Welcome to our next location of Bazaar Supermarkets, whose Newton and Brookline locations we've checked out previously. The Eastern European stores have imported groceries, delis, bakeries, and prepared foods, and this 7,000 square foot location is smaller than the Newton store but a bit bigger than Brookline.

This store has an entrance on either side, one facing the parking lot in the back and one facing the street in the front.

Produce, deli, and bakery make up the store's grand aisle, with a few grocery aisles next to that.

This store doesn't have the sprawling prepared foods department that Newton does, but there's still a large selection of fresh items in the small space.

The space is L-shaped, as it appears to be a combination of two different buildings. The grocery aisles are in the longer side, and the fresh departments are in the smaller part at the back.

Because it's a small store, the selection is pretty specialized, focused on imported Eastern European foods. There are plenty of supermarkets in the area with mainstream groceries, so there's no need to duplicate that.

I don't remember seeing a meat department here, but there's lots of smoked fish. And smoked meat. And sausages.

And that's all for Bazaar on Cambridge! Speaking of the mainstream supermarkets, let's take a look at one that was recently replaced tomorrow. Stay tuned!
