This supermarket is soooo close to my job, it's going to be the death of me. I have come here a good number of times and always buy the hot buffet for lunch. Food is very good, fresh and hot. I had it numerous times, good every single time. I have had the hot heros to go also, very good. My friend bought the 7 layer dip, YUMMY. This store is stocked with delicious food everywhere you go! It's insanity lol. HUGE variety, HUGE. I love it!! I have to try the ice cream and coffee stations. I also need to get that artichoke, bacon, ranch dip, I think that's what it's called. I WILL BE BACK!!! read more

See all

Best of the best supermarket if you have kids!!! My daughter loves being there and i can shop without rushing because she is totally entertain!!! They always have small tasting for their food and they are always good. read more

Can't say enough great things about this place. I've been shopping at Stew Leonard's for over 15 years, mostly at their original stores in Connecticut, and this place doesn't disappoint! The food is fresh, unbeatable, and well-priced. Their brand named stuff is to die for and is sought out by everyone who goes here (try the apple cider donuts!). The store is also impeccably clean. I visit this location five times a week because their hot bar is so good! The staff are so friendly and always have smiles on their faces, ready to assist. I've ditched Stop & Shop and have made this my go-to grocery store. read more

I found this location to be less congested than the location in Farmingdale. Same quality products and a huge prepared foods selection. There were about a dozen open cashier aisles plus about half a dozen express aisles. There was almost no wait to checkout on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Vegetarian Disappointing The buffet and pre-made food is always pretty much the same with limited choices for vegetarians. Where are the vegetarian empanadas? Where is the vegetarian option for Chinese food? Where is vegetarian retried beans for Mexican food? read more

I had never gone to Stew Leonard's before but i was dying to check it out,however when they opened this location my husband and I were excited to go see what they hype was all about! I am so glad that we did,the supermarket is extremely clean,let's hope that it stays that way!! The prices are mediocre,lots of different things to choose from that are different then your average supermarket!! The one thing that sucks about this location that it is literally a maze so if u have to just grab something quick you won't be able to to do so!! They have cool things for the kids,however if you spend $100 you get a small kids ice cream,gimme a break people,your a multi billion dollar company I am sure that without the $100 purchase that you can spare a small ice cream for the kids read more

Not as big as their other two area locations but still as awesome. Love their live/fresh lobster, crab legs and oyster specials. Worth the drive no matter how far you're driving from. read more

When shopping at supermarket most of the time we lost our ability to relax unwind and enjoy the experience.stew Leonards allows us to do that. It's entertaining, enjoyable the shop, and quality products and service. This is my second time through the supermarket. This place is much better design than the one in Farmingdale. It's much more spacious, laid out very well, and lots of room between the aisles You cant help but pick up something along the way as your traverse the maze of wonderful fresh fruits and prepared food. I ended up with kettle chips, tuna salad, items from the chicken bar, salad, and to my hearts desire a gallon of milk in the glass jar :-). You may not like the maze, but everyone usually picks up and find something along the way. If you have an hour to kill and want to go shopping. This is the place to go. read more

I like some of the food in Stew Leonards but I hate hate the noise. It seems there are lots of idiotic people who need noise to bang into their empty heads to feel alive. If I forget my ear plugs I have to make a quick trip which is hard with their labyrinth of a store. read more

Store people are always kind and friendly. Bakery has so many kind of bread and sweets. Meat are fresh. Great to bring kids with because of the fun decorations. I have been a fan of Stew Leonard's since one came to Fermingdale and I love it even more after it came to Gardencity. Much closer to my house. Things can be expensive but if you just go for one in advertisement, its not too bad. read more

Love Stew's in East Meadow! So happy to have a couple of these stores on LI now and this one is my closest one. The food is great, store is very clean and the staff is very attentive and friendly. This is my go to spot for prepared foods. Their salads are awesome and so is the wing bar! Usually lots of free samples too. The bakery section is excellent and we love their apple cider donuts. And who doesn't love a free ice cream when you spend $100!! I love that they have the Dole Pineapple ice cream that is only found at Disney - it's my favorite guilty pleasure here. Great place to bring the kids as the animatronic singing food and animals keep them entertained while you can focus on shopping. While Stew's has a ton of stuff this will not be a replacement for your regular grocery store as there are certain items and lots of brands they do not carry but for things like your baked goods, produce, meat, seafood, cheese and deli you're all good!!! It's fine by me that things like paper products and some brand name items require another stop because what they do have is so good that it's worth it. And let's face it we all hit the speciality markets all the time like Ivaronne, North Shore and Salpinos so this is just a way huge family friendly version of those places. read more

