Heading home from a weekend in the Berkshires, we were think about lunch when I remembered this…read morespot which I had read about & made a point to keep it in mind for when I found myself in the area. My husband, who's grandmother immigrated from Poland, grew on this fare & he rarely gets to eat it now. So, he was thrilled! We easily found parking very close and, as it was a bit early in the lunch hour, found the place mostly empty. It was a cute, clean little cafe with several small tables to eat in. While we were there, the Monday lunch crowd quickly followed with dining & take-out orders. We ordered at the counter ( oddly, still protected by a huge plexiglass barrier ). The young lady was very helpful & knowledgeable with our menu questions. We ordered, paid and found ourselves a seat. When presented with the credit card payment, I noticed the gratuity pre-sets were at full-service levels & tipped as such. However, when we later realized that we picked up our own food & bussed our our table, we decided that we should have tipped for counter service. The food was spot on! Since i eat mostly vegetarian, I always find this type of cuisine challenging. But, a large list of house-made pierogis gave many options. I settled on a plate of six potato & cheddar with onion & sour cream. Since the kapusta here had no meat, I tried a side of that as well. The pierogis were perfect! Tender dough, flavorful filling - fantastic. The kapusta, a house made cabbage based kraut, was delicious as well & very filling! Half came home with me for another delicious meal. My husband, on the other hand, went all out with the PP - Polish Plate. He was thrilled to be able to mix & match the four pierogi, ordering three savory & one blueberry ( something his grandmother made which he's raved about for ever ). Like me, he found the pierogi perfect. He also enjoyed the kielbasa - very flavorful. The golabek ( what he calls golumpki ) had more rice than he prefers, but he wrote that off as personal choice and said it was very tasty & juicy. All in all, this was a good lunch stop & we'd return when in the area. Next time we'll be coming home with some of those delicious pierogi!

Very historic building in Granville MA, noted for their cheddar cheese. Has definitely evolved over…read morethe years. You can get a breakfast sandwich at any time as well as a cheeseburger for lunch. Not really a general store, but a nice place to visit, and they still sell their cheddar cheese. As an added bonus, first place I've ever been in where they sell jars of chow chow!

This is a quaint country store located in a quiet, yet beautiful town…read more The inside has lots of pickled goods and sauces, as well as general goods (some groceries, drinks, snacks, hygiene). It has a really cool, rustic vibe. The big take home here is their cheese. They have a specific cheese that they sell (Granville cheddar) and it is A1. I got the cold cut sub, and it was actually very good. I'm a harsh critic when it comes to sandwiches, but this was well done. The meats were all good, the oil/vinegar combo was spot on, and the toppings were done just right. It felt clean, flavorful, and was filling. I would say the biggest detractor was the space and the wait. The staff works very hard, but they appear short handed to handle a lunch rush (if you call 2pm a lunch rush). The waiting space is also tight and the layout makes it hard to navigate the store without bumping into people and things. However, the staff does remain friendly and helpful given the circumstances! I would recommend this place for their cheese and sandwiches!

There was one unsuccessful trip for nail polish remover but I won't hold it against them. It seems like a great local grocery store. Our last trip here we grabbed a few deli sandwiches and drinks and took to the tables outside for a grab and go quick lunch. Zero complaints! Sandwiches were delicious. My O'Hara hit the spot and the bag of chips that came with it made for a perfect pair. The space is clean, service was quick and friendly and sandwiches were filling. I do see some other reviews mention price, but I am from Jersey where everything is expensive so nothing shocks me anymore. For around $25 we had a lovely lunch.

I went to Cooper's after a long hiatus because of the prices, and ordered an old favorite- tuna…read morepasta salad. It was sad how different the salad, which has been a favorite for decades, was. They shouldn't call it tuna pasta because there was barely any tuna. It was not even close to the way it was for many years. I actually added my own tuna to the salad I bought. I've heard the buzz about how downhill Cooper's has gone, and how overpriced it is, and unfortunately, it's all true. Nothing at the deli is consistent. I ordered two sandwiches- one had plenty of meat, the other hardly any. A small, local, beloved deli has now priced most people out of affording to shop there. I used to be able to get pounds of delicious salads for parties; now a half pound of mediocre deli food is out of the question. This is Florence, Mass. Remember who you used to be, Cooper's.

