Their cakes are moist, and everyone loves their whipped topping icing. My order is always ready when I tell them what time I'll be there to pick it up. And the pricing is very attractive - 1/2 sheet cake is around $34 with a photo imprint. Thanks to the bakery staff for keeping our employees happy. I also want to mention the cashiers are very friendly. One I hadn't seen in about a year and she remembered me. How's that for service!

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.

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.

I can always count on Meijer to be well stocked with a big selection of exotic produce as well as the usual local produce. Everything is fresh and ripe. What don't like so much about Meijer fortunately doesn't happen very often is for example 2 summers ago meijers offered Lemon drop melons ,if you have never tried one ya should they are amazing anyway last summerthe didn't offer them??? I was so disappointed. I was able to find them at a different grocery store in town. The other reason I like shopping at Meijer is because the staff is unionized and they have health insurance and other benefits which helps that job be a living wage. So I feel ok about spending my money there. There are many more reasons to shop there like competitive prices and friendly service. Thank You,Susan
