I love this store. Its clean. Food fresh. Its like going to a fruit stand or on a fresh farm. They had things I wouldnt find in other places that carry fruit and vegetables.
My family did a quick stop here to look for a specific item. Was very annoyed with this store. We found their meats to appear old looking and my daughter bought chicken to cook as it appeared to look the best and it was spoiled. The chicken had a smell. Will not purchase meat here again.
Its a NEW grocery store not to far from us. By driving or walking if you like long walks. A friend of my sisters reccomend this store. So, we came in to see for ourselves whats everyone chatting about. I will say Saturdays are their busiest days. It was nice to see the crowds of people shopping but we were able to take our time walking in every aslie. Learning the map of this store. I love the seeing the bakery right as you come in on your right. They have a large self- service of NUTS- SEEDS & more in weighed plastic containers with prices on them on the back wall. I found my Brazil Nuts & Asst. Swedish Fish but these are thick fish. Taste OK but not like the Red Swedish Fish. I found a lot and so did my sister. I was taking a lot pictures. And thinking of meals to make for this week. We will be back.
Purchased manila mango and got cognac mangos instead and they were all bad inside as well. I forgot to keep the receipt and the manager said he could not do anything to address my problem. I have returned stuff without receipt at all other grocery stores. I am a $200/week customer of this grocery store. Not anymore. I am not buying here again.
Convenient location on CTA California/Dodge bus line. Tuesdays are Senior Discount days with 10% off your total grocery bill. Good selection of produce and vegan items.
It is long past due that I write this review! I spent about a year and a half to two years employed at this location. A fantastic group of people to work with, especially store leadership!
The food is fresh and of high quality. Prices are high, but still competitive, considering level of quality. Staff are friendly and very helpful.

Great floral selection, and the employee that wrapped the flowers for me was very nice, he did a great job, while training another employee!
Quick conveyance, in a split second! That is the thing that the store invests heavily in. The store basic food item conveyance stage pledges to offer quality and administrations to its clients. Experience the accommodation of setting orders for food in the solace of your home. Its quick, simple, and helpful.
The people at Vallis is always helpful. It is a very nice store to shop. Thank you, Vallis
Asked for blueberries, produce guy directed me to an area that did not have any blueberries.After checking out, was asked paper or plastic? Chosing paper did not ensure my fruit a safe journey home. First, the bagger dropped them a foot putting them in the bag, then, dropped the bag into the cart from a greater height! This seems to be a common trait of baggers in general, but I did not see a self checkout here.
They have a wide variety of food, prices seem reasonable for the most part. And many of the employees are great.
Always a pleasant experience shopping at whole foods, never can go wrong here
Valli has beautiful and affordable produce, great ethnic foods and lots of gluten free items. Face mask optional.
It is my go to place for grocery. Here you get everything and I really mean it. There are so many options for frozen meats, fresh vegetables and so on. Staffs are well behaved.
Very good for groceries and foods. Even many international foods available. Lots of options. Price is slightly high than other stores but overall great option.
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.
Great neighborhood grocery store. I only wish they had more organic fruit. Otherwise great store!
This grocery shop has very fair prices, a good range of items, a variety of options, and an effort to keep the food ingredients safe.
Really good market with astonishing cheap food!
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.
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.
First time shopper and I have to say Im impressed. I was here stocking up on raw produce, raw nuts, and raw seeds.While the raw nuts and seeds werent in their own section (never are! Hint) I was pretty happy with the selection and prices were ok on most.Beautiful lemons today.Currently on day 4 of 51 raw..Did 28 days when pandemic hit and quit until now.
A great neighborhood grocery store. Clean with lots of healthy and organic options. Friendly checkout staff.
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 love this place i used to be a cashier here and i love ringing up every single one of them and i loved all the customers,,valli is a nice place to shop
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.
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.
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.
The best grocery store in Evanston! Awesome prices on produce and great selection storewide. There are always great specials and prices are all over lower than competitors. Be sure to download the app for bonus bucks.
Clean, great customer service and a great variety of fruits and vegetables . ALWAYS IMPRESSED when I shop .
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.
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..
