As with most Trader Joe's, staff are super friendly. This appears to be the only one in the area, so they can easily sell out on a certain item... but they quickly restock. Always when I'm visiting family in Burlington, I stop by to pick up my favorites. Note, on this occasion, they have a local "specialty" beverage section with Mead from Vermont! (Wow!) My only issue here, since this is the Burlington area's only TJ's, the parking lot is always crowded and it can be a challenge getting back on Dorset from Garden with the stoplight.

RE: Hannaford, University Mall, SOBU…read more.. Where do I begin? It starts in the parking lot where there's a license plate reader (that pole with the cameras and blinking lights) which also records your car and it's characteristics (stickers, dents, etc. They then match that data with your payment method in the store after recording your face using the three-point system. Distance between your eyes, and down to your mouth. This is BAD already. They sell this information to God knows who, not to mention, the police. Entering Hannafords lot is where tracking your movements begin. There are video screens showing you moving about the aisles--every aisle. This is used as intimidation. You see your pretty face in HD at the cash registers also. Self checkout? You save Hannaford money by doing their work. The reward? I was stopped at the door today by a girl who says "I need to see your receipt." OK... Everything checked out correctly. The girl says "Oh that happens sometimes." No apology, by the way. They treat customers like they're idiots. I know that I was stopped because one of the lackeys in loss-prevention watching the video console decided I looked like a good candidate to harass. There's no anti-theft devices on their groceries. Where would they put them--inside the overpriced chicken quarters I paid for??? The community at-large accepts this invasion of privacy and is happy to act as a free cashier for the store with self-checkout. So yeah, I can see where they feel that we're suckers. But again, I just loved being stopped at the door after paying for my groceries. Should you ever be wrongfully detained, take out your phone and call the police and have the officer ask for the video showing your "suspicious behavior." Nothing will come of it, but you can disrupt their store operation, making it expensive to have improperly stopped you. Dear Hannaford, please accept my middle finger as a gift to you, and as a sweetener I'm transferring all of my precriptions to Price Chopper/Market32. With the prices you charge, it's you who are the crooks. Stop projecting... Try to be sure before you stop customers at the door, you half-witted morons. Two words for you... Lowes, Walmart, and Home Depot also have these privacy-violating technologies on their properties. Too bad I can't buy all of my groceries reliably online from an online retailer outside of Vermont... I would if I could. One more time: TWO WORDS FOR HANNAFORD!

This is the most amazing grocery store I have ever been to. We are from the Boston area, and this…read moreplace makes Whole Foods laughable--both in terms of selection and price. We call it "Whole Foods on crack" because it's next level with the speciality imports, gluten free/vegan offerings, organic items, and generally cool, local stuff. It's also not as expensive as you might think. I find the layout and organization extremely confusing. We have been several times, and I still somehow cannot get through the store in a timely, efficient manner. The aisles are windy and labyrinth-esque. I remember reading reviews for this before we went for the first time and rolling my eyes, but I get it now -- not a HUGE deal, but takes away from the shopping experience just a smidge. That said, I'm obsessed with this place and we go ALL the time now to stock up on things we can't get anywhere else.

That being said, this is the original and smaller of their two stores in Burlington. I needed two varieties dried chili peppers, common to find in New York City, and had checked out a variety of other stores, finding Pasilla at the larger City Market Flynn Avenue shop. They didn't have the missing one I needed, Costeno, they did have something that worked as a substitute. They seem to have many more dried mushroom items than dried chili peppers. My main issue with this location is the amount of parking. It's tight.

I was able to get everything I needed and more. They had a great wine selection which was perfect since I wanted to put a gift basket together for Joe's brothers whom we were visiting next for the final part of our trip. I was warned that it was expensive but I didn't really think it was that bad and was curious about it being a co-op store. I was able to get everything to make an Italian pasta dinner with Marinara. It was so nice to be able to have a homemade dinner in our suite. That's the thing about traveling is you get so weary of eating out every meal. This place was a great little grocery store just off the main strip of the Burlington downtown.

I've decided I hate this Hannaford. Not only do they refuse to carry items that I know are carried…read moreby other Hannafords where I have shopped regularly before (and then the "customer service" rep here insists that they do in fact carry everything that every other Hannaford carries, and it is *I* that am mistaken!), but they are often out of basic staples that any grocer should have, large or small. Once, they were out of fresh basil. OK, I can see that -- it is perishable, it's an herb, you can sub the dried stuff, and they usually only keep a small stock anyway. But on that same day, they were out of strawberries. Well...I mean, it was the end of summer, but you can usually get them even in February in a large supermarket chain, right? Another time, I could not find a single banana that was not as green as the Vermont mountains in June. And the last time I was there, all the flat parsley (what little there was of it) had been freed from their little bindings...and, thus liberated, had been strewn, bruised and battered, all over the other produce. The cilatnro, in particular, were not amused. So *maaaaybe* I can excuse being out of some produce...I mean, it is perishable and all, right? So you don't want to order too much and throw the rest out all the time... But what excuse can they give for being out of dried foods, like Near East Original Rice Pilaf? Jiffy corn bread mix? Press-and-Seal food wrap??!!? The Press-And-Seal, I am betting, does not even have an expiration date!!! Inexcusable. Clearly, they need new management. Particularly in produce, where every time I ask the produce manager to help me find something, she gives me the wrong answer ("no we don't have it" when they do) or I find it before she does. C'mon.
