Heinen’s Grocery Store

The place to go for organic and local brands. The deli section rocks: garlic shrimp was perfectly seasoned and grilled, and and mashed sweet potatoes tasted like ice cream… Mmmmmm…

Heinens is the best. The staff is so friendly and helpful. It’s a complete contrast from other grocery stores *ahem Giant Eagle. The prices are really decent on most things also. Weekly specials are even better! I love the prepared foods (cause laziness). I love the deli and butcher. The butcher will cut to your specifications, and there is no crazy up charge *ahem Earth Fare.
I forgot to mention the bakery. It speaks for itself.

I love going to this grocery store. Fresh veggies and many different types most standard stores do not carry. The best part the veggies seem to last longer when I get them home compared to other stores. The cheese lady is very helpful. San Marzano tomatoes a bonus. I will shop here as long as the quality stays the same.

Oh Heinen’s, you so fancy!
Shopping at any Heinen’s makes me feel like a rich housewife. Partly because the stores are nicer and carry a lot of organic and local brands, and partly because I feel naked shopping without my Giant Eagle Advantage card and I think the prices must be so much higher. Honestly though, they’re not; and what you’ll find at Heinen’s is quality. Their produce is always fresh, the bakery is always fresh, their meat and seafood selections are always fresh — everything is.
Heinen’s carries a lot of craft beers and I’m always excited to pick up a bottle of Delirium Tremens or some Pumking in the fall. My last trip they had Schrimshaw and I was jazzed — after trying it at Winking Lizard in the glass of the month I thought I would never see any again since it must be «specialty».
I also really love that Heinen’s carries Hartzler’s dairy — how cool to get an old fashion glass milk jug. But yes, it is pricey. They have a good selection of protein and snack bars — try the KIND brand.
This Heinen’s sushi selection isn’t as great as Brecksville’s but it’s there and it’s fresh.
Consider picking up some cheese in their fancy cheese section or look for some Ohio City pastas in that general area too. I’ve even seen some Ohio City lobster raviolis in the frozen section — yum.
Heinen’s also caters to the gluten intolerant. Some of the frozen items clearly state «gluten free» and are all grouped together — love me the Organic Bistro Bowl’s Sesame Ginger Salmon at lunch. Items on shelves will also have little signs that notify you of their gluten free status.
The only part I dislike is the cart service, I’m either embarrassed because my car is dirty or feel weird not tipping. I consistently attempt to carry too many bags to my car on my own for those reasons… sheesh.

Hands down the BEST supermarket in Northeast Ohio. I grew up in a town with a Wegman’s — pretty great store, Heinen’s is every bit as good and has a way broader selection of products and an incredibly nice looking, well planned store.
The staff is what really sets it apart — no lazy cashiers or indifferent clerks, everyone is happy to help you and they WANT to help you. Incredibly personable staff — not sure how they do it but it’d be worth paying more for that service alone. But that’s the thing — Heinen’s products are extremely competitively priced (I can get better deals here than at Marc’s on many pantry items). If you’ve never been, go to the one in Avon — it is so worth it.

This is just one of those «feel good» stories that has you saying «why would I shop anywhere else?» Well, I guess if you are one of the unfortunate ones that does not have a Heinen’s near you then I understand, but for the rest of us this place is just plain great!
Founded right here in Cleveland in the 1920’s and currently owned by the two Heinen brothers, the store is clean, spacious and inviting. There produce is fresh, their selection is wonderful and the people working there are eager to help. They consistently have some of the freshest and best fish around and the fresh ground peanut butter is a must have item.
The bakery choices are terrific, and some of the local items they carry are not only unique, but delicious as well. I really like that they carry all the usual items plus some items you won’t find anywhere else. The prices are about average, but the value received in freshness and service makes for a very enjoyable shopping experience.

Have never been in a supermarket that sold fresh beer from a tap into a take home jug. very cool. they were sampling a muscat type grape that they sell in clamshells but they didn’t have any muscat taste. I’m all about putting stuff in a store to see what people might like, but I wish their merchandiser had actually tasted the stuff. The produce department was full of great stuff they could have been sampling. But I digress. I would totally shop here if I had a Heinen’s near me.

I LOVE Heinen’s!
I started shopping at Heinen’s a few months ago when my boyfriend decided to go on a gluten-​free diet for some health issues he was having. Besides having a dedicated gluten-​free aisle and and a gluten-​free freezer section they also have these awesome little signs throughout the store that mark individual foods as gluten-​free. If you call the customer service department at Heinen’s you can set up an appointment for a tour of the gluten-​free offerings they have to offer within the store!
In addition to having a great gluten-​free section, they also do a great job of catering to those people who like to eat organic food as well.
Heinen’s also has an awesome produce section. They always have a large selection of fruits and vegetables. I like the fact that they have a lot of different types of produce that regular grocery stores do not have.
The deli, meat and seafood departments at Heinen’s are top-​notch! All of their products are always very fresh and tasty! In addition to these sections they also have an awesome selection of ready-​made dinners, soups and salads for you to take home and enjoy!
Heinen’s can be a little bit on the pricey side, but if you are careful and buy the sale items and use coupons it shouldn’t set you back too much.
If you haven’t been to Heinen’s I would highly recommend that you do! You will not be let down!

THE UP-​SIDE: Heinen’s Supermarkets have always been a step above the rest. This location is no exception.
Having recently been forced to go gluten-​free, Heinen’s has been a godsend. First off, they have a nice section featuring gluten-​free items. The offerings are all quality stuff — good tasting and made to the standards I need to stay healthy.
Secondly, throughout the entire store, there are little pop-​out signs that denote certified gluten-​free offerings. So, as you’re breezing down an aisle — say, chip and pretzel area — tiny signs jump out at you and say, «Hey, you! Gluten Boy! No need to be sad you can’t eat all this junk! We’ve got a ton of stuff right down here made gluten-​free!» This sort of attention to getting my attention makes going gluten-​free a lot easier than it might be otherwise.
Third, this location will actually give you a tour of their store and point out how to best shop there and be gluten-​free. Win!
Fourth, the freezer section has much gluten-​free food, and offers the one and only tasty gluten-​free bread — «Udi’s.» Thank god for Udi’s Bread. It’s keeping me high in sandwiches. :-)
THE DOWN-​SIDE: None. Zero. Nada.
THE SUM-​IT-​UP: This place rocks.
