Overall Hyvee has been a great, go-to grocery store for me. I used to use their delivery service regularly (until they started charging). We love the selection, variety and flow of the store at the Fitchburg location, but recently moved and are not finding the East Wash location as comprehensive. Many of the items we used to easily get in Fitchburg we can’t get here or they are often out of stock. The layout of the store is not ideal. I do hope they expand their health marketplace section, frozen fruit selection, and fresh produce selections. Prices continue to rise which is challenging. Often, all the self checkout lanes are closed off but unclear why (though I do miss regular checkout). There’s definitely potential to improve this location and I hope they consider investing in it. Thanks for reading!
Every time I go to this store there's something new that they are doing to ensure you have the most frustrating experience possible. This time there were ZERO manned checkout lanes open and only two small self checkouts (none of the full self checkouts for over 12 items) at 7pm for all of the customers. At least one item always rings up incorrectly due to awful price management. Highest prices in town on literally everything I purchase despite signs everywhere claiming low prices. Not open late anymore. Can only leave out of one exit despite no signs warning you of this on the doors when you enter. Not worth the effort anymore.
Had to come on and shoutout the Hy-Vee bakery! They have such a wide selection of treats from macaroons, croissants, cakes, multiple loaves of bread, tarts- I could go on! And the staff is always so friendly. I personally LOVE their croissants (comparable to the ones I get in France tbh) and the staff is always willing to package a few for me since I don’t need the six they usually are pre-packaged in which I greatly appreciate. Also, my family has gotten our birthday cakes here for years. 🙏🏾
I have enjoyed Hy-Vee since I was a little one and my grandparents used to take me there for breakfast all the time.
Now that I am older I depend on them for having the best brand of Gluten-Free products, Good Grace's. Seriously the best brand for pasta by far. It's the perfect combo of corn and rice and it has the best taste. I recommend for anyone new to the gluten free game.
My wife loves Hy-Vee for their extensive bakery (especially their fresh bread). She also loves the Chinese food they sell there in the hot food section. It's affordable and you get a good amount of food for the price.
They have a lot of dreat deals and their specialization sections like their deli, bakery, prepared foods section, the market grill, and a pretty sweet meat counter.
Those location also has a Wahlburgers but we have nor has the pleasure of having it as I still think it's over priced lol. But it looks yummy.
We love that they carry a bunch of Midwest specific brands that other stores do not that we love cooking with.
I have bought my wife flowers from here multiple times and it always is fairly priced and they're good at short notices.
Their multicultural sections in the grocery department is very extensive which is surprising since it's not a huge of a store as a Woodmens or Walmart. So it holds its own.
Thanks for reading! Until next time ⌛️
Prices always seem higher at Hyvee so I don't shop here unless I have a coupon for a specific item. Popular spot for many though and it's conveniently located on the Eastside. I do like the huge cheese selection available though especially for a nicer plate of special cheese.
Prices are average, friendly employees, but check out can be a frustrating waste of time and energy. Twice now when using the self checkout the system has shutdown and I have had to start over after scanning 95% of my groceries. I can unbag everything and start over, or I can go wait in a long line. Having a difficult time thinking Hy-Vee is my store which hurts because we share a hometown.
Woodman's here I come.
Will go out of my way to avoid shopping here. If you think you’re not paying enough for your produce, for some reason this store has the highest prices around. And every single time I’ve used the self checkout, something has gone wrong and there is NEVER anyone anywhere to be found to help me out. Twice now I’ve abandoned my groceries completely because I just can’t find someone to help me! Honestly no reason for me ever to come back here.
So, was in desperate need of cake Sat after other local store cancelled my order hr before pickup. After 4 different stores, ended up here. Was specifically looking for a white cake with white frosting & very little decorations (had cake topper to put on it). Finally found one that would be suitable. Except, although it was labeled "white cake", it was not. It's very much a yellow cake (which the birthday boy isn't a huge fan of...hence the specific white cake seeking). They should be more cautious in their labeling.
I am from out of town and heard good things about Hy-vee, so I wanted to try it out. The employee who took my order and checked me out was extremely rude and dismissive. She was an older caucasian women with blonde hair and a red shirt. She was rushing me while I was ordering and I messed up my order. I am giving 2 stars because I addressed my issue with the store manager and he was very nice and concerned about my experience. She needs to be coached on how to give proper customer service, being kind isn’t that hard
Went in to inquire about purchasing a custom cake for an employee leaving work. After browsing though there pre-designed cakes and books for ordering there was nothing uniquely eye catching to me. A younger cake designer walked me through the sizes and frosting choices and I decided just to go for it! I requested a specific message and just asked for it to be very bright, colorful, and with a variety of flowers. When I picked up the cake the following morning, - I was completely blown away with design. This cake designer/artist did an absolutely amazing job!!! I truly recommend ordering from them and recommend letting the experts design something for you.
