Great product selection and convenient and easy shopping here. High quality products. A bit expensive but worth it. I like how responsible theyve been throughout the covid-19 pandemic.They also have a very convenient Amazon locker!!!

We went to this grocery shop yesterday. It is very accessible and near our area. The best spot to do your grocery needs! Strongly recommended!

I love shopping local, but damn is this place expensive and the selection is lacking. Not what I have expected.I received a response from the owner and while I respect your points regarding minimum wage and your space, I find your tactic of telling anyone who gives you a critical review to go shop at Whole Foods to be childish. There are plenty of other boutique local grocers on Ashland.

They have some of the best vegan and local products. No cash payments.

The staff was very good and kind to us. Besides, the entire store was a very good place to walk in and out, for it was big and clean. At the end of the day, we greatly enjoyed buying groceries in your store. Thanks a lot. We will be back soon!

They have an attitude talking to their costumers! Unprofessional and never go back again!

Almost double the price of what I’m used to paying and I’ve lived in Los Angeles and New York... slim pickins if you’re passing through as a solo bird. You can get the bare necessities but most things cost $7+. Happy to see so much fresh produce at a corner store, so for that I tip my hat, but it would be great if you could cater to everyone in the community and offer some cheaper options, not just “rich person goes non-gmo” selection. ♡ Would also be nice if you stayed open until at least 9pm.PS: The German review from 2 years ago states, “Quite expensive but for that you get good quality...” ☻ German efficiency at its finest. Sums up my sentiments succinctly and precisely.

Great selection of cold brew coffee and all natural sweets! I especially love that they feature liquors made in Chicago. Such a great local spot to support 💙

Local owned and operated, this is the best little neighborhood shop! I pop in for the basics and always walk out with a fun new item to try. Plenty of natural and organic options. The owner is so friendly and the staff is great. For a small store they always seem to have everything I need.

It was difficult to take time to look at the menu and pick meals with so many people pushing and yelling at one time! But a wonderful experience nevertheless.

A lot of expired food!!! I have bought without knowledge perishables, produce and dried food that were no good. This is not what a customer would expect for paying extremely high price...

Clean store with quality groceries. They have organic and vegan options. They staff is genuinely friendly. Great place to go to avoid the crowd of larger grocery stores!

Was excited to go here and grab a quick bottle of bubbles for dinner. Got there at 5:55 and they were pulling the shades down and closed up (sign says they close at 6)... the guy inside just shook his head at us. Bummer. Get there early!

I just called to ask about what brands of flour they have. The man I talked to was extremely rude, and when I asked for more details on what suppliers they had in stock (wanted Janie’s Mill, an Illinois company) he said “you can just go to Mariano’s or something” and hung up on me before I could reply. Perhaps they were busy or I misinterpreted his comments. I am bummed and was very excited to try out this place! Customer service 101: if you can’t answer someone’s questions, transfer them to someone who can or has the time.

Store has gone downhill in recent months after new owners came on board. I have purchased a couple of items in last 2 weeks specifically that were molded within a day or so of bringing them home.There are many better small grocers in the area (Dill Pickle and Fresh Market on Western near Armitage to name two) that have super friendly and helpful owners that truly care about what customers want (and don’t act snarky when returning an item due to spoilage).

Ultra friendly staff, great beer and wine selection, really appreciate the local and sustainable businesses they support. Also their little herb garden out front is FRIGGIN ADORBS!

Best one stop shop if you are like me and prefer local products. From eggs to cheeses to wine to produce to fresh pastas, you can find it all here. Prices are fair, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Two thumbs up.

Although it is not the most accessible cost-wise, the free box in the rear of the store featuring past-its-prime-but-still-legit groceries, the samplings and the coupon-filled newsletter make up for it. The people are kind and knowledgable. You can even send them an email with a food-related question and they will respond to you right quick. I love this place and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in eating locally and consciously.

I come here for hard-to-find healthy foods. I stay for the excellent service.Last time I was here it was after a long day at work and I wanted to grab something easy for dinner and a bottle of wine. The checkout person saw I was getting a bottle of cold white and offered that the wines were buy one get one 1/2 off. She suggested an amazing sparkling rose. (Dont judge, I know rose season is over!). The best part was, as I was leaving the store, she sprinted out behind me to give a dog treat to a customers dog who was sitting outside.Come for:Local meats (usual stuff plus whole chickens, rotating sausages, different kinds of bacons and other unusual items)Local dairyGreat eggsGluten free/ organic shelf stable itemsGreat local baked goodsGood assortment of fresh, ready to eat lunch and dinner itemsFresh, often local, VERY seasonal vegetables

Friendly, super-knowledgeable staff, great selection of local and delicious food. Beer and wine selection is great. Offers subscription services like a CSA with local farms and producers. The jalapeno soy dip they carry is among the finest things on the planet.

We stop in here at least three times a week. Not a place to do your regular grocery shopping, but its wonderful for quick bites and any last-minute items for dinner—baguette, bottle of wine, etc. They also have a great 50% off section for produce and day-old bread.

Review №35

This store recently shared how they wanted to be part of a conversation and process that pushes us forward in regards to alternative solutions to plastic use/sustainable practices. Both myself, and another (now former) customer commented on alternative solutions... respectfully, I might add. Their response? They deleted our comments and blocked us - we can no longer comment on their facebook feed nor leave a review for them. For a store thats named Green Grocer and claiming sustainable practices, they sure do like to shut people up that try to bring to their attention that their practices could be greener. Shame on your Green Grocer! I hope others start to call you out on your hypocrisy and treatment of customers that just are trying to bring things to your attention.

You can find our pasture raised pork and wild caught Great Lakes fish among many other local and seasonal items. @jakescountrymeats #havemeatwilltravel

We are constantly amazed that our very small neighborhood grocery store really has EVERYTHING we need! Love how thoughtful each and every product choice is and the staff is wonderful - always going above and beyond for us. Their beer and wine selection is fantastic and we love their Smoking Goose meat products from Indy, the ridiculous Paleo cookies that we can only find at GG, and their produce is basically a mini-version of the Green City Farmers Market!
