    Great TJs. I go there after work during the week and it's rarely crowded. They are always well stocked and the staff if always friendly and seemingly happy. Parking lot can be a bit of a cluster at times but I've been to TJs in other cities where you have to wait in line to park so whatever.

    Trader Joe's is always great for all basic snacks, and the best of taste typically in bakery and meats. This location, like all others, didn't disappoint. While it would be nice to have a larger parking lot that isn't full to the brim and is consistently jammed, I guess it should be lucky to have one at all being that this is Cambridge. Selection was very plentiful. The store was super busy and even on a busy Sunday afternoon many people were filling the shelves. Everything I wanted was in stock, and even though some of the other Trader Joe's locations I visit are less busy, some seem to be more frequently out of stock of certain items. The meats here looked fresh and the staff were friendly. Plenty of checkout lanes open on a Sunday. Good store. Would highly suggest, always a benefit if you can come here on off hours though as parking is a struggle. 4 stars.

    All things pumpkin-Chai latte mix, ice cream, granola & waffles. I'm so excited!

    In my last review I complained about the awful parking spots. I need to write an update to inform folks reading this that I've been humbled. I recently moved to FL and the closet TJ's is 40mi away. Yes the closest. Smh. I absolutely love this store and all it's products and employees. Every time I visit and every store I shop in has very nice employees. Now that it's pumpkin season there are so many deliciously seasoned pumpkin themed items. I'm super stoked! My faves are the pumpkin waffles, spiced granola and pumpkin ice cream. I'm also a fan of the Trader Joe's app because it highlights featured items and gives recipe suggestions. Ahhh how I love this store!

    Thank you for the flower!

    I do not understand the negative reviews about the staff here. The staff at this TJs goes above and beyond! Once I asked the worker if the peanut butter and jelly chocolate was good. He said "I dont know, here lets split one and try it, on me" (it was in fact delicious) Another time I sighed out loud so the worker was asking what was up. I mentioned I was moving and changing my job all in the same week and the stress was taking a toll on me. As I was cashing out she disappeared and brought me a sunflower as a present. It made my day! SO nice of her. I always have great experiences here and find the staff exceptionally nice and helpful. This is the best TJs ever!

    I've been waiting for what seems like forever for this new TJ's location to open and it's finally here. I stopped by the Grand Opening today to check it out. The store itself is actually quiet spacious, not like some of the other grocery stores around where you feel claustrophobic because the asiles are narrow and towering over you. Most average height people can reach the tops of the shelves, and for those times when there are 2 carts next to each other you can still get by (so long as you don't have a cart). There was plenty of staff on hand milling about the store offering help and chatting with the customers. Made me feel very welcome, and comfortable to ask questions when I had them. As for the contents of the store, well it's Trader Joes there's not much else I can say about that part. Lots of delisious fruit, vegetables, meat, non-meat, frozen foods, all for a reasonably price. Unfortunately, no wine. This TJ will definitly become a regular part of my grocery rotation.

    Flowers from a wonderful customer service exchange at TJ's.

    Worse thing they did was changing opening hours to 9!! Some people like to go before work or early on a weekend.

    Had a great experience getting grab-and-go premade foods from this HMart!…read more Of what we got, the highlight was the crab cakes. It was more of an egg omelet cooked with some crab rather than a lump of mostly crab meat, but it was soft, savory, and delicious. The kimbap was also delicious and was restaurant quality for less than restaurant prices. Unlike the Central Square location, this HMart does not have a Paris Baguette inside or a seating area in the front, so you'll need to take your grab-and-go items somewhere else to eat. The variety of items was about the same though, with premade korean foods, premade sushi and sashimi, and many aisles of Asian frozen foods, produce, and packaged foods. I would definitely come back here again!

The location is prime and this is such a great addition to Davis Square. This supermarket had lots of food, drink, and skincare options. Like other Hmarts, they also carry typical brands and I found everything I needed just fine despite worrying it wouldn't have everything because it was slightly smaller. It was pretty packed when I went during lunch but checkout didn't take too long. There's a promotion where you can get a free mug if you're a member with the option to get a kimbap packet or strawberry milk for $1 if you spend over $50. Everything was fresh, clean and service was quick! Staff was at every corner and everyone was helpful.

    My company ordered some platter from Stop & Shop for a Townhall we were holding in Somerville. to…read moremy surprise, platters were fabulous. we had about 30 men and only spent about $300 to feed everybody, actually, we had too much food. we ordered four platters of sandwiches some wraps and some on sub rolls that were cut obviously for a platter. we also had fruit trays and vegetable trays three of each. All the platters looked fabulous. The sandwiches were actually stuffed with meat and cheese and vegetables. As for the fruit and the veggies, the platter with super fresh. I think I found my new place to go for inexpensive big platters. They're worth every penny. The great thing about being at Stop & Shop picking up these platters we also were able to get a bunch of sodas, plates, plastic knives, and forks, etc. one stop shopping. As with All stopping shops, they have a large parking lot so parking is not a problem. I'm not sure of the cleanliness of the store as I did not enter. They were ordered on the phone and others picked up the platters. But all the Stop & Shop that I have gone in uphold a supermarket cleanliness. Anyway, I would definitely suggest if you want to get a platter for $30 or $40 or $50 to feed a few friends during a football game or a family get together. This is the place.

    I am extremely dissatisfied with this location's online shopping experience, customer service,…read moredelivery, and the frequent technical issues with the app. My experiences at the Porter Square Star Market have been consistently disappointing. When orders are mishandled, management has not provided effective assistance or solutions. But having a customer have to wait 7 business days to receive a refund, but you don't know this is the only funds that a customer has (money-wise, EBT, etc.). The Star Market app has ongoing technical issues, including frequent glitches, incorrect address selection, and problems with item substitutions. This is why it's hard for a customer to trust your app. These issues have persisted for over a year, resulting in orders being delivered to the wrong addresses. When I have contacted the store for assistance, staff have not taken responsibility or provided effective support, which is frustrating given the time invested in shopping. The process of using Uber and DoorDash for delivery is inefficient, often requiring customers to cancel and restart their orders, which is inconvenient and reflects poorly on the company. Star Market should address the app's technical issues, enhance customer service and delivery processes, and ensure customers receive timely support when problems occur. Additionally, policies with third-party delivery services like Uber and DoorDash should be revised to provide greater flexibility for shoppers.
