Deceptively located sign.
Avid H.

I'm done with shopping here. I don't know how many times I have bought specially marked items and the price rings up incorrectly. Today I walked up to a huge display of pop, Pepsi, coke etc., with only 12 packs on display. It said $7.49 each buy 2 get 2 free. I took 4 and when checking out, they rang up $11.99 each and the 2 free were not there. I showed the sign to the employee who pointed out tiny letters saying it only applied to 6 packs 16.9 oz. So, why was this sign on a huge display of 12 packs with no 6 packs on sale displayed? Obviously, they are trying to fool folks who think they are dealing with an honest corporation. I've read how Kroger does these things. If you're going to shop there be careful and read the signs twice including the small print. See my pic.

I went to Mariano's in Arlington Heights to get a cake for my mother's and brother's birthday. This grocery store is a bit far from home, and I only go here if it's on the way. The birthday cake turned out great with the writing the way we wanted it. The chocolate frosting was a little salty, which I actually liked. The fudge center was very rich and dense. I loved it. The marble cake was a little dry but not horrible. The store is laid out in a way where it's easy to find things. I recommend Mariano's in Arlington Heights for their cakes and other fresh food.

The produce was not up to usual standards, and I could not find mini garlic toast...so I had to get some at Jewel to add to tje acquired mozzarella, roma tomatoes and basil ... man I was craving caprese crostini. God I love the smell of basil. Ahh. #FirstWorldProbs At least they carry "Melt" the best coconut spread in existence.

Expired meats

Been shopping Marion's for years went downhill after he sold out to big Corp store years ago then got little better under krogers but last few months it went rock bottom especially the meats .constantly go in and see brown and exp meats. Used go in and by 8am all expired meats gone now go in mid afternoon see this. Many good workers still Bakery excellent still and always fresh sushi . Deli salad case wonderful. Can't wait till piggy wiggly take over maybe they upgrade it

Customer Eating area is now a food dump swamp.

Eating area hasn't been clean since pre-covid. Its like eating in a homeless shelter.

With demand and supply, we now have a vast variety of Asian bakeries in the suburbs. However, we…read morecontinue to keep Pastry House Hippo on our revisit list because there are several baked goods that we thoroughly enjoy: melon pan, choco melon pan, cream pan, Doraemon, apple custard pan, and raisin bread. We recently diverged from our usuals and tried the sando with pork katsu. It had some shredded vegetable and ketchup-base sauce. I am indifferent to it but I am not opposed to trying the other savory items. We have gone on different days and times over the years. The shelves are almost always well-stocked. Sometimes we would have a brief wait for them to replenish the raisin bread loaves but it is the mister's favorite so it is worth it. The bakery staff are very friendly and quick so the lines are kept moving.

When I go to Mitsuwa, nine times out of ten I also stop by Pastry House Hippo, the cute Japanese…read morebakery located inside the grocery store. This has been my routine for decades, yet I just realized that I had never actually left a rating for it. What makes this bakery especially appealing is its soft, airy, and smooth bread and buns, which are handmade using ingredients sourced directly from Japan. My personal favorite is the red bean bun. While my sister loves their sandwiches and milk bread, which has an incredibly soft, fluffy, and moist texture. All of their bread and buns are made fresh daily. Many years ago, they even allowed their staff to take home any unsold sandwiches and bread at the end of the day! With increasing competition from newer Korean and Taiwanese bakeries, I hope Pastry House Hippo continues to stay competitive. As a self-serve bakery, it would be nice if the buns were individually wrapped, something many other bakeries already do, to help prevent contamination from careless customers. My most recent visit was on the second day of the new year, and I was happy to see the shop bustling with customers. I hope this little bakery continues to thrive for many years to come.

Jarosch Bakery recently moved into a new location, but it still has all of the same amazing flavors…read moreas before. The new location is in a brand-new building, and their coffee selection has expanded as well. Their butter cookies are the best I've ever had, and it's difficult to leave without a box. Sometimes I even buy two boxes--one to eat on the way home and another to share with my wife when I get there. They have delicious, fresh donuts every day, and I especially love the donut holes they sell on Fridays. I also love that they carry Ideal Bakery's kolaczki and some of their other products. They offer fresh bread that they can slice for you when you order, or you can take it home unsliced. The staff is extremely friendly and patient while taking your order, and they never make you feel rushed, even when there's a line of customers. I ordered a cake and a dessert table from them for a party, and they did an amazing job. Salma was incredibly helpful throughout the process, offering recommendations and assisting us with our order. She took the time to answer all of our questions and made the entire experience stress-free. Keep up the great work, Jarosch Bakery!

Jarosch Bakery is one of those classic, old-school bakeries that's been serving the Chicago suburbs…read morefor decades, and you can tell the moment you walk in. It has that traditional neighborhood bakery feel with display cases full of cookies, donuts, pastries, breads, and cakes. The bakery has been around since 1959 and is known for making many of its items from scratch, which really shows in the quality. Jarosch Bakery +1 The selection is impressive. Their butter cookies, coffee cakes, sweet rolls, and donuts are standouts, and everything looks fresh and carefully made. If you're picking up dessert for a gathering or ordering a custom cake for a celebration, this is the kind of bakery that has built a reputation for doing those things really well. The place can get busy, especially around holidays, but that's usually a good sign that people keep coming back. Prices are a bit on the higher side compared to grocery store bakeries, but the quality and traditional baking make it worth it. Overall, Jarosch Bakery is a great spot if you appreciate classic bakeries that focus on fresh, scratch-made pastries and desserts. It's the kind of place that feels like a local tradition.

I've been to this bakery several times. The selection is great, the service is outstanding, and…read moreeach product looks scrumptious. However, the past few times I've ordered from there, the products have been somewhat underwhelming. Got two kolaczki's and both were very dry. Also got a slice of German chocolate cake and it was dry, too sweet, and tasted old. The doughnuts are generally very good as well as the coffee cakes. But the pastries do not taste as good as they look behind the counter. I admit, I did arrive about 20 minutes before closing, but that should not affect the taste that much.

Small-local- not a chain- go support!!! For the pros: Great…read moreservice overall. The Black Forest cake was delicious and beautiful and they did an excellent job. Donuts, apple fritters, and eclairs were very tasty. The custards were yummy. Cons: Place was dead, not one customer to be found on a Saturday morning at 7:30am. Stop going to the chain coffee joints and try a small place that needs us. I preordered a little leas than $100 worth of cakes, pies, and pastries so I grabbed some of the cookies to make it $100. The butter cookies are $33 a lb. Ouch! As soon as you take a bite they fall apart and crumble everywhere. The kids didn't like the taste and didn't eat any of them, a waste of $12. No prices anywhere other than the boxed goods or coffee signs. 4% fee for using a credit card which I get, but have it posted better. Couple small signs I caught over by the fresh stuff saying price tags reflect cash price, but yet didn't see prices anywhere other than on shelves by boxed stuff. Have prices posted. French silk pie was very thick and not very chocolaty. No one really cared for it, def would not get again. I looked back at receipt after I left and see a random charge for "open retail" for $3.12, no clue what that is. So was over charged for something I didn't get.
