The Village Grocer

I've been shopping from Village Grocer since 2006, when I was a high school student and it was located at Kennedy & Carlton. And I've been a huge fan of their Jelly Roll, having it as often as I can at special occasions, or simply when I craved it. Now I am married with my wife, and introduced her to the Jelly Roll, which is her favorite dessert in the world. Yesterday, I went to buy Jelly Roll for my wife's birthday, along with some flowers. After blowing out the candles and whatnot, when we dove in to devour the cake, but it wasn't the same. The roll, instead of being filled with cream and fruits, was mostly filled with bread. When we had it just a few months ago, it wasn't like that. I understand the wage has increased and you need to cut down the cost, but I'd rather pay a few extra dollars to have the Jelly Roll filled with cream and fruits, rather than cake. I hope this message finds the right person, so that when I buy a Jelly Roll next time, I won't be disappointed as much.

This is a very nice and small grocery store, very cozy, clean and well organized. Here you can find almost anything you need with great quality meat and produce. Their baking products are quite good and delicious. They also have a nice deli section with good variety of products, and there is also prepared food available. They have a reasonable sized parking lot structure which is very convenient.

Don't go in hungry unless you plan on getting food there! It reminds me of going to Kensington market but a little more close to home. Higher end produce and meat products but also higher in price. I've never had the food there but their cakes are to die for. I love the chocolate ganache cakes. It's a great way to get fat. I've had their some of their other cakes and it's always delicious!

Something different than going to big box grocery stores, wonderful shopping experience, great selection of homemade frozen foods, baked goods, deli meats. Homemade stuff is quite delicious. Worth the premium prices every once in a while.
