Foodstuffs Gourmet Foods & Catering

Many options to choose from. Nice people working there too 👍
They have inside and outdoor sitting when it is nice outside.

REVIEW UPDATE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kudos to Jay Liberman, President of Foodstuffs, Inc (Evanston location) for his thoughtful and immediate response to my post. Jay and I spoke by phone about my experience. He heard me and authenticity cares and values customer satisfaction. He generously made right what was an unsatisfactory situation.
I returned yesterday for my weekly shopping and all went quite well. Every food item was superb⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I asked for you, Jay, but you were off sight.

Usually, over the years my experience at Foodstuffs in Evanston is a positive one. However, yesterday was a great disappointment for a number of reasons.
1. The edamame, feta, cranberry and chickpea salad was awful. The chickpeas tasted like the aluminum can that it came in. And, there was no edamame in the dish as advertised. I could not eat it. Next time, soak dried chickpeas overnight, then, cook them in a pressure cooker. It ‘s quick and will taste a lot better. followed the recipe so you don’t leave out an ingredient.
2. The zucchini lasagna was tasteless. It lacked salt and other flavors you would expect in a lasagna. I could not eat it.
3. The Panini sandwich with turkey, cranberry sauce, and brie cheese Is my favorite sandwich that I frequently purchase. However, at the checkout register, I noticed the sandwich bread— a croissant, (because they were out of the regular bread used to make the sandwich) was burned. I mentioned to the lady behind the register that I will not pay for a burned sandwich. She commented the panini press was probably too hot.” Duh…She did not offer to have the sandwich remade. Before I left, I asked for a croissant so I can remake the sandwich at home. It wasn’t the same because I did not have a Panini press. It just didn’t taste the same. I spent a lot of money on poorly prepared and inedible food. Foodstuffs you didn’t deliver this time. I’ll order from a restaurant next time.

They have the best tuna I’ve ever had. One of my favorite lunches is their tuna melt with avocado on a croissant. I also love their dips and crackers and really appreciate their free samples!

Amazing tuna - I’ve tried maybe 100 tunas at this point and Courtney’s tuna at foodstuff is the best I’ve ever had. Their dips are great too!!

Bad customer service from the caucasian American teenager at the register! Have the same level of customer service for all people! Who ever raised him did a piss poor job!

Extremely over-priced repackaged foods.

Seems to be good quality stuff, but everything seems overpriced.

Small poke bowl is $14!!! And had maybe two ounces of salmon. Essentially all rice and veg.

Amazing!!!!! Foodstuff is super if you need to impress your friends, boss or clients with outstanding quality of food.

Nice small store serving gourmet cookies and snacks. Quite expensive, but worth it.

Amazing cookies!

Great food and amazing service! I was with my mom for some mother-son bonding time and she kindly offered to buy me a treat. She said Foodstuffs has the best sweets, and she was right!
I was unaware of the time, or Foodstuffs' hours, but we must have walked in right as they were about to close. Unfortunately I did NOT pick up on any of the gentle cues we give customers when we're trying to close the store where I work (I'm so sorry!). But everyone there was still extremely kind and patient as my oblivious self took my time picking something out. The mini fudge stuffed chocolate chip cookies are simply divine! Thank you for bearing with us. Next time we'll be sure to check the hours and the time!!

A great place to buy prepared foods from the best tuna salad to delicious cooked salmon to custom salads. They make delicious sandwiches, have a wide variety of soups, and offer all sorts of upscale snacks and goodies. I highly recommend!

A bit overpriced for their sandwiches. Workers there are very friendly and helpful though. Good place to stop for a quick lunch.

Packed, tight space, beautifully presented. Hand tossed hand selected salad, hand chopped fabulous salad. There is a very specific awkward flow-but it works, just not intuitive. But tasty salad.

Great place for gourmet foods with a continuously changing menu. One of the best places on the north shore for reserving and picking up Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinners.
