    The purple flowers that the store manager Carisa bought me for my birthday
    Gail B.

    I go to Trader Joe's in Westbury or Lake Grove once a week on a Sunday if not to buy groceries; then...to sample their food. Yesterday I went to the one in Lake Grove to buy some cake for my office birthday party. My birthday is today. Carisa was the closest employee standing in proximity to me, In response to my request for dessert recommendations, she told me that the Cinnamon Coffee Cake is popular year-round and is also a consumer favorite. So I purchased it. Carisa introduced herself to me as a manager and asked me if I would like to sample anything. I said yes to a sample of Trader Joe's Crispy Crunchy Broccoli Florets and one of Okra. I disliked them both even when dipped in Trader Joe's Eggplant Garlic Spread. Impressively, Carisa opened both packages and the Spread. She WOWed me. Of all the years that I have been shopping at Trader Joe's, I did not know that I could ask for samples of unopened products. Carisa also provided excellent customer service by surprising me with a bouquet of purple flowers and an exclamation of "Happy Birthday" as I I was paying for my groceries at the register. Purple happens to be my favorite color because it flatters me. I definitely look forward to my next trip to Trader Joe's, and from now on it will solely be the one in Lake Grove.

    I just walked out of Trader Joe's with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my mother who is home awaiting surgery tomorrow for her broken leg. When checking out, I was asked by the cashier Pauline, if I was ready for the holidays. My response was "I don't know how ready I am my mom is home with a broken leg waiting for surgery tomorrow ". The next thing I know as I am waiting for my receipt she runs in a different direction and as I'm standing there, she walks back up to me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers wishing my mother nothing but good recovery and well wishes courtesy of Trader Joe's. Thank you Pauline. Thank you Trader Joe's for always being the best every time I come in there and even extra special today.

    I'm so glad Long Island finally got a Wegmans. When they first opened I thought their prices were…read morereally high but then I notice the Hot Zone Prices was really good deals. When you walk into the store there is a sign of items and prices and they compare them to some of the other markets in the area which is always good to see. Another plus is that they are open till Midnight and it's close to home. A year later and I'm obsessed with this super market. It's very clean and the customer service is always amazing. My son loves coming here to watch the lobsters. The seafood department always comes out with a Wegmans hat to give him and let him touch a lobster. The deli department is always nice. I love the meats from the meat section and the butcher. I love the organic everything they have it's always fresh and reasonable. The Bakery department is my other favorite part of the store. I never tried any of their cooked food. Except the sushi station. No complaints there. I tried many of their store bands and so far so good, except the cheese. It doesn't melt for some reason. I never had any issues at any of the department. From ordering Groceries from the app to looking for coupons, the app is great at navigating it all. There are a few brands that Wegmans does not sell so sometimes I still have to branch out to another market. But for our main supermarket Wegmans is it.

    For those that haven't been to Wegmans before, it's a more upscale supermarket that has a nice…read moreenvironment with a lot of prepared foods / baked goods. Wegmans has a special place in my heart as I went to college upstate where there weren't many good food options. I used to go with friends to get subs from Wegmans and they were always amazing. So I was pretty excited when I heard there would be an outpost of this place coming to LI. I was pleased to see the sub shop at Wegmans churning out subs as I remembered. I think Wegmans also uses freshly baked bread for their subs; I chose the 'white everything' bread. I went with a large 'Wegmans Assorted' sub that has roast beef, ham, and turkey ($16.49). You can ask for packets of their 'sub sauce' on the side for no extra cost, which I recommend. I ended up pairing my sub with a bottle of Mountain Dew ($2.99). Total cost with tax included was $20.15. I was pleased to see that this Wegmans has a really nice seating area with a bunch of different tables and good natural lighting. You can get condiments and utensils for free upon entry. I unwrapped my sub and dug in. The sub itself is quite big, so I'm glad they still give you a lot of sandwich for the large size (I asked for my sub to be cut in quarters). However, when I finally took a bite of the sub, I was extremely disappointed. The sub was nothing like I remembered. It didn't taste bad, it's more that the sub didn't taste like anything at all. It felt like none of the ingredients had any flavor to it. It was kind of disorienting. I did some research online and realized that this is due to the cold cuts being used. It seems that the Wegmans subs of my memories used freshly sliced cold cuts of better quality, while the sub I got at the LI location used pre-cut cold cuts that were way worse quality. This resulted in a very 'watery' feel to the bite of the sandwich. There wasn't much flavor or texture to it at all. After realizing this upon the first bite, it was sad that the rest of the sandwich felt like dead weight. I ate the rest of it for dinner though cause I didn't want to waste anything. So I left Wegmans very disappointed to say the least. I guess it's true that nothing good lasts forever but I'm hoping that Wegmans can turn this around at some point.

    A trip to Whole Foods offers a familiar and reliable bounty: aisles of health-conscious products,…read morevibrant organic produce, and an impressive range of prepared foods like pizza, sushi, and a sprawling salad bar. However, the premium quality comes with an equally premium price tag, a reality that has persisted, and perhaps even intensified, since its acquisition by Amazon. For the savvy shopper, there are still ways to navigate the costs. Keen attention to pricing, coupled with strategic use of Amazon Prime discounts and in-store sales, can help balance the ledger. Ultimately, the store's unique draw lies in its exclusive selection; there are certain specialty items you simply won't find anywhere else, making it a necessary stop for certain needs. Our family has found a practical rhythm: we always begin our shopping at the Trader Joe's across the street. After surveying their selection and prices, we then visit Whole Foods for those few, special items we can't get elsewhere. This approach makes the added effort, and expense, feel worthwhile. Despite the undeniable cost, shopping at the Lake Grove location remains a valuable way to support and enrich a healthy lifestyle, especially for those living on Long Island's East End. It's a curated experience, one where careful planning can turn a luxury stop into a sustainable part of your routine.

There's no point of using the service you might as well pick the food out yourself not to mention some of the fruit especially the halos and other oranges are horrible and tasting bland. They don't do a quality check, they don't test the vegetables to see how they are. They just sell them that's all they care about.

I came in for the advertised "Celebration Bouquet" for $6.99. When I asked an employee for help, she first told me she had no idea what I was talking about. Only after I mentioned the website did she bother to look it up -- and once she confirmed it existed, she informed me the store didn't carry it. Her helpful solution? That I drive around to other Stop & Shop locations and see if they might have it. No substitution, no effort, nothing. Then I tried to pick up the free 48 oz Blue Diamond Almond Milk. Also unavailable. This time I was told to "keep checking back," as if I have unlimited time to repeatedly visit the store hoping the advertised items eventually materialize. If Stop & Shop expects customers to spend their week traveling from store to store chasing down promotions, it would be great if that were mentioned somewhere. As it stands, the experience was disappointing, unhelpful, and frankly pretty frustrating. I filled out the survey at the bottom of my receipt & requested that someone contact me by email. The survey indicated I would receive a response within 7 business days. Today is 4/26/26, I am fairly certain we are beyond that timeframe---yet another failure on their part.