Always a great experience when I shop here. I sometimes make it a outing with my family. Everyone is always pleasant and helpful and it's always something fun and interesting for the kids to see. read more

Im always getting there too late but I love the stuff here. I unlike other Yelpers wouldn't shame a cashier for being a bit slower than I would have liked but then again im not an awful person. I have never had an issue with any of them and maybe its the Yelpers fault not the cashiers. Just saying. That being said I got some bagels, some cannoli's and some Dunkin Donuts Coffee Porter. Great late night stop and now home to enjoy. read more

This is a great supermarket!! Everything is so fresh!! They have great aged steaks! The eggs are farm fresh!! $100 at the end gets you a free ice cream!! read more

Very clean supermarket. Prices a little high but quality is good. Lots of fresh food choices. Definitely reccomend as a good place to grab all your supermarket needs. read more

My mother told me to please go to Stew Leonard's to pick out a Christmas tree. She told me that the supermarket has an incredible experience and she wanted to me to check it out. I went there with my boyfriend and boy did we love it. I was impressed with this supermarket from the moment I walked inside. The atmosphere was so nice and festive for the holidays. They had a cafe inside the supermarket and they also had special items for Game of Thrones fans which is cool. The staff was nice and attentive. They had samples and the supermarket was clean. I highly recommend for grocery shopping. The Christmas shoppe was nice and it was outdoors. That is where you purchase your Christmas trees. The trees were frozen because they come from Canada and were left outside. The prices were decent for the type of tree you purchase. The staff was helpful and accommodating in our tree picking process. My boyfriend and I were very excited during our experience. They put the tree on the car and made our experience wonderful. Thank you Stew Leonard's! read more

What a place! It is like a Disney World grocery store. I can't wait until my granddaughter gets a little older so that I can take her there! There are animated displays throughout the grocery store singing songs about the food displays surrounding them. It is incredible marketing. They have turned grocery shopping into an eventful experience. The store doesn't have aisles, you weave around the different areas like you do at IKEA. Again, this adds to the shopping experience. So far as food goes, the fruits and vegetables are very fresh. They don't have all items like a full line of cleaning supplies...They don't have oatmeal of all things...The dinner rolls are to die for! We actually went back for more despite the fact that we are all on diets. Our diets were obviously broken...Oh well, it is holiday season. Check out was fast and convenient. The staff is courteous and it seems that they all enjoy working there. I wish this grocery store was in South Florida where I live. read more

I'm not really sure if this place is really for grocery shopping or just taking your kids to an indoor Adventure Land. As from the other reviewers who have noted, their farm animals and the themeparkish atmosphere basically engulfs the grocery store. It's very Tastefully done, and keeps the kids busy while the parents need to shop. There are many activities and props set up along the aisles that could keep your kiddo distracted. And make shopping that much more bearable. The prices on the other hand are reasonable for the Ambiance it provides, not super cheap but not terribly expensive. Certain things are on the pricier side but they have a lot of Premium items found in more Gourmet supermarkets like Whole Foods. Their cheese and sausage selection are pretty darn good, some of the spicy variety of cheeses are hard to get elsewhere. This is my only Stew Leonard's grocery I have visited, so I can't compare it to the rest. read more

Stew Leonard's - Bakeries Near Me - East Meadow, New York

This place is like Willy wonka meets Trader Joe's! It's fun for all ages! There's a lot of actual bells and whistles that "kids".. and by kids I mean my old caboose, can pull/play with! It's super clean and stocked with anything under the sun! You want gluten free crackers-GOT IT! You want dairy free cheese-YEP. You want cocoa free chocolate... well ok maybe not that but if it existed I'm sure they'd have it! Organic meats cheeses and all that fancy shmancy stuff! If you go there get their ice cream it's to die for! Chocolate ice cream and chocolate sprinkles it's just something about making it in house and it's creamy texture that's enough to make someone convert from lactose intolerant to lactose lover lol. I've been here twice and I'm dying to try it with hot fudge which always runs out by the evenings when I go.. so either it's great or non existent like McDonald's ice cream machines read more

Great addition to the South Shore scene. Used to have to go to Yonkers area to get this fun food experience!

