Managers here need to do better.

Well, there is nothing "cheap" in this store, unless it is damaged. It is sad, I remember you could eat for cheap shopping there. What's concerning for me is...it is the only grocery store in the area, which is economically low, and the prices were way more expensive than Walmart and Dillons. Just out of curiosity, I looked in the freezer area to see a brand that I might have know the regular price at other stores...a Totino's pizza that was so old the packing was blown up about to pop and it was $3.17!!! The same pizza (not old), is $1.75 at regular grocery stores. Are they marking up prices because they know many people in that neighborhood don't have transportation?!?! That's pathetic...do better!! I will not be shopping there again. Very disappointed!!!

Engroff Catering was an absolute dream to work with! I had chosen another caterer several months…read moreearlier for a fine dining party I was hosting April 30th, but due to the other caterer failing to follow thru at the very last minute (8 days before my event) after several months of planning with them, I was forced to scramble to find a caterer. Engroff's was able to seamlessly and extremely professionally cater my event at the very last minute. Their event coordinator was able to meet with me Monday (after I contacted them Friday afternoon) at the venue, offer multiple suggestions about the menu, we set a menu...and when I mentioned I was hosting ANOTHER event the following day (May 1st), informed me they would also be able to cater that event was well, if I was interested. Both events went off without a hitch and after receiving multiple compliments about the food (and Engroff's being extremely professional and understanding about how stressed I was due to the first caterer falling thru), are now my caterer of choice, bar none. I can not say enough about Engroff's and how easy they were to work with. If you are needing a caterer in the Topeka area, please contact Engroff's first; you won't be disappointed!

I ended up only buying one gift basket and picking up a few little jams and a smoked bacon Gouda along with half a summer sausage to gift to a friend. They were pretty busy when I went in but the ladies working were friendly and helpful. They have Cheese, smoked sausages, jellies, bbq sauce, Cashmere Popcorn and other jarred condiments available. The store is small and can easily be missed if you are not paying attention, the parking lot is also small, not a lot of stalls for parking.

I had been following for YEARS on Facebook (can't even remember how I found them!), and have since moved out of town, but I wanted to give my dad a surprise gift for Valentine's Day. I messaged the business on Facebook, and within minutes, Stacy responded to my inquiry. She made it so easy to order a gift basket and even offered to have it delivered to his home. I was blown away and incredibly appreciative of such great service. For a gift basket of 3 cheeses, sausage, beef sticks, crackers, jelly, and a cutting board and knife, it was only $65! They also threw in a couple of chocolates and a handwritten card to make it special :) Everything (I'm told) was super tasty, with the Habanero Ghost Pepper cheese being a favorite. I'm excited to continue gifting Stumpy's to friends and family in the Topeka area and beyond.

Perhaps the worst part is that almost daily they run out of product well before posted closing time. As a customer you can understand that a new business would need some time to gauge customer demand but this location has been open for quite some time and they don't seem to have adapted. Today I was informed that they ran out at 8:00. This is false scarcity and it isn't a good way to treat customers.

Well this time I watched and immediately put my blinker on and made the exit (it's hidden by trees right as you come around the corner). It's a medium smaller sized store with some produce and cider and cider donuts! The donuts are by the cash register in brown paper bags and sold by half dozen bags for just under $5 with tax. They are really good! I'm used to the ones in Louisburg south of Overland Park, but these are softer and more fluffy cake cider donuts covered in more cinnamon and sugar. They are worth the stop! I saw they have cider ice cream too, but didn't try it.
