You know I come from a place where there exists healthy competition and great grocery stores in both regular and organic markets. I'm convinced competition brings the best quality food and prices to the consumer and I cannot wait until that competition hits little Iowa City. You guys pay an outrageous amount for your fresh fruits, produce and meats and you are really getting substandard quality. I know alot will argue this but it is true! Wake up Iowa City! Bring in some competition and eat better for less. I have never heard of a store that does not offer a savings card. I'm not talking about just gas but actual coupons that ring through when you put that little number in. I hear Hy-Vee offers good benefits to the employee but what about the consumer?! The tides need to turn here a bit so everyone can win. Say not to rotten berries, substandard quality, and high prices!

We worked with the Waterfront Hy-Vee location in Iowa City for our wedding flowers. Leading up to the big day I was very excited about the flowers, as we felt we had a great meeting with Missy regarding our vision and what the plan for flowers and reception decor would be. We were able to stick pretty close to our budget as well. I didn't always get a response to my emails, or it was delayed which was frustrating. On the wedding day the flowers were delivered over an hour late with no explanation. We called three times that day over the course of the hour they were late and were continually told "they would be there soon". The store was approximately 10-15 min away from where our ceremony was held. We received the flowers less than 30 minutes before the ceremony was about to start and we had to rush to set them up in the church and pin them on the tuxedos - all while guests were waiting to be seated. Incredibly unprofessional and it was the only stressful part of our day! The flowers and arrangements themselves were beautiful, so it was a disappointment that the service ended up being sub-par the day of.

Thanks You Missy for taking care of my floral order! Your professionalism was refreshing especially to an out of town person!

This is by far my favorite HyVee. The produce is fresh and they always do a good job of featuring local produce when available. They have a wonderful health food market. The employees are always helpful and they have added products to their shelves upon my request more than once. The vegetable wraps and sushi options are great for a vegan on the go. I love the coffee shop too. They always do their best to accommodate my non dairy requests.

The new store front is very nice. I've always gotten friendly service at this location. They were especially patient during the remodel. Not a bad place to go for flowers if you can't find an open florist. Other than that, it's a grocery store. They do a good job keeping the produce section looking nice. The lanes aren't usually more than two customers deep & the place is open 24 hours. At this location the natural food section is very nice & I swear there's something new there every time I go. Well, maybe not every time, but I end up at the grocery store at least twice a week. This is my favorite area Hy-Vee (before & after the remodel).
