Honestly, I've been coming to the Norwalk Stew Leonard's for over 20 years now, and it never gets…read moreold. Pro tip for anyone trying to avoid the absolute chaos of the main lot: pull in using the George Ave entrance and park over there. It's a total game-changer for getting in and out fast. Most people know this place because it was on Ripley's Believe it or Not! back in the day for being the world's largest dairy store, but it's honestly just an institution. Right when you walk in, you see that huge stone tablet with their customer service rules--basically saying the customer is always right, and if they're wrong, re-read rule number one. Supposedly the founder, Stew Sr., put it up after arguing with a lady over some sour eggnog decades ago until his wife checked him. It definitely stuck, because in two decades of shopping here, I have literally never had a bad customer experience. The staff is always so solid. They have everything--a great bakery (the Apple Cider Donuts are legendary), a massive seafood section with fresh lobster rolls daily, a killer meat department where I usually grab lamb steaks, and a seasonal garden center and "Little Farm" with goats and ducks that the kids love. They even have a food truck outside now. But if I'm being completely real? Half the time I roll up here, I am solely there for one thing: the hot bar. They have the absolute best wings around, specifically the Spicy Italian ones. I will literally drive over just to grab a container of those wings for lunch. A few quick heads-up things: download their app before you go because the loyalty program rewards actually add up pretty quick, and definitely remember to bring your own bags. Oh, and grab a soft serve on your way out. Essential Norwalk experience.

You will always find a very attentive staff, very polite, always willing to help and it feels like you are among friends when you go there.

The food is always fresh and you find them restocking newly prepared food throughout the day. Everything here has a feel of freshness and the quality is consistently good. Besides grocery, I love their quiches and even the sushi is excellent. It's great as I live nearby , but if you are in the area, do benefit from this local Grocery store.

They offer a nice breakfast bar, which the Westport location has now terminated. This location also seems to have more products geared to Whole Food's original mission and has items I've not seen in the other Connecticut stores. Their gluten free dessert selection both fresh and frozen is absolutely stellar as is their dairy and non meat fresh section. The parking is logistically much better than the others locations as well. Sadly the check out clerks are still unconscious about offering bags to customers checking out with only 1 or 2 items. Sure it's great you offer $0.10 off per bag brought, but how about educating consumers they don't need new bags that will only further pollute the planet.

Of…read morecourse I'm not used to it, so my shopping is not as easy as my more familiar Stop 'n' Shop, but ShopRite will fill the void for now. Two things I miss from Stop 'n' Shop. ShopRite does not have the option of using a wand so you can scan your groceries as you shop and check out really fast. In fact, maybe I wasn't being observant, but does it have self checkout lanes? I guess I'll find out if the strike is still going on and I come back. The second thing is they don't have reusable shopping bags (unless I just didn't see them). They bag your groceries in plastic bags. However, I brought my reusable Stop 'n' Shop bags with me and had them use them for bagging. I hope the strike will end soon, but ShopRite will fill the void, and I may even like it a lot if this situation continues.
