The sign outside says "best market in the Napa Valley"! Great store that is organized well. We only spent time in the perimeter of the store - we didn't need any pantry items or chips. We came in to pick up some picnic items: round sourdough, cheeses, and fruit! Great store with lots of offerings - even hot prepared foods! Registers were open, we checked out fast! read more

Cal Mart - Loved Cal Mart! Some cheese, bread (from SSF?), fruit (not pictured) and toffee to give you a friend as a gift. - Grocery Near Me - Calistoga, California

I really appreciate this small town store. The stock is very high quality. The deli is excellent with daily meal options that are quite good and varied. The staff is great... Friendly and efficient. Though sometimes you wonder what all of them are doing I am convinced from long time observing that they are doing what they need to do in order to keep the flow going. They are also very helpful and friendly. The rest of the store staff is also very personal, kind, thoughtful. They know their customers. The one thing I will say is that their stocking protocols seem to be a bit disorganized. There is never a price on individual items, and looking under the stock at the 'pricing' strips is quite confusing. There just doesn't seem to be any interest in identifying the prices of the items in stock. The skews are there, but there are no prices typically. If there is any price under the stock it typically doesn't have a name of the item referenced. Many times there is no price identified at all, and cashiers may have to go searching for a price. Yes they do have skews on the items, unless they are inaccurate. Beyond this, it's a great resource for the town and highly appreciated. High prices of course, in concert with high quality. read more

Excellent local market. There is a deli inside where you can get sandwiches and salads. Also a full selection of grocery items and organic produce. Right in the main stretch of downtown Calistoga. read more

Cal Mart - Parking lot - you can bike or drive in. - Grocery Near Me - Calistoga, California

On our way to start a day of touring and wine tasting in the valley, we had a friend tell us that we must stop at Cal Mart. It was going to be the place to get snacks to take along for our adventures. We both love all sorts of cheeses so that was our first stop in the store. Daniel took us through all the different types of cheeses they offered and made several recommendations to us. We settled on two great choices and then turned to address the other accoutrements. We snagged some prosciutto and some feta stuffed olives before heading toward the bakery. There we got recommendations for a sourdough baguette as well as the olive loaf. The olive loaf goes quickly according to the bakery department. We got the second to last loaf of the day. It was that delicious. Snacks in hand, we headed off for our day. This was a great stop! read more

Cal Mart is exactly what you hope to find in a small town--local charm with the selection of a big box store. From the moment you walk in, it has that friendly, welcoming vibe that makes you feel like part of the community, even if you're just visiting. While in town for work, my mornings often start here. Their hot breakfast sandwiches are a must--hearty, delicious, and perfect for fueling up for the day. They do sell out quickly (a testament to how good they are!), but luckily there's no shortage of other options, including a full coffee bar to get your caffeine fix just the way you like it. Whether you're picking up groceries, grabbing something quick to eat, or just want to soak up some local flavor, Cal Mart is a gem in Calistoga. read more

This store has great sandwiches, amongst other things. This is my go-to store when in town.

The food is so yummy but before the pandemic, Calmart had a hot food self serve station like the Salad Bar. The service is really good, i'm just sad about the self serve service. read more

CalMart Calistoga offers an excellent sandwich menu and equally great service, Fresh ingredients. Highly recommend,

Warm day and decided to get lunch anyplace other than one of restaurants along the main street. Headed in to the very clean and well-organized Cal Mart. Both folks at the deli were super welcoming and we ordered one of their signature Club Sandwiches on Focaccia bread. Asked them to put it on the panini grill as well. The woman at the checkout was extremely friendly. Sat in the nearby park and enjoyed one of the best sandwiches we've had in a very long time. read more

Cal Mart small gourmet grocery store that sells everything from fresh squeezed Orange Juice to freshly baked goods & sandwiches! If you don't feel like eating out and want to buy fresh food for a picnic or poolside. read more

Fantastic cheese selection, and the gentleman at the cheese counter even cut up the hard cheeses for our picnicking needs. Recommend this local grocery store for lunch essentials. read more

I've been coming here for 20 years plus for one thing and one thing only, sandwiches!. This market has all your sundries that you could possibly need that you might get on your trip but the real go to is the sandwiches and salad bar. There's nowhere else within 20 mi.² that you can eat such a great sandwich For such a low price that's well-made and they even put in a little thin mint chocolate for dessert every single time. There's a park about two blocks away where I go to enjoy my sandwich, drink a glass of whatever and take a nap and this place has been consistent over 20 years span of time. If you want to go to your extra fancy restaurants and pay exorbitant amounts of money that's all good too, but I would rather have a quality sandwich just to fill my belly while I'm winetasting. read more

Cute store with, ample charcuterie items, but a bit pricey. They had a nice wine selection. However the salad bar was a bit ran through and messy. read more

