I seem to be on a mission to drop by every Zehrs in Cambridge. Last Saturday, I gave this location a try.
I learned that Hespeler is a neighbourhood in Cambridge and was a former town. When I parked in front of the store, I noticed a wooden picnic bench with Hespeler colourfully painted on it. I am always learning something new when I visit.
I walked into the store. It has a single set of automatic doors to go in and out of the supermarket.
I was here to get some baby spinach. I was pleased to see that a kale, chard, and spinach mix was 50% off. It was perfect for my quiche and green smoothies that I was planning on making.
The produce section is amazing. Everything looked so fresh and nicely maintained.
Naturally, when I'm at a cool grocery store, I get more stuff than I should. I ended up getting sugar-free raspberry lemonade kombucha. I have been told that it generally is low in sugar, but this one had no sugar in it. I have consumed it and it was delightful.
There is an alternative pasta aisle. I found Daiya mac and cheese, and chickpea spaghetti. It also took me a long time to tear myself out of the chocolate aisle. The selection is mighty impressive.
I also got an economy pack of Command 3M hooks. These days, I have been into putting them up for various things. As of late, I now have hooks for my face masks.
The cashier that I had was helpful and nice. She asked if I needed a bag. I was fine carrying my few items in my arms. I paid with a credit card. Tap and done!
There was another staff member helping a man with a question about sauces. I was trying to figure out where she was moving. She gave me an arm gesture that I didn't appreciate, as if I didn't know how to get past her. Um, maybe if you both were planted smack in the middle of the walkway, and were both blocking everyone from leaving the store, I would be able to figure out how to get past both of you. It was my only not-so-happy moment, which put a damper on my experience here. Otherwise, it's a cool supermarket with items that I like.
