The deli and meat counter has a good amount of house-made dishes, from chicken salads to smoked salmon. The really huge, well-curated cheese section is worth it alone. This kind of counter is what I've missed after moving up here! Nice selection of grocery staples with an emphasis on local/regional producers where possible. There's a small but solid selection of natural health/beauty products and gifts, too. "Well-curated" is a running theme, as the beer section stocks a ton of nicer local brews I can't find at the major chains here. The staff is helpful and friendly without being overbearing. It's definitely a worthy detour if you need groceries and are in the area.

I have been a S&S customer for 30 years. This store (not my regular store) is the worst I've ever…read morehad the misfortune to deal with. The layout was very confusing and made it hard to find anything. For example, there was a small sized freezer opposite the bread section with frozen vegetables. They didn't have well known organic brands like Ezekiel bread, which is weird for a high end location. Worse, they marked dust free cat litter as on sale for @ $13.00, then charged $16.00 and took one dollar off, for $15.00. My local Belchertown store is soooo much better. Needless to say, I'll never shop here again.

But the main reason I am writing this review is to praise Magda at Big Y, who took care of everything for my son's 5th birthday party there. She was so wonderful with the kids, and gave an amazing tour. Our little party guests were so captivated to see the behind-the-scenes action at a place they've been to countless times before while their parent shopped. Unfortunately, staff cannot take gratuities, so the least I can do is sing her praises with an online review. She organized the whole event, decorated the party room with care, and arranged for all the food/beverages to be at the room, as well as cupcake decorating to be set up--and cleaned up! We could not be happier with her attentiveness, and for conducting an awesome Big Y birthday party to remember.

Big Y Amherst is one of my regular, weekly shopping stops. I especially enjoy their weekly sales on…read moremeat: The quality and value are very good. However, they play allot of games. I stopped in yesterday, 3/16/22, and they give me this BS story that all of the registers are down, except 2, but I can still download the app and also save ten dollars. People should seriously contemplate the kind of world we are moving in to, where we are all pawns lying to each other, to further enslave ourselves into the automated digital system. This type of system eliminates jobs, and feeds into the surveillance state, by tracking everything we are buying. Customers should be treated like people, as opposed to a commodity, where everyone's personal data is collected and sold off as a product. Now, if what I'm saying sounds a little crazy, let me ask you a question: In a nice world, do we flagrantly lie to people that registers aren't working, making people wait 30 minutes to check out of the store if they don't embrace your new technology? If this happens to you, and you care about living in a future where we still love each other, and treat people with real dignity and respect, I recommend shopping somewhere else. Don't allow the system to force you into their authoritarian nightmare world. Rather, you force them to be more caring about their employees and customers.

Tonight I wanted to give a shout out for the Tres Leches Cake which is FABULOUS! It's been available from Boston to Worcester to the Hadley locations and is always an item I pick up.

It's near the bakery area but always in the separated refrigerated section and sold by the slice. Cold cuppa moo juice and voila¡ heaven !

Cut it out. 2) The Rotisserie Chickens at whole foods--could you lay off the salt a tad. I get better tasting Rotisseries from Big Y and Stop and Shop. Technically yours would taste better if someone could teach the prep person--not so much salty brine. Common element of both situations--who's tasting what you prep people are cooking. Next time I'll hit customer service--There's were the Stars would come back. I know I could have asked for a refund, likely would have gotten one. BUT--it's grab and GO----

Toward closing time another employee yelled in a loud booming voice, "Listen everybody, the store"s closing in 5 minutes. All customers have to get out!" I kid you not. A new Aldi's being built in a nearby community. Hopefully they will be better. Low prices should not mean low customer service

Before the menu change, I ordered a vegan tofu reuben with their delicious slaw, called a "Cosmos."…read more It was so good, I ordered it again, thinking it was impossible for them to get it right two times in a row. They did. So I came back a THIRD time and ordered it AGAIN, just to see if they can still keep their vegan cheese melted just right on top. It was incredible, AGAIN. Now that I've gotten this out of the way, ask where it is on their new menu as it is under revision--I don't like the tempeh version as much. Onto the rest of the atmosphere of Cushman. One of the most pleasant features of Cushman Market and Cafe is that it is nestled at an important corner in northeast Amherst. You need to travel further west to get to The Mill District and not much opens there early, and there's little else I can recall in the other cardinal directions. It's a pleasant trip, with plenty of parking in front, behind, and in a strip of side road across the street. I've never been in the market, so let me keep talking about the Cafe. The atmosphere of the Cafe is wonderful, with locals, safety officers, and regulars all visiting at each meal hour from breakfast to lunch. Nestled inside what looks like an old barn, complete with doors still hanging, Cushman has memorabilia from decades of music, sports, politics, and news frozen under acrylic, different for many of their tables. The café seems to have at most 20 chairs, and the staff behind the counter will deliver it to your table, call your name, or leave other orders by a stand near the back entrance. Cushman Cafe offers a variety of meals, alongside baked goods and freshly mixed café drinks. While I'm not a fan of the switcherels, I have enjoyed their dirty Chai lattes, iced teas, fresh coffees, and free water if I recall in a pinch. They have gender neutral bathrooms--which is great if you're tired of waiting in line for one of two as they are large but single occupancy. They offer cold panini sandwiches, hot panini, all sorts of eggs, egg sandwiches, and egg breakfasts, vegan and vegetarian options, alongside a seemingly visible carnivorous focus for their new menu's default. If you had a chance to hop on a bus and travel around Amherst, or you were passing through to the highways, Cushman Cafe is worth a quick stop. I've rarely had to wait long for my meals even in busy hours, and this is because of the large and competent kitchen, who--if you'll remember--can get a delicious sandwich right any day of the week. I hope cell service returns there!