I am working in Calistoga for a few weeks and needed to stock up on some essentials. After doing a 'grocery stores near me' I decided to try the Cal Mart Grocery Store - in Calistoga. I was not disappointed at all. My large (Venti equivalent) latte with an extra shot of espresso, one pump of dark chocolate, made with oat milk = $5.60. At Peet's $8.25; Local Kuppa Joy $8.50; Starbucks $9.25. The team member was cheerful, happy to help, and made a truly great coffee experience while I shopped around the store. Oh, and let me not forget to let you all know their coffee beans are CERTIFIED ORGANIC! The selection of items were outstanding with incredible brands from around the world. Some high end brands were less at Cal Mart by up to 33% in near by towns - such as Napa. Every single team member on the floor and at the register were so pleasant. And the store was busy with every register open, a waiting line in the parking lot, and no one getting hyperactive and impatient. And there are a lot of tourist there at any given time. I love tuna salad. And they have a 'Homemade Tuna Salad' that tastes just like what Mom used to make. The egg salad was NOT DRY - creamy, spreadable, and very tasty. I could go on and on but I believe one gets the best of how this store meets all expectations for a wonderful shopping experience in a very busy tourist town, in the heart of wine country. When you are up in the Calistoga area stop in this little store and get one of their incredible sandwiches. And, of course, a great cup of coffee. Super place! I will be stocking up on some essential items, When I head home in a couple of weeks. Especially since I cannot get these items locally, nor does anyone make or carry a reasonable replacement locally! read more

Who would have thought, i would find the BEST Peppermint Latte at the Calistoga grocery store? Been having a craving ever since the Snoopy ice rink show where I got a great Peppermint hot chocolate, and i saw Peppermint Mocha on the Cal Mart menu so gave it a go... I seriously wanted to turn back on the way to Napa and get another! So so good! Perfect blend of yummies, and they must use a premium coffee blend. (Decaf yet!). No Calistoga does NOT need a Starbucks when they have Cal Mart! read more

I mainly shop the meat department and the deli. The entire store staff is very helpful and friendly. My favorite however is Caeser in the Deli Department. He is so very helpful and informative. Always greets you with a smile and offers samples of new products and thanks you for your purchases. read more

One of the best mom and pop grocery stores ive ever seen. The butcher shop area looked absolutely amazing high quality meats. Had an amazing fresh made sandwich all the fixings from the sandwich station/deli. Aisles all clean organized and even the Customer bathroom in the back was clean. Great spot to stop in Calistoga, CA. Highly recommend. Friendly staff as well read more

Cal Mart - Grocery Near Me - Calistoga, California

I really want to love Cal Mart as much as everyone else does but I'm simply just not a fan of their deli, nor do I find their staff to be very customer friendly. Ordering a few sandwiches at the deli counter, they seemed a bit put out. The bread seemed a bit stale and on my veggie sandwich I specified to add tomatoes, which they left off. I'll give them some props for having a nice variety of deli salads and a well stocked bake goods case. I can see, in theory, this could be a great place to stock up for a Wine Country picnic. Was excited to grab lunch here but ended up just feeling disappointed in the quality and overall service. Others seem to love it and perhaps I'll come back in case I just experienced an off day. I just didn't get or experience for myself, the hype of this place. read more

Since telling a luxury hotel with a 1-Michelin star rated restaurant SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE that one is vegan doesn't result in provisioning vegan coffee creamer in the fridge, I popped into Cal Mart after an early morning bike ride on my birthday to pick up some plant-based creamer and yogurt. First, I'd like to thank the man with the adorable black and white dog for crossing my path just as I was arriving so I could get in some pets and truly exuberant dog love to start my morning. YAY, doggies! Since I hadn't brought a lock with me -- I asked the cashier if I could walk through with my bike. She said to leave it next to her station by the ATM so she could watch it. The store is super well provisioned with everything -- and they have a good selection of plant-based coffee creamers, as well as kombucha and Rebbl chocolate milk so I ended up with nearly more than I could carry in the front pouch of my pullover windbreaker. Next, I'd like to thank the two people who had 3 dogs just outside as I left -- I got to pet all 3 dogs -- a labradoodle and a pair of very sweet German Shepherds. Later that day, my friend and I popped into CalMart again to get a bottle of wine - and we were pleased with the selection and pricing (the wine shop down the street in Calistoga was very expensive -- we ended up paying $20 for a bottle priced at $45 at the other place). Again - everyone working there was super nice. The customers were nice. It was a good vibe in the parking lot, too. Bring your own bags and wear a mask. read more

I love this store! Great butcher shop, produce, wine, cheese, a wall of hot sauces, great deli, espresso bar. They have it all, and it's all top notch. I may live in Saint Helena, but something about the store makes it worth the drive. Calistoga has parking, is charming, and has a vibe that other Napa Valley towns lack. Is it the resorts? Is it the 19th century feel? Is it the palisades standing sentry over town? Dunno, but this store, this town feels great. read more

We purchased two kinds of crackers. One was rancid and the other had a "best by" from four months ago. Nice selection of goods but they need to watch expiration dates! read more

Small-town grocery store. $2.49 for a bottled coke zero. Nice selection of desserts. Fast service. Quaint.

