We have gone here quite a few times and had no problems with the staff. Great location for us as it's not too far from our home. Although we go in with a mission on what we want to buy, we always browse around at other items and have found some nice to have items here. Setup and contents are similar to other Dollar General stores. read more

Went here today with my husband to pick up gift bags. No one was wearing a mask and the older woman at the register was very rude and miserable! Won't be back for sure. read more

But I *really* like the Big Y chain particularly the one in Groton & Old Lyme. Their deli is particularly good especially the pizzas & the Stromboli's. They use fresh home made dough & ingredients & the pizzas are made to order. I just ordered a pizza (the conveyor belt oven had been turned off for the evening so I wasn't able to order a Stromboli (which are EXCELLENT, and quite generous for $3.99!) I ordered a ham, spinach & mushroom & it was DELICIOUS. Their pizza sauce is fantastic: a yummy mix of tangy & sweet red tomato sauce. I have purchased mini desserts in the bakery & they were all fabulous. (Cannolis & the Lobster tails). The woman in the deli making pizzas & Stromboli's is very pleasant, accommodating, efficient & kind. She also makes great pizzas & strombolis. I ordered a few grinders from here at different times & they were all delicious. They have a large selection of bread, proteins, veggies & condiments which is great. The prices in the store are okay/not bad. (I found the East Lyme SNShop to be on the pricier side). The selection is very good here too. I purchased a small wheatberry & spinach side salad here tonight too that looked fantastic. (They also have prepared quinoa bowls also which looked great!). The produce section is also solidly good. I bought tangelos, blood oranges & lemons tonight & they were all good quality. I DEFINITELY recommend this grocery store. I have been here a dozen times over the past 6 months. I am interested in the sushi also... but grocery sushi can be dicey so I will likely only order when I see the sushi chef in the deli). Will update more as I try different selections!

As far as I know, it is not certified organic, but the prices are higher than organic at stores like Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. A very small cabbage was over $4. A bunch of radishes was $5.50. A 10-oz tomato was $3.99. The prepared foods are equally pricy, and vary widely in quality. A small tub of their "schmear", a mix of dairy and scallions that I add to potato salad dressing (it works well) is $8.50. A very small (for 2) peach galette was $8.95, but delicious and perfectly baked. A berry scone ($4.50) was a heavy lump of underbaked dough, a huge difference from the light, flaky, golden scones I get from Dagmar's in Old Saybrook. A ginger-pecan scone was better. A raspberry thumbprint "cookie" fell into pieces when I placed it in my pastry box ($4.95) -- it tasted good, but the texture was more like a lump of cold oatmeal. A single slice of house pizza ($7) made me sad -- the concept was good, but the broccoli was burnt and chewy. Most of their baked goods are too heavy and underbaked. The staff is friendly, warm, and welcoming, as well they ought to be. The parking is hideous -- cramped and inadequate, with no handicapped that I could see. The actual farmstand building is small, hot, and crowded at peak times. To sum up: I think most people assume the produce is organic, but there are no signs to that effect. The refrigerated prepared foods are generally tasty. The baked goods are a crapshoot, and at the prices, it's not worth the risk of their not being worth the money.

We were able to cut our own flowers fresh and they also had some already cut for us. They described options for greenery, how to cut certain flowers and just let us loose to pick and start arranging. We also had delicious morning glory muffins and coffee while we worked. We appreciated that assistance was available as needed but the class was not too instructional. Overall it was a really fun experience. Hopefully I'll be in town at a time we can take advantage of a farm dinner. Loved learning about the many options for outings at this beautiful farm for activities and appreciated they have opened up the property for activities.

She was so kind while taking our order, and serving us in the dining area. Another woman was kind enough to bring crayons and paper out for my 3 year old to color on while we waited for our sandwiches(: The place feels like home when you walk in, it's bright, warm, cozy, and smells like great food and baked goods that's done with love and care.