Great supermarket with good meat and produce. Cute animation for kids inside. Fresh vegetables and plants. Good fish. Very clean.

I love going! I can get unique items and very fresh meats and produce. Whenever I bring a baked cake or dessert from Stews everyone loves it. To me its worth the money for it not to taste like typical grocery store stuff. read more

I can't believe I didn't write a review. When we heard a new Stew Leonard's was opening up in East Meadow near my favorite Dominican Restaurant...we RAN to go see it. We love Stew Leonard's. I don't understand why anyone would not love Stew Leonard's. #IloveStewLeonards. What is Stew Leonard's? It is a food themed amusement park that takes their layout and design idea from the British boy band, One Direction. It's similar to IKEA that you go in one direction following a path through the entire store. I'm sure it was designed on purpose this way. I'm sure they don't want you to go in for one item and run out. Trust me I tried and I ended with up a lot more groceries than I thought I needed. Which I do not mind. I love Stew Leonard's. The meat specials has always been the highlight of my trip to Stewie's. I saw today, for example, lamb loin chops $4.99/lb, half price, skirt steak is $5.99/lb, veal scallopini $6.99/lb, NY Strip Steaks $5.99. Did I mention yet I love Stewie's? Let's talk fresh bread...the Country Hearth Bread. OMG. So good. They bake it through out the day. It is chewy inside, crispy outside, heaven for carb lovers. Lobster rolls...first I am allergic to shellfish. So I haven't had it in years but before this happened. I used to run to the lobster rolls at Stewie's when I was able to eat it. It used to be 2 for $15 but this was years ago. I am not sure how much it is now. Blueberry pie, YUM. "Dad's Favorite Cookies", yum. Their fresh cartons of soup is $15 for two or $7.99 each are freshly made and preservative-free. Buy over $100 and you can take your receipt either to the soft serve counter for your free cone or to the coffee counter for your free coffee, your choice of hot or cold. This market is clean and huge....how can you not love Stewie's like me. My fave food amusement park shopping place. Yes it's fun too. read more

Wow, a Stew Leonards that is finally close by! I am glad this location opened up in East Meadow. Their frozen yogurt is still amazing, as always. The pistachio flavor is excellent and is a great treat as I do my food shopping. I noticed some of the moving displays were not the exactly the same as the Farmingdale location (compare the Banana guy lol). What a great way to be entertained as I do some food shopping! I also love their bakery selection (fresh breads, muffins, muffin tops, and cookies, oh my!) Although it is a long and windy set up (similar to Ikea where they make you walk through the sections, there is a shortcut or two you could take. I noticed some of the sales are great (0.99 cents for 16 oz of strawberries? They got two tables worth of it, all in great condition!), and others are at retail price if not on sale. Be a smart shopper and wait for the sales! They may also have a sampling station here or there as you wander the store: we sampled the chicken salad which was tasty. Last time I bought some fresh donuts which were great, better than anything Dunkin Donuts or Entemanns will make (those leave an artificial taste in your mouth). The overall selection stocked on the shelves and in the produce section is very fresh, which is kept in good condition by the workers. The ladies room here was super clean. I enjoyed my visit and can't wait to visit again! read more

Great location. Great service. The pumpkin pie was outstanding. Their meat is great. Their bagels are my kids favorite!

The personnel are great and they run around like rats to help you find items or make good if they run out of an item. The bagels are a great price although a bakers dozen would be a better draw. You know if you walk in there you're paying a higher price for goods. Like everything else you get what you pay for sometimes... Buyers must comparison shop always and think is it worth it....Sometimes yes,sometimes no. read more

Love Stew Leonard's store at Yonkers location. East meadow location is horrible!!!!! All staff should go for training to Yonkers. Especially pizza guy, who was really rude this past Sunday. He seen my husband and I approaching, he disappeared and when showed up few minutes later with stinky attitude. My husband asked for slice of veggie pizza, he looked at my husband and told him: "you have to wait" (with discussing tone in his voice) and disappeared again. I will never shop at this location again. Thanks for Yonkers kind and polite personnel, I will still shop at Stew Leonard's. It's amazing how same chain store can have such a different feel. I guess it all depends on the management. East Meadow manager; Your location sucks!!!!!!!! But you probably don't care cause you are "super rude", as someone mention in previous review. read more

