I would stop there for lunch at the hot bar and I would stop to pick up stuff for dinner that night. Ever since the Stay at home Order I didn't want to go to Walmart or Meijers bc of the crowds. Midtown Fresh started there curbside pickup and online order and it had made such a huge difference to my shopping. I order only and pick it up the same day. Walmart can't even give me a date available right now to schedule a pickup, even with how big they are. Midtown Fresh can and WILL take care of you. I will continue to drive from Portage to Kalamazoo's Midtown Fresh to get my groceries from now on. I am not going back to the big chains anymore.

We purchased multiple packages of New York strip that were all stocked in the same cooler under a…read moreclearly marked $6.99/lb sale sign. When entering our receipt at home, we discovered that about half were charged at $12.99/lb. My wife called immediately and was told it was her responsibility to check every individual package, even though they were all displayed together under the sale tag. A short time later the owner called and offered to make it right, which we appreciated. I attempted to update my original review to reflect that resolution, but found that I had been blocked from the store's Facebook page and could no longer access my review. Posting this simply so other customers are aware to double-check pricing, even when items are stocked under a single sale sign.

It's that Goldilocks-just-right blend of big enough to have everything you want without being so big that you get lost. There's so much organic goodness. Plus, they've also got some really legit perks like an in-building bar, plus one of the best restaurants in town, a gelateria, and a bakery. And the staff seems to really love being there and helping their shoppers. They also seem to have come up with a doable way to handle demand for pick-up orders, which is so crucial during this crazy time. I keep seeing people posting about placing grocery orders a day in advance at other stores, only to find the order had been mysteriously cancelled after they've been waiting for it for hours. I'm definitely super grateful for our local grocery stores during this tough time -- they really seem to be doing right by both their staff and their customers.

Let me tell you how fantastic this hidden gem is:…read more 1) The owner is the friendliest guy in Kalamazoo. You may see him at the Farmer's Market, or running into his neighbor's restaurant, Nonla Burger, for a snack, or being very, very helpful at the store. You can identify him by his HUGE smile and welcoming manner. 2. Fresh meat, of all kinds, Lately, we're really into the tiny cubed bits of beef, for a quick spicy stir fry, but there are also all kinds of sausages, and spiced meat for fajitas, etc. 3. All kinds of tortillas - both corn and wheat. 4. Fresh veggies, including papaya, aloe, tomatillos, avocados, and a slew of hot peppers. 5. Speaking of hot peppers, you'll find a variety of dried ones in front of the meat counter, and on the spice rack. 6. ROASTED PORK every weekend! It's in a blue cooler by the cash register, and you just pick out the bits you want, and have them weighed and sealed up at the meat counter. 7. At the farmer's market stand, get the fresh chips, freshly made salsa, and our favorite, homemade tamales. YUM. Now, I could go on and on (all kinds of canned goods, including Dominican red beans; dried goods; laundry soap; pinatas; and more), but the main thing is that you know you're in an authentic shop when people from that culture shop there. This is clearly a hub for excellent food, supplies, and even medicine from abroad. We go here at least once a week!

But we were out of a couple of essentials and thought we would see if we could find them here on our way back from our hike at Asylum Lake on Sunday. It seemed like everything was pretty well stocked other than flour and yeast (they had a couple bags of flour but no yeast as far as I could see him), but they did have plenty of some staples other stores have been out of lately including bagged onions and potatoes. And they have are coveted Bell's Oberon, which was released a few days early this year since our Kalamazoo holiday of Oberon Day won't be able to be celebrated as socially as usual. What really impressed me was how incredibly dedicated the staff was to keeping things immaculately clean. During our 15 minutes in the store, I saw several people cleaning services and handles within the store itself, and all the baggers and cashiers methodically cleaning the conveyor belts, bagging area, and credit card machine.
