Doris Italian Market & Bakery

This has been my family’s main supermarket ever since I was in middle school. You can’t beat the quality of the food for these prices. My favorite part has always been the bakery. The rainbow cookies are so amazing, and the only good ones I can find in South Florida. The bread is also straight out of Italy, literally amazing. The meat and dessert sections are store made, absolutely delicious. The produce section has very cheap prices and everything is very fresh. The staff is so friendly, nice, and respectful. They go above and beyond in service. They will give you a sample of anything in the store if you are skeptical about a product. The market is very clean and has a great aroma. A little piece of Italy, truly a pleasure shopping at this market.

Great prices and super fresh produce and meat selection! Love this place!!!

Thank God for Doris! Bakery is excellent, cold cuts are delicious and espresso is on target!

Great shopping experience in a clean place with lots of selections. The food they have ready to go /​eat taste like home cooked food and all around its a pleasure to go in and shop.

Their food is fresh and people are awesome!

Weak sauce. If you are from up north, or Italian this place will be a huge let down to you. No great butcher or produce, no fresh pasta, no real wine or cheese room.
Truly unimpressed. But I guess this it what passes for an Italian market in S Florida.

I went here on Friday September 18^th 2015. I got two items from the prepared food counter. A cheese arepa for $ 1.99 and a piece of eggplant parmesan for $ 7.83. The eggplant parmesan looked really good. However when I ate it, it tasted like a bunch of sawdust in my mouth. They used paper thin pieces of eggplant that I could not taste. The cheese arepa had pieces of clear plastic throughout the entire thing. At first I thought it was from them heating it up in the microwave and the cheese got dried out. But after I got home I looked at the many pieces I spit out and confirmed it was pieces of clear plastic. And the eggplant parmesan had a small piece of hard black plastic in it. It is really shocking that their kitchen could be so sloppy. Not to mention that I felt nauseous after eating those things. The bakery item looked really good. I wonder if there’s any plastic in those things!

I love this place and have been coming here since I was a small child. If your looking for quality ingredients, quick pre-​made meals, finger licking good deserts, & a taste of Italy then this is a go-​to for you. They make their buffalo mozzarella in house (its a must try) along with their bread and deserts. Take a bite into any of the above mentioned and you might think the kitchen is staffed completely by Italian grandmothers because the taste is that of a passed down family recipe.
There are a few locations, but I find this one to be my favorite. Its a bit larger that the one in Hollywood and Pembroke Pines. Due to its larger size compared to its sister locations, this has more offerings and the aisles aren’t as narrow.
During this particular visit I sampled the eggplant rollatini from the pre-​made section. Its a thin & long slice of breaded and seasoned eggplant rolled around a generous amount of cheese. I can’t say for certain what type of cheese it was but it tasted like a mix of mozzarella and a goat cheese. Regardless, it was absolutely delicious & I will buy a few the next time I go.
Anything you sample from the bakery will be sure to please, really, anything. Their cannoli’s are especially good. They even offer them chocolate dipped with a optional sprinkle of powdered sugar. So the next time your in the area be sure to stop in.

It’s close to us when we are at my mother’s condo and easy to get great cold cuts or a fast bottle of wine.
Never had a complaint or compliment that was worthy of my time writing … But yet, now I am taking the time.
I bought coffee there yesterday morning. My favorite. Lavazza coffee. Tripped on my flip flops and spilled my coffee. Turned right around and the woman said «oh you are back already?» I said yes and explained I tripped and yet was charged again.
When we are here, multiple times a year for at least a week at a time, we frequent this place when we don’t have time to run to whole foods or publix.
Nothing was great. Nothing was bad. But to not refill a customers coffee free of charge when I clearly couldn’t have drank it in a minute is ridiculous.
I will be in a position to need to go back but will make every effort not to
Bad business and made me take a ride home from an amazing dinner to sit in the passenger seat, ignore my husband and children for 5 minutes that this is so ridiculous.
This is lesson A in a bad business class (did they go to quack USA to learn good business ethics?).
Class title: How to turn a good customer into one who will go out of her way to avoid you. Who will tell many about the event. And who takes precious time to write on Unilocal
PS. Both my husband and I own different companies and while I agree on taking a stand. Seriously. A cup of coffee couldn’t be replaced?

