Nouria - Wolcott, Connecticut

Nice little gas station/connivence store. Every time I go the staff is always friendly and helpful. They have a nice variety of items for a quick pick up. The area is clean and neat. There is also a little section for you to sit down inside or outside if you purchase food. If you download the Nouria app, you get reward points, which is a big help when purchasing gas.

I was hesitant at first when ordering food, but what I have received so far has actually been really good. One time I got a chicken wrap with lettuce and tomato and some fries (pictured). I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken tenders had nice flavor and texture. The wrap was hot and well balanced between the meat and veggies. I'm not a fan of crinkle cut fries, but these are clearly done in a fryer and have excellent flavor.

A good place to go for a quick stop for gas, snack, or bite to eat.

Don’t follow any of the older reviews this is by far nothing like what nutmeg farms was and those reviews don’t portray this new company as to how they really are. Yes they have coffee and some grab and go foods but it’s nothing different than a Cumberland farms. They don’t have all the fresh large assortment of meals nutmeg farms had nor do they have the ice cream cakes or the beer cave nor are they community based anymore nor is there any love in the food anymore. I worked there when they originally opened I moved out of state and recently came back and stopped in and was heart broken to see this. I got the tortellini salad and the Italian combo grinder. The tortellini salad was mushy over cooked tortellini with a bland dressing, the Italian combo was missing ham and had zero love in it. The deli had very limited selections. As in any business I wish them the best but would be nice if they went back to something similar to the original business that was community based and family oriented. Note the grinder pictured isn’t a mistake they still use nutmeg farms packing labels that are printed in the kitchen office. Gas and cigarette prices are competitive which is great.

Me and my boyfriend do door to door canvassing, and we were looking for our go-to place for our breaks. We came across here, and omg! This place is so well put together, very clean, food is amazing, and everyone is so kind and uplifting!! Being able to come here for break everyday helps us out so much, especially being members through the nouria app! We save money, have a good time, and get to eat great good while enjoying our breaks!

I used to order dinner from here 3 to 4 times a week. Since the transformation almost a year ago, the sandwiches got smaller and the prices higher. I just ordered a double cheeseburger for 9 dollars and it didn't even come with any fries. I won't be frequenting this establishment for food sny longer. The poor reviews prior to mine, and the responses seem genuine, but it is clear that they have no intention of addressin the situation like they say they will.

Driving home from an event in Wolcott the other night on Rte 69, realizing we'd be going by Nutmeg Farms, I said we had to stop there for their ice cream sandwiches and anything else appealing. Impressive that their arancini, (not a common takeout dish from service stations) is 100% natural in ingredients. Delicious, too, eating them the next day. We didn't mind the baby peas listed were missing. The roast beef sub was also very good. The eggrolls were easy to eat after heating in the toaster oven.

This place is great! They have everything! Love the vast selection of freshly prepared packaged dinners to bring home from goulash to pasta dishes, gourmet sandwiches and salads, cold grinders made to order, and many choices of bagged snacks. We bought a couple of cappuccinos from one of a few coffee machine options, and three hard boiled peeled eggs so I could make egg salad later. When one of two helpful staff members told us they made their ice cream sandwiches fresh every day, with summer ending, we had to grab a package out of the freezer. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the ice cream sandwich was incredible, with the drive back allowing it to get soft on the outside and still be cold in the center.

Another place I'd frequent all the time if closer. It is ideal for people who can't cook or don't want to with so many fine foods to take home and heat up or simply eat. They also have an ATM in the store, all kinds of smoking products, lottery cards, energy drinks, some over the counter medicine, beauty products and, of course, gas for your vehicle.

What a disappointment to see probably one of the best convenience stores I've been to when it was Nutmeg Farms be reduced to this new corporate owned establishment. The only reason I am not rating it lower is because I know I'm biased by comparing it to the former five-star store that was here. They've certainly spared no expense with all of their signage and redoing the exterior that was completely unnecessary since it was already so new. First the fantastic local craft beer selection went away. They apparently have applied for a liquor license so that may return but I'm not confident since so far all Nouria has done is remove things and or reduce portion sizes of prepared foods. One of the first casualties was the Freal milkshake machine that was there when it was Nutmeg Farms. Than other inventory started to disappear cases were changed and/or removed offering fewer items. As for prepared foods they seem to feel that people would rather have grab and go food that's been sitting waiting in a warmer for who knows how long rather than having it prepared fresh. The portion sizes have dropped drastically. I used to grab a large order of french fries that would be enough for my family and have some to spare and now a large french fry is enough for two people. They did reduce the cost of it by $1 I'll give them that. Even the quality of the French fries has somehow dropped. They used to be crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside but now even if they haven't been sitting around in a warmer getting soggy they are not the same. The last two times I got some by the time I got to my car they were already soft after just having come out of the fryer so I'm not sure if it's a training issue because they have had so many new hires and so much turnover since switching to a 24-hour format. The hot dogs used to be footlongs or close to it and the one I had most recently was barely the size of the standard hot dog if not slightly smaller. Nutmeg Farms had Vermont creamy soft serve ice cream and you could get cones, sundaes etc. The machine seems to have been "broken" for quite a long time now. When I asked an employee if they were going to fix it she said she's been asking but hasn't gotten any answers. I then realized ice cream is not even listed under desserts on the big fancy new menu that they have so along with the other reduction of the number of food items offered like made to order fried dough, I'm guessing the soft serve ice cream will not be coming back. Feel free to prove me wrong on that one though there isn't much to do to rebut the other things that I mentioned. I was in there recently and there were a handful of clearly Nouria corporate employees milling about and I almost went over to speak with them since I work in a professional capacity myself and would have given them some honest feedback but I opted against it especially when overhearing a comment that sounded as if some additional changes were coming the people might not be happy with but would "get used to". I still shop here because it is the single most convenient place for me to run to from my house but I don't go anywhere near as often as I used to. Such a sad thing to see. Do better Nouria.

I USE to be able to go to your store to pick up a couple sandwiches, or some type of "fresh prepared foods" the last 3 times I have gone there, I have had to return the food, because it was expired, BUT you (Nouria) covered up the original expiration date with a sticker and I only realize that after I return home and have to come back and return it, some of the food the original expiration date is 3 days past and your "new" sticker you put on is for another 3 or 4 days. I went there last night 5/14/24 and EVERYTHING in the prepared food section had a new sticker and was expired, but had "current expiration dates" with the stickers you put over the original.

You are going to end up making someone VERY sick! My family will not be buying food from your establishment anymore.

Your staff is AMAZING I always have such great interaction with them. Especially the young lady and man that work at night (when I normally go in) but your prepared foods, you need to be better.

PEEL back the expiration date sticker before you buy any sandwiches or food from here.
