Aj's Fine Foods - Scottsdale

Very clean, fully equipped shelves. I haven't spoken to anyone, so I'm not sure if people are nice there, but they all seemed clean and imaginable

Unfortunately the service at this location has gone downhill over the years. As a military family, it used to be an easy, pleasant experience for me to call this location's bakery to purchase goodies as gifts for my parents, who live nearby and arefrequent customers. It used to be so simple! I choose a dessert. I pay. My parents pick it up. Easy, right? NO! Not anymore!Consider yourself extremely fortunate if you call and are able to speak with someone who doesn't treat you like the villageidiot. The customer service is absolutely atrocious; truly an embarrassment to your entire company. You have lost our loyalbusiness forever.

My husband wanted to get a chocolate muffin for my son since this was the closest store to our house. He saw that there were freshly baked muffins in the bakery, so he asked for one. The woman there told him he could not have any of them because theywere to be sold tomorrow. He was sold the day old muffin, full of crumbs from other cakes it had touched. I told him he shouldhave called the manager, because that is unacceptable. The muffin he brought home was hard a rock, I was trying to scrape offthe gunk because I know my son will freak out if he sees gunk on it. I ended up throwing it away. I guess we will just buy myson chocolate muffins at Sprouts. They will sell you fresh out of the oven muffins without any problem.

The prices on many items, especially food, are a bit high. However, they offer a great selection of international food products, various dining options, and an excellent bakery. While I prefer to do most of my grocery shopping elsewhere, AJs is ideal for a more intimate shopping experience. Just be ready for a crowded atmosphere during the height of snowbird season.

This grocery store is an excellent place to find both hard-to-find items and all the staples you would expect. The produce department is beautifully arranged, and the meat, deli, and bakery sections are impressive as well. Additionally, there's a grill open during lunchtime, serving burgers, sandwiches, and more. The staff is also very helpful, enhancing the overall shopping experience.
