"After our second year shopping here we are unfortunately done giving this store our money until they are able to solve some glaring issues. The pros: The bakery - great selection of fresh breads, fresh donuts and bagels, and beautiful disgustingly sweet cakes and cookies if you're into that They have beautiful floral arrangments and some nice seasonal houseplants The produce - can be hit or miss, but they generally have a good selection of seasonal produce. Be careful with their berries and avocados. They sometimes carry some exceptional brands of clementines and cherries depending on the season, and often carry good local produce. We have never had a bad experience with a staff member. Most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. The cons: The fish department is not great. Mostly farmed fish from sketchy countries, and it has always had a strong fish smell so we stopped buying awhile ago, especially not worth it how expensive it is. The meat department is almost single-handedly the reason why we are no longer shopping here, and why I almost went vegan. 5 times in 5 months we have gotten home from this place, immediately ripped open a package and gotten spoiled meat, even stuff that has a very lenient best by date, has been spoiled. Not sure if they are improperly storing their meats or if they are marking their dates wrong, but it's just blantantly unacceptable. Not only is it a huge waste of time, and throws a big wrench in our dinner plans, but it is also upsetting because of the preventable food waste. This place waits until the last day to mark down their food. Literally. The day it should be used by or sold by, it finally gets marked down. If you buy it, it is always 100% bad, if you don't buy it, it goes in the dumpster. This is the case with prepackaged foods, meats, perishables, etc. Animals live in horrible conditions just to end up in the garbage. Shame on this place. This is one of the few places in pittsfield that you can get certified humane meats, but whats the point when meat just ends up in the trash anyway??? Whoever is in charge of the meat department should be thrown out themselves."

"I can’t even put into words how satisfied I was with Chelsea the florist at Market 32z I had a vision, met with her, and the surprise on my wedding day was PERFECT. She set everything up, and prepared it all even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Chelsea is flexible, accommodating, affordable and AMAZING. I won’t go anywhere else and will continue to send future brides her way!"

"They have a huge selection and very friendly helpful staff. Excellent experience- and kudos to the helpful woman who custom made us 4 salads for gluten free guests. Highly recommend"

"Terrible experience. Almost entire produce section is out of stock of essential items. No bananas. No strawberries. No raspberries. Disgusting and dirty empty shelves. Self check out machines are tiny - about the size of two milk gallons with no separation space for social distancing. There were teenage and college-aged individuals playing with produce bag balloons with no masks on. Customers ignorant to one-way aisles. No staff in sight. Store is almost always overrun and crowded with customers - no doubt over capacity. No electric vehicle charging in the whole plaza. Parking lot riddled with pot holes. I’d rather drive an hour to upstate New York to get groceries."

"Open 24/7. Clean, organised, large sitting area available 24/7. I think it used to be Price chopper when I was here a couple of years ago. Nice interior redesigning. Bathroom could be bigger though."