You guys are a gift to every neighborhood that has a whole foods!! You can shop for food or alternative products and just feel ecstatic
Great store friendly staff great prices
For senior day ( Tuesday) they slightly discountproduce that is one day away from the compost heap.
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.
Large selection of organic produce,Terrific selection, great service and a fantastic store to shop at
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.
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. :)
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.
Coming from the west coast, I felt like I walked into a cross between Whole Foods and Trader Joes. Great sleetion of fresh produce fruits deli bakery and vegan options.
The place is too big, but the building has very high quality plaster in its walls. 😋
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!
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!
Its ok. needs more check out lanes or more staff to speed up the scanning and bagging
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.
I love this store! Great produce, aged steaks for special occasions, wide variety of dried beans for soups and stews, as well as bulk snacks, nuts etc in clear, convenient containers. Great bakery also!
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.
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.
The deli has tasty multi-grain and curried tofu salads. The servers are friendly and efficient. There are self-service terminals and good cashiers.There is seating for hungry shoppers.Prices are similar to those at Jewel food stores.
Good store, very delicious bakery. Has everything you want from a supermarket. Deli service is a bit slow.
Family owned, well stocked, nicely designed space, and they carry locally produced products! And they have mini carts for the kids!!!
Large selection of everything! Always fresh produce, fish, meats, deli, dairy, packaged foods, alcoholic/ non-alcoholic beverages and tons of other stuff :)
The produce and meat were exceptional. I will be traveling here to get my food from now on. Prices and selection are great!
Incredible selection of international and specialty, foods. Also many name brand and specialty plant based foods. WONDERFUL bakery. Incredible selection of prepared foods and unmatched selection of cheeses. TO check out: large quantities of dated bundled produce for $1.49! Fabulous sales.
Lots of different selections of produce, meats, and cheeses. A bit expensive but the stuff you get is quality and delicious. Store was well stocked and plenty of employees around if you needed help. Would recommend to come and shop here.
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.
Just ate a prime ribeye from their butcher shop. Out effing standing! Love all their produce. Has some really great ethnic foods. Love the store.
Good store with a very broad selection.
Outstanding produce section and good deli selection. Great selection of imported products! My only complaint is the seafood department and surrounding area really smells due to open raw items outside the counter, and for someone with a shellfish/fish allergy like me its really dangerous. I have to completely avoid that section in the back of the store most of the time because I start getting reactions. Please fix!
Great place to shop. Big selection of produce, fish, meat, & foods of different culture.
This place has an assortment of foods and is what I would consider a full-fledged grocery store. The produce is extensive and the meat department is always offering a good variety of products. They also have an area dedicated to wine so you should be able to find a good bottle. Only minus is their paper bags which tend to rip apart if slightly over loaded, which means more bags to carry. Staff is always nice and helpful.
Had a bad experience with a milk chocolate shake. My sugar was very low and I needed to have it but I was drinking it when I realized it was expired. My daughter told a girl about it and she received an apologize from the girl. I use to buy all my super in your store never happened this to me. I love Valli Produce. Congratulations.
Love this place... Have been going here since it opened. Everyone is friendly and know my son very well.
Great selection and love the various specialties sections.
Full of well-informed locals. Always great help one question away! Product selection is unique from standing and decently priced. It is the best place to shop.
Great grocery store with a dazzling display of a very wide selection of fresh produce! Great deli, international foods, spices, bulk...you name it. And prices are quite reasonable. Staff is also pleasant and helpful. AND for seniors, 10% off everything every Tuesday. Love this grocery store!
Their produce quality varies and sometimes they have phenomenal specials; at other times you may have to sift through dozens of apples to find a good one. Everything else is consistently fantastic and theres a wide selection available. Good place for craft beer.
Excellent store. Great produce. Great staff. No matter how busy it is you ways get out of there fairly fast.
After been in line behind 2 other people with a full cars waiting for my turn went it was time the cashier just told me Im closed What? I been waiting! I dont care Im close.Can you imagine waiting almost 10 min and then you out! because she want it.
