    GreenStar Collegetown - Pretty limited dairy. Also some items (cream cheese for instance) are found in a different section which is confusing

    GreenStar emerged as an alternative to some of the other prepared food marketplaces in Collegetown,…read moreand its purpose strictly within the borders of Collegetown is great - there's nothing else that sells moderately priced groceries for those without cars on Cornell's campus. The location is great, and the hours are pretty flexible (8 am to 11 pm). For a food market strictly within Collegetown, GreenStar is a solid 4 stars. However, compare GreenStar to Wegman's, and it can't come close to compete based on selection, and can't touch Tops or P&C Fresh on prices. The problem with GreenStar is that it doesn't solve the basic need it was intended to serve, which is to present a feasible grocery option for Cornell students. I've gone to GreenStar in a pinch or if I need a quick snack in the afternoon, but it will never be my go-to source for major grocery shopping. The groceries are all organic or specialty foods, which I like for certain items (salsa, for instance, is a food of which I always buy local varieties), but if I need boxed pasta I want a $1 box of Barilla, not some fancy organic hand-made pasta. The prepared foods are nice, but I personally prefer the selection at CTB, and prices are similar. All in all, I'm glad GreenStar is open in Collegetown, but it doesn't really solve any of the problems it intended to.

    It's not your typical convenience store because they carry some unique products that you won't see…read moreat the big corporate stores. One product we bought to test our spicy hot tolerance was the Paqui Chip Challenge. We love spicy sauces but this chip had our mouth on fire. Great store to shop and the employees are friendly.