They have American and authentic imported Italian meats and they can slice them paper thin if you want. they also make their own in-house salami. Maybe the biggest draw is the subs! Every one I've tried has been better than the last. They are absolutely stuffed with high quality meats and cheeses and they are HUGE! I get the half sub and it is plenty for a meal, sometimes two. I am dying to try the meatball grinder. They use traditional grinder rolls which are a lot of bread, but you need that much bread to hold all the sandwich contents. Sometimes when I eat the second half of my small sub, i will switch the ingredients to a different bread , like ciabatta bread and that great too. I come here whenever i am in town and it is a highlight of my trip. The folks who work there are really nice and accommodating as well. It is definitely a place to make a special trip to try. You won't regret it!

I stopped by Pajers on a Sunday morning around 9am to check them out. A buddy of mine shared some…read morehomemade Italian sausage from Pajers that was delicious, so I made the trip. Cute little shop with a ton of Italian foods of all descriptions. Stood at the deli counter for a little while before one of the three people working behind the counter actually noticed my 6'4" 300 plus pound frame. Even though there was only one other person besides me being helped. I was excited to see that they had homemade salami on the menu so I decided to get a whole grinder. The young lady who was helping me seemed somewhat bothered that she had to wait on me. I ordered my grinder and made a quick change to it BEFORE she started making it and her disappointment was very apparent with her body language. Whatever, it was quite humerus actually. That kind of thing doesn't really bother me. Also picked up some sausage, antipasto salad, etc as well. As far as the grinder goes the homemade salami was delicious and an excellent choice. The grinder roll is massive which is what I think people are so hypnotized with when they mention the Pajers grinders are "huge". Don't get me wrong, there was plenty of meat but its large size is mostly due to the massive roll. Still, it was worth the $18 in my opinion. Cash only, so be aware of that. If you're in the area it's worth stopping by, not too sure I'd drive too far out of the way to stop in there though. Also, be prepared for some potential "spicy" customer service. Perhaps they treat their regular customers better, who knows?

Got some country style kielbasa, pate, and chocolates. They have different types of pierogi (sweet cheese, meat and potatoes, or veggie), butter, yogurts, and sliced meat. The store is clean and organized. The cashier was helpful with explaining the variety of smoked sausages.

I've been waiting to try this new place since they opened. I finally had the chance on my way into…read morework, ecstatic that they would be open before 8a. Upon walking in, I was greeted with a smile, very friendly and warm. I ordered a honey cinnamon latte in which I had asked her opinion & she stated it was one of the favorites. It's to die for! Def get it :) I wanted something to eat and had seen all the pics of fresh baked goods, but sadly they had just a plain bagel and a few things in Saran Wrap. Granted they had just opened, so I ordered from the menu an Avocado toast on ciabatta. As you can see from the image, that is not what was served. I was really disappointed. Not only for I'm sure a price difference but it's not fresh avocado (which I should have asked) but mainly that I wasn't made aware or asked if it was okay to put on wheat bread. After taking a couple bites I had to throw it away. It was awful. Overall I felt that if you'd like an amazing coffee, this is your place. If you wanted food as well, I wouldn't suggest going in their first hour and would check your food before leaving to make sure you got what you ordered. I will try again and look forward to updating with a better review. Sad to be disappointed as I was looking forward to a different experience, especially as a newly opened cafe.

The bowls are definitely my personal fav because I can customize them as much as I like. They are definitely filling.

I love visiting during the summer because of the outdoor seating and it just creates such a nostalgic and calm ambiance. This restaurant just keeps getting better every time I see it!

Very definitely the worst middle eastern (-ish) food I've ever had. Also the worst takeout food…read moreI've had in maybe 15 years. So called "döner" bowl contained 5 french fries (the only good taste in the bowl) a pile of iceberg lettuce and bunt scraps of meat that looked (and tasted) like the bits left over from slicing off whatever meat they started with. Beyond "well done", dry as a bone. There was plain white rice so crunchy and hard it seemed like it wasn't even cooked. When there are at least 4 very good local restaurants serving döner/gyro/kebab, I can't fathom that anyone would order this, unless like us, we tried an unknown place that offered delivery.
