I don't understand why people want to work in such deplorable conditions. Just wondering is there a store manager? Is there a maintenance person? Do you think the Bloomfield community want to shop at a clean store? Do you value your customers? Each time I go there it is just dirty and then I go to other Stop & Shop stores there is no trash, stores are clean and neat. In Bloomfield, the store is always crowded and this is how you treat loyal customers. I was there today and yes it is filthy.

Seven lines open with the check yourself gizmos. Slow machines occasionally serenaded by recordings of "place your yellow onions on the belt". Lots of people throwing up their hands in disgust and bailing out on these snail paced lines. Why did I stop here? I was hoping to hit their salad bar for some veggies for an omelette. Silly me, they have no salad bar. Remind me not to come back to this forlorn place

In a pinch I'll backfill with Hummel Bros from CT. There's no question at all though that the absolute top dog is the Mucke big dog (6:1?). Several years ago they were bought out by another CT dog maker. For some reason they disappeared after that but now they are back at select grocery stores in CT. These dogs freeze well and they will be the best dogs you ever try. All of my friends love them and when one of us makes a run we usually buy for a whole group of us. Give them a shot. If you can find a whole weat roll for them so much the better!

"Walking in the wild west end Walking with your wild best…read morefriend" (Dire Straits) We found the West End Farmer's Market behind Farmington Avenue between Clemens Place Apartments and the Mark Twain House. There is excellent signage on Farmington Avenue that leads you to a big lot behind the market. We saw a smallish number of eclectic vendors - a Jamaican food stand, a bakery, a few produce stands, a jewelry stand, an artwork stand, a Hartford Library on Wheels truck, and more. We made two purchases - a Nutella babka from Manchester's Wicked Good Bakes and a Jerk Barbecue Mushroom Patty Panada from Hartford's The Ital Juicery Company. I had an absolute blast at the Ital Juicery stand. They had three generations of charming and delightful women behind the counter. That Patty Panda (sort of a cross between an Empanada and a Jamaican Patty) was a good-sized portion, somewhat justifying the hefty $10 price tag, but the flavor was amazing. Smoky, savory, and spicy, I mean sneaky spicy. Not sure what kind of peppers were in there, but if you told me they were Jamaican Scotch Bonnets I would not be surprised. That afterburn lasted over half an hour. I'll definitely be on the lookout for The Ital Juicery Company when I make the rounds of upcoming Farmer's Markets. As for the West End Farmer's Market, they're open on Tuesdays between June and September from 4pm-7pm. The hours change slightly to 3pm-6pm in October. PRO TIP Five stars for their community service vibe. "The West End Farmers' Market of Hartford believes that everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy and delicious food". To that end, they match SNAP/EBT spending, effectively doubling the amount a buyer can use there.

The West End Farmers Market is the best Farmers Market of all CT!!…read more I went to 3 Farmers Markets today. This is truly what I have been looking for. Native healing herbs. Friendly, knowledgeable and willing to share suggestions with the community. Kind and supportive. Every table I touched was so passionate about what they have grown, or made to offer. To future customers I would like to share don't ever judge a book by its cover. The road work did not stop me. So glad I found my way. From the freshest fruit of the season all the way to the Maple Syrup, Sour Dough. Micheal and his abundant happy herbs, jewelry and soap. The comfrey plants were such a joy to my eyes. Healing through herbs is the way we're supposed to heal. Coexist with the plant kingdom. The community at this market was nothing but love Looking forward to my next return back to CT

(Dr. Seuss) You'll see a lot more than two fish here, in fact, you'll see dozens of different species of fish in all colors under the rainbow. They really have a very impressive selection of whole fish packed on ice. I didn't see any filets, just whole fishes all over the place. They stared at me with their stink-eyed stare and cold fish looks. They are all neatly labeled and priced, so it's easy to figure out what you're looking at and how much they cost. They also sell shrimp and have a freezer case of grab and go stuff. It's a very cool place -go check it out!
