Dave’s Marketplace

Awesome products and nice staff. Great produce and prepared foods selection. The pizza is good. In the deli they have a roasted turkey breast that they slice. It’s a must try. Their chicken salad is way better than willow tree (it not sweet and it’s always fresh). My husband is addicted to their breaded eggplant. We buy it every week. (Saves us lots of time).
I do not typically buy dog food from the supermarket but Dave’s has a pet specialty selection they carry the brands we feed so when I am in need of food and the pet stores aren’t open I know we can get it from Dave’s.
They have different items than stop and shop and Shaw’s. Without being too exclusive like whole foods.
The worst thing about this location is the plaza. There is only one way in and one way out. But the good news for us is they have a smaller location across from stop and shop that has almost everything that go to Dave’s exclusively for.

I went to Dave’s to grab something to bring to work for lunch. There are so many options to chose from! Tons of pre made meals like pasta dishes, Mac and cheese, turkey & mashed potatoes, sandwiches, salads. It’s kind of overwhelming! I decided to get the shepherds pie.
DELISH.

Don’t you just hate it when you walk into a grocery store… need one specific item. .walk over to where it is and… empty space!!! Well, that won’t happen at Dave’s! The shelves are always stocked… they actually have friendly associates working throughout the store (yes, living, breathing, human beings!) to help if have any questions!
The people in the fresh meat section are terrific! your wish is their command! They bend over backwards to not only get you just what you need but also the way you want it! They are honest when you ask their opinion on certain sausage, meats, etc. and this honesty is what keeps me going back!
The hot prepared foods are second to none. the brick oven pizza is to die for! The deli section has a huge variety of fresh cold cuts and cold prepared foods to warm at home, as well as the usual chicken salad, tuna, etc!
Now to the bakery section! ! ! Every dieter’s nightmare! Huge cupcakes with a mound of frosting on top! Unbelievable pastry and muffins and cakes!
Want to make your own pizza at home… no problem! The selection of refrigerated doughs are plentiful… regular, whole wheat, gluten free. .they have them all!
Need flowers for the table… or a gift… oh yes, they’ve got them. nice and fresh!
Yup, I’ll be back! oh, and no, my dad’s name wasn’t Dave! LOL!

I like Dave’s, depending on what I am looking to buy.
I am closer to the Cumberland location, but I come to this location for one reason: Coffee.
The bf and I really like Mills Coffee, local roasters from Providence.
Dave’s carries their coffee beans.
The Cumberland location has them pre-​packaged and the bags really don’t tell you much other than what flavor is within.
This location however, has them in tubes on a big wall with empty bags for you to fill up yourself that allows you to choose how much coffee you get, and not only that but there are little guides right on each one with that tell you how strong, bold, and aromatic each different variety is, which we love.
They also carry a specific flavor of Grafton cheese here that my boyfriend enjoys, which Whole foods does not even though they carry the brand.
So you really have to figure out what is worth your while here.
I find that most of the produce here is the same stuff you’ll find in other grocery stores. If you really want fresh, you’ve still got to hit up the farmer’s markets.
Their prices are also a tad bit higher for some items than other stores I’ve noticed, like a dollar more for a pack of bottled water, but I suppose that’s no matter for those of you shopping here for convenience.

Must say this small market does well for being so small. It seems as though this market is on the healthier side but pricier than other markets.
This market is SOOOOOO clean, like extremely clean! I have been here numerous times and never saw anything on the floor, or even out of place. The lines are never long and the employees are fast and very caring.
I come here often for the 3.99 a dozen little neck clams, they’re amazing and for the price you can’t beat it. I know I said the employees are nice, but the seafood workers are beyond amazing always smiling and always willing to answer questions and help.
I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a clean environment and a market that they aren’t bumping into rude people the whole time.
