Still a great TJ's with a good amount of parking and always a good stock of items…read more Everyone is so nice here, & it's the best place to go when it's super hot outside. This last time I got the new TJ POG drinks(passion fruit, orange, and guava). I love the passion fruit tarts here. I also love the dog treats here for my picky pup.

Our first visit to Trader Joe's was outstanding. From the moment we walked in, the team made us…read morefeel welcome. Twice, we asked staff on the floor for help finding items--and both times they didn't just point us in the right direction, they personally walked us over and made sure we found exactly what we needed. That level of service is rare. At checkout, the cashier was genuinely friendly and engaging, which added to the overall experience. We also had an unfortunate moment where we accidentally dropped a bottle and it broke. We felt terrible but the staff handled it with kindness and professionalism, immediately putting us at ease without making us feel uncomfortable. That kind of customer care leaves a lasting impression. You've definitely won us over we'll be back. Five stars honestly don't feel like enough for a first experience like this.

I'm OK to pay Snake River Farms pricing for the product I expect., however time and again this shop under delivers. From a very large, multi bone prime rib to the a prime strip... Somehow they miss the mark, and this has been over a multitude visits. The Steak rub & the meatballs I've purchased in the past, and some of the other things are really very nice... But when it comes to looking for a high-quality, juicy, cut, I have not yet had one turn out as expected Sorry guys.

Can we talk about the cheese room? it's one of the largest in Florida and also my favorite place…read moreever! They have over 300 artisanal, imported and domestic cheeses, I find something new every time I go! The ambiance is what makes it special to locals, it feels like stepping into a traditional Italian market and it's hard to find elsewhere in Tampa. Definitely a staple for St. Pete! The market is almost always busy, so go right when they open or later in the afternoon on weekdays or you'll be standing shoulder to shoulder and wait 15 to 30 minutes, but honestly that time is perfect for browsing everything! My go to orders are the Mortadella Pistachio and the Fig & Pig. They are $12 each, and yes a bit pricey but the freshness and quality make it worth it.

Wow! What a fun place to check out. There's ample parking. A lot of photo ops outside, some picnic…read moretables. So much bustle. So many people. You walk in and Theres a check out area. A fresh produce, meat, fish, sausage, pickled olives, section. You walk further down and Theres the grab and go food section. Then to the left you have wine and cheese. You go further in, and Theres a fancy cheese section. Unfortunately they don't give small amounts of cheeses and cut it for you. But you can buy some really good cheeses here. Then you go back to the very narrow hallway, and Theres a ton of coffee on the left. I just got into coffee and am a coffee snob. I noticed there was a "greasy" looking bean. Which just means it's well past its freshness. The price of bean actually isnt that bad. And they offer a lot of varieties. We bought two, Guatemala and organic Mexico. I wanted to try it out before writing this review. The Guatemala one was light, faint. The Mexico was a bit deeper flavor. I would recommend to management to better advertise the coffee bean so the product moves and stays fresh, or maybe move it to a different section where people can feel comfortable getting it. It gets so crowded in the hallway. I would leave the hallway was a grab and go area. You keep walking down and you have the coffee shop to the right, and a small bread stand to the left. Of course we got coffee. Theres a small area of seating to get coffee for there. Theres a big roaster to give the appearance that they roast their own coffee but I believe it's just for decoration. Fiancé got a cappuccino. It was okay. He normally doesn't get coffee with too much milk but the waitress said there was 3 shots of espresso in there. I would say it didn't taste like 3 shots. It taste like coffee with 90% milk. And it should be told to customers that a cappuccino there is more milk with coffee. I got the con panno. Which is espresso with whipped cream. I'm not sure if the whip cream they use is fresh, or if it's super sweetened, but my coffee was sweet. It was thick which I like but I didn't like whatever sweetener they used. But I'd probably order a macchiato if I ever came back so I could taste the coffee. On the other side of the coffee shop is the sandwiches and prepared food that you order. Sandwiches are HUGE. Fiancé had the #1 with all the fixings. It was nice but if you don't like soggy sandwiches, you can ask for no veggies. Which we would do next time. I had the 7, no sun-dried tomatoes and no veggies. It was so good. The mozzerella was very fresh! If you walk past that you have the dried cured meat, and down a hallway to the right you'll find dried pasta and fresh pasta. The fresh pasta looked so good. I wished we lived in the area so I could try. You head back the other way and pass the outdoor seating and Theres also a place for you to check out you grocery/sandwiches. Right next to that section you have the pantry area of canned fish, pickled things, olive oil. Then Theres the bread and pastry area. We only had time to see these and no time to see what other stores they had or walk around. But I'd definitely come back to check those out.