Ive been waiting a long time for a store like this to open. There isnt as large a selection of non-food items here (for instance, health and beauty products, pet food,etc.) but the wide selection of everything else more than makes up for it. Incredibly, their freshly-made sushi is pretty good and has become a once-a-week dinner for our family. The prices are good and its a pleasant shopping experience.They also have some pretty good deals - for instance, Ill be picking up a three-foot sub (yes, 36) for spending $50 there today.
Fantastic produce section, wide range of ingredients for all kinds of cuisines, affordable prices, and super helpful staff.
My new go-to supermarket. They have a broader array of produce than Whole Foods and at a fraction of the price. No attitude, either. Its not just produce, though. There are all your favorite foods in the aisles and a better than most selection of various ethnic foods. Also a very good beer and wine selection. Its well worth going a little out of your way to Valli. Plus everyone seems so friendly here. Forget Whole Foods.
Locally owned chain of grocery stores, firmly committed to the LOCAL neighborhood!Place is well stocked and well run. Meat department has excellent pricing on very good quality beef, even carrying PRIME graded beef. Fish department has a terrific selection of very fresh seafoods and clearly labeled: where it comes from, thawed, etc.For sure a welcome addition to the ever changing and consolidated grocery landscape.
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.
Great for everyday shopping, or if you are a chef.
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!
Not as fancy looking as other stores but great grocery never the less. Produces are good with organic options. Love the pastry and bakery section. They have gelato too and my fave; beef bone marrow in the meat aisle.
Love valli!!! Fabulous produce at the best prices. Honestly you cannot beat it. It is a full grocery store and there are sales all the time. The cashiers are always friendly and the sushi is really good!!!
Great produce selection. Meat selections, not so much. Good selections of fish . The place is clean and organized. But the customer service most especially the cashiers are rude. I agree with one of the reviewer, Kyrina R. The management tolerates the rude , unfriendly behaviors of the staff. I don’t know why the cashiers have attitude when dealing with customers. I will not shop at this place again.
Top notch produce and very nice selection of everything. Meat is a bit suspicious, otherwise all good 👍.
Personally, my go to grocery store somewhat near me. Their prices are generally better (I usually only shop sale items), I like the selection, and the quality of the produce tops most. They dont charge for bags, which are paper.
I love valli produce! The choices of groceries, gourmet and from many countries. The seafood choices r great and they will cut fish into serving portions.the produce is always fresh and delicious.all the products and the bakery goods r all displayed beautifully. I can easily spend 2 or more hours shopping weekly!
Very wide selection in all areas of the store!Great sale prices. Good quality. Sparkling clean. If you go when the store is busy you may find the produce aisles a little narrow and crowded. If you enjoy meeting people, its a great place.
Never enough registers open, go early and be prepared to wait.
Produce is great, meat is high quality, significant bulk food selection, hispanic and international foods sections are fantastic (really love the Jamaican and German sections). Staff is nice and helpful. Definitely my go to.
Top notch grocery and european-ish style market but not overpriced in comparison. Bring an educated shopper makes the difference. I deducted a star for Deli attendants could be a bit more personable for my preference. Usually bakery gets grumpy due to long hours. Added start back for Great baked goods and Italian cookies
This store is one of the best kept secrets in Evanston. They carry everything that you can think of and all of great quality. The prices are great which for milleniums who like to brag that they spend more money than other people is not so good. The store is gigantic, the quality as good as any other big store. They have their own bakery, fish market, huge selection of beer and liquors. In short, for people in Evanston that never been here, they should check it out. I promise you will not be disapointed.
My favorite grocery store. They have so many varieties of vegetables and fruits. Offer a good price for meats and dairy products. Many options with the Asian section.
Valli Produce has the everyday ordinary selection of meats, produce, bakery, and grocery items. One of the treats in the store is their deli selections and ready made meals. Chicken Parmesan is my favorite and there are marinated chicken bits ready for the grill. I also like the clean upscale atmosphere.
Butcher section and produce section are amazing. Everything else is hit or miss. Just picked up a 1.5lb dry aged bone in rib-eye and an 8oz prime filet. Both were amazing.
