Donelan's Supermarket - Acton

This is a fairly overpriced market. When ever I go in to grab something and I don't stick to my list I'll end up with a bag or two of groceries for $120.00!! I try avoiding it as much as I can....

This store has changed dramatically since new owners took over from the original family. Prices and so much higher i.e. $2.00 for a gallon of PS water which is ridiculous. Everything has gone up because the new owners have priced all items more, and the quality has gone down. I used to buy fish here and never will again because I don't trust it to be fresh. I don't shop at this store anymore and would rather drive a few extra miles to get reasonable prices and freshness.

Not the place it used to be, have gotten moldy food from here 2 times in the last month. Will not be shopping here anymore, a shame.

Let me set the scene: It was beautiful sunny Wednesday in August around 11:30am. The dining area was completely void of any other patrons allowing me to grab my favorite table for a nice relaxing repast. I asked Bruce to finely craft me a BLT sub with American cheese lightly toasted. One can’t describe the genuine love between a man and a perfectly constructed sandwich. The bread was soft and flaky, the tomatoes were perfectly ripe and the mayo level was spot on. The sandwich was cut in half and as opened up the wrapping I almost started crying as I took my first bite. Time stood still and everything was alright in the world. Donelan’s is a bright shining beacon of hope for BLT lovers. Truly world class.

Three stars for those great chocolate cookies, but every time I get a fresh made sandwich from the deli the bread is stale! I’ve tried three types of bread and all the same- tastes days old. Upgrade your breads and you’ll get five stars.
