    Liquor dept
    Ed G.

    Been waiting 10 minutes for an associate to come unlock their liquor cabinet. Basic hard liquor is in locked cabinets and require an associate to come unlock.

    Rotten avocado throughout an entire tray of sushi. This was a catering plater and every piece of sushi with avocado was not oxidized but rotten and brown

    Who waits until two days before Thanksgiving to go shopping?! This guy! Despite the fact that it's two days before one of the biggest food days of the year we found everything we were looking for, and at sale prices to boot! We nabbed a delicious ribeye roast (at a great discount!), fresh bread, veggies, apples for our pie, assorted bits n bobs, and of course alcohol! The woman in the meat dept was a gem, helping us pick out a great roast, as well as explaining how I can cut the roast, and making sure I went home with butchers string when I said I didn't have any! Ken, the cashier who assisted us, caught that I hadn't entered in my Mariano's card/phone number, and made sure I went to customer service where a kind woman applied the sale amounts and reimbursed me $47! Jessica (I think that was her name), was a conscientious bagger, doubling up on bags to prevent anything being too heavy! Great job all, and thanks Mariano's!! Happy Thanksgiving!

    Always a great choice to get quality produce and groceries at great prices. This is very similar to other Mariano's in the areas which have a great selection of prepared food and bakery items, and awesome options such as cheese and meat boards at super reasonable prices. In particular, I love their better than average choices of baked goods and cakes, which allow me to get competitively priced items for any celebration when I need to. I'm also very pleased with the friendly service and speedy checkout times.

    Out of all the other Mariano's I've shopped at, I find this location best among the others. First of all I would like to say that the staff here has been phenomenal, very helpful, as well as feeling fond to say hello. Usually I'm all about saving as much as possible, though I don't mind from what they have to offer, as it's usually unique in some way, or just something worth trying! Mariano's has so much to offer, like. Honey... they have around, over 30 types of honey, that's really astounding! Along with a large selection of teas... So many teas to choose from and exotic honey to pair... heaven. Purciutto, as I've realized not many other grocery stores sell at the deli (unless prepackaged). Oh! The breads at the bakery are wonderous! Definitely check out the large selection of Jelly and jams they have in stock! Wine too.... eek, quite a selection and inventory for variety. Oh! Icecream, the gelato is delicious! Especially Lemon, mango, strawberry. If you're someone who enjoys reading, looking and browsing, you'll definitely lose track of time with their products on the shelves, especially with eye catching packages.

    All-natural, vegan, gluten-free soups available. YES!!

    Considering that this is the newest Mariano's in the area and it has the main offices for all the local stores, I had pretty high expectations and was prepared to give them five stars. Well, that's not happening. I'm used to the employees in the other locations being super friendly, talkative, and knowledgeable (side note: I used to work at another Mariano's location and prided myself on being a pretty good cashier). I didn't get that impression here at all. The first cashier -- when I purchased my so-so lunch to eat there -- didn't really know what she was doing. The second cashier in the checkout lane did not greet us or say anything. The third cashier -- when I bought my kale smoothie -- was really friendly -- yay! However, all of them were really surprised when I asked them if they wanted my Mariano's card and seemed like they were still learning everything. Maybe they didn't have as much time to prepare prior to the opening as the other locations? I don't know. I definitely was disappointed by the lack of excellent customer service here. The aisles here are big, which is great, but the deli/produce/gelato/bakery area seemed cramped. Prices and selection was great (whew!). However, (I know that Mariano's is not a health foods store) I was disappointed with their vegan selection -- not as many vegan cheese, meat, and yogurt options as the other locations would offer. I was really bummed because I was counting on coming here for those since Whole Foods and Trader Joes are quite a drive from my new apartment. Oh, the kiddie carts! Ugh!! Unlike other stores, the ones at this store are painted reds and blues (and maybe other colors) so they almost seem to encourage children to race them around the store -- because that is exactly what we encountered. On top of that, the people here seemed slower (employees and customers) and indecisive about what the wanted to order (the deli bar was crazy)! My husband and I were anxious to leave. The only thing about this location that thrilled me? THE JUICE/SMOOTHIE BAR! I had an amazing Kale smoothie and ended up buying all the ingredients for it so I could make it at home. I will probably find myself more at a smoothie place for these kinds of drinks than here, but it's good to know they have the option. We are sticking with the Palatine location for our Mariano's trips. I might come back here in a couple months to see if things have [hopefully] improved.

