When it was our turn he just walked off and started messing with the machine. Then another lady came out and the two of them were working on the machine for another 10 minutes. No one said anything to all of us waiting, they just had a line of people standing there without addressing anyone. When someone finally asked if they had any left and the lady said no not until tomorrow. Just really awful customer service and a poor way to run things.

Maple Ice Cream, with Maple Sprinkles: My first time trying maple syrup ice cream. It was very unique, with a mild sweetness and a light/thin texture (depending on your preference!).

Hay market is the best deal in Boston. I wish I started going sooner…read more I spend so much less on groceries now and try to exclusively buy my produce at Haymarket. Is the produce super fresh? Not necessarily. But it is still 1000% worth it. I just want someone to share in my enthusiasm about what a good deal it is. I make green juice in the morning. When I shop at Star market my juice would cost up to $5 per day. From haymarket it is like a dollar a day. And who cares if I'm not using the most pristine vegetables. It's gonna get obliterated in my blender and I'm none the wiser.

The food is cheap, but it's cheap for a reason I went to look at their fruit which most of it had mold on it. In the overall cleanliness of the store is absolutely disgusting. Between the waft of mold and must you get right when you walk in to dirty sticky floors to even their shelved items having dust and dirt on them. I know right now people are looking for better pricing, but I do not recommend going here for that.

Alba Produce has been in operation for decades. I used to buy my produce from Albie's father when…read morehe had a woodburning stove in the shop and would bake fruit atop that stove. It was always aromatic and a pleasure to shop there. In the days since Albie took over the store it is still the best produce shop in Boston. It is certainly superior to the other shops in the North End and Star and Stop And Shop markets. In addition to produce, Albie carries fresh pasta! And he is honest to a fault; He will tell you what is good, better, best in his stock. I just wish that I had his phone number so that I could order in advance and have someone collect my order. Albie is a sweet, kind, thoughtful and a gentleman so it is always a treat to shop in his store.

One of the things that originally drew me to In Season was that they actually allow you to choose…read morethe items you want. I find this so much more useful and functional than receiving a weekly mystery box of fruits and vegetables that I quite possibly don't have any interest in. After all, a girl can only eat so many apples and bean sprouts... The products available for purchase include dairy, fresh pastas, fruits, vegetables, meats, bread, and more. Your delivery date is based on your location. For instance, I live in Cambridge, so my food arrived Tuesday morning bright and early (before 8:00 AM). I was beyond happy with the presentation of my order. The delivery person placed all of my perishable items in the cooler I set out in our lobby, and my other items were neatly packed in brown paper bags. All of the produce was clean and attractive (even the potatoes were tidy), and not a single egg was broken. I point this out because PeaPod always breaks my eggs and it drives me crazy. In Season is a bit pricey, but no more so than Whole Foods. My only true quibble with the service was that the meat comes frozen. I guess I was expecting brown paper packages tied up with string and a hand delivery by Julie Andrews, but let's be realistic, the majority of the fresh meat I buy ends up in the freezer anyway. I doubt I'll be utilizing this service every week, but I want to stress again that the quality of these products is phenomenal and I definitely envision having a delivery from time to time.

Duh. My delivery is here! Thursday I had placed an online order with In Season. They promise my goodies will be on my porch, lovingly hand delivered via bicycle courier, before 7:30 in the morning. I go out and grab my bag of goodies. Fresh blueberries, raspberries, heirloom tomatoes, fingerling potatoes, fresh pasta and a hunk of locally made cheddar. Fabulous. Sure beats finding a serial killer on your porch at 5:30 in the a.m. The important details if you are lucky enough to live in their delivery zone (JP, Brookline, Somerville and Camridge. Suck it, Boston!): Place your order online before Friday night. Select from a small, but nice, selection of fruits, veggies, cheese, dairy, fresh pasta and even meat. Wake up on Tuesday morning with something to look forward to. It's all locally grown and made products. And delivered by bicycle. What a nice and easy way to lower your carbon footprint.
