Waitrose

I really love this branch! It is big, clean and well organised. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food is always fresh. Yes it is more expensive but ultimately you pay for what you get.

The size, location and the quality of the goods are great but by looking at the staff it’s the worst waitrose I’ve ever been to. I buy there breakfast every single day and there just hasn’t been a day when a member of staff at the checkouts were nice. Rude, disgusted and somewhat angry all the time. Especially the self checkouts and the ones next to them m. Get it sorted out Waitrose, you can do better then that.

This is my favourite Supermarket and one that I actually enjoy using.
All the staff are super helpful and very little seems to upset them, i go every Saturday half an hour after they open and find the incredibly tight Car Park empty!
The free coffees and Newspapers are an essential part of my routine and set me up for the weekend.
Absolutely love the fact that they have used the old John Barnes building to such good effect and not demolished it and constructed a Food Hall like so many other company’s would have done.
It must be an Urban Myth that Waitrose are expensive as I am able to shop and feel like I haven’t been cheated out of my hard earned pennies.
It is really a Superb corner store and long may it continue.

It has the best food you can eat, we have tried M&S, Tesco, ASDA and everything in between, Waitrose Canary Warf and this outlet is outstanding.

I went to this store daily during 2012 – 2013 as I could walk here easily. Its a great store with very high quality products. The prices are above average.
I especially love their specialty, limited-​release vegetables like the purple carrots.
The main negatives for me is all the baby trams and the narrow aisles as well as not having the free coffee for Waitrose cardholders like most of their other stores. This place gets super busy especially during peak hours.

I’ve visited this branch of Waitrose on about three occasions now whilst visiting a friend who lives nearby.
Although I’ve only ever bought a few items each time and used the basket only tills near the door, I felt I had to review them as the customer service is impeccable! The staff are so friendly, polite and helpful and seem like they really enjoy their jobs and helping customers out which is fantastic when you’re on the receiving end of such service!
The store is located next to the Finchley Road station and there are numerous buses that lined the route too.
Highly recommend.

This is my local supermarket and I find myself shopping here every other day. It is pretty good, although does not compare to the Waitrose in Canary Wharf which is a next level up. Quality of products is just as good but here store layout could be improved and the various sections should store more products. Car park is awful, very tight to drive around it, you have to be very careful not to scratch your car on the pillars. Also queue at the tills on you right as you enter the store is always ridiculously long and does not move fast enough especially at peak hours.

I love Waitrose even more than I love Trader Joe’s and I know that saying a lot. I must admit, I did work for Trader Joe’s and seeing the waste and at times inconsiderate staff and managers pushing people to work to the point of injury got to me with TJs.
Besides the rant, I really appreciate that people at the registers at Waitrose are encouraged to sit and customers, even the poshest in Hampstead, are encouraged to do their own bagging.
I love the fresh, good, locally sourced produce and yes I know the prices here make Whole Foods (at home) seem cheap and cheerful but the quality is stellar. From the Hollandaise to Heirloom Purple Carrots, I’ve never had anything I didn’t like that wasn’t great quality. I unfortunately can’t say the same for Sainsburys down the road and definitely not with the imitation produce I’ve purchased from Morrison’s.
Waitrose, you’ll always be my favourite English Grocer. Beware of the store during rush hour though, it’s more mental than the tube!

As this is the closest Waitrose to Hampstead, this is the one we use (wish they would open a mini Waitrose in Hampstead proper and close down the useless Tesco). This location has a wonderful cheese counter and meat counter. They also have rotiserrie chickens which are great to grab on the way home if you don’t feel like cooking. The vegetables are also top quality. Whilst you can’t find everything here, the selection on the things they do have are top quality. Good selection of spirits but the wine selection is bit small. Also, wouldn’t buy items like kitchen roll or other household items such as that as you can get them cheaper elsewhere. Have always had friendly customer service here.

Has everything you need but the worst car park in London. If you have a vehicle try another supermarket, there’s plenty to choose from. Seafood and meat counter are ok but not great, bakery and deli are quite good. Fruit and veg is ok. Freezer section is very limited.

A pretty good Waitrose, with loads of choice (though more organic fruit and veggies would be nice) it is made even better by having spotted Jude Law shopping here!

Waitrose is the quintessential British grocer, always with local produce and foods. This location is wonderful, as it used to be John Barnes. So the building is massive. The olive bar, bakery, produce departments all are incredible. So many delicious options to choose from.
And the prices are quite reasonable considering most of the fresh goods are grown locally, and if not it is always indicated on the packaging. They often adjust their prices to match Sainsburys as well.
The customer service is also exceptional. Everyone working there is very happy to help. Unlike Sainsburys and Tescos, the people that work there care and will walk you from isle to isle making sure that you find everything you need. There is always someone who is helping in the wine department, and each time I have found them extremely helpful. They always give great recommendations and I am always pleased with what I leave with.
Also, if you visit
there are TONS of amazing recipes that are made easy when you shop in the store. I’ve already made a couple of the veggie recipes, and I was not disappointed. Waitrose, Finchley Road — Hands down my favourite grocery store in London.

I have died and gone to Waitrose heaven! This location used to be the old John Barnes department store and they’ve integrated into the building itself instead of doing a typical modern-​concept store. I read somewhere that they try to cater each Waitrose branch to the local market, and this one has quite a selection to choose from. There’s a large bakery, fish and meat counter and the «time of day» counter that offers up fresh smoothies in the morning and changes to sandwiches and hot items for lunch & dinner.
This has got to be one of the biggest Waitrose shops I’ve been into in London and it definitely makes a grocery shopping experience more pleasant. They even have trolleys you can rent for free to take your load home in! If you’re sick of aisles of screaming babies that seem to plague Tesco & Sainsbury like I am, give this branch a go and you’ll be treated to a much calmer day.
