Dorothy Lane Market

I like shopping at the Springboro location. There is a bakery, deli, seafood and meat department in all of their stores. You can also get a sandwich cooked on the grill, they sell pizzas and other convenient foods that can be warmed up at home. There is a nice wine section, you can sip a glass of wine and relax. The Springboro store has a second floor area where you can take a hot sandwich, pizza or any food item.Store items like the fresh bread can be pricey. The produce is a quality product and you pay for that quality. I still shop here because I find things here that I don't see other places

My rating is actually 2 1/2 stars, but I opted to select the three star optionBeen here a few times with my sister who is brainwashed into loving this place for some reason thinking everything she ever needs for groceries or whatever should come from here I'm a pretty frugal shopper and I know what a premium grocery store is all about and yes, Dorothy Lane market is very nicely adorned inside. Lots of various departments. Plenty of employees check out seems fairly quick and easy but their prices are absolute ridiculous. The salad bar is outrageously priced the meat department for steaks and everything is ridiculously priced. The fish department just looks so so and it's ridiculously priced granted I fished a lot and British Columbia and the West Coast Pacific Northwest so I'm not really into paying $30 for King salmon or sockeye salmon or nearly $40 for halibut. When I saw a rotisserie chicken being sold for $15 and it was probably only a 3 to 3 1/2 pound bird that's when I knew my days of shopping here were over I'll leave it for all the other Pretentious yuppie wanna be's and they can feel glamorous getting dressed up and walking around paying $200 to $300 for a basket of groceries.

Had my great-granddaughters 2nd birthday party in a private room on the mezzanine.Unique upscale grocery store with fresh restaurant style foods prepared in house that you can enjoy on the mezzanine.Bakery goods are amazing, as well as produce selection, deli, butcher shop, and wine selection.

This is one nice market! It's one of the nicest grocery stores that I've ever been in! We bought Chilean sea bass, a bunch of macaroons, brownies, a couple salads - it was all great!I'll be stopping here every time I'm in the area.

I have always enjoyed DLM. I don't go very often anymore, but it's a beautiful market like store. They have a wide-range of food options. I liked that they have a lot of local items. They also work with local, small-businesses to get their products in their store. Service has always been great. Everyone is very kind and helpful. I love that they have a small cafe style place you can get sandwiches, pizzas, and burgers. The food quality is wonderful and they offer a lot of variety. One thing I wish is that their pricing was cheaper. It's a little too high-end for my budget on the regular.

AMAZING!!! 21st birthday cake, wanted a very detailed ribbon look. Sent pictures and they had excellent communication. Didnt see it until the day of pick up and was PRAYING it was going to be perfect and they exceeded expectations. Thank you guys!!!

In terms of upscale groceries, I love DLM because it is a switch up from your classic Whole Foods, Fresh Market etc. They have some unique things I haven't seen elsewhere. I also love that you can eat lunch or dinner here and the upper floor has seating and restrooms so you can even just come, grab a coffee and study if you wanted.For meals you can eat on site they have a bakery, sushi, soup and salad bar, delicatessen, and a veggie bar where you can also get some premade grain bowls. They have a wide selection of cheeses and meats and lots of cutesy gifts as well. They also have a large selection of gourmet chocolate bars. They are known for their killer brownies although I did not try one as they seem like sugar overload to me. I wish they had some vegan or dairy free options in the bakery as well.I was initially stoked they had so many options of cooked sushi as I'm currently pregnant and can't eat raw fish. However, I was pretty disappointed with the two I tried - sweet potato tempura and shrimp tempura. The shrimp was overly sweet and the sweet potato was very mushy with too much green onion. The salad bar however was yummy and the soups also looked delicious.

Love this place but sadly cant afford to do the majority of our grocery shopping here. Krogers and Walmart are more our budget. But we do come here regularly because there are some things you just cant get elsewhere. Plus we have DLM picnics upstairs. We particularly love the lobster sandwiches (lobster rolls). You order it at the grill beside seafood counter ... first u make sure seafood has lobster salad. Personally i think their lobster salad was on par with what we had in Maine. Huge claw meat chunks and knock on wood no shell in it so far. Be sure they include lemons to squeeze on it. Anyway while hubby orders and waits i go grab chips or side items and cold pop. After we pay we go upstairs...they have plastic utilities, napkins, paper plates and salt and pepper. Lots of seating up there. Thry even have an elevator. Lobster is expensive, but this is great quality and convenient. Keep in mind some are allergic. So if you have never had shellfish act immediately if you start feeling off or throat closing up. the old saying ...its to die for shouldnt be taken literally.

Lots of people don't realize that besides the pre-made food items DLM has available in the main case, if you go back to the seafood and meat counters there is a grill where they will prepare pretty much anything from those areas. Tonight we had lobster rolls for about the 3rd time here and we are fans. Turnover time on food is reasonably quick and they will generally give you the tag so that you can finish shopping and cash out, then come back to pickup the food. Their mezzanine dining area is nice and clean and offers some fun people watching opportunities while you eat. Chi the Mazak one also has plasti-ware, napkins and condiments to boot.

DLM deli has got it going on. This is the Cuban Social Club and it is delicious. I have not had a bad sandwich yet. Get sum!