It was very easy to find everything that I needed
This is a wonderful grocery store. It has all the amenities of those great big super stores but still reminds me of the stores I grew up with. Very good selection all around. Please visit this store, we need to keep these type of stores stores in business, plus they always have a nice variety of sales each week!
Great selection of international foods. On the expensive side for groceries though. What kind of grocery store closes at 9PM?? people that grocery shop after work tend to have the lines backed up between 5:30 and 9:00 PM. No self-service check out means long waits. If they were open a little later to accommodate, they would probably have more business.
This place is good option if you want something in between Jewel and Whole Foods cost wise. They have a decent bakery, and meat section. They also have cheap fruits but it tends to be close to expiring or even moldy. They accept NFC payments like Android pay too.
Last order was completely messed up: all organic produce was substitute with regular one without notification. Called customer service. They dont have any clue what is the difference between organic and non organic. Pick order was prepared a day before pickup day and kept without a fridge(I ordered some meat)
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.
Great store. Good attendance from people who shelf the food. But not a 5 star groceey store. Their cashiers lack simple skills. On numerous occasions they have placed my heavy foods on top of my delicate fresh fruits and veggies. What is the point of buying good food if they will arrive damaged in the bags. Who puts everything on top pf the bananas?. I have a friend who told me she noticed a difference in cashier baggings with people with different ethnicities. The store is great but their cashiers need training!
I have to drop my rating significantly. For the second time, we have brought home prepared food from Valli only to find out that it was inedible. Be very careful at this store to examine expiry dates on any item that has a short shelf life — we brought home blue mold on rolls and heavily fermented pizza dough. I feel strongly that expired foods should not be sold on the same shelf with the rest of the stock. Having to carefully inspect each item puts a burden on the customer that should be borne by the merchant.
Good for quick needs. The pricing is okay however, check ALL produce and bakery items before purchasing because they are usually molded. Otherwise, there are good lunch specials at the deli (both hot and cold choices).
Ive only been to this place a few times within a couple years! Its a great place for fresh fruit and veggies! They have a wide variety which is very difficult to find at other stores! 👍
I asked an employee to check a price on an item and he refused. I talk the manager George, his excuse was the guy didnt understand english. Then said Im not trying to make an excuse for him ,beside I get this everyday about him. Wow!
This is a great new grocery store! Its in a great easy and accesable location. With amazing prices. The food ranges from the united states to germany, thay have a section of the store for foods from other countries and continents. Its right inside evanston plaza making it so when you finish your time there you can visit any of the other store nearby. And it has great staff. If your in the area and you are looking for diverse foods and great staff and service and always nice people keep this store in mind. I personally been there and have shoped there it great.
I like this store. Fresh foods areas are large and well priced, good variety. Organic choices as well. Large bulk section. Its a little out of my way but I come here when I have a little extra time.
Groceries are always fresh and beautiful. Tons of different meats and cuts to get, including whole fish. Good selection of ethnic specialty items, although not definitive.
Love this place! I can always find what I need at a great price. Staff are pleasant and professional. Always my first choice for weekly grocery shopping and last minute items.
My boyfriend had a REALLY bad day today. I picked out one of the pre-made cakes in the display case and asked if a simple message could be written on it to cheer him up. The woman working the bakery counter was so wonderful!! She made it happen.It was beautiful, and the cake absolutely brightened my boyfriends day!! I am so grateful!! Thank you so very much!!!
Best grocery store ever. They have EVERYTHING, from health food to ethnic food. Im seriously impressed at the sheer diversity of their offerings. Never seen anything like it.
Watch out I bought 2 things there yesterday way past date. I realize it’s my fault for checking dates quickly, but I one case it expired March 2nd. Why is that on the shelf??? Off by a day or so I could still use it, but 17 days. Again I know it’s my fault, but be on the look out.
