This review is an emotional outpouring…read more Stew Leonard's (SL) has been a part of my life for 55 years. I first came to this store soon after it opened, when it was much smaller and the only SL store. I now live a few hours away from any of the stores, but 2 SL shopping bags are among those my family uses regularly. I still go here and to other SLs when it's opportune, and the close relationship between SL and my family culminated when, upon his passing, SL SR. was placed a few strides away from my parents at Willowbrook Cemetery (rated 5). Over the years our family developed a close personal connection with the store. My mother became good friends with the head chef there (the prepared foods are excellent--I still always get the ambrosia salad when I'm there!). Sorry I don't recall his name. He was there from at least the mid 90s to the early 2000s. As my mother grew older we started having increasing numbers of SL items as side dishes at our holiday meals. In 2001 when she died we had SL provide the whole Thanksgiving dinner. I recall going in and speaking to the head chef, informing him of my mother's passing. He said he had wondered what had happened to her and missed her. The connection between our family and the store grew with my wife and kids. When we got engaged I got my wife's parents a SL gift basket, complete with Elsa the cheese cow. We would all visit this store and some of the others while traveling, enjoying the ice cream on site and bringing non-perishables back home, as well as apple cider in season--we'd bring the coolers for that. I don't know if my mother ever met either the Senior or Junior proprietor. I won't say I 'met' either of them, but I did encounter them both together once. There were no intros, and it was brief and terse. It was early summer 1979 or '80; like many college students, I thought SL would be a good summer 'gig'. I went to apply and found no parking spaces, but saw another parking lot across the street. I parked there and two men, one old one young, both dressed business formal, went walking past. The older one asked why I was parking there. I noticed the SL employee-only sign only then; I said I was going to apply for a job. He insisted there were none available. I started to say I would like to just leave an application, but he cut me off, saying again "there are no jobs!" [Please continue reading in the review space for the Stew Leonard's store in Danbury. There wasn't enough space here to complete my review. Thank you.]

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. Whoever is doing the recruitment and training over there, must be given full marks for their effectiveness. The place is always busy, local Wiltoneers pouring in and out and it has everything from Veggies to milks, to meat, to Deli items and even cooked food. 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.

Over the years I have lived in Connecticut, I've used this store on and off to shop. It's not a…read morebig store, but there is definitely a community feel within those who shop here and so you kind of get a feel for how the town of Wilton is as a community. Based on my experience, this place has come in pretty clutch for me from time to time, and this has especially been true for me this year. So in the time I have come to shop here, I feel very comfortable in giving this 4 stars. It's the right rating for this place because there's a lot of good things you can buy here. Sometimes you will have sales on certain items that might save you a little money. But now we get into 2 reasons why I can't give this the full 5: this place can get OTT expensive real quick, and not everything they offer is actually worth buying. Some of the prepared meals like the spicy tenders or the grilled chicken you can just tell is processed to oblivion just from one look at it. So you definitely need to be careful what you buy from here. That being said, there's a lot more here that is worth buying than not. Their baked goods for example are quite good, and the breads are actually pretty good quality and worth the extra cost. Some of the things I have learned to cook come out a lot more delicious when buying groceries from this place. For example, I've recently learned how to make a Philly cheesesteak, and the ingredients I get for it largely come from right here at the Village Market! Same with Mac and cheese. And even though some prepared foods don't hit the mark, the ones that do are actually really good. Lastly, remember how I mentioned this place has a community feel? This is due in large part to the customer service in this grocery store. They are always warm, welcoming. It almost makes me feel like I'm one of the family in Wilton even though I live an hour away. All in all, great place to shop as long as you can afford it. Just don't get everything from here and mix in other cheaper places too.

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.
