The soup was very flavorful, with parsnips. The fish and brewis is not for everyone, but I loved it. They heated jup a big portion in the microwave,a nd we ate it and the soup at a small table in the store. F and B is like a cracker casserole with bits of fish cooked in with the base. The hit was the generous portion of scruncheons on the top: they are tiny cubes of salted fried pork fat. Wow, what a flavor blast!!! They have lots of other traditional plates, but this is classic!!!

I started going to Caines for my lunches after getting a job in the area a couple of years ago and…read moreconsidering that I got a sandwich or a boxed dinner from them 4-5 times a week for nearly a year, Its was the first place I wanted to go when I moved back to the city. Its great grub and even though the sandwiches are something you could just make at home (they're pretty basic concoctions) Nothing you make will ever taste as a good as it does here. The boxed dinners are delish as well. You can actually sit down and eat your meal in the back part of the store as well although I never have, but its a quaint little place that I still visit frequently!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and they have some ingredients that aren't otherwise readily available in St. John's. If you're looking for something that's not in stock they will try to get it for you. Only place in town where I can get asafoetida. As a vegetarian, the only thing I've tried from the takeout is chana masala. Tasty, but I like mine a little more zippy on the spice mixture.

Absolutely delicious food. I had the UFO sandwich. It is huge and comes with a heaping serving of…read morepotato chips on the side. The sandwich itself looks like a UFO! I had the chicken, my friends had the lamb. The taste was out of this world! We also got complimentary Persian tea, fruit leather, and they even let us have a taste of the carrot jam. The owners were so sweet, and the ambience was excellent. Prices are SO REASONABLE!!

This is my favorite grocery store in town; pretty small, but has a quaint charm to it. I lived not…read morefar from this part of the city, a charming urban neighborhood that is quite scaled but still not far from downtown or the (mature) suburbs. There is a little parking lot next to the store, and you can park along Merrymeeting Road or the surrounding streets as well I guess. I always walked there so I never looked much into parking options. They accept debit and credit cards like larger grocery stores. As you walk in, you'll notice a baked goods section and small deli that has a good selection of store-made items and other local Newfoundland goods. There are only two cash registers to the left, and usually a security guard which I thought was a little odd for a small grocery store in St. John's but nonetheless, and from there on you see the normal grocery aisles you'd expect. Lines have never been a problem. Staff seem friendly. The aisles carry the name of local streets, ie. Cookstown Road. Their pricing is obviously a little higher than that of Walmart, Sobeys and Dominion - but really, it's a local chain of grocery stores headquartered in Corner Brook. They don't really have the scale that these chains do, and for what it's worth, there's not a big difference anyway. Weekly flyer often has pretty competitive specials, I imagine sold as loss leaders. Definitely better than the Sobeys store further down the street. Shop here, support local businesses before they're gone altogether. Colemans has a special place in the heart of many people living in this area I think.

There is plenty of friendly staff on hand to keep it clean and organized, or to help you with your shopping needs. The shelves are stocked and faced, and there is plenty of room to manoeuvre. The layout just makes sense. Take a deep breath when it comes to driving away from the store though. Traffic is bottlenecked (entering and exiting) through one entrance on Newfoundland Dr. Trying to turn East onto Newfoundland Dr will test your patience during peak hours.
