I love you Wegman's. I just love you. Its the only thing missing in San Diego; I have to go to 5 grocery stores in addition to farmers markets to even come close. If you are in any city that has a Wegmans, run, don't walk to Wegmans. Fresh sushi, excellent bakery - from doughnuts to cannoli to high-end chocolate goodness, excellent produce, any and all ethnic foods, I really could go on and on. read more

Usually one of my first stops after landing in Ithaca(we don't have a Wegmans where I live). always hit the bakery(cookies !!) , cheese department and veggie section. Delicious. My bff loves their organic meats-she's not wrong. Lots of parking, friendly staff. The entire experience reminds me of one of Virginia's local food companies that has since been sold(Ukrops). Consistently awesome year over year read more

Great food store. The cafe had some of the best chicken fingers(tenders) I have had in awhile. Watch out for the bakery - it has lots of stuff that will increase your diameter. The Wegmans brand dark chocolate ice cream was good too. Big selection of beer and tea also. It's also a very well stocked supermarket. read more

Best grocery store I have ever been to! I love their pre marinated fish and chicken-- it is so convenient-- for only around $6-10 all you have to do is stick it in the oven and bake it according to the instructions and voila! dinner is ready! Perfect for two servings depending on how much one can eat... Also the grocery store has a wide variety of gluten free and vegan friendly options. The bakery and cafe are also very nice! This wegmans is open 24 hrs too which is super convenient for students. Only complaint is that some items are a bit too expensive-- for example i was about to buy a 12 oz freshly made smoothie until i saw that it costs $6.... read more

I've had nothing but positive experiences at the Ithaca location. The produce department is expansive, the bakery is solid and the fresh fish is always good. Staff members are always willing to assist and ready to help with recommendations. The layout can be confusing, as some items can be in two or three locations under different categories (regular, organic, international etc.) I've used the dry-cleaning service too, and I found it to be fairly priced (although they don't do it in store). Nearly every member of staff I've interacted with has been friendly and helpful, but Shariek in the beer department is a stand-out: his knowledge of the products is encyclopedic and he's always quick to make a great recommendation. He's a real asset to the store. read more

I love, love, love Wegmans. I know, that sounds sort of pathetic, but it's true. Let's face it -- grocery shopping is a *chore*, but Wegmans makes it about as fun as it can be. The food product selection is amazing (there must be 300 varieties of cheese alone) and the prices are not bad at all, certainly no worse than I've seen at far inferior supermarkets. They appear to have week-in-week-out rock-bottom pricing on certain staples (milk, eggs, butter, bread) as well, though perhaps we've just been lucky. Wegmans is perhaps not the best place for non-grocery items, though. I wanted aluminum foil one time and was kind of surprised at how few options there were (I don't think that there was a store brand, for example) but that's a minor quibble. All in all, Wegmans is the best supermarket I've ever had occasion to shop in. read more

I shouldn't be posting this before my GreenStar review, but I've been a Wegman's customer for about two years longer that I've been a GreenStar member, so that's the logic I'm working with here. That said, I am new in town, so I'm getting used to this location's floor plan. But what I appreciate are the one-page directories in clear hanging wall files made available at the end of certain aisles. I don't mind asking employees where stuff is, but there's something empowering, not to mention time-saving, about not having to find someone to access what I need/want since most of the information's already been made available. Another plus is the self-check out area, a first for me as a Wegman's customer, so a small wave a relaxation flowed over my muscles when I discovered it on the other side of the berries during my first visit here. As a former checker/bagger from the old school, my items absolutely have to be bagged a certain way. I don't get too p*ssy when they're not, but I've always been happy to organize -- of my own volition -- what I intend to buy on the conveyer belt for cashiers to simply place in a bag (You're welcome.). However, when doing my own thing is an option, I go for it. Because this is new pasture, it's obviously greener than the one I left (Or should I say "fled"?). I'm sure when the newness will wear off; but after it does, I'll still want to shop here and not feel as if I have to. read more

This store was out of so many items, including spices and random things like canned corn beef hash and vine ripe tomatoes that hadn't been smashed to bits. An attempt at being friendly to an older gentleman cashier failed as he just peered over his mask at us as if we were ruining his entire day. Maybe it's an old Wegmans, but the Wegmans in our neck of the woods manages to be much brighter, cleaner, fully stocked with friendlier employees. read more

Certainly the best grocery store in Ithaca. Most fresh vegetables and fruit (sometimes local), best organic options, best meat section, good deli and bakery, and not too expensive (although Aldi's and PC are certainly cheaper). Pretty good service generally, although at peak hours lines can be long, so best to go at non-peak hours! read more

