    Good with some caveats. For the most shopping is a decent experience until you get to the cashiers. Either they have an attitude, or they are inept or a combination of both. With some good cashiers this store could be something special.

    I recently brought a pint of organic ice cream. When I got home I realized it was expired. The expiration date was from 2020. My money was refunded. Today I looking at the sale price for butter. 99 cent for 4 sticks. I thought what a steal. However, the expiration date was February 1. I told the owner, short older guy with glasses, he said this is why the butter is 99 cent. I thought food on the shelves after the expiration date was a no no. However, here that rule doesn't apply. What a shame the greed is endless.

    Avoid buying meat here. Many complaints abound. However, I do like some of the produce offerings, and some of their frozen and canned goods in a pinch and a few of the hot-food counter items are good. The store is kept relatively clean. I think this grocery store similar to the other store on E. Warren manages on the 'captive-audience' factor! People that go there cannot go elsewhere. I'd like to see more diverse options for their produce.

    The Hot food counter located at the entrance has some good food, shawarma, Fried Chicken, Pizza, Bread sticks, pasta salads, slaws, and more. Some local products, and your usual know brands throughout the store. Prices are high for a lot of items unless there's a sale. Check Cashing, and Bill payment.

    University Foods carries a wide assortment of groceries. As in competing grocery stores, many brands here are nationally known, but this store offers more than a few products that you would expect in a specialty market.

    University Foods has received a beautiful new look.. it is now sparking and the aisles are really well stocked. The blueberries I bought were the best ever. What a great resource for our midtown neighborhood!

    Favorite place to buy groceries from! My wife and I always come here to shop and the staff is very patient and kind. The deli has amazing food as well! Aiden and Armani made sure that all my food that I ordered was perfectly made with love

    The problem with chain grocery stores is that while they’ll have national items that we all know and love, it can be hard to find higher-quality items from time to time. The problem with shopping at a organic grocers is the opposite - Traditional items are harder to find. University Foods is nice because they bridge the gap for both. The selection is a bit more limited for those on a budget, but that doesn’t mean that this place doesn’t have rock-solid deals if you know how to shop right (and I’d like to hope that an increase in patronage would lead to an increase in purchasing power for the store.) I wish the hours were a bit longer, but that’s my only complaint.

    Literally the highest market in the universe, 24 pack small water 6.00 and they say it's on sale? Lol 😂 so I hate to see regular price. Can of regular soup 2.55 Oreo handi cookies 9.79 dollar store our family fabric softener 5.00 ? And the owner has attitude issues..

    University Food is where you can find just about anything from fresh vegetables. Fruits, and more. Shop with confidence.

    Convenient and offers a wide variety of groceries and household products, but some items are a bit pricey

  • 5/5 Mark T. 7 months ago on Google
    Very nice store. The prices are a bit high on somethings but the staple items are comparable to other stores in the area.

    Very nice store. The prices are a bit high on somethings but the staple items are comparable to other stores in the area. You can't go wrong with the produce, the selection is well curated and itemsare fresh. The check out is fast and pleasant.

    DO NOT EAT HERE. I got food poisoning after getting two slices of pizza late at night.

    I would do my weekly shopping here. They have rolos — not big bags or anything, but enough for my purposes. Nice atmosphere.
