The produce section is beautiful offering many staple items and cauliflower as big as my head! The desserts are mind blowing, chocolate, fruit, cake, rolls, tarts, gluten free...all bases are covered here! There is even a soup stand with at least 6-8 selections, to-go foods both cold and warm. Lunch options, dinner options, snacks...it's all available there! Lastly the dog treats, they are homemade and brought in by the baker/owner of the small local business on a regular basis. Several items in the store are sourced locally and the prices are comparable to other stores, maybe a little more for specialty items. All team members encountered are willing to help and answer questions and everyone was smiling and in a genuine good mood. Rare! There is legit something for everyone and they are now on my weekly list of stops to make!

I wish i could leave more than 5 stars. Monticellos is by far the best meat market (and overall…read moremarket) in the area. They have an unbelievable selection of high quality meats, cheeses, soups, fresh foods, deli, condiments, breads, fresh produce, and beer and wine. The highlight for me is the meat counter specifically. There are always multiple employees asking if you need help with anything and making suggestions if you're unsure (especially when it comes to the snack sticks, jerky, etc). The hot soup bar is amazing as well. Hands down best soup(s) i have ever purchased at a market. There are too many other great things to mention. Monticellos will continue to be my Go-To for all of the above. Keep up the good work!

Trader Joe's is the newest grocery store in our area. We checked it out today to play into all the…read morehype. The store is cute and new, low on some inventory due to only being open a week but there was still plenty to choose from. There were several brand options, not available in most other local stores, while still offering household staples. At the end of some aisles there are meal suggestion displays. Each display includes the majority of items to make a particular meal or dish. The pricing seemed comparable to other stores in the area and the store was buzzing with team members (mates) that were restocking shelves or helping customers. All seemed to be enjoying their job and happy to be at work. I'm honestly not sure if Trader Joe's will become part of our weekly shopping routine as other stores in the area meet our needs better. However, we will stop in again, always twice to be sure!

If they ask if the boy that rejected Barbie in high school know how hot she are now, say "Oh, He Knows." Way out to the east of East Lansing Michigan is the town of Okemos - a suburb really - which has a big mall and also has a bunch of big box stores near the mall and one of those is a Kroger - and the main problem with it is that this whole area is usually really busy at different times of day, which isn't always a problem in East Lansing itself, but it is around here, in and around this outdoor mall, and that makes it a little hard to come here for groceries. So yeah it can be a little tricky and once you're inside here sometimes it's a bit of a zoo as well. It's a good store though and here's what Barbie has to say about it. Bae - This is a nice grocery store. Their prices are a bit high, but their sales are good. They have organic produce, which is great. They also have lots of vegan and gluten-free products. The store is not as clean as the one in Milford, but it's not bad at all.

OKAY, while covid is not completely gone, I think most would agree the pandemic has passed. So why haven't you returned to having at least one 24 hour pharmacy in town?!?! The other 24 hr pharmacies in town will not help me, you would have to transfer the 'script to them.
