Stelios Sidiroglou-Douskos: Great place!

RM Fouche: Great selection!

Jerry Britto: truly an institution. anything you can imagine just might be found at pemberton farms

Katie Lavery: A bit pricey, but that’s to be expected as many products are imported or speciality items. Good selection of imported cheese and meat, this will be my go to if the jamón craving hits. Prepared foods and sandwiches are yummy too!

Jennifer Liang: Great grocery store around the area! Lots of options for bakery and deli items

Kathleen Byrne: They lost me today. I went in to buy rice krispies for a snow day activity for my kids. A family size box was $9.99. The same box at target is $4.79. I know shopping local will be more expensive, but that mark-up is more than what I am willing to pay.

V.S.: My go-to place for wide variety of healthy foods and spirits. Nice selection of meats, cheeses, and wine. Friendly and kind staff. They make the best ham & cheese croissants in their bakery section. Produce could be fresher, but no complains otherwise!

Alejandra Rodriguez: today (3/12/23) my partner and I went to get some groceries. We both has face masks on. We got two bottles of wine and got carded by the cashier. The cashier barely glanced at mine, but took my partner’s ID and put it in a machine. The cashier kept staring daggers at my partner. My partner was wearing makeup. On their ID my partner has a beard and says they’re male. The cashier kept staring and wouldn’t complete our transaction and called a manager. I askedthe cashier if my ID needed to be scanned as well. The cashier just said no. The manager asked my partner to pull down their mask and gave a thumbs up. This was humiliating. The manager did not apologize. The cashier barely whispered a “sorry about that.” I don’t think we’ll ever shop at Pemberton again

C P: Shop local when possible. Also had a really great beer section!

Ryan Lothian: Expensive

R Smith: Not cheap but super cute...did I mention it's not cheap?

Duke Briscoe: Quality selection of fruit and produce, bread, cheeses, other specialty foods. Organic choices. Good prepared foods, cakes, deli. Overall one of my favorite stores. Nice staff.

Bernie Pucker: Will return soon. Excellent selection and good prices. Accommodating.

Akash Srivastava: Had ruben from their deli, it was great!

Tina Lieu: Since Pemberton enlarged and renovated it's grocery, I no longer go to Whole Foods. The produce is good quality and variety with lots of interesting canned/jar speciality foods from different cuisines, a wine shop, cheese section and all the usual grocery needs, but also unusual offerings like preserved lemons and other Middle Eastern items. The shelves are packed like a NYC bodega!

Shiva Khanal: Met several very kind and helpful people selling great farm products.

Aili Jin: This place is very conveniently located, and the 24-hour opening time can be lifesaver sometimes. They have a good variety of products, and we especially go there to get vegetarian stuff. It's not the cheapest place to get groceries, so it's not our regular store, but we shop there frequently for specific items or when it's on our way somewhere.

Mike Powers: Good selection, little expensive

Nancy Fernandes: it's very expensive. Not a great trip.

Kira Pilat: What a wonderful grocery store! I especially want to thank the very talented artiste Manuela in the Bakery department who created my beautiful birthday cake!

Paula Frye: I enjoy shopping at the STAR MARKET in Porter Sq Cambridge. It's cleaner, prices are lower, and employees are nicer

super sonic soul supreme: Good range of products

Thomas Farrell: Star has ok selection. Prices are higher than other nearby supermarkets.

Erin Kayata: They've done a lot to improve their pickup service and it works like a charm now!

JP Shero: I really do appreciate that they open until midnight, not just 11 pm or even 10 pm like the other Star Markets.And I like the store overall, and most or all employees I've encountered at night in past year or so seem nice.

Wanda Sanchez: It was my pleasure working at your store. Most of all, I enjoyed assisting the customers without prejudice or competition. Being that customers is your business. I respect them and my mission is to assist the customer other than just a paycheck. I have happily worked here in the middle of obstacles, stalkers, and other drastic cases. But I as a business student, having the passion for it got to this job while attempting to work with myself and losses. It always nice to ask about people's issues, causes if they know and solution for a descent conversation. Speculating and carrying on makes it immature and disrupting for those who has needs and wants likewise you. Want to say to every Good customers that it was my pleasure working with you. Where there is a joy that a door shuts on you. Another open and with drug test. Wish every respectful customer the best of all. The ones who hand me pashmina scarves, those who persist on tipping me and did. I happily shared with baggers. And then co-workers who never had a problem that I work there. Made enough fund to start a business if I had no crazy expenses. Always remember. Got to move on. Get ready for my things to do list and new job. My original sentiments

Richard Guinn: I enjoy this store.

