the aisle of a grocery store
Em B.

Huge supermarket underneath North Station. They have the biggest aisles I've ever seen filled and fully stocked + they had the items in stock which my hometown grocery store did not have. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend heading downstairs to check it out.

Star Market is a grocery chain with their newest and possibly largest location newly opened at 90 Causeway Street in Boston, Ma. Although it's physical address is Causeway Street, the entrance is actually on Legends Way. It is located in The Hub development area adjacent to the TD garden and North Station. Today marks its first week opening; last was Friday grand opening. This is definitely an affordable grocery as well as lunch spot when compared to the nearby Whole Foods food and the Boston Public Market. It's not of the same quality and caliber as the other two but definitely much easier on the pocket. It is deceivingly small when you walk in through the door since it shares space with a Starbucks. There is a quick grab and go selection of Regina's pizza, hot subs, a few sushi items and poke bowl, snacks and drinks on the first floor. Then there is an escalator leading down to the larger even grander store below. You have a whole underground supermarket. There is a hot entree buffet, salad bar, sushi stand, hot pizzas, Asian foods, flower section, bakery, seafood, poultry, dairy, fruits and vegetables, home items, alcohol section, everything you could think of. There is a pharmacy as well. The salad and soup bar has some basics items. Not that huge of a selection but decent enough. It does gets busy around lunch time however there is cashier strategically placed with two cashier running to help with the line just for four. There is also a small seating area if you want to eat quickly in store. I was able make my own custom salad with a little of everything for approximately $5. This is probably a better option than the pre-made salad. There is also a hot entree buffet with mashed potato, macaroni and cheese, sweet potato , chicken ziti, pulled pork, chicken, and more. I have tried and liked the Italian flavored fried chicken from the hot entree buffet. My husband thought the bbq chicken wings was too sweet but my son liked it as well as the chicken tenders. I found the chicken to be a bit dried out. This was also true with their original flavor rotisserie chicken. I think this was because the chicken hung out beneath heated lights to stay warm but for too long? The bakery section is also significant in size. There are muffins and danish for breakfast. There was also cupcakes frosted like a unicorn, sunflowers, and other autumn themed designs. The is perfect for office parties and not bad at $1.29 each. You can also get different sized cakes, unicorn design also available again. I have to say that the market sushi here is more affordable and probably better tasting than the ones at Wholes food. I haven't tried the poke bowl but have also heard positive reviews from my coworkers. You get a lot of options for $10 and under. Lobster roll at $10 was meaty and with a decent bun. The beer, wine, and hard liquor selection is huge. It reminded me of Wegmans in Medford but even grander. How grand? They have Louis XIII selling for $3,500. I guess my Christmas/New Year alcohol shopping can be done here. You can easily get lost in this store for half an hour like an IKEA. See my pictures!

Well stocked

This is the most well-run, well-stocked and efficient Grocery store I've ever been in in my entire life. So many great choices, everything well laid out and the prices were not ridiculous. Too bad it's not my own neighborhood market.

Pharmacy staff are helpful and courteous

This is the best pharmacy in the downtown core of Boston. Why? 1. Attentive staff 2. Helpful - will assist with vacation override for more medication if traveling 3. They remember you. 4. They answer the phone 5. Pleasant and friendly. This seems like a basic list but I have been treated rudely and ignored at competitors in the area. I walk past 3 other drug stores to go to this one. They have items in stock and have reasonable prices. They really value your business. If you are looking to get a flu shot, come here. No lines, and a stress-free shopping experience.

Excellent customer service but the store wasn't clean at all and I saw something on top my turkey breast sliced meat when I went to open it.

I love this location. It's huge and they always have what I'm looking for! They also have so much alcohol, and plenty of vegan options.

We like this Whole foods market- it has everything from produce to breads to prepared foods…read more I especially like the prepared foods - the soups are good for lunches. I would like to see more variety in the hot foods bar - especially because we always come here on Saturday and it's the same dishes. I understand they probably have a rotating menu so each day probably has a different selection but since we only come on Saturday it's pretty much the same every Saturday. Please change out the menu. Yesterday they even had some cut up oranges for free samples and that was great!! You get to try the fruit before buying- I mean you generally can't go wrong with cuties but still I thought this was a nice touch!! Loved it! Now that they have so many more self service checkout stations it's great! The space is also more efficient now. Their service is good too - they have someone there to quickly help if necessary. I like the green bananas as I like to buy them that way so they ripen over the next few days and can be eaten while yellow before they become sad lol! Overall we like this store - would like to see more selection/ rotation of menu in the hot bar!

Many years ago, I was an owner of a potato company that started in the north end of Boston. It was…read morea beautiful product , tasted great, and was packaged very well. We took pride in the fact that we used peanut oil to cook our chips in what was known as the Hawaiian style, is this was in opposition to the oil our nearest competitor used - cotton seed oil, which is actually industrial byproduct of manufacturing cotton for clothing. We thought Whole Foods would really love our chips and I was really disappointed when we were told that you wouldn't sell our product in your stores because our peanut oil was not cold pressed. Roll forward to the present . i'm shopping for groceries in what was then the newest store, the Whole Foods on Central Street in Jamaica Plain. I was looking at the bulk chocolate that was wrapped in clear plastic wrap, and I happen to glance at the ingredients. There, clearly marked for the whole world to see, what is the fact that the chocolate bar can change genetically modified to organisms. Yikes! I put the bar back and immediately remembered what had happened "back in the day" when Whole Foods had a very strict standard about what they would and would not sell. I was shocked and disappointed. I didn't bother to say anything to anybody because frankly, nobody gives a shit. But I have it upon yelp and even though this is about the Westland Avenue market, I thought I would tell the story. It is definitely a narrative that tells the story of our country. There was a time when people really cared. They had standards, and even though Whole Foods standards prevented me making what would be a very big sale for a product I believed in, I understood. And respected the stories decision not to accept our product, even though I personally felt that it was a little over the top. And now? You're selling a product that has what some will consider could be one of the very worst aspects of the ever expanding catalog of what Michael Palin calls, "food like substances". I would like to see that product remove from all the stores everywhere. It is sorry reminder of how far we have fallen.

But, 3/4 of a mile is a long way to walk with heavy bags of groceries. Their staff is extraordinarily helpful and friendly. They always make you feel welcome THE DEAL: Trader Joe's' offerings are ever changing seasonally. So, if you find something you like...STOCK UP!

The flower section especially stood out: beautifully arranged, fresh, and thoughtfully put together. I'm not usually a frozen food eater, but friends have been encouraging me to give Trader Joe's frozen options a shot -- and I'm glad I finally did. I took the risk, and I don't regret it at all. Their frozen meals have a great flavor balance, and I rarely have to add much (if any) extra seasoning. That's a huge win for convenience and taste. The staff here are friendly, approachable, and even funny -- whether you catch them on the phone or in person, they bring good energy to the store. The one downside is the checkout area. Because of the layout, it's not always clear where to line up, and there isn't much space for items to be packed. One time, a few things I paid for were placed off to the side and didn't make it into my bags. So now I double-check before leaving to make sure I've got everything. As for parking: they don't validate, and it's street parking only. That said, both times I visited, I was able to grab a spot right out front -- but definitely go in prepared for the possibility that parking might be tricky. All in all, I'd absolutely come back -- great selection, strong frozen food game, and an overall pleasant shopping experience.
