Stopped in August grocery store for the first time last night and was very impressed. It is located just one block south of the Division blue line stop in the Wicker Park neighborhood. The owners of the place greeted me on arrival and were very helpful in helping me select some items to cook for dinner. They were very personable and friendly, which is a welcome change from other grocery stores. The store had a very european feel to it. The produce, seafood, and meats were first rate, along with the cheese, dried meats, and breads. The seafood was very fresh and they had a large selection. I tried their prepared to-go dinner of the day and it was excellent as well. The store has a little bit of everything you need to make a wonderful dinner, along with all the staples. They also had household items such as detergent and paper towels. I love ""August"" and plan on shopping there more in the future. I am so glad to see a place like this open in the neighborhood. This place is a welcome alternative to the sketchy Jewel two blocks away. I highly recommend this place.
Pros: Everything is Incredibly Fresh, Great Service, Good Selection