This is just a grocery store, folks. There is nothing awe-inspiring or amazing about Wegmans. I have heard so many people professing their love for Wegmans and talking about what a great grocery store it is. It's just a normal grocery store with a normal amount of variety. I really do not understand the big to-do over Wegmans. Maybe everyone who thinks it's amazing is from a really small town without a reasonable place to buy groceries. Saturdays at the Ithaca Wegmans are insufferable. It's like the biggest shopping cart traffic jam I've ever seen with the typical indecisive Ithaca drivers at the helm of the shopping carts. If you've ever driven in Ithaca, you can imagine that the shopping cart traffic jams within Wegmans are silly and unnecessary, but constant. If you must go to Wegmans, go around 8 PM when the aisles are not cluttered. read more

when high school kids go to wegmans to hang out before and after prom, you know it's the place to be. after shopping at wegmans i don't believe it when other stores like albertson or safeway call themselves "supermarkets." if they're supermarkets, then wegmans should be called a superdupermarket or a tremendousmarket. sure, i didn't do much cooking back in the day, but i could pretty much find everything i needed there and more! swiffer, laundry detergent, corelle dinnerware, fresh pizza, fresh sushi, ethnic ingredients (for when i did cook), ready-to-eat buffet, bench swings out front, the air conditioning blast at the front entrance threshold. read more

An open letter to you, Wegmans, from someone who has lived amid your chain of stores for many years: Ithaca Wegmans, you are not unlike the one kid in a small town who knows all the guitar tricks or can keep a soccer ball bouncing off of yourself 100 times or the one old hippie mom who lets the kids nip the bottle or puff a doob at sleepovers. Beyond the flash or the glit and glimmer of your perceived convenience, you are struggling for relevance and truly pathetic. Ithaca Wegmans, have you ever been to Wegmans? I mean, ANY other Wegmans? How can you cook the most disgusting pizza having all the ingredients and experience from Western New York stores at your disposal? Your prepared food is akin to nursing home fare. Have you ever looked for a product in yourself, Ithaca Wegmans? You are organized like a toddler organizes her Duplos - not by shape or color or size or kind. Please send an emissary to Canandaigua, or Pittsford, Buffalo, or New Jersey, or even Erie, PA and take some notes then close yourself for a week to reorganize. Soon, Whole Foods, and equally despicable entity will be here to eat your captive profits and you'll find out that your whispy pony-tail was the only thing interesting about you. read more

Now that I'm no longer in Ithaca, I really miss shopping at Wegmans .The variety of products they have, especially Wegman brand, is fantastic. And their bakery serves up some of the best desserts I've ever had (try their fruit tart!). They also have a great hot buffet section. The staff at Wegmans are always willing to help. I've never had a bad experience there when it came to customer service. Wegmans pretty much has anything you want. The place is huge and their food is fresh. I would highly recommend shopping here and it's open late! read more

Wegmans is great for fresh groceries, I don't usually shop Wegmans due to the fact that it is over crowded by too many people. There is never any place to park unless you are at the back of the huge parking lot. The only time I go there is to access the pasta station. I love there pasta, you can choose what you want from the pasta to the ingredients to the sauce. I don't usually get anything from the Chinese food bar because it is overpriced at 6.99 a pound. (way too much!) read more

I graduated from college three years ago and I miss Wegman's terribly. Best supermarket of all time. The end.

