Purchased a lemon blueberry loaf and this is what we got. Almost no blueberries and the lemon flavor was very weak. It was moist though.

I tried one of the soups and found it underwhelming. More troubling, however, was the name of another soup on the menu. You cannot credibly claim ownership over a food, grain, or pasta that originates from a broader cultural tradition by assigning it to a single country. Doing so is as absurd as walking into a liquor store and seeing “Irish tequila” on the shelf.

REVIEW UPDATE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kudos to Jay Liberman, President of Foodstuffs, Inc (Evanston location) for his thoughtful and immediate response to my post. Jay and I spoke by phone about my experience. He heard me and authenticity cares and values customer satisfaction. He generously made right what was an unsatisfactory situation. I returned yesterday for my weekly shopping and all went quite well. Every food item was superb⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I asked for you, Jay, but you were off sight. ———————————————— Usually, over the years my experience at Foodstuffs in Evanston is a positive one. However, yesterday was a great disappointment for a number of reasons. 1. The edamame, feta, cranberry and chickpea salad was awful. The chickpeas tasted like the aluminum can that it came in. And, there was no edamame in the dish as advertised. I could not eat it. Next time, soak dried chickpeas overnight, then, cook them in a pressure cooker. It ‘s quick and will taste a lot better. followed the recipe so you don’t leave out an ingredient. 2. The zucchini lasagna was tasteless. It lacked salt and other flavors you would expect in a lasagna. I could not eat it. 3. The Panini sandwich with turkey, cranberry sau

I've been here several times. The other day I walked in and didn't realize they weren't officially open for the day yet, and the manager was nice about it (sorry). It's a gourmet food store with prices to match, but the food is good. The customer service is not straightforward-friendly that you'd find in other places. I don't know if they're unhappy or stressed because of how they're being managed, or if the customers are high-maintenance enough to negatively affect their demeanor. One exception is a cashier who's been friendly for years, who seems to be enjoying her job. Other than that, I go there for the food, not the overall experience as at other places.
