I have been shopping the grocery story & wine shop for about 15 years. I'm in the store(s) 4-5 days…read moreper week, spending roughly $500 per month between the two. I have over half a dozen friends working there, the regular staff all know my face, and I even recently interviewed for part-time work there. I do not like paying 5 cents for a plastic bag every time I swing through for a few items, so I decided to bring my own bag today. It's a messenger bag that rests on my back, no side pockets. Many customers in the store carry purses and/or reusable hand bags. All of these people have immediate access to their style of bags, whereas my messenger bag would require me to take it off my back in order to open it. As I walked by a very indiscreet undercover security member I hear a man's voice telling her via radio to keep an eye on me. I was then followed around the store for the entire visit, again very indiscreetly. I say this as someone who has worked professionally in security from bars, to retail, to IT. When I realized I forgot an item in the produce section I walked all the way back across the store, only to see a male security member come out of the back and proceed to follow me to the register. I intentionally chose a lane with a bagger, and showed him there was nothing in my bag before handing it to him. At the end of checkout the cashier asked me if I'd like to keep the 5 cents or donate it. This was new to me since I normally do self-checkout, so she explained that the 5 cents is a form of encouragement to bring my own bag. I replied to donate it, then said it was ironic considering security followed me around the entire store for wearing a bag that I was now being rewarded for bringing. She snapped at me and said "Well if you have a problem, my manager is right over there", and pointed to the self-checkout where the manager present has known me for quite some time and is always very friendly to me. Normally I decline a receipt when asked, but the cashier printed it without asking me. Seeing as I was only making an observation and not trying to escalate like the cashier was now doing, I deferred from chatting with said manager, and walked out of the store after placing my receipt into the donation box towards the Animal Humane Society like I always do. I have enjoyed the niche items that Kowalski's offers that other grocers do not, but considering these other stores sell the same common products for up to 40% cheaper, and considering the harassment by security and the poor customer service today, I will forego these niche items in favor of shopping elsewhere from this day forward.

And they can be relentless when it comes to getting butter for your bread when you sit down and eat it. No offense, but did you notice how much you're charging for bread to begin with. And the amped up amount of prices you're putting in the up scale amount you add to each retail piece on the store you should be giving away butter for free lol. It makes me uncomfortable in this store if it wasn't so convenient I would never come here. I came complained about a soup time. It was so bad. I ended up throwing it away. They didn't reimburse me nor did they ask if I wanted to try a different soup instead. Just oh well and about their business they went. Terrible customer service. I would give zero stars if it was an option!

What a great little spot for the Bryn Mawr neighborhood! I'd passed this market many times and…read morefinally stopped in: it's giving little corner store vibes, with a little bit of everything. Perfect if you just need a few things to get through the week, or forgot something at the grocery store, or need something for a recipe! There are lots of snacks and dry goods, a handful of fresh produce options, and some fridge/freezer items. Prices are typical market/corner store prices. I especially love the free community shelf outside for those in need! Thank you for being here for our local community and neighborhood.

Wanted to bake pumpkin cake for company on a whim because #fall, didn't have pumpkin: they did, and to top it off, it was organic. They also have all of our key millennial-household-staple items: almond milk, veggie sausages, avocados, bananas, OJ, pasta and sauce, and great fair trade coffee. Being able to get these things mid-week without having to go through the triple-threat hellscapes of 394/94 construction + the Wedge parking lot + rush hour is truly a gift. Plus the guy who owns/runs it is a gem- knows customers by name and can guess the weight of your coffee by hand within a tenth of a pound. Bryn Mawr Market is just about perfect. So glad to have them around.

Such a wonderful place and they even carry some products that I usually can't find and normally make special trips for. I'm happily going to start becoming a regular for so many reasons. I have never seen a place like this that truly helps the community. Highly recommend stopping in and supporting local!

A family run business and you can see that they go above and beyond with customer service. It is…read moreyour typical neighborhood corner store/market with basic groceries, some produce and fruit, but with one caveat that they make killer hot food right there in the back of the store. Anytime that I am in the neighborhood, or anywhere within a 10-15 minute radius, I make a point to stop here to grab food from their kitchen. The food is always plentiful and extremely delicious no matter what you get. My personal favorite is the 'chicken rice' but they have burgers, fries, gyros, kabobs etc. You will be surprised how amazing the food actually tastes. Only thing I wish about them is that their kitchen would be open on the weekends also, but I guess that's understandable since as I mentioned above, it's a small family run business.

If you're scared of trying new things, this isn't the place for you... but if you're like me and you love exploring different cuisines, Paradise Market is a treasure hunt! I grabbed a cold smoked trout, just like my German grandfather used to make! Cold smoked fish is so hard to find so I'll be back just based on that fact alone! But we also picked up some of the fresh breads and pastries and were very pleasantry surprised! Flavor sensations all! I can't stress this enough... if you're looking for something to spice up your diet be brave! Push past language barriers and try anything and everything that catches your fancy! Such fun!

I participated in a virtual Nourush 201 Summer Series cooking class 'Black Bean Burgers' with Chef…read moreJess Delicious Toliver through Seward Community Co-op Nourish 101 program. The class was excellent. Very fun and educational. They provided the list of ingredients, equipment and recipe in advance so you could be prepared and prep in advance and cook along at the same pace as the chef and enjoy dinner afterwards. We mashed the beans (or you could use a food processor). And chopped the veggies. (chef used fresh, I sautéed mine first I just don't care for onion or raw garlic). Add spices (cumin, Hot paprika, pepper, salt, and sauce. We eat an egg ( or you can make Chia seed egg) and you could add breadcrumbs. We then mixed with our hands and formed patties. One can of black beans makes four burgers. As we cooked, host Lasked questions and also relayed our questions from the chat. Chef Jess provided her background and how she got into the cooking and being a personal chef now and trying to make healthy meals and promote wellness through food. She gave lots of suggestions on various summer meals and a variety of veggie burger combinations. And showed us how to chop the vegetables and provided the knife she prefers. She gave us tips on photographing food from above not the side (Check out my cool hands in the air photos) Made mine with black beans, poblano, peppers, carrots. onions, egg and buffalo sauce. (I sautéd the veggies with garlic and herbs) we baked the burgers in oven. Chef Jess used Sriracha. But she gave us lots of suggestions in how to make it your own. she gave alternates if you wanted to make it vegan or gluten-free or dairy free etc. (I am pescatarian). As far as assembling the burgers. I fried two eggs. And sliced an avocado, tomato and some radishes Topped with the buffalo sauce (use sour cream instead of mayo), avocados, radish, and tomato and served on mixed greens. You don't need no stinking bread. Yum. They turned out so good. And so filling. I'll be making again. Next time with garbanzo beans. Thank you Chef Jess! And thank you seaward community co-op /Lawson for hosting.
