Foodstuffs is a great and interesting lunch option in Lake Forest. All of their offerings are very…read morefresh and high quality, including their bakery items (look closely in the display case for potential bargains!) Starting with the salads...for around $12...you pick from an excellent selection of fresh ingredients and they toss it up. You can have them chop it as well. Their dressings are custom made and the ginger dressing, in particular, is delightful. The sandwiches...also about $12...are large and also made to order. (If you order a Panini expect a wait of around 15 minutes.) Their bakery goods are to die for! Yes, you could run around the corner to Gerhards but you'll pay much less here at Foodstuffs for a larger, better dessert (and maybe even fresher). It's not all perfect, however. We recently took home one of their frozen Shepards Pies and while the crust was great and it had plenty of meat filling there was way, way too much salt in the recipe. Also, I've had soup here a few times and it was good, but not great. As an aside, the service here is definitely courteous but can be slightly standoffish at times so don't expect the kind of super friendly service you may experience elsewhere in Lake Forest.

I wish I would have bought more of that bread. What a hidden gem in Lake Forest. A must see and visit.

This store's selection seems much better and fresher. The mushrooms I've bought at Skokie have always been kinda gross looking, whereas these were so much more fresh. I may start coming here instead. But, Jewel is still stupidly overpriced for anything that isn't part of the "For U" coupon sale. Whole Foods is cheaper for regular pantry staples, but the produce sales at Jewel can be pretty solid.

Shopping at Jewels is not like Trader Joes or Whole Foods and it appears the store is years behind the times. As a result, I have a rather limited selection to pick from and many in fact most options are not pesticide free or organic. Other than that I have found that customer service has often been good. Another problem though is how limited isle descriptions are and how I often have to ask where something is.

Upon arrival, not only was no one there at Beri Good, but customer service was very apathetic and annoyed when I asked for help. They called someone on the intercom twice, and then disappeared. When someone finally showed up they acted as if it was my fault for rushing them when they were in the ladies room. I placed my order over 20 minutes ago! And I only placed it online because we were in a rush! From beginning to end, it was a very negative experience. I usually go the the Sunset Foods in Highland Park and everyone is wonderful there. This was not what I expected from a Sunset Foods. I will not go to this location again.

We recently moved to the area and had heard great things about Woodman's, so we were looking…read moreforward to shopping at your store. Unfortunately, our experience has been disappointing. Compared with other restaurants and retailers in the area, where we have consistently encountered exceptionally friendly and welcoming customer service, Woodman's seems to fall noticeably short. On each of our shopping visits, employees have generally failed to greet or acknowledge us, even when we approach them for assistance. When we do ask for help, their responses often come across as curt, dismissive, and as though helping a customer is an inconvenience. For a company that takes pride in being employee-owned, this is particularly disappointing. One would hope that employee ownership would foster a greater sense of pride, engagement, and commitment to the customer experience, along with a shared interest in the store's success. Woodman's has a great concept and offers shoppers a lot of potential value. However, the lack of warmth and welcoming customer service creates an uninviting atmosphere that detracts from the overall shopping experience. We wanted to share this feedback because we would genuinely like to see Woodman's live up to its reputation and become a store we enjoy visiting regularly. A simple greeting, a friendly attitude, and a willingness to assist customers would go a long way toward making shoppers feel welcome and appreciated.