Quirky little local market with some of the best poke in town. Probably one of the best deals going…read morefor poke too - a small bowl (1 protein) is $9.99! And it's loaded with toppings, they definitely don't skimp. I went with the tuna and it was super fresh and went well with the sushi rice base, mango, edamame, cucumbers, and masago. My mom had greens as her base and my sister had the noodles, both of which were good, although my dad's brown rice wasn't fully cooked so it was a bit crunchy.

While I love Aldi, unfortunately this "mall" location is my least favorite…read more The store is new and huge, with very spacious aisles and plenty of room to move around. It's also the cleanest Aldi I have ever been in. Like most Aldi locations, this store offers many unique items and lot of ways to stretch your food budget with discount prices. There are 2 big reasons why I dislike this Aldi... It may be the most crowded Aldi I have ever visited, even during non-peak hours. There are 2 other nearby Aldi locations I prefer that are far less busy. The parking lot is always PACKED. I most often have to park far away and still it is a hassle to navigate leaving here, while others are hoping to get my parking spot. So while this is an excellent store, I will just visit other locations that are less popular.

New Aldi! The weird part is it's in the Tyrone Square Mall. Never seen an Aldi in a mall…read more The aisles are definitely wider, & I can tell it has more space. I don't like how this Aldi's is set up backwards compared to mine. The restroom is straight ahead first aisle from the entrance to the back instead of being closer to the cash registers. There are a couple employees checking out and self check out. Definitely a nice new clean Aldi. Check it out while it is nice and new and smells new too! Right now they have Rose stems to plant for 8.49 and some flower bulbs. That's what caught my eye rather than the food. Just got a case of water for 3.29 which is the cheapest compared to other places.

From a great little wine collection, beers, smokes, groceries and fresh sandwiches to meats to some veggies, even boiled peanuts or coffee. Great place if you're in a pinch. The staff or owner are always friendly and efficient. Really handy and needed in this area as the next closest shops are on 4th. The owner stocks it mainly with local items like salsa and chips yum! Convivence stores are usually pretty boring, and I would say outdated, this place offers a little bit of everything including charm a must place to support for a small business owner. I have also noticed amazon delivery boxes outside and on the weekends, I've seen a smoker so that's my next task lol see what's on the grill :).

At $8.99 each, the smoothies are made with clean, vegan ingredients, no added sugars, and 100% organic fruit. They're highly filling, delicious, and make a great post-workout drink. The staff making the smoothies had great energy and were very friendly. For the quality of ingredients and how satisfying they are, I'd say they're worth the price.

Although I wish they had online ordering for smoothies or cafe. They have electric vehicle charging outside for customers and a very nice underrated sitting area for visitors outside.

I decided to check out Fresh Market again. Yesterday morning…read moreon 5/19. I headed straight to the deli. Where I only waited for a couple of minutes. Until the customer ahead of me to finish up. The girl who waited on me was very SWEET and engaging. Which is ALWAYS AWESOME I decided to get a meal. I went with the eggplant, super salad, and the German potato salad. I ended up eating it last night. It was very delicious INDEED. Before I cashed out. I decided to go back to a bakery. Where the bulk cookies are. I bought some more raspberry Linzer cookies. Along with some wedding. cookies. They were so delicious as ALWAYS Enough so I ended up having to eat a cookie when I got to the car:) The ambiance in the store was very mellow. Nothing chaotic like the bigger stores can be. It was also a win-win. Because, I stayed under $15. Last March I spent twice that. But, it was worth penny I spent. Thanks, again Fresh Market. For another AWESOME experience.. I will definitely be coming back.
