“It's been a while since I've been in this store since I moved out-of-state but It really hasn't changed. The only thing I would say is that it continues to get more expensive. there is one bright spot though, and she helps at check outs.. she's always friendly and upbeat and going out of her way. She's amazing and I don't even know her name.”
“Great store! Super friendly staff in all departments. Their veggies are fresh, baked goods, especially their Carrot Cake, is terrific. And with the Big Y card, there are some discounts to be had.”
“I like this place for getting a healthy lunch when I'm out on the road. They have a salad bar and some times I just get some carrot sticks and hard boiled eggs for lunch. Sometimes I get a kombucha. I'm trying to re-engineer my gut micro biome. I used to get a dollar chicken sandwich and Diet Coke from Wendy's. This is much better for me. They also have some hot prepared food. Last time I got some cooked vegetables in a balsamic sauce and a bit of chicken with curry flavor and red peppers. It's very healthy, lots of vegetables and not very expensive at all. I also like that it's quiet and not crowded like Whole Foods. It's a quick in-and-out and the guys at the register are pleasant.”
“*UPDATE* Shortly after posting this review, a manager at LaBonne's actually took the time to call and apologize for this situation and get more information on it. We greatly appreciate that and as such my original 1 Star review will be changed to the 5 Star review that they otherwise would have deserved. For anyone reading this going forward, know that the issues below have been acknowledged and addressed.-- This review will be quite long, but out of respect for LaBonne's and any potential readers, a full explanation of a 1 star review from what I would otherwise give a 5 star review is owed. If you read it all, I appreciate you taking the time. --My family has been going to LaBonne's Market for years, ever since it was under different ownership and called Oliver's. It is and always has been an excellent store for easy, quick grocery shopping in town with more than enough variety and fairly dependable freshness.That makes posting this review very hard, but unfortunately necessary. For all the good at LaBonne's, there is one downside that now sours the entire experience of shopping there. That downside is the Deli Department. The actual quality of the product is fine but the service is not. To be clear, this is ONLY an issue with the Deli.The problem is that once you ask for your slice and okay the size, if you do not pay attention, they will change the size and make it thicker to make their job easier, at the expense of giving customers far thicker meat or cheese than requested. This often ruins meals, wastes product, and therefore wastes my time and money.Today though was the event that prompted my review, as this crossed the line from terrible service to egregious behavior. There is one worker who intentionally went very slow, to the point their co-workers were clearly becoming inconvenienced and annoyed, because we asked for the cheese to be sliced thin and stuck around to watch them cut it. Then they very clearly and intentionally stacked it quite messy as shown in the photo, I presume out of spite because their annoyance was palpable at that point.I understand people can be tiring and stressful, but at the end of the day it is their job to interact with people and fulfill their orders. It is completely unacceptable for a worker to act so spiteful and vindictive simply because someone asked them to do their job.I will not be posting names because at the end of the day, I go there every week and don't wish to see anyone fired. Although, people who go frequently and fellow employees can likely infer who I'm talking about. All I wanted to do was share this so people could be aware of the achilles heel of this otherwise great establishment if they are new customers and maybe let returning customers who have had similar experiences know they are not alone.In a perfect world, perhaps this might spark an internal conversation there that could set things back on the right path without any individuals losing their job or being too strictly reprimanded. Maybe the individual mentioned would be better off and, happier even, in a different role for example, I don't know.If you took the time to read this far, thank you very much. If you are an employee or owner of Labonne's and read this far, thank you for your time and your excellent store. It really would be a 5 Star review for me if this wasn't an issue, but for my family it has become a very large one. Large enough to convince to post a review (an extreme rarity for me) in hopes of seeing things improve.Thank you again for your time and attention.”

“Love this store! With all the price hikes going on it's great to find a bargain with good products, I love going there and finding cool things for my home and friends. Always a surprise in the gadget aisle”
“They added self-serve checkout since the last time I've been to this location and that sped up my checkout process. I was able to grab a bunch of snack options for a house warming party.”

“Aldi has everyday deals on top of weekly sales, & most items are cheaper than similar stores. They have fruits, canned & packaged goods, dairy, etc that are hard to find even at larger chains, too. There's ample parking, plenty of shopping carts, & friendly cashiers that make the shopping experience enjoyable.”
“I truly love this place. They have essentially anything you might need at any given time. And the staff is also great. I've been going there for a while now and don't see any reason why I wouldn't keep going there. It's a great store!”
“I bought some steak to try and it was amazing. You can almost cut it with a fork. I’ve been to restaurants where the steak is $80+ and you have to buy your sides. I would take this cut of meat any day over that. Will definitely be back.”

“Aldi's always gets a 5 star. Great food options and prices always. Always knowledgeable employees and good service. It's like the company actually has humanity for its employees!”
“Love Aldi's! It's the only place I go where I feel like they actually care about the consumer. (P.S. get ride of the self checkouts, it was a bad idea.)”
“The staff are very courteous and the butcher will cut up your meat , very kind. Clean place, yet needs more Caribbean products. They didn't have green bananas for cooking and no real Jamaican fresh hot peppers. They should begin selling red stripe flavored beer like NYC”
“I’ve recently moved here from Florida just off rt 80 in Guilford, I was in the store this morning 7/28/24, and I found the store to be very clean and the selection of cheeses to meats are on point, the produce was beautiful and very fresh! Artichoke leaves nice and tight, asparagus too. Typically Walmart’s produce is over the top gorgeous, I was loving Shop Rites this day.
I asked for lady fingers from an associate in the cookie ilse and he was extremely helpful!!!
The Bagels in the bakery are awesome! Do not even bother going to NYC.
The Ttiramisu they sell is the best I’ve ever had and I get tiramisu everywhere I go, hope they never change to another supplier of Tiramisu!!!
I just love this store
Big Y not so good.”
“Great produce, nice and clean place, I always get the Italian fruit cake for birthdays, it's so delicious, very popular and very recommended cake, in general is a great place for groceries.”

“This is where we typically do our weekly grocery shopping. Big y is usually better than stop and shop or ShopRite. Not as cheap as Walmart, but better quality and more emphasis on local foods. Clean and friendly/helpful staff.”
