We planned to cook our breakfasts and dinners in the house, so we needed quite a bit of groceries. The store is large and well-stocked, as I've come to expect from Wegmans. The customer service was also great, and their cold beer walk-in (beer cave) had lots of options for our Fourth of July weekend. On top of that, it had plenty of parking and was easy to get into and out of. A good grocery store!

The Natural food section of Wegmans may offer similar items, but prices are generally the same, and the variety of Vegan/Vegetarian items at Greenstar is more to my taste and palate. The breakfast hot bar includes Beyond sausage links and scrambled tofu (also buttermilk biscuits for the southern inner child in all of us). I especially like the Indian food options at Greenstar and the small lunch prepared foods like spanakopita, vegan club sandwiches, and burritos. Frozen foods offer Cascadian Farms frozen cherries, which augment my daily bowl of Oatmeal. The NA beer section is comprehensive including the latest offerings from Athletic.

GreenStar is my favorite market in Ithaca!! I think the prices, especially when it comes to vegan…read moreitems, are either similar or CHEAPER than Wegman's. They have such an extensive merchandise, and a wonderful prepared foods/baked goods section!! I recently tried the "Made to Order" sandwiches, and it was DELICIOUS. I made mine with BBQ seitan, hummus, vegan cheddar, vegan mayo, spring greens, tomato, + condiments on a baguette. So flavorful and such a wonderful size. I've also placed special orders for their cakes and it was sooo good. My family couldn't been believe it was vegan! Outside of their food, the staff is always super friendly and helpful with any inquiries. Additionally, the store is always super clean and never too busy. They also have CO-OP member savings which are amazing! I love GreenStar!! :)

A shout out to Trader Joe's snacks!…read more Dried Kalamata Olives in a snack? Only Trader Joe's would offer that. Well, we love Greek olives, so we tried the Olive & Herbs Mixed Nuts: roasted cashew and pecan pieces, roasted almond slices (in the bag and on the label, but not listed in the ingredients), dried Kalamata (made with sea salt, safflower oil, EVOO), lightly coated with a powdered herb mix (oregano, sage, thyme, basil, marjoram, rosemary). The nuts taste fresh, and shine through the herbs. Note: This is Not a trail mix. Be prepared for a real kick of Kalamata flavor! A number of us felt the olive flavor was too strong. For me, it was heavenly intensity. It does make for a snack to savor, more than one to dive into. And please consider if a Greek olive flavor will go with your beverage. Vodka? Sure. Gin? Maybe. I might try mezcal before tequila. I dont care what the "dirty" recipes say, I veto vermouth. Hmm. Moonshine or Everclear? Who says this can't be fun? This is an unusual snack due to a delightful pungency that is intensified by drying the Kalamata olives. Only Trader Joe's can be wrong And right in the same snack.

Boar's Head products in the deli make it better than any other local store. Good selection of organic products, international foods, and baking. Local produce in season and other local products such as Ithaca yogurt, Trinity Valley dairy, and eggs from pastured chickens on nearby farms. Good and walkable layout for staple items and, unlike other local stores, P&C does not constantly rearrange its general organization of shelved products (i.e., Wegman's gimmick), which makes it easy and efficient to shop. It is a great place and I highly recommend it.

I was recently what I consider hassled by a store employee in the front aisle of the store in front of other customers about the service dog because I let another customer pet it that had asked. This is completely allowed by law. A service dog can go anywhere that their human owner can go and expect not to be made uncomfortable. Employees need to be trained on the proper ADA Law protecting people with disabilities from just this type of behavior. Very unjustified behavior from an employee. Please next time be helpful or just stay out of my way so I can live my life like the rest of the population. Take the time to read the ADA rules on service animals and protections for people with disabilities even if your establishment doesn't take the time to inform you properly.

I was particularly excited to see they had various citrus plants for sale that were already fruiting! I didn't grab one this time but I do already regret it.

They've got a big selection of ramen (go for the buldak Fire Ramen, it's an experience), they have homemade kimchi and banchan, some fresh veggies, some cookware, a range of condiments and ingredients from China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. The frozen selection has plenty of food to make college life a bit more bearable too. Pick up some frozen pork & veggie dumplings and then get some ice cream for the walk home (get the Melona, you'll thank me later) The family that owns this is also really nice and they recognize their regulars! :)

You'll find the staples for your next Korean feast, but you might feel the sting in your wallet afterward -- prices are definitely on the higher side. It's not the kind of place where you load up a cart and feel like a budget-savvy hero, but it's convenient if you're in the area and don't feel like trekking to a larger store. Overall, Green Castle does the job, but it's more of a 3/5 kind of market: handy in a pinch, but you probably won't be writing home about it. Unless you're writing this review.

Apparently the person below me has never heard of an Aldi's before…read more Aldi's isn't your typical grocery store. They primarily stock their own brands, with occasional name brand deals. They have their own version of all the basics, but if you're looking for something specific, this is not the store for you. That being said, Aldi's is delightfully cheap, especially on produce. Use your eyes and common sense when buying fruits and vegetables here, sometimes they will put out stock that's not quite in it's prime, so don't buy the ones that look sad. I've never been disappointing with the quality of food purchased at Aldi's and some things are even better quality than the typical name brand stuff you'd get elsewhere (think chocolate). You have to bag your own groceries and you'll probably have to wait in a line to check out, but it's really economical.

Parking was easier around noon and we actually parked at the DMV and walked over which only took about 10 minutes. Tons of vendors and some extremely delicious food being cooked on site - made to order - we really saw a bunch of things we wanted: breakfast burritos, breakfast pitas, boba, baked goods, wines, vinegar, etc. Everyone was friendly and the range of items was large. The produce was the real star of the show - if we lived here we decided we'd be here every weekend stocking up. Sadly, we mostly browsed and had a few snacks. Very nice space right on the water - you can grab a snack or a meal and sit and enjoy a water view.