R Fox: Great fresh variety of foods

Karen Aldred: Always HSS what I'm looking for. Produced dept. always has fresh food and store is very clean

Doug R: Not cheap but ADA friendly & free parking.

ernani delfino: Perfeito

manik kawsar: Good place to buy groceries, but they are slow in billing.

Barış Bilgi: Nice market

Gloria Ha: Star Market and I have a long history together. One of my greatest regrets from my first year living in Cambridge was that I didn't have the Star Market app. I could have been saving so much money! I could have known when the shrimp sales would happen instead of checking in person every day! But hindsight is 20/20, and I'm happy to be a loyal user of the app today.Yes, Star Market is on the more expensive side for most things. I will usually go elsewhere (Trader Joe's, Costco, Hmart Burlington) for necessities that are overpriced at Star Market. BUT their weekly ads and app-exclusive deals can be amazing, and you can get ridiculously cheap or free things. 25 cent 5lb bag of potatoes or pack of blueberries? Free kimchi with the Saturday Sampler? 67c/lb stone fruits?Whenever something I want is on sale (or free) at Star Market, I stock up. Especially during shrimp sales (it goes down to $4.97/lb, so I wait for that). And there's usually at least one good deal in produce so we're never lacking.So yeah, Star Market is expensive if you're not using the app and buying everything from there. But if you use the app to plan out exactly what great deals you'll take advantage of, it can really enhance your food supply.This location itself is spacious and nice, and I've always had a good experience interacting with employees. I always use self-checkout which works just fine. I would also recommend going earlier in the day for produce (especially if it's on sale), because usually at the end of the day only the beat up stuff is left (I'm looking at you, jalapenos).

John Correia: It's good because it's close to my house

omar bensaid: Awesome management, and awesome customer service staff and, yummy healthy food very well displayed and easy to locate for new customers.

Adam Bottis: This is a great store

Jessica: Star market is a very clean friendly very convenient supermarket

Han: The drive up service is extremely convenient and fairly priced.

Neil Judell: We go here for the commodity staples of life: toilet paper, paper towels, bleach, detergent, etc. There are so many, many better choices for things like bread, meat, fish, fruit and vegetables

Edward J: Great variety! Love the staff there!

Yvonne Raia: Well stocked, clean store with lots of parking.

Mr. Maurice Evans Jones: I went to this location and the toilet overflow into the main shopping area. You couldn't walk anywhere. A nightmare

Iris Geller: Very nice supermarket. Very well stocked. Even a good amount of health food products.

Jocelynn Holland: So I ordered from the app store market and I said 2:00 to 6:00 it is now an hour and a half late I called them up three times in the first two times they put me on hold for 30 minutes to an hour.... The second time when the manager finally picked up I asked him where my order was and he said no one ever picked it up well if no one ever picked it up why didn't you call me or call the company to find out why that's not happening I called them and I live chat and said where is my order and they said that to deliver is going to be on its way find out they never picked it up.... I had to run down to the convenience store just to buy mac and cheese so my kid could eat tonight cuz this groceries for tonight.... I don't suggest anyone ordering from the app... And I think this is the last time I'm going to shop at Star market because I've always had problems with them the one in Porter the seafood guy is extremely rude and doesn't care about cross-contamination.... If my order does not come in tonight's then I'm going to call corporate and talk to them to get my refund my full refund and I'm going to take my business elsewhere to whole foods or stop & shop....

Ron Trial: Good selections moderate prices.

Lorraine Magarian: Easy to find items - comfortable atmosphere - lighting is shopper-friendly. Prices are a bit high, but the location is very convenient.

Richard LaTores: Too expensive

George Torres: The manager was rude and unhelpful.

Adam West: Absolutely some of the worst store management I've experienced in the area. No one ever knows what's going on when you ask for help, the produce is often way past it's prime and prices are not competitive. Recommend you find an alternative whenever you can.

Tayo spoonzess: Good prices

Dylan Callahan: Overall pretty expensive, but I love that they stay open till 2300.

Nicolas Rios: Una tienda con excelente servicio y buenas ofertas

Luis Cruz: Mucha variedad

Gary Luongo: Cashier Check out person David and Emelia are Always Positive, Friendly and Professional. Sincerely, Gary 😀

Timothy Nelson: Prices are out of control here, nothing is ever put away, and there’s random displays in the middle of already narrow aisles. Only go here when I have to.

John Gallagher: Great selection of trees, easy parking across the street in a dedicated lot. Very helpful and informative staff! Will be back next year.

