Decided to stop by at Trader Joe's before heading back home & it was my first time going to this…read moreTrader Joe's location in Needham! I am familiar with this area but never visited this location before today. Much smaller location compared to the ones I usually go to. Though on the smaller side, this did not mean at all that they had less items. I found the store to be well stocked & was able to find exactly what I was looking for! I went in wanting to get two ciabatta baguettes & they had exactly that ;) I would come back again if in the area and nearby.

I love this Trader Joe's, it is one of my favorites in the Greater Boston area. They are always…read morefully stocked with everything and the staff are literally some of the kindest people I have ever met in my life. I feel extremely happy when I come to this store. Also their frozen food rocks. They have tons of cool options from different cultures. My favorites are the indian dishes, flatbreads, spanakopita, and orange chicken. I always end up buying like 200 pounds of food here and spending more than I should, and it's still relatively cheap. I love this store with every fiber of my being.

Always in stock with Dadu ice cream which I loved growing up- very fond memories of stopping here for that treat. The cashier usually takes a while but if you're not in a rush it's fine. I will never say no to a Baza trip, but I do prefer the Bazaar in Allston over this location.

He also has pastas that are locally sourced and different international snacks . The market is in a nice area and if you go to another shop in the area and it's apparent that you did so, Matt offers a small discount for supporting local businesses.

After a filling dinner nearby, we stopped at the renovated Roche Brothers for a few supplies. The…read morestore is smaller by suburban standards (much narrower aisles) and contains an edited selection of groceries. We could still find at least 8 apple varieties, enough for the most picky of apple connoisseurs or those looking for the right apples to fill the perfect apple pie. The deli selection was robust; I love the nutrition information labels. On the day of our visit, ice cream was on sale so most of us picked up our favorite pints because when we are talking about Ben and Jerry's, everyone wants their own. Checkout was quick; sometimes, it pays to shop later on in the day.

A very, very overpriced place. I went to a dental office nearby, so I swung by this grocery store…read moreand was surprised. Everything--from veggies and meat to other ingredients--was at least 20% more expensive than other grocery stores.

I had the chance to stop by their Strawberry Festival last month and it was an enjoyable event…read more Unfortunately given the 1 lane road either way they caused their own traffic jam in/out and ran out of parking in the main lot. My friend and I wound up in the overflow a little after 11am when the event started. I've always seen signs around when I'm driving in the area for other events or goods that they are selling. In the fall they seem especially popular as well for pumpkins and fall activities. The market area is brightly lit. Given the neighborhood, as everyone else has commented expect prices to be at a premium. The samples we tried at the Strawberry Festival were tasty. My favorite was the short cake. They also offered tickets at $1/ticket for some other paid offerings such as their ice cream which I skipped. They had someone dressed up as the Green Monster so that was a fun photo op for the family too. The event had a lot of staff so each station was moving. In fact one of the owners/managers came by seeing a long queue near the entrance by the pasta said we could walk around to the other stations since no one should be waiting in a line (ignore the line to park and get in haha.) I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to visit but it's an option for local. I've also gone to Wagon Wheel which is smaller for seasonal / market type items.

Violante Farms is a fabulous place but a little deceiving. When I pulled in, I assumed I was going…read moreto a farmstand. Yes a large farmstand. Once inside, it was more like a semi firearm, stand supermarket. Some items are grown on the farm some sourced from other farms and some just regular grocery items that you would find at any generic supermarket. The vegetables that were grown on this farm were all marked and were fabulous but they were very far and few between. they were selling some local farms goods which increased the options of locally grown. I did like the bread section some locally made in some generic.. they also have foods that are prepackaged. I like the items that were made at the farm. The others were just overpriced generic items. all in all I'd say about 40 to 50% is grown and produced, the rest are just basic generic grocery items with a higher price on them. The space is fabulous very refreshing and comfortable to walk around. the staff always seems nice, polite, and willing to answer questions. I definitely suggest that you stop in as it is a great place to shop. as for parking, they have a huge private parking lot and space outside to sit. They also have greenhouse plants for sale.