Theres only so much one can tolerate the Jewel on Chicago Avenue. After trying Marianos and not loving it at all (watching a woman stick her fingers in the olive bar repeatedly to snack was just one downside), I gave Valli a try. Went there on a Sunday morning. Easy parking, not crowded (granted, just after the holidays, maybe it was just because of that) and in I walked to a beautiful display of produce. Huge variety, everything was marked and priced, staff was refilling and fixing displays - and the prices! Driscoll Raspberries on sale in December for $1.49, lemons that werent going to break the bank just so you could have a squeeze on your salmon. All different kinds of apples and oranges and potatoes along with parsnips, beets, lemongrass, radishes, several mushrooms, just a good, solid variety and selection. The rest of the store has a huge selection as well, aisles are wide and immaculate, and staff is really nice. And they have a beer and wine section (not certain if they have hard liquor). I was just really pleased with the entire store and I hope it does well in Evanston, its a nice alternative to Jewel and Whole Foods on all fronts - price, service and selection.
Never listened from anyone: Hi or Bye! Never listened from anyone: make I help you! Never, ever was happened !! Should be more polite everyone who working in this store !! Thank you.
Best grocery store ever. They have EVERYTHING, from health food to ethnic food. Im seriously impressed at the sheer diversity of their offerings. Never seen anything like it.
Great selection, great prices. Beautiful veggies, seafood, meats. Things you normally cant get in a standard grocery store. And great staff..!!!
Far better than any other local grocery stores in Evanston. The prices are generally good or at least competitive with the other big grocery store in the area, but the selection is food in BEYOND fantastic. The other grocery stores in the area cant come close to offering the variety of foods at Valli. Its my go to grocery store every single week.
I love this place. Great prices and the freshest fruits and veggies Ive ever bought!
When they first opened the service was friendly and attentive. On a recent trip a cashier told me I shouldnt buy the seedless grapes Id chosen because God had put seeds in grapes and these were an abomination against God.
This is the nicest grocery store in Evanston. Good selection, great prices, excellent service. I will go out of my way to go here over any other store in Evanston. The deli and prepared foods section could use some beefing up (pun intended). But the beer and wine selection makes up for it.
Purchased a pakage of meat from Valli Produce when i got home and opened the pakage it smelled. The meat was spoiled. I called right away it had been less than 2 hours, the lady on the was helpful. She apologize and advise me to bring the meat back in and its package and she would refund my money. I let her know that itll be a couple of days before I can get in as I work she told me that was fine. When I get to the store another lady at customer service tells me shes not going to refund it even though the date on the package still have not came and the meat was spoiled she gave me a hard time then finally decided to give me store credit. I dont want store credit. I dont plan on ever shopping here again she got the manager he told her to issue a refund. As she gives me my money she say Next time no refund It wont be a next time. They are overpriced.
Good store, covers pretty much everything. Prices are the best ive seen. Good alcohol section
Valli may not have everything you THINK you need, but they do have enough variety and selection to give you everything you actually DO need.
Great Produce quality and price. Excellent Deli, Fish and Bakery. Huge selection. Helpful staff. Fast checkout no waiting.
Vallis has a very good selection of fresh produce, a varied assortment of foods from around the world, as well as standard grocery store fare. Ive found it a very welcome addition to our neighborhood.
The one thing that caught my eye was the flavorful scoops of gellatos multiple flavors. They sell it in sizes of one to four scoops. Delicious.
So many prep meals to choose from. If I dont feel like cooking. I go to there prep meal section pick something like alfredo pasta and just heated it up.😋
Love Valle. Great produce and good prices. Their pre-made salads are delicious. The pot roast too.
First time there...seems well stocked with good produce and lo5s of grocery options. But Im most impressed that 11 of 12 registers were open. Amazing! Thats true customer service
Excellent store, well stocked, great produce, meats and international foods. Great wine and beer selection.
First time using Valli Produce and everything and everyone was excellent.my groceries arrived on time and the driver was very polite and pleasant..would highly recommend and will patronize this market again
Great combination of wide variety of produce, meat, and grocery goods with attractive food layout and prices far lower than Jewel or Marianos. If you havent tried Valli its worth a trip.
Great place to shop and fairly good prices. They have great sales on many of the things that I buy frequently so I go here regularly. If you are on a really tight budget its not a bad place to shop.
Meat selection is awesome and cheap. I was a fan of Cermak Market, but this place is cheaper and has better quality/selection for the most part. Top notch!!