My wife and I love to escape the big city life (yes I'm calling Sacramento a big city) and enjoy the relaxing small city vibes of Calistoga. Calistoga is perfect for its wineries and bed & breakfast establishments. What could use some work is the duration that restaurants are open. Plenty of times my wife and I have spent a majority of the day wine tasting, only to find out that most of the restaurants were about to close or already closed (7pm seems like the popular closing time). Knowing that we wouldn't be able to make it to any of the restaurants after a day of drinking in our room (Cottage Grove Inn-please reference my Yelp review if interested), my wife and I took a walk to check out Cal Mart. Since our room did not have a microwave, we decided to opt for premade sandwiches and snacks. Although we had plenty of wine in our room, it was nice to see their phenomenal assortment of wines (perfect for those whom need to keep the party going after running dry). The store also has a healthy assortment of cheeses to pair with said wine. Staff were generally friendly and very knowledgeable about the location of products in the store (not always the case at some stores). Since this is one of very few grocery stores in the area, this will be our go-to spot whenever we're in town! read more

This is a great full-servicr grocery store: locally owned and operated ... almost everything you want, staffed by locals who care! ... all the basics, and excellent offering of Hispanic staples, and a great deli counter: sandwiches the way you want them! Parking available, but it gets tight at lunchtime ...and Bill the owner is a generous community supporter! This is the epitome of Local O&O: the reason to shop local! read more

Closes early at 8pm but has everything you need. Aldo has a good assortment of hot foods, made to order sandwiches, some premade salads, sushi, etc. staff very nice. read more

Every time I go camping, I always search out a small town market to service me with supplies and quality food. This place fit the bill for a few days trip. It is definitely on the gourmet side, which fits my taste. It is clean and well stocked. Here are my observations: The Digs: +Even for a more gourmet selection, the prices are not over-the-top. +Cheese section is abnormally large by ratio of the store. The store is half the size of a Whole Foods, but the cheese section here was just as large and represented. I guess they love their cheese in this town lol. +They have pre-wrapped meat and a butcher counter. Nice options. +I didn't use it, but their deli counter seemed really nice. Lots of things to grab and go. The Whoas: -The parking lot is small and doesn't share with any other parking lots. If it's full, it's full. And street parking isn't the easiest on this downtown strip. -Some of the pre-packaged meats were starting to show some age on them. Gotta have a discerning eye here. Can't just blindly grab and go. -No hard liquor section. If you want anything in this department, you're gonna have to make an extra trip to the liquor store across the street. So as far as small town markets go, this one surpassed my needs and expectations for a brief stint. And if ever back in this area for an extended stay, I won't hesitate in remembering that they're a solid option. read more

Deli is great prices and decent food but they get overwhelmed around lunch time and it takes twenty minutes to get a vegetarian sandwich made. Call your order in ahead because the convenience of just walking in and ordering isn't worth the wait time. Don't go to the older cashier lady if you have food stamps or gift card you want to use up. She will tell you "all it says is insufficient funds Not how much is left, I can't use up the last of it " and you will have to use a completely different method to pay or just go without. She is also very easily frustrated, and always has a bad attitude. Avoid her. read more

Cal Mart is the grocery option in Calistoga. They have a good selection of hot foodstuffs! I am a fan of the vegetarian breakfast Burrito! it has zucchini, mushrooms, tofu, peppers eggs. I was surprised how delicious it was when the selection of other burritos was gone and I had only the veggie to buy. Now it's all I eat! They also have a deli, meats, bakery goods and pastries. Fresh fruits and vegetables. A bit of a gourmet market. I'm glad Calistoga has this market. One stop shop, with out it there is nothing, a small Mexican market and gas stations. The only thing I can say negative is the price of products is a bit higher there. Hence the 4 stars. read more

This place is awesome for grabbing your needs for a picnic or even groceries if you are staying at a local air b and b or house. Great selections of cheeses, meats, wines, and whatever you may need! Makes it particularly nice since it's in the heart of downtown, making it walking distance from most of the local resort motels. read more

Raw milk and a variety of raw cheeses. This is a very popular market for great reason. I always make a stop here when I'm in the area. The employees are knowledgeable and helpful.

Came to this store. Kolesow is terrible, the don't put dressing. Also the guy who take the order not friendly.

Cal Mart is the spot to pick up groceries in the Calistoga area. There's plenty of parking here which is nice and I appreciate that they have a solid selection of produce, condiments, and other basic shopping needs. They've been around since 1968 as a family-owned grocery store - so they've obviously been embraced and well supported by the local community through the years. If you're in Calistoga for a brief amount of time and have a long car ride ahead - come here to stock up on healthy and unhealthy snacks. If you're looking to avoid long lines at nearby eateries or want to manifest a lovely picnic - Cal Mart's quality hot bar and sandwich making area - will serve you well. If you're a local and just looking to make a well sourced meal - come here. Trust. read more

Sam at the Deli has the worst costumer service. Sounds like he's not happy with his job and takes it out on the costumers. Sandwiches are getting more expensive by the day and they are adding less of each ingredient that you ask for. read more

CAL MART has various food items. They have friendly staff. The service is swift. This is the only grocery store in Calistoga that I know. We bought necessities like water, snacks, and soda. The price is a bit higher it's to be expected due to inflation. The ambiance is regular but with a flare of a small-town feel, where everyone knows everybody except the tourists, but are welcomed. read more
