Super Fresh

I have had to run in for one or two things lately and it has been like 3 or 4 Friday’s in a row and Honestly the girl who works the self check out on Friday night might as well be a cardboard cutout.
She stands there, does nothing and says nothing — oh, well other than the 2 times I’ve seen her have disagreements with customers. These two interactions are the only ones I’ve ever seen her have, other than wasting time with other employees and ignoring the customers.
Whoever is running this place is doing a wonderful job running it straight into the ground. Bravo.

This has become my backup supermarket next to Acme on Ridge. The other place wins out because it is in walking distance. This place has a better selection and way better bakery items. Friendly but as mention self check out can be a pain at times.

Its a decent grocery store. Regular prices are a little high for some items, but the sales are pretty good. The selection is pretty good and they have been expanding the organic choices a little more recently.
The one thing to check is the expiration date on items that have a short — medium shelf life. This is an issue in many grocery stores, but this one in particular seems to have some issues. For example I once saw a salad dressing that was 3 months expired which is pretty hard to do given the relativity long shelf life of salad dressing.
Overall its a solid grocery store and the employees are always helpful if you have a question.

I like super fresh, the stores are usually clean and the selection is vast. The only issue for me is the prices are on the higher end of the grocery scale but don’t offer the same benefits (like organic or fair trade of TJ or WF) but all in all it’s a good store to frequent and I definitely do that.

The staff here are very friendly, place is extremely clean!!! There are a few British products here, which is nice. Its always stocked up.

Not fresh should be their name. I bought a tootsie roll variety pack. I was surprised when I bit into a few. It had to be at least a year old. Dots and tootsie rolls suck when they’re hard. I returned it with no problem.

This Super fresh is not super or fresh, make sure you check all the dates on your food. They just love to sell molded and expired food. Prices are not very competitive.

My preferred grocery store in Roxborough. The location, large parking lot, and proximity to the wine shop makes it super convenient. The check-​out line can be a bit slow as there are not enough cashiers. They need fresher produce like herbs! Last time there was barely any leafs of cilantro left that did not have black marks on them. And bagels are not as good as Caplan’s. Still a good place for the essentials!

Updating cause now I have had the experience of getting expired dairy, particularly Greek yogurt that was on sale that week. Yuck! Now I’m extra careful about any dairy products here.
Also, again, prices are always insane and I find myself here less and less, willing to put up with the Lord of the Flies Shop Rite lot even for a few things.

I only go there when I’m already in that shopping center and need one item or so. There is usually only 1 checkout open. The produce is very often very old, and sometimes rotting. Quite ironic considering it’s called ‘Superfresh’. Product selection is acceptable, not brilliant. One bright spot is the sushi counter — the staff are friendly and the sushi is great for supermarket sushi.
Although the nearby Shoprite is always super busy and hectic, they have lots of people working the registers, so you end up getting out quicker, and the product selection is even slightly better. Avoid, unless you are desperate.

This grocery store is where I primarily go food shopping and honestly it is simply because I avoid Shoprite (Rox) like the plague during busy times– like weekends and after work. when I’m usually forced to food shop. It is also cheaper than Acme.
I detest busy supermarkets so I go here… that’s the honest truth. I avoid buying produce here, and prefer to go to other small places for that, but everything else is fine. There is a young guy who works here that is very helpful and friendly and always happy… the others, not so much.

While it may be neither exceedingly fresh, nor perhaps super, this store provides an environment leaps and bounds less hectic than ShopRite. This store, as all, has its pros and cons:
commendable traits–
— plenty of parking in a lot that’s not ShopRite’s
— reasonably extensive selection, including some organics
— self-​checkout area is well run and efficient
— decent discounts if you have their coupon card thing
— some of the people who work at the deli are exceptionally nice
less than laudable–
— produce does not always look fresh, and as a result, is sometimes somewhat insipid
— hit or miss when it comes to staff courtesy
— could use more organics and less crap aisles (doritos, etc)
So when you don’t have time to make the trip up to Whole Foods, this is your next best bet.

It’s a grocery store.
I used to go to the one downtown, and that one was a grocery store too. So when I moved to East Falls, I decided to continue giving Superfresh my business, even when I have a vehicle and can easily evade this store. I still went there, even though I stopped visiting the deli counter at the Center City store a long, long time ago.
So this store is marginally better; the deli counter is just as slow. They have a lot to choose from, but things (kale, falafel) are often out of stock and bruised fruit is plentiful. The employees aren’t very happy, and you won’t necessarily have a happy time here getting your necessities.
It’ll suffice, but when you realize you have a vehicle and can go anywhere and decide where to spend your money (prices are a little high)…you might choose a store more along the lines of Wegman’s in KOP.