AMAZING. Let me elaborate with a few anecdotes. 1) I needed a nighttime eye-lubricant because I was having issues with eye-dryness. I went to Wilson Farms; they didn't carry it. I stopped by Target; they were out of stock. I tried Wegmans, and they had two different kinds. 2) I am a great lover of fruit. I feel, however, that Ithaca is greatly lacking when it comes to its selection of fruit---especially exotic fruit. But BEHOLD! Wegmans! Dragon fruit, lychee, star fuit, rambutan, purple mangosteen, coconut, and even cherimoya! Unfortunately, ONE cherimoya cost me $8, but it was worth it. Yum... 3) Are your tastes very specific for a particular spice, herb, or ingredient? Want fresh rosemary? Got it. Dried rosemary? Got it. Organic fresh rosemary? Got that too. Rosemary, tarragon, and marjoram blend? Got that too (with a hint of lavender). Same goes for mint, or basil, or parsley, or cilantro... 4) Went to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription for eye-drops. They said they'd have it in 15-20 minutes if I wanted to wait. I checked in about 10 minutes. My eye-drops were there already. Speedy service. I appreciate that. Overall, the food is fresh, the service is decent and there is just such wonderful variety that this grocery store beats out all others nearby. I even noticed that there isn't a weird "food" smell when you walk in. You know how sometimes grocery stores have that older food smell, maybe overripe fruit or limp veggies? None of that here. Also, the price ranges are good: you can find expensive organic free-range non-hormone injected, free-from-antibiotics cow juice, or just plain old Campbell's beef broth. Moreover, I love the fact that there is a pasta bar, vegetarian bar, deli, ethnic food bar, and whatever else you'd want at the Wegmans cafe (inside/connected to the store). Finally, it has a great, convenient location and a decent sized parking lot (although some people really need to learn how to drive, how to park, how NOT to steal my parking spot if I've been signaling for five minutes, how NOT to let their carts drift pell-mell all over the place, and how NOT to walk in the middle of the street while I am trying to drive past them). Minor note: They have a good beer selection, but sometimes I wish they had more wine. Trader Joe's usually beats them in this aspect, as does a midsized-large Safeway or QFC in general. Also, depending on when you go, this place can be PACKED. I dislike the teeming crowds, especially with screaming small children and parents who don't know how to discipline them (this has happened on multiple occasions). Chose the day and time you go carefully. If you can, go mid-day or earlier, on a weekday. read more

The second day I lived in Ithaca, I discovered Wegman's. I was unsuspecting of its glory as it was just on a list given to me by my new employer. When I walked in, I almost wept. Wegman's is amazing. It is hard to put into words. Try as you might to explain why it is so wonderful, but people just don't understand why you might conduct a job search based on Wegman's locations until they experience it first hand. Just a great grocery store. read more

I loved how it was open 24 hours a day! However, the produce isn't the freshest late at night, as it is all the leftovers from the day. However, this Wegman's is very clean and huge and has everything you could want. I like how the lines go fast. Perfect place to go food shopping. read more

Having moved far, far away from Wegman's, I can openly say that nothing here in Denver compares - not even Whole Foods. Although I had difficulty from time to time with the Pharmacy, I loved being able to buy soda and organic foods in one place - can't do that at Whole Foods, and every now and then I need a pack of Coke! Wegman's has such a wide variety of foods - more than any other store I've seen, and the employees, especially Cody in the meat department, are friendly, helpful, and made me feel SPECIAL - just for going to the grocery! read more

"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" aptly summarizes the Wegmans experience. You simply will not find a better grocery store anywhere. The fresh produce section is incredible, they bake all their bread daily, and they have reasonable prices. This is one of the only cities I know of where another place dominates Wal-Mart. Well done, Wegmans. read more

Has anyone looked at their receipt and compared it to shopping at Tops? Pretty pricey place. Great bakery, subs, deli, and produce. Everything is pricey but those areas are of top quality. For the rest of your grocery needs, go elsewere. read more

The jewel and creme de la creme of my trip to Ithaca, NY was Wegman's. It's as if a grocery store and a highly functioning mall had a love child, and boy was it a big baby. There's everything your heart could ever desire tucked away in this giant factory. The candy section is unbelievable---I kept looking for Willy! read more

I'm from Canada, and I wish we had something like Wegmans. I love Wegmans, it's a foodie's dream supermarket. The meats are fantastic, the deli counter slices meats properly. The cheese guys actually know their cheeses and are a pleasure to talk to. And all the local produce......fantastic! Oh and the olive bar OH MY GOD! Wegmans please come to Canada! read more

If someone were to take a survey on people's favorite places in the world, I'm sure most answers would resemble something like the beach, Tahiti, Vegas, Madame Camae's Filipino Palace etc. I think my answer would be Wegmans. This is the most amazing, awesome, dream come true supermarket that you could ever ask for. It is a great place for ramen noodle eating, low budget college students and foodies or culinary masters alike. Wegmans has just about everything, from low end generic options to quality artesan products and exotic items that you can't find anywhere else. It's also an awesome restaurant in itself. There are so many meal options, from pizza to made to order burritos to indian food buffets to freshly made sushi. I also love Wegman's bulk/produce price system. Weighing your stuff and printing out a little sticker with the price is pretty cool, though can get hectic on Sat. afternoons when every I'm Gonna Park My Cart in the Middle of the Aisle Oblivious Asshole comes to shop. Their beer selection is pretty good too, but you can get all those beers for slightly cheaper prices down the road at Ithaca Beverage Center. In addition to having an amazing selection, they treat their employees way better than most companies by giving them benefits and insurance, even for part timers! As others have pointed out, the fact that this is open 24 hours is a huge plus. It's kind of a stoner's late night munchy paradise. read more

We really got impressed with their huge selection, their customer service, very clean and organized departments.

