The quality of the various hams was quite good, with adequate oiliness and aroma; the cheese was rich and creamy without any particularly strong fermented taste. However, the vegetables and fruits did not appear very fresh, and the ciabatta was dry, hard, and chewy, requiring considerable effort to chew.

I just visited Spirited Gourmet today to learn more about a program they participate in called "Too…read moreGood to Go." I was interested in this program as it is geared toward two noble goals: reducing food waste; and addressing food insecurity. I downloaded the app and purchased a "surprise package" online that had a retail value of $13.00 and cost me $4.27. The gentleman behind the food counter knew immediately what I meant when I mentioned the program and gave me my surprise bag containing two baguettes from Iggy's as well as a one pound of fresh, gluten free gnocchi (I had indicated that I was gluten free in the app). All items were within their freshness dates and the gnocchi were excellent. The employee who assisted me was both extremely courteous and knowledgeable about the program. I really want to commend both the Spirited Gourmet for participating in Too Good to Go as well as the program itself. I live in Belmont and because of this experience will certainly frequent this store-I hope you will as well! Thank you, Spirited Gourmet!

Thank you and God bless you, Savenor's for lasting so long, and most of all, Chef Julia Child who blessed us mere mortals with the Art of French Cooking! You were a pioneer and role model. My Mom gave me my first cookbook a labor of love co-authored by Julia Child and Simone Beck "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" as a gift. I did at least learn how to prepare a proper omelette, and once, a good Hollandaise! Bon Appétit!

The produce is soggy (parsley), brown (romaine lettuce), or molding and straight up rotting (berries). The incredible price markup is just the soggy cherry on top. Feels like the shelf stable stuff is half out, like it was during the pandemic. I could only find one kind of plain old milk chocolate bar in the chocolate section. Organic onions in a different aisle from regular onions, but not so for avocados, leading to confused mendicants wandering about. The stars are for the staff who are the only good and normal part of the place. By the end, I felt as wilted and bewildered as the greens section.

A nice gesture but totally inadequate as I would have no way of knowing what products (fish or produce, for example) are available at what price. Your CS staff person told me that they had requested carts more than once. This is unacceptable!

With a wine-vending grocery store right next to my apartment and Trader Joe's boasting tasty reds under $10, though, there's not much of a draw for me to hit a boutique wine shop. I can imagine getting there and parking could be a hassle too.
