Publix

I was looking for a custom made cake for my boyfriend’s graduation from the police academy and was being quoted over $ 250, so I happened to walk into the Nova Publix in Davie, FL and spoke with the manager about a custom made cake. She told me to speak with her assistant manager. I could not get a hold of this amazingly talented woman until the day before I needed the cake. When I went in, she was hesitant to take on the cake because it was literally less than 24 hours before I needed it. I gave her puppy eyes and she was like «I’ll do it!!» and I literally hugged her and thanked her 1,000,000 times. the price was much less, too! I did NOT think she was going to make me the most perfect amazing cake I have ever seen in such short notice for the most important moment in my boyfriend’s life. I am forever grateful for her and continue to smile and wave hello as I see her on my weekly visits to Publix. She is a life saver and someone we will appreciate forever!

There is never a time I walk out of this public without someone saying «hello» to me. Even though I feel I can get my produce for a little less money somewhere else I continue to shop here becuase of the wonderful service I receive. This place is always clean and i know the produce is always fresh. I came in the other day to pick up some salmon, cooked it the same day and it was absolutely delicious. Very very fresh!

Eric from deli was great. My sister and I wanted poppy seed muffins and even though it wasn’t on display, he went out of his way to find some in the back storage cooler. We were very pleased! It’s customer service like that, that needs to be recognized and rewarded! Thanks again Eric!

I have 3 publix at exactly the same distance from my house and I always choose this one! The employees are SO nice and helpful! Everything is very organized and clean! This review is mainly to express how thankful I am. Last night I left my wallet inside one of the carts in the parking lot and I noticed I was missing it today at noon. I went in and they had it with not 1 thing missing from it! I had all my CC and about 10 gift cards. I asked who found it but they had no idea since they did not work the night before. I hope this gets to the person who found out. I really appreciate your honesty and integrity! God bless you!

By far the most unorganized Publix I have ever been to, small or not, products are all over the place. On top of that the workers are unfriendly and incompetent especially in the deli. The woman making my wrap was chewing gum also didn’t listen to what I wanted and the one next to her (her manager) had her name tag upside down. At the register your lucky to have the cashier even say a word to you. «Publix where shopping is a pleasure» not this one, steer clear. There’s a much nicer one 3 mins away.

This is not my favorite Publix but it is the one I frequent the most often. You have to take it for what it is. Yes it is smaller and no it doesn’t have all the selection of many other Publix. I would not recommend doing big grocery trips here but this place is perfect to pick up a few odds and ends to put together a meal.
The main advantage of this Publix is convenience. You don’t have to deal with the heavy traffic of University, and this one is much easier to get in and out of than the ones on university. I rarely have to wait in line at all and even the non-​express lanes are effectively express lanes because almost nobody buys large amounts of groceries here.
The staff here is amazing. Way better than the staff at the other Publix locations (not that the others are bad, these guys are just great). They create a very friendly neighborhood market vibe that is somewhat reminiscent of a bygone era. Pretty much every cashier will go out of their way to make pleasant conversation while they ring you out and congratulate you on whatever great BOGOs you get.
Quick tip: The fried chicken here is markedly better than it is at the other 2 Publix in the area. Get some.

This is definitely one of the smaller Publixes in the area, but there is one on every corner. I usually tend to shop mostly at SuperTarget for large grocery hauls since I can get all my groceries and home stuff in one trip. However, when I only need a few things, I come here seeing as it’s right down the street. There’s something about his store that makes you walk in looking for 3 things and you walk out with a full cart.
I guess it’s the service they provide which is the difference. I really see it in the cash register line (I never have to bag my own stuff, and they don’t put soda bottles with eggs like some places) and the management. Since this is a smaller store, I inquired about a particular product I had purchased at another Publix I didn’t see on the shelf. The manager informed me that since another Publix had it, they could start carrying it. Just per my request. Wow-that’s pretty bitchin customer service.
I also notice that there’s always someone to help you out to your car if you want (I never need it) and they will take the carts back to the store for you. Details like that make a difference. People will complain of the deli line-​at noon on a weekday when everybody wants one of their famous subs. You have to expect that. This is a great little store.

Small location, but they carry everything you need to make dinner. Not a gourmet dinner, but dinner. There are larger locations within a couple miles away, as well as Costco and Whole Foods. You can do your weekly shopping here, but make sure you don’t run into someone in those tiny lanes!

This is probably the smallest Publix I’ve been to.
They don’t have some «rarer» items that I’ve been able to find in other Publix.
Trying to find ponzu sauce, nope.
Firm tofu? nope.
Ground pork? nope.
Green tea flavored ginger ale? nope.
I think this Publix hates me or something, but at least it’s clean.
