Angelo Caputo's Fresh Markets - South Elgin

"Perhaps our favorite grocery store--so many Italian imports that it's hard to count. My (Italian-born) wife adores the in-store made (and cheap!) gelato, sweets (docle?), focaccia, and a myriad of packaged products like Rollinos. The produce section is diverse and of good quality as is the meats and cheeses sections. Yes, it may be a more expensive store here and there....but it's worth it."

"A great Italian, international, and American grocery store. Has all the classic Italian products including some hard to find ones! Also has extensive products catering to a multitude of ethnic tastes from Mexican/Hispanic to Polish/East European to Indian Chinese/East Asian and all in between. Wonderful that they branched out but I hope they always stick to their Italian American roots in appearance, multilingual marketing, and music. The deli is fantastic. The bakery has run of the mill Italian goods but doesn’t seem to have the same community feel and care that smaller Italian pasticcerias do. Still in a pinch it’s a great go to. The bar and cafe is a great addition! The customer service ranges from great to awful so kinda stands at average sometimes I wonder if management is providing the best healthy environment for its employee kinda get angsty vibes from time to time but I guess that’s modern grocery stores still would be nicer to feel more cheer and feel I’m supporting a business that values it’s employees and community. Also has a great selection of organic and health conscious products and produce!"

"I'm blown away. The birthday cake we ordered for Christmas was by far the least expensive, less than half the price quoted by another 1st rate bakery well known in Elgin. It far exceeded our expectations in every way. And the customer service was so OMG. Helpful Why go anywhere else?"

"Second Christmas I made a pre-order from their bakery and they couldn’t even find it. Almost handed me someone else’s order to take. Update your ordering system away from hand written order forms that clearly get easily lost. Ridiculous. Definitely ordering from somewhere else next year."

"BY FAR the best experience at Angelo CAPUTOS. I have been coming to Caputo since childhood my grandma used to bring us here as children. Now they have an open bar and coffee bar and gelato and Café to come sit down and eat and chill with your family while you are shopping in the regular, super market. They even have slot machines and a place to sit down. I love that we’re all of this place and also have homely and welcoming. It made me feel every single person here has a sweet smile on their face. The person that helped me was Daniel P, he gave me samples of the different type of gelatos and also I ended up getting a Frappuccino with cappuccino gelato in it by far amazing taste, so good and so authentic. They also have a really nice meals to go and fresh pizza for big family events. I will def come back here!"