Very good Grocery store, reasonable price, variety of items, especially international items. Good place toShop.
Fresh vegetables and good prices
Valli is a nice addition to the Evanston grocery scene. A big store with a surprisingly good deli counter, good seafood selection and, of course, huge produce section. The produce appears to be riper than at the local Jewel, but that means that it doesnt last as long once you bring it home.
The fresh produce is spectacular. The prices on the produce are probably the best I have ever seen. Unfortunately, the rest of the store is quite expensive. I usually go there for produce and for some standard things like milk.
Its got the best produce section, an excellent meat department and regular specials on baked goods. Its the best priced grocery in Evanston.
Employees always available for help, top notch deli hot and cold, unrivaled prepacked bulk nuts, seeds, and candies. Wide variety of many ethnic foods. Sushi rolls made continously, and can be made while you wait. Kabobs, skewers, and marinated meats available. Gyro meat by the pound.
Always find great deals! On fish , milk products, wine etc. Great check out service! I wish produce was a little better looking... otherwise great store!
Great selection of items. Service is starting to go downhill. Lately some of the newer employees dont seem to be paying much attention to their customers.
I love this store, friendly people clean, and the produce is outstanding, and fresh bread too
My favorite Evanston grocery store. Great produce and amazing staff. Truly a gem of the West End community!
Convenient grocery store with good fresh products, large choice of fruits and veggies and a large offer of foreign articles includo g deli. Sushi/maki are good and fresh as prices are lowered at the end of the day.
Great produce, alcohol, and spice selection at some of the best prices in Evanston
Excellent grocery with huge variety of food and spirits. Do not miss the outstanding bakery! Senior Discount Day is Tuesday.
The chicken gave me food poisoning
Love this store for its specialty items, high quality seafood and meats, wine room and more. Wish it were in my neighborhood. Its worth a little extra drive.
Valli is a highly valued resource in the neighborhood. Their produce and deli are particularly good. The team is first-rate.
I was a huge supporter of Valli, especially as an Evanston resident. However, the customer service is not up to par with other grocery stores(i.e. Trader Joe’s) so I will no longer shop there. If management tolerates employees being rude to its customers, that is very telling of an establishment.
Valli is a nice store. There is a little variety for everyone. They have nice sales too. Enjoy.
Nice selection. Not cheap like Aldi, but less expensive than Whole Foods. Nice deli and cheese choices. Bakery is nice, but a bit pricey
Great produce and meats. I get more and pay less compared to Jewel. By the way, the customer service is great. The staff smile :)
My favorite grocery store. Good prices, helpful staff. Wide isles, great international variety.
Great produce and great prices. Hard to find international favorites and high class beer and liquor selection.
Fresh yogurt cups are the best
They have a great selection of fresh produce and poultry.I also love the deli section! Keep the good work up!
I enjoyed the experience at Valli Produce. The employees are helpful and the sanitation and social distancing is immaculate.
I have gone there a few times. But, I like their unique items.
Great grocery addition in Evanston, easy parking, However,breads and pastry baked could be improved. Large and expansive selection of veggies and fruits with reasonable pricing.
They really didnt want to help me I had to really find things on my own but I was my first time been there I was a lady had been working there for four years n didnt know where the water was
Pleasantly surprised by this gem of a store. Fresh produce, great prices, friendly staff. This is a wonderful neighborhood grocery store!
I love that this store is always well stocked and the prices are very fair. Quick check out! Recommended!
Love their produce selection and theyre very accommodating and friendly.
Generally good prices. The produce department has a good selection of quality fruits and veg.
I like the place it reminds me of a mini Marianos a lot of fresh fruits vegetables and poultry fish it is just absent of the bar area that Marianos has and more and less of the eating area but otherwise I like it and its close to home
Outstanding selection of produce and meats. Surprisingly diverse/global ethnic grocery selections. A fun store to explore!
This store is very well managed. Excellent customer service. Ruben the manager of the Bakery is excellent in customer service. I highly recommend this store for your shopping needs
Great selection of international specialties and standard groceries. Great sales, quick check out lines. One star off for short shelf life of produce.
