"3"^^ . . . "4"^^ . "3"^^ . "This location is in between a \"meh\", 2 stars and \"A-OK\", 3 stars so I was nice and rounded up. I've been here a handful of times usually because its on the way home from a south Scottsdale/Tempe location and its convenient for me. However, I'm not a big fan of service departments here and thus would not go out of my way to come here. \n\nThe positives? Well, believe it or not, Basha's/AJ's cannoli are my top 2 favorites in the Phoenix area, I know weird, but try them. They are amazing, but make sure you get the ones with the shell just filled with the cream otherwise the shell gets soggy and nobody likes a soggy cannolo, nobody. I also am impressed of their health food selection - its bigger than the closer Safeway and Fry's (but not the epic Fry's on Shea and Tatum). Another positive, especially during the harsh Arizona Summer that lasts from April to September, is the amount of covered parking spots! Another nice additions to this Basha's location that I have never experienced is their Panda Express-esque Chinese food station and a kids daycare environment so that parent's can shop in peace without their kid throwing a temper tantrum since they aren't getting the teenage mutant ninja turtle Mac n cheese they want. Basha's is also locally owned which means its always nice to support.\n\nThe negatives? The deli and bakery counters. Worse-service-ever. Every time I decide to give these departments another try, I end up feeling like a crazy ex girlfriend. I've walked away from the Bakery counter twice after waiting for someone to come help me for 10 minutes; I'll even walk around the perimeter of the counter standing on my tip toes trying to get a glimpse of an employee to flag down. It's like stage 5 clingy status at the Bakery counter. The same thing with the Deli counter - and they even have a service bell to push, but instead of pushing the button once, it takes a minimum, MINIMUM, of three attempts before someone will help you. Yeah, you just channeled your inner crazy ex-girlfriend stalker self, why won't you talk to me?!! Also. one (and the only) time I got Boars Head roast beef and it tasted odd- maybe it was old, I don't know, but I think I finally got the hint that this Basha's Deli counter doesn't want to be boyfriend. Ugh, I'm going to go cry and listen to Alanis Morissette."^^ . "2014-09-30T00:00:00"^^ . "5"^^ . .