Oh boy does Wegman's put King Soopers and Whole Foods to shame, without a doubt! People in Colorado think I'm weird for raving about a grocery store, but they just do not understand. This is the Ritz Carlton of food markets, minus the price tag. And I wish they'd dominate the world of grocery stores. I can say what everyone else is saying. Then again, I'd rather not be repetitive. I MISS YOU WEGMAN'S! read more

Great selection of produce and New York products. I also love the hot food area -- lots of fresh veggies as well as foods of all varieties.

Gotta love Wegmans. High quality foods, large selection, amazingly helpful staff!

Wegmans was the first store I shopped at when I moved to Ithaca, NY. I have to say I was totally over whelmed by the size of the place, it's gigantic. I had to ask a lot where to find things. I was given a little map and an itemized list of the aisles and what was on them. It doesn't have everything but it's helpful. I noticed that they do sell some organic items. Their produce is very nice and fresh, but I wish they sold more items that have less sugar in them. I liked the store and will shop there again, read more

Wegman's is not just a grocery store, it is a way of life...and Ithaca has one of the finest Wegman's around. Definitely a must-see when visiting Ithaca. You can even sit down and enjoy a nice meal there. Great for college students as well read more

LLLLOOOOVVVVEEEE IIIITTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The absolute very BEST grocery store EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The energy here is awesome, and the selection is amazing! I love Ithaca Wegmans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=0) read more

Every college student in Ithaca goes to Wegmans at least once in their four years, it's on the to-do list. The first time I went, I was shocked by how HUGE it was (reminded me of Costco). My friends and I had split up to find food, and we ended up calling each other to find where one of us was. Wegmans has EVERYTHING, and I love how everything is fresh and organised. I'm a huge fan of their fresh bread, and it is so good. Even though it's a pain to get there and back to Cornell, it's totally worth the trip, and I can just get lost there for hours shopping. Another thing I love definitely is their brand. Unlike other supermarkets I've been to, the Wegmans brand is actually really good and comparable to other brands. read more

In Ithaca, you don't have many options. Wegman's is probably the best option in town. However, the produce is often old. The bagged apples are often mealy. I've repeatedly gotten funky potatoes in the big bags of potatoes. Check-out is really slow because the same person rings you up and bags. Customer service is pretty good. Organization in the store is terrible. For any one type of item, there are usually about 4 places you can find it. For example, black beans are in the "latin american" food aisle, but also in the "canned beans" aisle and probably 2 other places that i haven't even found yet. Also, products are often out of stock for weeks at a time. The ethnic food selection and beer selection are pretty good, though. read more

Living in DC, I find myself yearning for the Wegmans back home whenever I try and go grocery shopping. It's always my first stop when I visit home. read more

If there is anything that I would miss the most about Ithaca after graduation and moving to another part of the world, it will hands down be WEGMANS!! Seriously the best ever supermarket I have ever been to. Just looking at the fresh produce everywhere is enough to make me happy after a hectic study week, not even mentioning the cheese, the balsamic and prosciutto... my European boyfriend says not even Europe can compete with it. Every time when I want to experiment with new recipes and find out funky items that I've never heard of the name, it can almost be guaranteed that you can find it in Wegmans.... really appreciate the presence of Wegmans that make my life here in Ithaca so much more delicious, and am gonna miss this place so much.... read more

My favorite grocery ever. I wish I still lived in ITH just so I could still go to Wegmans.

This is a great grocery store. They have a very good selection of ethnic ingredients, prepared food, cheeses, meats and seafood. Their bakery is amazing, especially their chocolate ganache cakes. Unfortunately, the deli sometimes closes a few minutes early on slow nights, before their posted hours. This is annoying. In my opinion reputable businesses stick to their posted hours! The prices can be high for some things but are low for others. read more

Love their cooked food, cheeses, breads, and the prices for frozen foods are good as well compared to other stores. . read more

It's kinda sad to say that a supermarket is the best thing going on about Ithaca, but it's true. i gave this place five stars because it's the most entertaining thing in Ithica. This place feels like a Whole Foods, but is more approachable and affordable. I love the large selection and hot foods. read more

Wonderful produce and great selection. They even have samples at certain time of day. Easily accessible by bus. however, the prices are a little bit more expensive than your average Super Walmart. read more
