You can feel great about supporting this farm when you buy your CSA.

Even though, I have been having weird reactions/food sensitivities to some ingredients lately that make my belly not so happy and brain (I'll get headaches and feel pretty weak all over and shaky), but they're food is very tasty and affordable. It's also really well stocked and organized though they do get extremely busy and trying to manuver my way around the aisles can be a bit challenging. Nonetheless, I went yesterday more towards closing time, and similar to Fresh Market, they are very understanding and they don't like push you out or anything. They will let you shop literally until closing time. I also appreciated how they had security go up and down the aisles as well. I wanted to give a shout out to a cashier named Andy who was very patient, kind, and friendly. A smile goes a long way and sometimes a smile can cheer someone up and his friendly, congenial nature made my day. He was also very helpful though I wish they would give the the TJ's cashiers chairs to sit on because they have to stand stationary in one spot the whole day for who knows how many hours. I feel for people that have to be on their feet all day, but what I appreciated was the fact that even though it was cloaing time he still treated me as I was a guest that he just greeted early in the morning at the atart of the day. I like to recognize those who put extra effort forth and he deserved it so I hope his manager can recognize that. Overall, I think Trader Joe's has an excellent product(s) on their hands and is a well run machine which speaks to administration at the top and how they wish to have their stores nationwide managed. I do wish there was one closer though, but it's not thag bad of a walk and there is always a bus one can take as well. Plus walking is good for you, or good exercise...I just believe in giving credit where credit is due and it's pretty amazing because everytime I go there is always someone restocking the shelves and they work so fast and so diligently too. Like yesterday there was a woman stocking packaged salads (though I do enjoy salads, it's not my go to when I am super hungry) but man was so fast and efficient. Same for this other guy in the Asian inspired foods aisles, like he was making sure that the freshest items were at the top of each stock pile. I was truly impressed. I am sad that I missed out on the Trader Joe's tote bag sale, but hopefully there'll be another one:) I do wish they were a bit bigger in size though because then you could use them as bags to shop with while there at the store and it's good marketing for them, like how Aldi has this giant recycable tote bag...I wish Trader Joe's did the same....maybe one day‍ Also they have really lovely peonies available now. Flowers make me happy

It's the simpler places like this that remind me why I love going out to eat in the first place. The Chicago food scene is always evolving with new restaurants opening every week but I think it's spots like this that hold the city's character and they deserve to be celebrated just as much as the new. Not busy at all on a Friday night and we were able to find seating easily. Service is as expected as you order at the front and then pick up your order at the counter when it's done. Carne Asada Burrito: Carne asada, beans, lettuce, onion, avocado - added cheese. There's so much meat in this thing you need a fork just to keep up.

While walking around, I kept smelling something really good and basically followed the scent until I found the Baked Cheese Haus booth. Soon as I saw them scraping all that melted cheese over the sandwiches, I already knew I was getting one. I went with the Jambon Cru. Melted raclette scraped over cured ham on toasted baguette with spring onions, baby gherkins, and Dijon. And wow... this thing was a cheesy overload. So much melted cheese, rich, creamy, and warm. The baguette was toasted with that nice crunch, sturdy enough to hold all of it together. Then the gherkins and Dijon came in and cut through all that richness with a little tang and sharpness, which made every bite better. Messy, cheesy, a little ridiculous honestly. The whole market has such a fun vibe too. Busy, lots of people walking around, fresh produce everywhere, live energy all around. The people at the booth were super friendly too. Now I'm seriously about to go to Wisconsin just to find them again.

Farmers' Pride Produce has a pleasant, soothing ambiance, and everything here is organized, well-stocked, and clean. It has fresh and high-quality produce, including meat, vegetables, and deli products. They have a daily supply of fresh breads that are locally produced. They also have a wide variety of liquors, such as meat beers and wine. I trusted this store after buying in here for quite a lot of times and I never had a single problem with the items that I bought in here. Other good thing is that it is not crowded and usually if I would go in here, we are just basically about nine to ten people inside including the staff and another good thing is that check out is fast that is why I can leave quickly after getting and paying products that I bought in the store. The customer service is great, especially during check-out, where transactions are done quickly. This is a very convenient store for me, and I highly recommend it.

They also have a fresh butcher selection. I've made their skirt steak into tacos and their al pastor - both delicious. They carry el Milagros everything, which is our personal favorite. You'll find all sorts of different foods and cultures, whatever you're craving for dinner. Definitely worth a stop for wine too. They have a huge selection in a dedicated area of the store. Lots of beer, wine, and coffee. I will say they are priced a little higher than most grocery stores but you cannot beat the convenience.

I will definitely be visiting again. Great lunch option, and I'm sure it gets plenty of foot traffic around the train schedules.

I wish it had more filling and was a bit crispier. Overall, a nice spot to explore if you want to try a variety of foods in one place.
