Donelan's Supermarket - Acton

Not the place it used to be, have gotten moldy food from here 2 times in the last month. Will not be shopping here anymore, a shame.

Let me set the scene: It was beautiful sunny Wednesday in August around 11:30am. The dining area was completely void of any other patrons allowing me to grab my favorite table for a nice relaxing repast. I asked Bruce to finely craft me a BLT sub with American cheese lightly toasted. One can’t describe the genuine love between a man and a perfectly constructed sandwich. The bread was soft and flaky, the tomatoes were perfectly ripe and the mayo level was spot on. The sandwich was cut in half and as opened up the wrapping I almost started crying as I took my first bite. Time stood still and everything was alright in the world. Donelan’s is a bright shining beacon of hope for BLT lovers. Truly world class.

Three stars for those great chocolate cookies, but every time I get a fresh made sandwich from the deli the bread is stale! I’ve tried three types of bread and all the same- tastes days old. Upgrade your breads and you’ll get five stars.

I went there years ago when I first moved to Acton. There was a guy at the deli slicing meat and cheese with no gloves on. He said they ran out ??!! . I worked at a deli for 20 years and we had to change gloves multiple times an hour and there were specific rules about when to change them after handling certain products. And this guy tells me they ran out of gloves?! Why wasn’t the department closed until they could get more?! So gross! I will never be back there.

Beautiful ambiance and great staff. you can buy anything under one roof.
