The staff on the shop floor are nice and helpful but the person usually on customer services needs retraining really quickly. Upstairs are clothes, homeware and electrical goods. Downstairs food, drink, cleaning products and the like and also a pharmacy and small opticians. There is a bakery but they have a habit of overcooking the bread sometimes it is black. There is often very long queues with very slow staff serving but they have just put in self scan checkouts for baskets so this can speed you up a bit.

It has a cafe, a currency exchange, mini branches of Argos, Habitat and upstairs a Tu clothing range. Fresh food counters include a Bakery, Deli, Fish Counter, Hot Food Counter, Meat Counter, Pizza Counter and a Sushi Bar. There's also a homewares and small electricals section, which runs as far as selling TVs. On my visits, I've always found the checkouts to be a little slow, and the Tu store could with a few more staff (the men's formal shirts section was s bit of a mess). Otherwise, it's good for a one-stop grocery shop.

This Sainsbury's just underwent a major facelift. After months of scaffolding and construction, it…read moreclosed for a week in November and re-opened with a new parking garage, and a huge store extension. The grocery side of the store is mostly unchanged. Standard big Sainsbury's on that side. However, it now also has home accessories, small appliances, etc. on the ground floor and clothing upstairs. The whole place is a bit shinier and seems to be keeping up with the improvement the whole area has been getting as its across-the-street neighbord Southside improves & expands.

I was really shocked to see a grocery store attached to a mall. It's not really something you see…read morevery often where I'm from. I had to go in and check it out. As far as grocery stores are concerned I don't think there was anything special about it. But I really enjoyed walking around and picking up snacks. I like the way they had plastic covers over all the refrigerated section's. It feels really energy-efficient. And there was some pretty good pastry bread. I loaded up. I feel like the prices are reasonable, but the selection seemed a little off kilter. I'm not really sure what they were going for but I couldn't find the brands that I was looking for. I ended up getting substitute products that were pretty good, so I don't understand too much how that works.

I recently stopped by Waitrose while visiting London for work + play. I found the selection to be…read morequite good, and the staff and customers were very friendly. I'm including inclusive places in my Yelp reviews now when in US, Europe, or UK: I didn't experience any Asian hate or discrimination while I was there. They had a selection of chocolate, which I was happy with. Some people have compared Waitrose to Trader Joe's, but I hear that Co-Op may be closer to Trader Joe's. All in all, it was a pleasant experience.

Although I like waitrose, I find them slightly more expensive compared to M&S but their quality is better. So I opted for the veggie sushi and the king prawn with mango & coconut wrap. The wrap is lovelllyyy, I could have happily eaten another one!! The sushi however lacks a bit, it does come with the essentials of wasabi (which is actually horseradish), soya sauce and pickled ginger. It also came with an extra bit of rice in that pocket thing which I didn't eat. They do really good things, and I always go there to buy Lescure French butter for my cakes!! They also have a nice cake decorating section, slightly more expensive, but when you need it, you gota just buy it!!!

This branch of Waitrose is located on the Ground floor of Westfield Shopping Centre, and is easily…read moreaccessed through the fact that you can go into Westfield and get into the store straight away, when walking up from near Shepherd's Bush Station, the House of Fraser and Carluccio's, they recently removed the option to enter on street level and this door is now security alarmed, which makes it slightly awkward considering this door is used for wheelchair access, as on my recent visit the lift wasn't working. The overall store isn't as large, or simply as nice as other Waitrose branches, including the one inside the other Westfield mall in Stratford City. The staff didn't seem too friendly or helpful either, other than one member of staff, who I can only presume is the Supervisor, or perhaps the only one with real training and experience. The overall selection in-store either for items such as newspapers and free-from wasn't great, highlighting just two of the many areas where the items stocked or simply the quantity of items stocked were an issue. They did have similar Waitrose offers here for loyalty card members for any store, even those I'm used to in Manchester, such as through getting the free hot drink if you make a purchase and a free newspaper when spending over £10, but still the issue that arose for me was the lack of places to pick up that free beverage, with the only obvious place being the cafe which had such a large queue, hence there should be more options and places to pick this up. The store seemed slightly inconvenient getting in and out of without the lift, and the staff were not aware it wasn't working which is frustrating, so improving the accessibility of this store is a must, as well as selection and service in certain areas, the overall layout of the store also seemed to be curved, angled, hard to navigate so sadly for me I feel this Waitrose store deserves a single one-star rating.

Here you will find everything from dairy, baking, health and cleaning products, frozen food to a great alcohol section. But because I have a baby face I always get asked for ID when I buy wine, which is a pain but I take it as a complement because I am almost 27. =) The staff here are hilarious, on Christmas eve one of the till assistant was singing to each customer as she checked out their shopping. It certainly put a smile on my face. The bakery section is good as well, there stock a large amount of slice pans and freshly made french sticks and buns. We all like a fresh bun now and again.
