This Met Fresh opened a few months ago right at the entrance of the Fresh Pond Road train station where Capital One used to be. I have to say that since this grocery store opened up, it's done major damage to my wallet since it's so easy to just stroll in as soon as I get off the M. Was it a necessary addition to the neighborhood? I would say yes! Even though Checo's is right across the street, it pales in comparison to MetFresh.
It's not a huge space, but we'll organized, clean and efficient. The star here is the employees. They certainly know how to treat you and make you feel welcomed and appreciated. Good selection of fresh produce and ready to drink teas/coffee upon entrance. Lots of international foods. They have a deli counter in the back that not only slices your cold cuts but they also have a hot bar that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner! Rotisserie chicken. Pre-made wraps, sandwiches and deli salads/meals. Presliced cold cuts ready to grab and go. You'll find a lot of things here that would be hard to find at other places. Biscoff sandwich cookies in 3 flavors! 7UP cupcakes!
Prices are comparable to other grocery stores. Their sales are usually very good. Sign up for their points program. You get money off/coupons when you reach a certain amount of points. No reward card necessary! Just punch in your phone number on the special pad every time. They have parking around the corner that also has some table and chair seating on the side.
I come here multiple times a week. It has become my go-to supermarket. It may not be the kind of store you a huge haul at, but it's perfect for me! read more
