Went on a Monday around 3pm, it was still packed. I watch another shopper, for some reason, grab…read moreand flip over an entire box of peaches from the top of the peach display. 4/5 workers quickly came to the scene and started cleaning it up within seconds. I haven't been in awhile but love the new layout of the store. Seems like it was needed to fit all the products and to make the aisles more easily accessible. The line for sandwiches was 5 people deep, lines at all the checkout counters as well. Bought fresh peaches, cucumbers, potatoes, and more. Rave: do NOT leave the store with one of the new blueberry handpies. This is probably the best handpie I've ever had. I popped it in the airfryer and it came out so flaky and gooey. Not insanely sweet either. Wish I bought more of them. Ate it too quickly to get a photo so I looked one up, it's wrapped in parchment paper and in a basket next to the donuts.

Fridays= monster cookies so on the way home, I stopped to see if any were still available. Scoreread more

We love Crescent Market in Siesta Key!…read more A smaller market on the south side of the Key, it's always an experience we love. The outside is in a great location next to Capt Curt's and the Daquiri Deck, it's unassuming, but always well kept inside. Located within walking distance of our condo, we go several times when we are visiting each year, as my kids love hunting for the ducks and I love checking out all of the specialty food and drinks they sell. The market itself has a small selection of everyday essentials sprinkled with specialty items that you don't often see in other places. Being in a beach vacation town, one of the things they have most of are drinks - a walk-in cooler with all of the beers and canned drinks you can imagine, several aisles of great wines, and even some specialty THC drinks. Tucked in the back is a little bakery and deli with Boars Head meats and locally made pies - both are a must! We tried the chopped Italian sandwich and we always have to get the banana caramel pie and tropical fruit key lime pie. The banana especially is by far one of the best pies you'll ever eat, don't miss it! Because we love this place, I'm giving it 5 stars, but this last year we did have one of the rudest customer service experiences yet. Everyone is typically very friendly and helpful, but the older lady working the front register was judgement and made us very uncomfortable. My 14 year old son had helped his sisters (4, 2, and 1) find their ducks and she didn't want to let any of them participate because he was the one who showed them to her (because they are stop small to reach over the belt). We had bought several items and this was one of the many trips we had made there that week. I'm only writing this in hopes that the owner sees it because when I asked why she was being so mean, she said because the owners were strict. I'd hope that they would actually encourage a teenager to help his younger siblings instead of punishing them all.

Sushi created by this chef is the VERY best among the stores-- rice perfect soft not hard poorly cooked, pieces don't fall apart instantly, high turnover so ALWAYS fresh ( I am Japanese American). Deli staff do the best job making sandwiches. Bigger selection of brands because of greater shelf capability in this recently fully renovated store. I really like the organization, placement and ' flow' of products as you walk through the store. Manager often helps bag to get better consumer input. Employees seem more content here. Always spotless.

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and we loved every bite! Thank you, Jen, for making our first dinner while visiting for the weekend such a wonderful experience. You were amazing, and we truly appreciate you!

I have a hard time with this one.... Love my TJs - from NOLA…read moreto Siesta Key to Asheville. And this location has some amazing people, like my cashier today was so personable and friendly. But in the same breath there were several employees that were so intent on restocking that they glared at customers for the crime of attempting to pick out their groceries. Or myself, who stood beside someone named Chris who absolutely refused to move and was almost irritated that I was making several selections from the same area, and not fast enough, that he clearly wanted to unload a box into. Since he refused to move I ended up walking away without several items. Like how are you angry at people for grocery shopping when you work at a grocery? Anyways... I love TJ's items, always will, I guess the misery at this location will be something we just have to withstand when we're home on Siesta Key.

Now that I've been to a bunch more TJ's I must say they have a lot of space in this location. Usually the aisles are pretty cramped but this one is super nice and spacious. Parking lot is ok, not bad at all. The worse one to this date is still Tampa. Since Sarasota has a new Trader Joe's in UTC, I often go there, but this one is still a good one. UTC parking lot is the biggest being in a strip mall, but I think I think I like this one better.

If you like being bullied and lied to by staff, this is the store for you…read more This store was fine until an employee decided to be a bully when I had an issue at Self Checkout. I could not understand what my bully was saying due to her accent. I am hearing impaired. The other checkout employee, who I could understand refused to assist, which I believe is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. When I asked for a manager, I was lied to multiple times. I was told there was no manager onsite. I was told the manager was on lunch. I was told the manager wouldn't be in until the following morning. I was told I couldn't leave my contact information for the manager because it "would violate my privacy?!!!" I was presented with an employee claiming to be a manager. Finally, the manager "that wasn't there" appeared. I don't understand why I was treated this way. I do not understand why I was lied to. There are no other affordable full grocery options available in the area. Publix charges 30%+ more for their groceries. Basically, Walmart has determined that if we workers want to be able to buy affordable groceries we have to accept being treated horribly and No, they will not accommodate you disabilities if they don't want to.
