Shaw's is a grocery store located at 34 Essex St in Melrose, MA. It is described as a place that has everything, good for when you forget a few items. The store offers Grocery Delivery and DriveUp & Go™, though some caution that the delivery staff can be young and may screw up orders. The store features several departments. The bakery has birthday cakes, custom cakes, and cupcakes, including a noted delicious chocolate truffle bomb cake. The deli offers a variety of party trays and platters, with an Order Ahead service. The butcher block has an assortment of meat and seafood, including sushi trays, and the staff there can be helpful with special requests. The produce department is full of fruits and vegetables, which one reviewer finds always crisp and delicious, though another has experienced bad produce. The floral department has beautifully curated arrangements. Reviews on the store are mixed. Some find it tidy with good bargains and decent food for its compact size, praising the self-checkout and cash registers. However, others complain about high prices, expired food, and note that the staff seems stressed. Customer behavior can also be an issue. Despite the flaws, many state they will return or have become converts to this particular location.
Shaw's has everything,prices are good and they are a nice clean store!

I order online from Shaws and find their services are great. I’ve never been disappointed. If there’s a question, I call they store, and they accommodate my requests. I don’t understand these negative comments. I truly appreciate having Shaws. I use Whole Foods as well as Amazon but always come back to Shaw’s.