Hi Jacqueline. I’ve tried the bakery many times since, again today but you must still be using the new baker. So much for customers effecting change!
The customer service and meats cannot be beat but I’m going to have to find a new bakery because I’ve been told all your stores baked goods come from the same baker.

Truly Italian in every way. Some really great produce and meats pastas and cheese. Nice people work here and are very service oriented. Ah a breath of fresh air here in SOFLO.

One more reason to miss Florida (there isn’t many) the meats are the best I’ve ever bought anywhere, the fish is the freshest, the bakery the tastiest and their pre-​packaged food is awesome.

First time here and I am part Italian! lol
My mom would love this place, you can tell by the smell when you walk in
this is the real deal
I just had time for an Italian sub sandwich, but it was one of the bset I have had
The seafood, meat and produce all looked awesome, so I will be back soon and write some more
Bakery also looked pretty good
Only missig rum baba!

I spend a fair amount of time at Whole Foods and Publix, but with Italians in town, I started asking some of my friends if there were any Italian markets nearby. Fortunately, one of my friends recommended this little market. From coffee, pasta, sauces and the meat selection, Doris is very good. You can find pretty much everything. However, the only reason I give 4 and not 5 stars is that there are certain things like certain spices, sugar and dairy with limited selection. That being said, who cares! Also, as someone who spends a lot of time in Italy, I absolutely love the slighty old/​rustic feel and the words in both Inglese e Italiano.

For a small market, Doris is my favorite. I most often come here for cannolis, but I’ve also purchased meat and other items in the past. Their staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
There is ample parking, and it is easy to get in and out fast.

The best produce, the best meat and the seafood is awesome. It is hands down better quality and better prices then publix and winn dixie
The butchers are also far superior to Publix. The deli and bakery are worth the nightmare experience in the parking lot.

Picked up a cake and some fennel sausage today — the selection was amazing. This store is beautiful, and even though it was packed, all of the employees were so helpful and friendly.
Both the cake and the sausage were delicious. I love shopping here.

Just having this place close to our home makes me so happy. This is by far the best Market for deli meats, fresh meats, seafood, bakery, fresh pasta, fruits, veggies and so much more. Being raised in Chicago you really take it for granted that there are so many options for specialty markets such as Doris.
The joy that came over me when we drove past the other day and I saw the sign. They have been at this location for five years is what a staff member told me. It is much larger than both other locations. Super clean, so much to choose from. Hubby was interested in checking out the fresh meats, sausages, and fish to do some grilling while of course I walked right over to the wine section.
Just two days prior I had gone to Total wine and stocked up. I know what a good price is for wine and they had so many specials on many fine wines. There was a young gentleman (Nick) who asked me twice if I needed help. When I am in my zone wine shopping I need no help.
So I meet up with hubby and he has some sausages and other items and I had 8 bottles of wine. When we got to the register I thought hmmm, wonder if they offer a case discount on wine? The young lady said yes so I ran over to easily grab four more bottles to get a 10% discount. Again Nick was in the wine section and he laughed watching me quickly grab four awesome bottles of Italian wine. He said ‘You know what you like and you picked some great wines”. He was so sweet he came over and spoke with us at the checkout and asked for my email to sign me up for wine tasting’s and he also mentioned they might put together a wine society. Umm, oh heck yes sign me up!
Service is excellent here! The quality of all the fresh foods, decent prices, and an amazing bakery with some nice looking cakes and specialty items.
This by far is my absolute favorite market. Ciao, see you very soon!

They have a fantastic bakery. Try the chocolate cigars! Chocolate melt away, Danish, etc! Plentiful deli, produce, butcher with chicken, meats and prepared foods. Frozen foods available as well as Italian brands of oils and packaged items.

Fellow foodies take note– an Italian lovers paradise found! Enter to find a clean, bright, well-​organized grocery store with a healthy selection of fruits and veggies. A full meat shop and seafood section along with a seemingly mile-​long selection of deli items, cheese, wine, meatballs, eggplant parm, a handsome spread of ready-​to-​eat sides and salads, soups, a sub menu, and a bakery that will satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth. I ordered a prosciutto sub for lunch with mozzarella, tomato, and sweet peppers and it was delicious along with the cannolis I bought for dessert. Doris spices up my food shopping experience, so i’ll gladly make the trek west to shop this specialty grocer.