Gabriella McLellan: Very happy with my experience! Friendly and helpful, helped me find a gorgeous tree as a first time buyer. They did give it a fresh cut and tied it to the roof of my car. Parking was easy across the street.

Lael Stanczak: For the second year running, our tree is amazing (full, symmetrical, fragrant, accepting water) and we have no plans to stop coming any time soon. They are knowledgeable, honest, eager to ensure buyers are satisfied with their choice, and very helpful after checkout moving the tree to your vehicle. I understand why this is a 50+ year institution. I found them on Google and I hope you do too. This year the second tree they showed us was the winner and, as it is now decorated, it is clear that we made the right choice on the tree and on Boston Christmas Trees.

A C: Employees are friendly and helpful, but the trees are simply top notch. They’re fresh from the farm (not sitting around for 1+ weeks before thanksgiving) and they’re always beautiful. I’ve purchased trees several years in a row now. This year I moved out of Boston but ended up coming back because the tree lots near my house all had thin cachectic looking trees. Anyway, this year was fast and simple. I told the employee the height and type (Frazier vs Douglas), he pulled out a tree and it was already perfect. No missing spots, full of healthy needles/limbs, came with fresh snow to boot (yep, they were unloading the truck from up north right before I got there). He bundled it up, took off the end of the stump, and had it tied to my car in less than 10 minutes. Prices are also very competitive, but it’s cash only. Free parking across the street too.

Mark Koeck: Super friendly and super fresh. Best place I've been to in Boston for trees in my 23 years of living here.

Virginia Lara Perez: What a wonderful place! It is a genuine experience. Love the fact fathers and sons work together in delivering so many smiles for the holidays. Tyler is absolutely wonderful, second year buying there and don’t want to go anywhere else. Thank you!!!

Kendall Hyyti: Beautiful trees and the staff is amazing! Everyone was very helpful and polite.

Daniela Larios: Excellent selection of trees. Attentive staff. Rutilio was courteous and helpful.

Thomas Carrigg: Great friendly service last night. We purchased a very full smaller tree. You do need cash. We will be back next year.

Ari C: Overall, an amazing locally-owned business. Never had a problem in person. However, 9 out of 10 times they are rude when answering the phone and often hang up intentionally. Having an attitude when I simply called and asked how much a 7 ft balsam would be is completely uncalled for. Beware.

Alcira Rodriguez: Amazing place. Selection is outstanding and compared to other places they have many of them open up so you can choose and see how it would look at home. The people are super friendly. It is a family business so everyone is there to help rather than get you out the door. So happy with our tree. Will be back here next year !

Daniel Lichi: First year buying a tree in Boston and found this really nice place called Boston. The owner (Lenny) has been doing this for 5 decades!! Good price, great trees, and amazing service.

Indira Ranaweera: We had a lovely time getting ourChristmas tree here! Kyle took great care of us—he helped us find two perfectChristmas trees, strapped them to the car, and was so kind throughout. Remember to bring cash!!

Dan Reagan: These are the nicest guys with the most Christmas spirit, which is perhaps the best part of the experience. In terms of the trees, they are always healthy and look great after the limbs fully fall. Great place to start a family tradition or go with your significant other.

Bryan Roy: The best

Wally Orechia: What an unbelievable experience it is going there. You walk into a small lot but it's filled with all these beautiful trees . Family own business been there since 1969 . You couldn't ask for a better group of people to have help you. They're always willing to provide the best quality and do it with a smile. Love going there. Wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't. Just purchased 6 trees from them...friends wanted trees for great value and that last..wouldn't go any other place definitely the best around!

Joy Franco: What a great place! It’s a small lot but it’s such a convenient location and still has plenty of options. The workers are so kind, friendly, and helpful. I think the prices are also very competitive (trees are just expensive). So happy with my 7’ beauty and very grateful the guy helping me did a fantastic job of securing it to the roof. Made it home no problem.Also I think the live garland and wreaths are 100% worth the money. They’re just gorgeous and smell delightful.

Michelle Amazeen: Thrilled with our beautiful Fraser fir delivered by Boston Christmas Trees! I expected to receive a mediocre tree, at best, since we were not able to pick out our own tree this year. They delivered a gorgeous, full tree that looks and smells wonderful. Thank you and Merry Christmas to the whole team at Boston Christmas Trees!!!

M G: Friendly people, and great smelling trees. We bought a strand of very nice garland after searching for a nice thick garland strand other places with no luck. Just fyi cash only.

Norma: Awesome customer service and trees are so beautiful and big. Love it!!!
