I just moved into the neighborhood and was happy that this Harmon's was just a few blocks from me. They do have a good selection, especially of local products and great produce. But when I compare it to Smith's I found that I spend on average 50-75 dollars more per month, buying mostly the same products. So a great place to pick up some local items and produce, but you are better off shopping somewhere else for the majority of products so you can save some money.
Harmon's is usually known for its better products. Exactly why I came to the kitchen for lunch. Ordered a few chicken tenders and when I sat down to eat they weren't even warm. I walked back up to the kitchen and she told me there was a microwave up front. Did I just pay for microwaved chicken tenders. Come on Harmon's you should act according to your prices.
Second time at this Harmons store for fresh bread at the bakery. Both times, all the bread in the bakery was overcooked! Who wants burnt bread? I had to stop at another store on the way home for fresh baked baguette and French bread.
When your reason for existing is to sell things, maybe teach your cashiers how to run their register. I just wasted 15 minutes of my life because the cashier couldn’t figure out Apple Pay, or how to void a transaction. Meanwhile there wasn’t a manager to be found, excellent customer service!
I have loved this Harmons since I was little. I am happy to drive a little further to shop here. It is always clean, well-stocked and the staff are friendly and helpful. The produce is high quality and I'm always happy walking out the door.
The store is huge — too huge. Miss something at one end, and it's a half-block trek back to the other end to find it, but that's not why I'm giving the store only two stars.
Specifically, this review is about their salad bar. I like salads, and my wife suggested it.
Like the store itself, the salad bar was big. It was also messy, badly stocked and the utensils were covered with the greasy debris of hundreds of people handling them with food on their hands.
The dressing bottles were a mess, with their contents coating the outside of the plastic bottles. The floor around the salad bar was covered with various vegetable bits and other assorted chunks of food that had fallen down and not been cleaned.
By the time I had finished making my salad, my hands felt like I had dipped them into a bottle of oily sludge. It's as if the employees hadn't bothered to clean or restock anything.
But the worst part came at the checkout counter. The total for our two less-than-appetizing salads came to twenty-four dollars! With those kinds of prices, the store could easily hire a full-time person to look after the salad bar to make sure it's well-stocked and, most important, clean.
I love shopping at this Harmon's. Although, today I had a very disappointing interaction with a girl at the deli. I asked her to cut me a piece of cheese about the size of half a brick and she came back with a full brick size cheese. Naturally, I said "That is actually too much, please cut this in half"
Her attitude was not polite and she acted very put out that I asked her to correct this. The experience made me question why I come to Harmon's. Their food is definitely more pricey that other grocery stores. If a staff member is having a bad day, please don't take it out on your customer.
Also, it made me think why didn't she ask before she bagged it and priced it? That would be the best way to avoid it. (Most deli employees do this)
I love shopping at Harmons but today I was very disappointed. We went to the bakery to check it out and saw burned pretzels for sale. These were the large pretzel bread types. Burned is not the correct word. These were BURNT up breads. Shame on you Harmons. These should have been given out for free to feed the birds. Other than that the meat man was very helpful.
There's not much to not love. Customer service is great. Selection is fantastic. There's not much you can't get here that you could get at Caputo's or whole foods. Produce is pricey, but the best. Tons of local stuff if you're into that. Great meat, great cheese, helpful foodies And the artisan bread is unbeatable. You'd have to fly to Paris to get better baguettes.
Great place. Prices are a little higher than a less quality store, but it's worth the value and the customer service. Their produce is top notch, meats are always good, and shelves always seem to be stocked.
They've made great improvements to this store. Excellent bread bakery and local selections.
Overall a pretty nice selection of products. A diverse selection of fruits, including some harder to find ones like rambutan (my favorite fruit by far) and cherimoya. Plenty of seafood options. Nice cheese options. Great selection of soaps, shampoos, etc.
They sold me burnt bread, but they made it right. I was impressed by the customer service. Prices are steep, but it has a great unique selection.
I love Harmons! This location is great and super convenient not far from where I live and the food they serve is quality which is nice! I can come here for dinner and get a healthy salad and pick out exactly what I want or don't want on it.
The only thing I wish for the salad bar is that they would put labels so people that have allergies can know if anything was cooked with dairy or gluten, or any other allergies. I have dairy and gluten allergies so those ones come to mind first!
The other thing is if they could label what is in the salad bar that would make a worlds difference. Even though it's pretty obvious, sometimes you don't know what's in something or just in general I guess.
