    a man standing in the aisle of a store
    Vicki M.

    Neil is the best employee here at Star Market Fenway!! Always smiling and always ready to help all customers. Please give him a raise or a promotion. He told us about the app and extra savings and to clip all the coupons beforehand! Now I try to remember to do that and it definitely adds to the savings!! The store has everything you need although it is a city store and not the suburbs so can't expect the same in terms of space and items, but still it's pretty good for weekly shopping. I like the fruit platters and the veggie platters and small fruit and veggie cups. Very healthy and also placed right at the front when you walk in the store main entrance. The produce section is decent but they don't have herbs like cilantro. They also have a decent grab n go prepared foods, soups and meals section. Sometimes we get the rotisserie chicken and sometimes the 8-piece grilled chicken. A lot of these conveniences are great especially for this area that has a high density of students and professionals who are busy. For some things we'll price compare with Target and get it either here or there whichever is a better price that week - like yogurts and milk. We like the salad bags and here there are fewer options than Target but again not a dealbreaker. Don't forget to check out the markdown shelves at the very end of the store! It's great that they also have a parking lot in this prime location in the city which also has a couple electric vehicle charging stations. Currently the store is all decorated for Valentine's Day - love is in the air - literally- with those floating hearts balloons :) And of course strategically placed teddy bears with hearts for those last minute impulse buys on February 13th or maybe even the 14th lol ;).

    This photo sums up the respect star market has for their customers. Not only does the place smell but there are multiple issues with cleanliness and freshness. Hard to understand how corporate can sleep at night.

    Poor sad cake.

    I will usually will always find some sort of silver in a lining but IDK about this one. Waited for 15 minutes at the bakery department for a scheduled pickup, no MNGR assistance to pick up this cake, see picture. Never been somewhere where anyone knew less about something else than this and I work in a hotel...

    Very distasteful. Better of spending the extra money to get good food from one of the nearby restaurants. As you can see, this pasta is way over cooked and tastes like mush. I thought it'll be good because it was the only one left but I was sadly mistaken.

    An easy and accessible grocery store right in Fenway. Pros: The only reason why I go to Star Market is out of convenience. Or just pure laziness. On certain weeks, I don't want to spend time after work or on my weekends to go grocery shopping so I do it during my lunch break. They have fresh produces and groceries that I need to get through the week. Cons: Messy clusters, understaffed (twice~over 20mins in line), poor management. And the guy at the deli is a total D.

    Unbelievable price on porterhouse steaks today. Had to load up

    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.

    I've been living in Back Bay for 15 years... And we needed…read morethis Trader Joe's the whole time! We do have a Trader Joe's, about 3/4 of a mile away on Boylston Street. 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!

    Visiting Trader Joe's on Boylston was a real highlight of my day. The store is a great size -- big…read moreenough to explore but not overwhelming -- and each aisle is full of interesting finds. 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.