Good food but very disappointing in COVID protection. 2 employees wearing mask wrong, impossible to distance. Most employees had mask on but it only takes one. This is a store that we thought would be safe because of its one way pattern but people were going the wrong way, getting too close, it was a crowded Saturday. Even the guy at register in garden center had mask below nose. I'll go back to delivery. Extremely disappointed. read more

Quality foods, they make it so you have to walk through most of the store so you are bound to get a few extra items then expected, but at least you don't have to find the right aisle read more

I love Stewie's, my favorite ultimate supermarket. To be ready for the slushy nor'easter, I made a trip to the Stew Leonard's last night I think I was the only shopper in the store. I picked up the necessary items but the one item I really needed I could not locate (bottled water +essentia), one of the security staff member "John" saw me holding all the stuff in my arms so he offered to carry my items to the cashier and helped me get my water. That was one of the nicest gesture I have ever received in a supermarket. Thank you John, you made my day. You are true gentleman! Respectfully submitted your new loyal customer. read more

Produce rots quickly ! Donuts are amazing! But no organic selection to choose from:( I prefer fairwAy all day.

Ordered for thanksgiving. Very organized picking my order up. Turkey was cooked and all i had to do is warm it up. I did and tasted delicious. All the sides are perfect and the rolls were the best. Great choice with a great price. read more

This location would've easily gotten 5 stars for me if the following didn't occur: Love coming here! The vegetables, meats, milk are extremely fresh and tasty. Their brand drinks are delicious too, especially their lemonades. Their salads are delicious and fresh. I have never been disappointed with any of my purchases. With that being said, I do have one complaint. A couple of weeks ago, (March 8, 2018) I was shopping and when I went to the register, I heard a very inappropriate conversation taking place between 2 cashiers. The cashier's name was Lisa and she was at the register in Lane 2 at around 1:30 pm. She was trash talking the store. She stated rather loudly how the sandwiches (Stew Leonard's Cheesesteak sandwich in particular) were disgusting and extremely "wet". She went on to trash other items in the store and I just thought it was very inappropriate. If she doesn't like it there, maybe she shouldn't be working there! read more

The food is good, but the staff are disorganized and talk to customers like they are humoring stupid five year olds. Do NOT order store pick up or delivery if you have a choice. There are no order numbers, and the staff got my name wrong. I finally managed to locate the order for them. However, half the order was either a grab-bag substitution or eliminated entirely. Yet, when I called to ask, I was told the store had plenty of what I had ordered but didn't receive. Too bad that people who try to be careful not to go out because of Covid get treated like second class citizens. read more

Unfortunately this store is not living up to their reputation. Outdated products, some fruit way past its prime. So disappointed. Just another grocery store. read more

Went to a birthday party for a group of 3 year olds which is upstairs in a very big private party room. Was great WOW the cow was there and interacting with all the children. They did painting crafts ( piggy banks) and singing and dancing with the staff. The pizzas were from Stew Leonard's as the ice cream and cake. Very nice touch of Santa showing up for the kids. Nice idea read more

Loses a star for how noisy it is ... and hate the layout ! Feel trapped in a Disney ride lol but other wise some good stuff ... love the popcorn , snow ball rolls and so far meat has been good .... read more

I'm excited that this place came to this side of Long Island. I've never been to the Farmingdale one but I have been to one's in CT. The store is obviously brand new and very clean. The staff is eager to help. The downside to the store is that it's kind of one way in one way out which makes stopping for one item a little bit of a hassle. However the food is decently priced and store brands are actually really good. The hot food section is also a huge plus that's not available in many stores that are close other than say Whole Foods-- but that isn't very close by. I'm happy it's here and I hope it doesn't bump Best Market out of town. But I like both stores very much and will continue to return! read more

Came here for my son, but the quality of food and produce was overall subpar, only Cute to see the singing animals otherwise grocery shop elsewhere read more

The customer service counter today had the rudest guy....he would only wait on men only....
