mary hodurMarch 16, 2018Great selection of fresh fruits &vegetables. Organics. Spices. Cheeses. Salad bar. Meats. Coffees. Local baked goods on weekends. Flowers. Great specials... today we got 8lb strawberries for 99¢!
Best prices and freshest organic fruits and vegetables available in Chicago! I spend 1/4 the amount on my groceries here than any other place in the city.
I love Stanley's. If you juice a lot this is the place to go to get cheap fruits and veggies. Sometimes you have to pick through stuff but it is totally worth it.
Amazing selection, exceptional value, low prices. I'm definitely making this a regular stop!
Catherine YoshimuraMarch 1, 2015Stanley allows the Sisters of Notre Dame to sell their French pastries on the weekend! These were the nuns who were featured on the television about surviving the freezing cold. Lemon tarts-beautiful!- Patrick BuggyJune 24, 2016Amazing selection of produce. They also have a cooler of chicken from a regional farm, and a decent deli! Not many packaged goods though.
Paul LimonApril 26, 2016Quick in and quick out for fresh and inexpensive produce. Always have great specials.
French pastries from the sisters of St Roger's Abbey sold here every Saturday and Sunday
- Timothy MadsenMarch 17, 2014It was a great place to shop. Calm but crowded for a Sunday. Stanley's Deli in back. Fruits & veggies for awesome prices!! Some items a bit more but not outrageous.
KfunkyNovember 22, 2012Mike was really helpful. We were looking for the perfect pumpkin for my fondue pumpkin and Mike grabbed one and weighed it for us. What a guy!
Holy moly, the homemade guacamole! Other goodies (besides produce, duh): olive oil, roasted peanuts and sunflower seeds.
Rosa LopezDecember 1, 2012Been coming here since a baby and I'm still coming in and will continue too they have awesome fresh produce at great prices
If you're not looking for organic produce, make sure you double check what you're picking up. The stuff nearest the door is organic.
Lisa WJune 18, 2012Best place to buy produce if you are going to juice it. Some of the stuff doesn't last long, but it's crazy cheap!
Dulce VillarrealDecember 18, 2016This place is amazing to buy fruit and vegetables. It's really cheap.- Hillman PhilistiaFebruary 6, 2015Start from opposite side, the left, pick up the organic produce first then get the rest.
Time Out ChicagoMay 23, 2012Anybody who says it's expensive to eat organic has never been to Stanley's. This market is crazy cheap—typical finds include a pound of organic carrots for a buck. -RW Read more- Time Out ChicagoJune 4, 2012Anybody who says it's expensive to eat organic has never been to Stanley's.

My #manfriend was shocked to get all of his produce for $56 after guessing he'd spend $100+
Most awesome fruit and veggie place, and easy to bike to on Elston.
Great deals on produce ... but make sure you eat it fast.
Always busy and parking can be difficult. But worth it for the cheep prices!
It's best to visit first thing in the morning right when they get the shipments. Also, its way less crowded.- Best potato chips in the world are made onsite here. Jiminy Chips.
Ashley strahanJuly 10, 2012Fresh organic produce at an affordable price. I feel like I just found a gold mine.
Maria SabatiniMarch 14, 2012you cannot beat these fresh fruits & veggies especially at this low price
Richard StilesOctober 28, 2012Produce is generally very ripe, so consume within a day or so. Avoid the urge to stock up.
Fresh fruits and veggies, about 1/3 of which are organic. The prices CANNOT be beat and the in-store music is solid. Can be crazy crowded on weekend days.
Amanda SchulzeSeptember 16, 2010Love this place for apples berries and yogurt. Not a complete grocery store.
