Dropped by this grocery store every day that we stayed in London. Convenient and affordable.
This particular branch was located inside on the lowest level of the Westfield Stratford City mall.
Every morning before heading to the tube (subway), we would stop by here to grab breakfast and buy lunch for later. Their baked goods are quite good and cheap! I actually preferred their doughnuts here over the ones at Krispy Kreme. The sandwiches that we tried for lunch were just mediocre. Good price though.
I probably would not give this grocery chain a second though if it was located in my hometown in the U.S. It reminds me of the Fresh N Easy grocery chain in the States.
Being in London, though, Waitrose was an awesome find. The prices here seemed so affordable compared to most of London. It was nice to save money and shop here instead of going to overpriced restaurants.
Wish I had discovered their Ice Cream section sooner. They so many flavors I wanted to try that were unavailable in the US of A. The top flavor on my wish list that I saw here was the Ben & Jerrys Baked Alaska flavor!!
If not for the mediocre sandwiches, I'd give Waitrose 5 stars. With that being said, I would not hesitate to shop here if I lived in London. They are a clean store with a friendly staff and affordable priced merchandise. Yay! I'm a fan! read more