    Sushi bar! Very pretty

    It's a grocery store that has everything you need and an awesome salad bar. Pretty standard stuff.

    I would avoid this establishment…read more I called on 1/27 at 12:40 PM to order vegan cupcakes for my son's birthday. The employee, Tim, told me they had 6 vanilla and 6 chocolate vegan cupcakes available. I requested 4 chocolate cupcakes, and he said I would need to prepay and that they would be ready in 15 minutes. I was surprised they could be prepared that quickly, but went along with it. We picked them up about 30 minutes later and brought them home. That evening, my son tried one and it was extremely hard, with grainy frosting. Overall, the cupcake tasted terrible. We didn't eat the remaining three and left them in the box. The next day, I returned to the shop to share my concerns and was told Tim would call me back. He did call and said they had tried a cupcake and felt it tasted fine. He also told me that I may not know what vegan cupcakes taste like. I didn't argue, but I've had plenty of vegan desserts before, and they've never been this inedible. He then explained that the batter used was leftover from a cake made a week earlier and that it's common practice for them to freeze batter and make cupcakes later. I was surprised to hear this. More disappointing was that there was no attempt to make things right or offer any solution--only to explain why they wouldn't provide a refund. I told him that was fine, but that I wouldn't be returning or recommending their shop and would be sharing my experience. If you're looking for vegan options or any dessert options and decent customer service, there are plenty of other places in the area. I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

    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.

    Stopped in for pączki on Fat Tuesday and it was my first time here! The smell when you walk in is…read moredefinitely noticeable--very much that fresh, oily fried dough scent--but the display cases looked great and everything was nicely presented. There's seating inside, and I appreciated that the tables weren't packed too closely together. It felt comfortable and not overcrowded. They had about 7-8 varieties of pączki to choose from. I grabbed a dozen rose (a classic go-to for me) and also tried the limoncello and the caramel bacon. The limoncello was really good--the custard lemon filling inside was flavorful and smooth. The rose was delicious, just how it should be. The caramel bacon was something new for me; it had that savory-sweet combo that's definitely a specific taste. Not for everyone, but interesting to try! Overall, a solid spot to grab pączki for Fat Tuesday.

    I heard about this place from another Yelper so I decided to stop in since I was in the area…read more They advertise as a bakery but in my opinion they are a bakery,deli,small grocery store and a sandwich shop. They didn't have a lot of bakery goods when I visited but they did have a nice selection of pre made Polish foods as well as homemade pierogis. I did buy a few items as well as Oplatki..a traditional Polish wafer used for the Christmas Eve blessing before everyone eats. Would like to go back and try one of their hot or cold sandwiches when I'm in the area again.

    Selection was a bit limited although I went an hour before closing. I got a Korean sugar donut…read more(spiral), two pastries with sausage in them. Super good when heated up. Not too salty or bland. I got a fresh red bean paste pastry. SUPER fresh. I reached towards the back. The bread was very fluffy and soft. The bean paste was fresh and not too sweet. The ice pistachio matcha was recommended and new by the cashier. He was right! He mentioned how he puts 1 pump instead of 3 and there was a very very small amount of sweetness. If u don't want sweet, do 1 pump. The topping and foam adds some sweetness. Small/regular size was a perfect amount. I paid about $20 for 4 pastries and a regular drink. The inside was spacious but only seating along the opposite wall. Bathroom is clean.

    Very disappointing experience at Tous Les Jours today…read more The service was extremely rude. The cashier (long black hair) she had an unfriendly attitude from the start--no greeting, no smile, and it felt like she was already irritated. What made it worse was how both the cashier and the owner spoke to me. They raised their voices instead of helping. There was a promotion for 3 bakery items for $5. I accidentally selected 7 items instead of 6, and I clearly told them multiple times that I only wanted 6 and did NOT want the extra item. Instead of fixing a simple mistake calmly, they kept raising their tone at me, which was unnecessary and uncomfortable. As a customer, I expect basic respect and professionalism. This situation could have been handled politely in seconds, but instead it turned into a negative experience. I won't be returning, and I hope management seriously works on customer service.
