Vallis I love to shop there, affordable and services are friendly. When you are trying to find something they are quick with coming up to help you, there is a certain cashier I go to, he is always by the exit, and work in the afternoon. I wont name names but he is there majority of the time. BEST CASHIER EVER!! SO POLITE AND HIS RAPPORT TO KEEP YOU COMING BACK! HE HONESTLY IS THE GREATEST.

This store has a large fruit & veggie selection. They also have a nice bakery which I now avoid. Enjoyed the tirimasu, lemon bars & cheese cake a little to much. I love going down the ethnic food aisle. Found some different & great side dishes. They have a fresh seafood section with great selection. They also have a section where you can purchase fresh made/cut kabobs, etc. If youre a senior, go on Tuesday for discount on purchase. Fun store to shop.

They have some things that other grocery stores dont have, and the people are pleasant, but they have a serious issue with their dairy storage. Many, many times I have bought milk and cream there that go off a day after opening. Their fridges must not be cold enough, or the stock sits out too long after delivery. Either way, Ive stopped buying dairy there, its a waste of money. Their fruit and vegetables are also unreliable. Sometimes good, but very often I have to dig through stacks of produce to find a lemon or a pepper or a head of garlic or whatever that isnt half rotten. Yesterday evening I bought some blackberries and this morning the entire container was sprouting mold. More money just thrown away. Ive really wanted to support them, but the quality is just too unreliable.

Top notch produce and very nice selection of everything. Meat is a bit suspicious, otherwise all good 👍.

The ethnic food choices are outstanding! The only problem is I buy way more than I should and then I have to “put it all away.” What a great place!

Love how many options of Honey. Organic and unprocessed. Fresh veggies and fruit better than most big chain grocery stores. Deli makes better sandwiches than Subway and not stingy with the meat or toppings.

Review №13

High security. Theyve got like a wall of cameras and I think thats pretty tight. A store that values and protects its products is a store that has good products amirite? I love the giant snack shelf too lol. Imagine shopping at jewel lmao, go here.

Review №15

Very surprised going here. Its like an upscale grocery store. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy but I guess enough well to do customers live in the vicinity to allow them to operate. Highly recommend. I bought delicious lunches from pasta to sandwiches. Very inexpensive. They have great selections of pastries and nuts. A wall of candies too. Then very nice seafood dept. Clean facilities as well. The strip mall is a dump but this grocery store is what you would expect in a wealthy area. So grateful they are around. They have everything you need.

I really like the offerings of this store! Tons of hard to find products such as dark soy sauce and Shaoxing vinegar. They have a HUGE produce section and also carry sweets and treats from other countries.

Very good selection of produce at good prices and good selection at deli but even though they had about eight people behind the deli counter and no other customers. Were around i had to ask if anyone ŵas working there there before someone acknowledged me and then the person. Was so so. That was a first for that kind of service . Cashiers are usually very good..

Valli Produce employs staff that have actively tried to infect customers while working. Management is aware and has taken no meaningful actions to prevent future incidents.

I love this store! From the fresh fish to the fresh veggies & fruits to their fresh mozzarella to their legumes, spices, and dried fruits, this store has nearly everything I need for the Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Middle-Eastern, Italian, Spanish, fusion, etc. dishes I love. Prices are really good as well. They have other stores in the Chicagoland area near me, and their all good, but this one is the closest to me... and my favorite.

I have been going to Valli since they opened here. Its a well run clean large independent grocery store. The staff is pleasant and helpful and they offer many things made in store. Most of these offerings are really good,but there are a few clinkers.I can always count on finding some new and interesting products to try. They offer many foods produced locally. Ethnic selections are interesting and well chosen with many nationalities represented.The produce section is huge and constantly monitored for freshness. The prices are quite fair,but I would not buy a lot of non food items here. Valli is a great addition to our community. I am glad they are here.

Valli has a huge selection of ethnic foods, a great deli, and fresh seafood, not to mention their outstanding produce section. Oh, and for what its worth, I always love the eclectic selection of music over the sound system. :)

Love this store. It has a huge amount and variety of products. Beautiful produce section and fresh fish. The staff is exceptional, friendly and ready to assist. I like that it’s family owned and operated and it has a diverse team. Prices are about the same or a bit lower than someplace like Mariano’s. This has become my #1 grocery stop.

Awesome selection of produce, pasta sauce, hot peppers/giardinieras/pickled stuff, vinegars and oils, breads and bakery goods, deli meats and cheeses. Not a huge selection of frozen stuff, but you can go to Jewel for that, anyhow.

Review №46

Valli is well stocked store with a large variety of produce, packaged goods and even a decent alcoholic beverages selection. Depending on the day of the week youre here, it can either be a pleasure to shop or a tightly packed nightmare. However, their checkout counters are speedy and efficient, even if their baggers dont get out of the way to give you space when youre doing your own bagging.

We love this store. Ive been ordering through their curbside pick up program during COVID and NORMA has been incredible. Anytime I put in an order she calls to update me on items that are out of stock prior to pick up so that I can adjust and plan accordingly. Norma offers the care of customer service that Im not seeing from other grocers during this hectic time. Thank you for being a store we can rely on.

Great prices, love the produce and items they have. Only thing I noticed was that they do not clean the self checkout screens after other people use them. Its a pandemic! All the other places do, so it would be nice if they did as well.

Fresh produce, almost always able to find what I need. Although I had found some expired product, like a whole section of Tennessee pride sausage and advised one of their associates and the guy could care less. Other than that experience Im always happy with the quality of meat and produce I purchase from Valli!

Always great deals found here and very friendly staff. Too bad it is far away from me. On the bright side it is easy access by public transportation. Fresh produce and always a good price on meats. Deli is fully stocked and clerks have good knowledge of the products. If your looking for good value this may be worth looking into.

Review №77

Five stars solely for reduced produce section in their Evanston store. For someone eating healthy on a budget getting a whole package of vegetable or fruit for $1.49 is absolutely wonderful. If you cook there is so much you can do with reduced produce. Wish their container for them was some type of cardboard(easily recyclable) instead of the plastic ones like they use for meat but not faulting them for it. Also wish they replenished the handheld baskets a little more often. Besides these two things still five star grocery store. Love them and the products they carry. Better than Jewel.

Best deli and produce section in the Evanston area. And by far the best prices for both. I was getting sandwhich stuff for my office. Ran into Jewel next door and laughed at their tiny overpriced deli. Drove 5 minutes down the road to Vali and paid half the price for the exact same meat and cheese.

Beware when checking out, if you are rewards member and they scan your mobile card it does not take the discounts off you have to be very vigilant to make sure you are getting credit for your purchases but also getting your discounts. Every time I shop here it does not take my reward card and I have to wait till management comes over to override the problem and then I have to wait till they take my information down. This is a waste of my time and they need to fix the rewards issue!
