    The storefront from Northwest Highway.

    We have occasionally dropped into this Mariano's when in the area but I apparently never bothered to review it. Anyway, one tidbit here is that this store was actually Mariano's #1 and the very first Mariano's to open, and that was way back in July 2010. Otherwise, it's a typical Mariano's with a few exceptions. For one, it doesn't have a bar for whatever reason. Another somewhat unique feature is their liquor displays are all encased in locked glass cabinets and an attendant needs to be called if one wants to make a purchase. I don't know if they had a theft issue here (and Arlington Heights is one of Chicago's better and relatively crime-free suburbs), but that's the first time I've seen that at any Mariano's. The other noteworthy difference is their customer lounge area is quite small. Anyway, none of these aspects keeps us from doing our good Mariano's shopping here and that's my Yelp report, y'all.

    Deceptively located sign.

    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.

    I used to frequent pastry house hippo at Mitsuwa around once a week for a few years. This place I…read morewent to once pretty early on after going to crescent bakery to give them a try their chocolate cake didn't hold up to house hippo, so I wrote them off. I revisited when I had a bad experience with house hippo not sure if they changed their chefs or recipe but it was a bad experience across several slices I purchased that day. Long story short I enjoyed the slices here quite a bit and even found their matcha cake tasting better than house hippo's the grade of matcha is higher quality as well. I would say the Kahlua, Tiramisu and the Matcha are among my favorite slices so far, they are glorious with a nice cup of tea and not so sweet that I regret eating a slice and can even consider going for a 2nd. Their crepe I would say is better than Hippo's also, but pastry house hippo had the best chocolate and unique cheese cake I have ever tried. This place does offer unique slices I can't find elsewhere in their own right and will find me as a repeat customer for those slices and the lack of crowds at mitsuwa is another bonus. Cons: When boxed wax paper for each individual cake is not present, which helps when taking the cake out of the box without having to grab the cake.

    This is a small pastry shop. Parking lot is sufficient but kind of limited. We tried a couple…read moreslices. One was raspberry mousse and the other was moka coffee cream. They tasted kind of average, nothing extraordinary. The owner was very kind and helpful. It's about $5-6 for one slice.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