Great meat, fish, deli, and produce deals. Best exotic fruits selection in Evanston. The gelato looks good, but I have yet to try.
Im glad to have a grocery store within walking distance from my house again. Seldom the cheapest prices in town, but definitely has a neighborhood feel.
Great deals in produce and meats. Freshest produce. Great brussel sprouts.
Great store. A lot of variety. Some things are pricey, some things arent. Still a great store.
This was my first visit. I was pleased to see a variety of fresh foods. Good quality, nicely priced produce.
Nice clean friendly helpful lstaff Excellent ProduceLarge bulk section fresh bakery specialty breads and rolls. Large delli and cheese section.Ethnic grocery items.
Wonderful store super clean. Fresh produce and a variety of candy. Best place to find nuts and anything imported.
They have a pretty good selection of produce and pantry items. The prepared food and meat sections arent as good as some other local markets though.
Raul in the catering department is my hero. The food was phenomenal, the service was amazing, and the prices blew me away. My company will be using their catering again in the future.
They dont carry many household items, just groceries w/out a lot of selection. On top of that, the staff has major attitudes, especially the ladies at the registers. If you want to be treated badly, this is the place for you!
This grocery store is very well organized and also has great fresh offerings. I highly recommend the sushi thats made there fresh daily.
Competent and helpful staff, clean and well stocked store with large selection of organic fruits and vegetables
Love this place. Great produce selection, spices and beans, cheap too. No fancy vegan stuff though.
Best grocery store around! Everything I need and things I wouldnt expect to find--friendly staff, large selection, quality produce.
Great selection of produce and other food. The store was super clean, and employees were helpful and friendly.
My favorite grocery store! All kinds of stuff, real “international”. Also the shelves are spaced nicely so it never feels too crowed.
I love this place. They have an enormous amount of everything! Happy Shopping!
They dont keep these sweet ARB shackles in stock but they do have M&Ms. Maybe someday you will carry sweet 4X4 parts.
Amazing choice of fresh fruits and vegetables. Very helpful and generous staff. We love this place!
Great store with excellent assortment of fruits and veggies.. Prices were also nice.

2022-03-20Great bakery with delicious pastries and cookies. There is always a special of the week. Produce is fresh and reasonably priced - always some good specials. Nice deli counter, cheeses, lunch meats - better priced than chain stores. Pretty store inside. Nice staff.

2022-01-19This was my first time visiting this store. A friend suggested this was a great place to buy fresh Red Snapper fish. I must say, I bought so much more! Team member ELI in the seafood department was very helpful, and treated me like I was the only customer in the store. He is truly and asset to this store, keep up the GREAT customer service Eli and I will be back!

2022-01-26Great place to shop for produce! They have everything you will need to make dishes you get off the net. From fancy schmancy to poor mans meal... theyll have all the ingredients on your list! They have an awesome nut and dried fruit section, piles of fresh beans (all kinds), and a great seafood section. I prefer this place to Marianos any day of the week! Huge parking lot too.

2022-03-25Amazing produce and meat dept. Good sale prices. (I know they are not catering to a Jewish population, but since it is so close to Passover, they might consider a few reasonably priced Passover products. I laughed when I saw a small display of 5 lb Matza for $18.99!!! Jewel sells it for $3.99!!!).

2022-01-31Its a really good place for people who like different national food, fresh fruits, nuts, and vegetables. You can use self-service checkout or a traditional cashier, you can choose a paper or a plastic bag. Im not enjoying prepared food here, but its just my preference.

2022-03-01Clean, convenient multiethnic supermarket. Nice produce section including lots of dried fruit and nuts at reasonable prices. Fairly good deli. A great variety of dry goods - not as much as going to specific Italian, Indian, Latino, etc markets, but plenty for most purposes. Good advertised specials including occasional free items.

2022-02-16This is our primary place to shop. The service is great, people are friendly and they have a great selection of meat, seafood and produce. Their grocery section is very hit or miss. However, if you watch the sale ads you can get some great deals. We always check the reduced produce and dairy sections. We have been very pleased with Valli since we moved to Evanston.
