A dear friend wanted to get me something special for my birthday. She said the small package would…read morearrive Wednesday or Thursday. Wednesday, I checked. There was nothing at my front door. When I got up early Thursday, there was a Sprouts bag with two high end chocolate bars, some special looking pure peanut butter plus three containers of TreeLine cashew cheese and a tray of spicy tuna sushi. The last items require refrigeration. But there wasn't any. No chemical ice packages. The bag was sitting in the sun. It was 74 degrees. There had been no notice that the bag arrived. How long had the food been out in the sun? I wasn't certain. Since the sushi and the cheese might have gone bad, I wasn't going to eat them. Instead, I called the nearest Sprouts store in Avenel, New Jersey. Melisha Webber, the head cashier, answered. From her first words, she was understanding. It was clear she wanted to help. Even though Instacart had made the errors - no refrigeration and lack of notice - she wanted to make it right. "Tell me what you had,": she said. "Please come here and we'll give you fresh items." She didn't know me. She didn't ask for proof. She just wanted to do the right thing. During a break in my schedule, I drove to Sprouts. When I asked for Melisha, two clerks already knew my name. "You must be Ron," one said with a smile. "We have some items for you in the refrigerator." Melisha took the items from me and immediately threw them away. She wasn't taking any chances. "Let me get you the fresh items," she said. "I hope you don't mind. I gave you two orders of sushi." This is what true customer service is. A person who doesn't look for blame. She just works on a solution. It was an honor to meet her.

A must try pizza spot in the Woodbridge area. We stopped in for lunch on Good Friday and there were…read moreso many meatless options. The plain is a classic favorite. You cannot go wrong there. The tomato sauce is sweet and the crunch of the thin style crust is delcious. The garlic knots ooh they were garlicky and fluffy. The marinara sauce pairs well to tone done the garlic as they were potent for my liking. But my boyfriend inhaled them. The Sicilian slice was different as the crust itself was fluffy and not dense at all. The vodka margherita was amazing and easily my favorite. We also ordered a tricolor pizza to go which had their tomato sauce, vodka sauce, pesto, and fresh mozzarella on top. They have their own parking lot and it's easy to get in and out of. Service was fantastic and extremely friendly. The inside had ample tables and chairs to eat at and was extremely clean.

This time when I came in to pick up, there was someone there to greet incoming patrons and hand off their order. He was friendly and quickly gave us our bag. I was disappointed when I got home and found that two of my favorite ingredients in my salad were missing. To me, these ingredients made the salad desirable (goat cheese and candied pecans) so it was a real bummer and to make matters worse, the balsamic vinegar I received with it was not enough to cover all the greens and grains, so the salad was very dry until I added balsamic vinegar of my own to it. Luckily, my guests food was all there and made the way they requested. I am keeping my rating the same because I contacted customer service to complain about my expensive lackluster salad and the representative was friendly and actually showed empathy to my frustration. She quickly resolved my issue satisfactorily.

I am still disappointed by the lack of response from the corporate office on this matter, but the Edison location was extremely helpful in resolving my issue. Initial review: My wife and I have been going to True Food Kitchen for a while now, and really enjoy their healthy food options, but their recent lack of customer service is very disappointing. We recently purchased a gift card for True Food Kitchen but when we had problems with it, the local restaurant wasn't able to do anything. We reached out to the company they parner with for the gift cards, who told us to reach out to corporate. I left two voicemails with True Food corporate with no response, in addition to leaving email with no response either. I would appreciate it even if they couldn't do anything that they would at least get back to us and let us know that, but nothing. I commend True Food for offering such healthy eating options for people but without good customer service, I can't see it really lasting for long.

The Food Starter: Edamame Dumplings, Salad: Organic Tuscan Kale, & main course: Vegan Double Cheeseburger (WOW‼). I would recommend this to everyone for sure. The only minuscule disappointment was that our beverages were delayed, and the Edamame Dumplings were a little disappointing; in that it was lacking a very small portion of Edamame. My daughter did place another order, and this time the Edamame was well served. Yet she was not offered a compliment credit towards the unsatisfactory portion on first order. The good atmosphere was vibrant and excitable in the Mix. Definitely add to your To-Do-Visit

Happy Saturday Adventurers!…read more This place is amazing and super cute! They have a wide selections of items to chose from as well as already set recipes of the bowls. The bowls are defiantly deceiving since they look small they're filling and deep to hold a lot of the base product. I got the Sweet Palm which is kale based, with bee pollen. The bowl was so packed with good tasting items that I had at least 3 mouthfuls left, I was stuffed. Everyone was patient and very nice, letting me try the bases to figure out if I even liked açaí. This would be a great place for after the gym if they had a few more options for protein, other than Chocolate Dream smoothie. I did see that they had a Green Energy that may be a great option when I go there next. Finding gems like this in my town is hard and I am so glad they're here!

I had the truffle mushroom, my sister at the French dip, and honestly I dont remember which burger the other was because I was knee deep in mine. Sweet potato fried were amazing. Truffle fries were ok but disclaimer: I got mine without parm since I dont like cheese but my sisters had it with cheese and said they were great. For dessert Alejandro recommended the tres leches but my boring sister wanted the apple pie. It was exactly what it said it was but honestly I left wanting to try the tres leches.

The cheese bread is so soft and yummy. I also love their mousse cake, eclairs, and chocolate teacups. Most grocery stores don't have a bakery with high quality desserts like these. In the frozen section, they also carry my favorite ice cream, which no other retailer carries at the moment. I will say, some of the ready-to-eat options are not the best. The sushi is still grocery store sushi and by no means exceeds expectations. I often pick up a hot sub, which also isn't the best I've had, but it does the trick. When I do need to order things at one of these stations, the service here is really nice. Wegmans also has a pretty nice seating area if you're stopping in for a meal. Wegmans is truly a dream grocery store.