Skip the fruit/​produce, not the best. Otherwise, decent sales prices and plenty of room to maneuver

This store. Mother of God where to begin… never have I ever been in a store that cares so little for the quality of their food, namely the produce section and dairy.
Yesterday, much to my chagrin, we went to Super Fresh to do some light grocery shopping. I hit up the produce section to grab some blueberries… however, every single cartoon was moldy. Not just a bad blueberry here and there, the whole cartoon was a festering box of nastiness! I tried for broccoli next and every one I picked up was on it’s last legs, turning brown and rubbery.
I gave up and headed to the cheese section where I picked up a wedge of bleu cheese… that was green and white with fuzzy mold again. I tried the dairy section to see if they had any fresher cheese there. After spying a block of montery jack, imagine my horror when I discovered the product inside was no longer cheese! It was a solid block of mold! How could someone miss this??? Honestly, it was a giant green block of frickin’ mold! Oh, and as if it even makes a difference now, the cottage cheese was months expired.
The first time I ever went to that Super Fresh I saw a woman flipping out in the middle of the produce section. Ranting and raving, «EVERYTHING IS FUCKING EXPIRED! I HATE THIS GODDAMNED STORE!!! AAAARGHHH!» I thought she was nuts to lose her mind in the middle of a grocery store like that… until, I BECAME that woman! I stood in the middle of the store and yelled like a lunatic down the aisle at my boyfriend, «WHY DO WE DO THIS TO OURSELVES!?? WHY DO WE SHOP HERE? THIS CHEESE IS A BRICK OF MOLD! WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS STORE!?» I had become that lady and I totally get it now. She was not a crazy! She was right!
Don’t shop here. Save yourselves the mental anguish of having a breakdown in public and just go to Shoprite or, hell, pick food out of the trash. Chances are it will be fresher than ‘Super Fresh’.

The only good thing about this store is the pharmacy, the service in that department is great! Otherwise, this is the worst grocery shopping in Roxborough for the following reasons: SO many of the products on the shelf are expired (especially from dairy dept) its just ridiculous considering the name of the store, the grocery prices are generally much higher that ShopRite or Acme, their reliance on self checkout at night and in the evening makes for a completely miserable experience. I’ll continue to use their pharmacy but thats it!

I put up with Super Fresh and their high prices and crappy vegetables for a while, simply because I liked the fact that it wasn’t crowded. But there’s a reason it’s never crowded.
The prices are higher than the Shop Rite down the street. Any vegetables you buy from them will wilt and rot within a day or two. The shelves are regularly empty. There’s usually only one or two employees in the store it seems, including the cashier, and they’re oblivious (or more likely, overworked, because management never schedules enough people to help). The auto-​checkout machines flat-​out don’t work (making you bag at the very end just slows the entire process down), and when you get a random error, there’s no one there to reset it.
I’ll gladly deal with the crowds and old people blocking the aisles of Shop Rite any day over the Kafka-​esque nightmare that is shopping at Super Fresh.

Pros: Spacious, clean, friendly staff, decent sales every now and then, good selection, gourmet ingredients
Cons: Not always the best prices…
Overall: Pleasant shopping experience

I have to agree with Hilary on this. Not so super and not so fresh. Expired items are a consistant problem and the Prices are some of the highest in the neighborhood. The sales can be ok but that’s true almost anywhere. My personal horror story happened the same day my girlfriend got expired yogurt, I picked up a salad, packed in the «made daily» section not off the salad bar, when I got home I oped it up, went to get silverware to eat and when I sat to eat I saw fruit flies crawling out of the tomato. That turned my stomach a bit. It’s strange those little critters can squeeze out of the tomato without breaking the fruits skin. Anyway I still go here because it’s accross the street, but only for certain sale items. On the positive side the store is clean.

Super Fresh is so fresh and so clean clean, considering the trend among the other grocers on north Ridge Avenue (i.e. Shop Rite, Acme). This is most true in the bread and butter of a grocer: their produce department.
Super Fresh is more expensive, generally speaking, compared to the others, but if you stick to the sales you’re sure to spend similarly buying comparable items.
What’s best is the store’s employment practices. They employ many young people as well as people with disabilities, something I majorly approve of.
…happy shopping!
