For years I saw their sign touting their "famous chicken salad" and scoffed. Then I actually tried…read moreit. If it isn't famous, it should be, AMAZINGLY good, yet very simple. A bit pricey at around $15/pound, but truly delicious. They also have a great meat department and some gourmet snack crackers, pastas and other items that aren't readily available elsewhere. But steer clear of canned soups, frozen entrees and other "regular" items sold everywhere, because they're about twice as expensive as at your neighborhood supermarket.

This spot feels less like a full grocery store and more like an elevated convenience store. The…read moreselection is fairly limited. it covers the basics well enough when you just need a few items quickly. Service has been consistently transactional across a couple of visits. Staff are present and get the job done, but don't expect much in terms of engagement or assistance. Overall, it serves its purpose in a pinch. With little to no real competition nearby, it clearly benefits from a bit of a captive audience. Not a destination, but convenient when you don't have better options.

Story of my weekend, stopping in close to closing but I had to have my Freshe tuna and they are the…read moreonly place I know that carry it. A new flavor! Siracha. I picked that up as well as the Aztec Ensalada and Provence Nicoise. They are so good, can't wait to try the Thai Siracha. There were several other people shopping but I wanted to head out instead of moseying through the aisles looking at all the great local and unique items. Checkout is a breeze, don't forget your rewards! No bag and no receipt by design.

I found out Local Harvest does a farm box and now we're there every other Sunday. They also have a…read more10% discount on everything else on days you pick up your box. For the box - wow, we get an awesome selection of produce and other goods and for the quality, it's totally worth it. We've loved having the challenge of some unique items we would never buy otherwise too. It's been such a cool addition to our grocery items. The store itself is very cute, I'm from the Bay Area and it reminds me of a cool little Berkeley bodega. We loved the herb/veggie plants this spring, love the fresh, local produce (great mushrooms!!!), and local milk! They have such cool, unique ingredients and have really leveled up our cooking. We love buying local, and love that they also support all local vendors. Such a fantastic business.

This is where you can get the most authentic Vietnamese food in all of St. Louis area. Definitely…read morecome by during the weekend since there will be plenty of the grab-to-go Vietnamese food. You can get some decent groceries here despite it being quite small. There are a good variety of products imported from Vietnam that you can't find at other Asian grocery stores.

Finally had the opportunity to try a slice of the cheese pizza. It was fine for Lent; not spicy,…read moremostly cheese! More well done (black on parts of the crust) than I anticipated. Chewy and tasty. Great for a quick lunch. No MSG and No sugars! Now, I'll likely explore more of the options for a quick bite.

We were staying at a hotel nearby, and needed some snacks. Because it is in the city, I assumed it…read morewould be one of the bigger WF, but I think it's the smallest one I've ever been to! The staff here was super nice though! We bought a cake slice (vanilla bean cake cheesecake), a Manoa chocolate bar (from O'ahu, a long time fav of mine), a gallon of water, 360 branded strawberry sparking water, and a vitamin water. We did self-check out and that was that!

Shapiros is great! They have some amazing sandwiches while not being nearly as well known as they…read moreshould be. That could be due to a website that hasn't been updated in two years and no social media presence, but regardless, if you're in the area, get a sandwich here as they're pretty great!

I always love coming to Trader Joe's. This one is located in the Brentwood Promenade. Parking can…read morebe little crazy, but it's worth it just to come to Trader Joes. I came in to buy flowers but ended up leaving with Salmon Burgers, Elote Street corn flavoured tortilla chips and chocolate chunk cookies (Yum)!!! Their flowers are always so fresh and pretty, and always makes me want to buy them all. Their produce and meat is always fresh. They are always well stocked with goodies. Their prices are unbeatable. The layout of the store is easy on the eyes, and always clean.They always have amazing and friendly staff that's always willing to help and make small talk with you. You can never go wrong with making a trip to Trader Joe's. I guarantee that you will walk out with something!

This is a great Trader Joe's location. It can be intense and crowded, very similar to the one in…read moreDes Peres. It does have a larger parking lot than DP, so there's more parking and the store is bigger. Besides the chaotic plaza this TJ's is in, it's a great location and the staff is fantastic.

I was happy to find some fantastic canned cold brews as well, so I was covered with my "coffee before the real coffee" the next morning. I might have a problem. The vibe in here is good when you walk in, a little weird towards the back. I'm not sure if part of the back was open or storage, it got darker and more isolated. There were tons of other snacks and a lot of Asian specialty items as well. Nice to have a store anchored in a busier area and near the university. I will definitely pop in here again if staying in the Loop.

I reviewed United Provisions 10 years ago? And I gave it only 4 stars? Must be remedied!…read moreI now eat more international foods, though I'm still vegetarian and that limits me. United Provisions has turned into decent place to stop for a quick snack. When I stopped by last week, I bought 2 tornado relief fundraising mystery snack boxes. What a nice idea and so nicely presented. My cat enjoyed sitting on the wrapping paper. I've only unboxed one (the other is a gift). I don't want to spoil the mystery here, but I will add that I was a little disappointed that there were no chips or crackers in the box. However, the box value seemed quite good.
