After stepping into the disaster areas that best describe neighboring convenience stores on Boston…read moreAvenue, this one is a godsend. It's clean, everything is extremely well stocked, and you can find a fair selection of snacks and beverages. Hot Fries? Of course. Cherry Coke Zero? You got it. Canned sodas from NBA All-Star Shaquille O'Neill? Surprisingly, yes. Aside from actually feeling like a store, and not a mini-warehouse of forgotten comestibles (yeah, I'm looking at you other convenience store down the block), it's got that extra something special -- the staff is super friendly. Not that I'm looking to formulate any long-lasting friendships, but it's nice to know I can buy my Slim Jims from a smiling face. And that smile bumps it from a four to a five.

Hooray for convenience seriously, a few yards and a stones throw from my apartment.

It's small, lots of stuff in there all crammed in but it has, so far gotten the job done for OJ, cheese, milk, snacks and a variety of other items I've found myself grabbing.

First time at this grocery store and were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked this store is!…read moreThey have everything from staples to spices to snacks!! Lots of ready to eat foods in the frozen section including yummy desserts! For Diwali they had seasonal festive lamps and decoration items. The gentleman at the counter Monovar was very friendly and helpful! We asked for a few items and he pointed them out to us. They sell homemade biryani too - he convinced us to buy 2 containers of it lol! Great salesman! It was actually pretty good too. Came in handy for a dinner party we had. We bought a lot of stuff and as we were leaving he offered us free ice cream bars from the freezer! Parking was easy on a side street. Will definitely be back to stock up next time!

I am new to the area and went for the first time tonight because I read online they carried a specific brew I was looking for. When I arrive, I was amazed by how great this place really is... think Whole Foods meets your liquor and convenience needs. All the food items had a hand picked feel, health conscious options with such variety! One of the stores family members (I believe the owners son) was as the register and was such a pleasure to speak with -- very friendly and polite. I told him I was so exited to find the store and that I will definitely be coming back! Who wants to make a trip to the grocery when you can drive down the street, not stress and buy food (even fresh produce) for any meal?!

He is constantly on his cell phone, and never ask if you need help. No smile or pleasantries. If you ask for a bag for your items, he literally throws it at you. Worse customer service EVER!

In my mind, the only reason to go to Mr. Grocer is if you need lottery tickets, pre-packaged latin chips/snack foods, or pre-packaged latin baked goods. (At least I think that's what they are.) The store is very small, quite cluttered, and on the occassion I've visited, rather dirty. While there is an interesting selection of latin produce, the bananas I bought were very odd - tiny (and yes, they were bananas) and though greenish on the outside they were brown and bruised on the inside. They do not carry beer, not that I care. If you are in a bind and need milk you might find it here - but mainly Mr. Grocer seems to supply lottery tickets and junk food to the Waltham masses.

This is one of a handful of Brazilian/Latin American stores in the area. What sets it apart is the…read morebutcher shop and fresh bread. While the store/owner are not Brazilian, they do specialize in Brazilian products, everything from havaianas (Brazilian flip flops) to nail polish and hair products to Brigadeiro in a can. I love that they make having a Brazilian cookout easy peasy: the cuts of meat, already marinated meats, and chicken hearts already seasoned and skewered. 3 stars because they can improve on customer service: they won't always give you the fresh bread, they never tell you that they charge for plastic bags, and a string of other incidents over the years. Not the place to go to get more bang for your buck, but definitely the place to go if you are looking for a taste of Brazil. They also carry other Latin American products.

I did need some assistance today and the lady behind the Service desk was so helpful. I wanna again thank her but the lady behind the register I can't say what she was on this thing but use your imagination. I did make a small complaint to the Manager, but he said he would take care of it. My experience with her was more about what's convenient for her and not what was better for me. The Customer Service Manager took care of it but again why pass off responsibility to someone else. * FYI I was advised that the handicapped vehicle was lost or stolen.
