Bazaar West Supermarket

What a great find! This place is amazing and the prices are fantastic. I do all of the food shopping I can there. I highly recommend them.

Love the store!!.We go there every week to buy Russian food, fruits, vegetables. Prices are as everywhere, I would say sometimes even cheaper than at Stop n Shop. Really like their bakery, and before you buy u can try it!!! U get 5% discount if you buy on more than 70 $.Bought old marshmallows and ate one, came to the store and they gave me the new package.(or refund) Didn’t have any problem with that. Staff is always friendly and ready to answer on all ur questions!

A very good salad and Russian ethnic food’s bar. Fresh produce for daily eating. Wines and specialty baked foods. Very worthwhile to check out. Good pricing similar to Trader Joe’s.

Check expiration dates on EVERYTHING
Bread and cakes are often GREEN because there are no expiration dates
I would never buy anything without expiration dates or cooked there.
Fruit is old

This place rules! I was not expecting what I found after driving by it a million times. They have a large produce selection with cheaper prices then any of the surrounding grocery stores (I got a 2lb box of strawberries for $ 3.49!). They specialize in Russian/​Eastern European foods, so bonus for you if that’s your thing. Even if it’s not they have plenty of foods that you’d find at normal grocery stores, but at slightly cheaper prices. They also have a large selection of prepared foods that looked/​smelled delicious.
Oh, and double bonus to them for having organic buckwheat groats at HALF the cost of what the Whole Foods across the street charges. Bam!

If you are like me, you find that fruit and veggies barely last a day in your fridge. This is the perfect market if you eat fruit and veggies daily. With that being said, everything is extremely ripe so it will probably only last you a day, maybe two if you are lucky. BUT, you pay almost half the price of what other markets charge. They also have a great selection of Russian/​European food.

Don’t go there for produce you will be disappointed, but if you looking for russian store it’s actually deliver a solid choice of smoked and salt cured fish, caviar and russian deli cold cuts and cheeses. Service is friendly and attentive.

I can only review their fresh produce because I don’t purchase any of their prepared foods. Fresh produce is generally not the best quality. I doubt they move enough of it to keep it both fresh and reasonably priced. I come here only in a pinch. With Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods and Stop and Shop near by, if fresh produce quality is important to you, you can do better.

This place is AMAZING. I was just in Framingham on business and happened to go into this place while looking for a small grocery store.
I found myself going there instead of to nearby restaurants (even though I can expense everything). The food at the deli is just THAT GOOD!
This place has everything! I wish we had something like this in Colorado. The food is prepared with a lot of love. The counter people are super nice (although they struggle with English just a bit — this is a Russian store).
Surprise them by saying, (Phonetic: «Ya nie gavar you pa rooskie» (I don’t speak Russian :-)
…as if all of this isn’t enough, the prices here are ridiculously low!!!
Wonderful people, great sense of humor, amazing food. Makes me wish I lived in Massachusetts.

Yum Yum Yum, A Russian grocery store in metrowest, similar to Baza in Newton. Extensive produce section, and a reasonable to very good selection of food products from the historical Russian sphere of influence, which now includes Israel.
Bazaar West (Which is really named Fresh Choice Market) also has a deli counter which have which has chilled russian/​central european salads, deli meats and russian cakes. The hot/​cold bar has a rotating selection of entrée’s that you can take home such as sweet and savory blini, cutlets, fried/​stuffed meats etc. The beer wine section is weighted towards eastern European beers, so its good if you like Baltika, or Czech/​German beers.
Perishables are hit or miss, mostly hits though. Also check out the selection of real Shashlik skewers (unlike most kebab skewers these are flat and wide so they hold the meat when you rotate the skewer on the grill) and russian spice mixes. The selection of candies and chocolates (especially stuff from Roshen) is excellent.

Besides the great selection of European food in this store, they have Great chefs!
I had party and my house yesturday, and ordered all food prepared by thier Deli department.
It was awesome, my guests loved everything, thank you guys!

I shop at Bazaar West every week. They have a new food bar (not a salad bar) and it is great to get prepared foods quickly. Typically they have duck legs, chicken dishes, stuffed cabbage, chicken salad and more. Their smoked fish section is the best around. They now have imported beer & wines.

WOW!!! Love this store !!
A huge range of European specialty foods with a dominant Russian flair… boasting everything from smoked cheese & fish, caviar, to chocolates/​candies –coffee/​teas. A truly unique selection of liquors, wines & beers! Great spot to get educated on your Eastern European and Russian Wines! In the center of all the action is a great Salad Bar & Hot take-​out food, and a Bakery

This is in an odd location at Trolly square off route 9 so I don’t make it in as much as I might otherwise, which is a shame since it’s packed with really interesting foods. I’ve read some of the other reviews and some of them are correct, the fruits are sometimes really ripe but great for eating right away and well priced. Vegetables are less expensive than most area grocery stores too, although sometimes some of them look older, no problem for me I just don’t buy things that don’t look fresh– same as I do at any other grocery store.
They also have a huge selection of Russian foods, an olive bar, a large selection of home made salads, prepared foods, pickled foods all sorts of farmers cheeses, smoked mackerel salmon, smelts, home made tortellinis, smoked meats, desserts, candies and tons of stuff I didn’t recognize. Go try something new!

Bazaar is a great place to come to find ethnic Russian and other Eastern European foods. Good selection in a small place and relatively good prices. You could do most, if not all of your regular grocery shopping here and also pick up some great Russian treats!
Of note is their selection of Kefir, Farmers Cheese, fresh foods, candies, kashas, and produce. Don’t go there expecting Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s. Go expecting to smell, taste, and buy the way your babushka (grandmother) would.

Not your typical Supermarket.
Has a nice selection of imported ethnic foods, and a great selection of wine and beer that are typically not offered at your local liquor store. I especially liked the pastry section (the Napoleon cake) is superb. The fruits and vegetables from the produce section are delicious and fresh, while being reasonably priced. I found that the price is cheaper than Shaw’s, Stop and Shop, and much much cheaper than Whole Foods.
If you are feeling like exploring, the meat and seafood section is very appetizing as well. There were various types of smoked meats and a huge selection of different types of smoked fish. They even had black caviar if you are into that sort of thing.
The frozen section has a nice selection of pirogi-​es and raviolis. Anything from meat to cheese to cherries inside.
Every time I come into the store I discover something new.
Overall I give this place an A+.

They refused to take back half rotten cherries I bought there yesterday because I did not have a receipt with me. It is very bad way to treat a loyal customer.

Update.
In general the store is very good with good selection/​service/​prices. The incident I wrote about 8÷8÷13 does not seem to be typical for this store.
I hadn’t had problems with products before my negative review, have not had them since (I shop here at least once a week)

I stumbled upon this hidden gem and was delighted to see fresh, CHEAP produce, delicious homemade items such as pickled tomatoes and vegetables, and tons of exported grocery items. I picked up a jarred Russian zucchini dip and was blown away! Staff was really friendly. This place is jam-​packed and a bit hard to move around, but so worth the small effort.
