepared foods from fresh donuts (the best apple, blueberry and peach fritters ever), to pretzel logs, fried chicken, barbecue, to smoothies and frappes. Not to mention the insane bakery section in the middle of the store with fresh bread, pies, cakes, muffins, bagels, even gluten free baked goods as well. It's a fun place to spend a bunch of time just perusing all they have to offer. It's busy and noisy and the lines can be long, so just be ready for that. Bring cash as some vendors offer lower prices if you pay in cash instead of with a card. Take your goods and drive the short way to a park or the beach for the best morning!

Get here early!! This place is insanely busy for a reason…read more It's wonderful! We have tried a little of everything here since we moved to Maryland but the donuts are the best. The veggies are beautiful, bakery items are fresh, and the cooked meals are a great price. You honestly can't beat the prices for most items. Parking is ample but it's a bit cramped inside. Overall this is a great place to get truly homemade everything. The Amish folks work hard to make goods that scream pride. People come from all over to be here so remember, get here EARLY.

The Shrimp is Guilty…read more The shrimp made me sick Last night. It was midnight, your honor, When I awoke. Not pleasant at all We are both guilty, your honor, He for surviving long enough after Being separated from his home and family Still anxiously waiting for him Frozen then sent across the world inside A container inside a plane Unceremoniously shoved into A plastic bag with complete strangers And sent to Whole Foods, A store I'm embarrassed to say That I shop in, where innocently And without malice, he waited. And I innocently and without malice purchased said shrimp, your honor Where he sat for a week or so in my freezer Probably thinking what the hell Until I finally decided to cook him along With seven of his compatriots in a dish I found on the internet called Easy Mediterranean Shrimp I live alone and spend a lot of time Looking at recipes online, your honor A pasttime I highly recommend over watching Inane shows on Netflix or YouTube videos Which I believe are the main cause for The loss of civility in today's culture I only ate part of the dish (it serves 4) Even alone I don't want to be seen as greedy Though it was quite tasty and I could have Eaten another serving. I mean who would know, your honor That being said, I am asking for compensation For my suffering and that of all sea creatures Who have suffered along with me And you, your honor We are all guilty Poem by Susan Stalick (5 stars for Whole Foods for reimbursing me for the frozen shrimp.

My husband and I stopped by Whole Foods for a few groceries. Because we had parked on the lower…read morelevel, he took the escalator back to our car, while I used the stairs. When his cart arrived below it fell over, thus causing him to fall on top of the cart. Because there is no way for a customer to stop the escalator at the bottom, the woman directly behind him and her cart fell on top of my husband! We all yelled "help" to stop the stairs. While employees did come to our assistance--and fortunately no one was injured--I discovered upon returning to the store the following: Tostop the escalator if there is a mishap, an employee (if they are within earshot) can come down the stairs and turn a key. When I expressed my dismay to the manager, Cynthia, I was told me there was "nothing she could do about it" and "no one got hurt anyway". Her attitude was dismissive and almost argumentative. I replied I wanted to speak with her directly to put better safety standards in place, rather than post on social media. She replied, "People can post whatever they want." I do not believe this level of customer service is anywhere near acceptable. The escalator is a potential danger. Escalators that carry groceries only (such as those in Target) are far safer. Had the Whole Foods escalator been full, many people--including seniors and children--could have been injured. This is a safety hazard that management should address with concern and empathy--not just dismiss.

I was already in the parking lot so I decided to go in and check anyway. I love the fact their stores have fresh bakeries! The smell of fresh bread or croissants baking always makes me want to grab a dozen. I didn't because I only take them when they're fresh off the rack so I searched the store for a snack and didn't find anything. I did find my rosemary plant I was looking for so I was happy I decided stop although they said they were sold out. It doesn't appear to be in the best of shape but I feel like with a little extra tlc, it will be good to go. Wish me luck lol I think I just had good timing with when I visited because the store wasn't very full and there was no one in check out so my check out was extremely quick. Cashier was very friendly, rung me up, and jokingly asked if I needed a bag.
