    Store front
    Frankie M.

    Great new upscale convenient store in Jersey City. Prices are pretty good and they have fresh produce. They also have a hot food section where you can get some freaky cooked food; salmon, chicken and veggies. Competitive prices and no lines. Get your snacked here as well as you every day necessities. They have organic options and vegan options as well. Small but packed with what ever you need. They also have a variety of cold cuts and cheeses to satisfy your tastbuds. I didn't buy any hot food but the food looked delicious. I bought a red pear there and it was absolutely juicy and succulent. I will definitely come here again to buy some fruit and other snacks. Great addition to the downtown area.

    Convenient location for grabbing last minute grocery - it's located on the prime street of Grove Street with all the restaurants and shops. Great place to get fresh fruits that are in season (and therefore decently priced !) Other grocery items are bit pricey compared to other places, so I wouldn't come here for normal grocery shopping unless I'm in a grocery emergency situation.

    Oliva has really upped their deli food game! Gave the salad bar another try and there are so many more options now. Reasonably priced at $6.99 and absolutely delicious. The spicy chicken is super spicy, but actually the chicken cutlet was even tastier. I'll be getting my salad fix here regularly. The produce shopping here continues to be amazing. They always have something on super sale. Like strawberries for $1, ginger .99¢/lb, asparagus bunches 2/$3, etc. I also LOVE being able to buy loose produce by the pound. I come here at least 2x a week to pick up things. I also tried one of their chocolate cake desserts. I mean it's not a fresh baked cake, but it was really good!

    Ok this is so frustrating! The delivery was late. But beyond that my entire kitchen smells like plastic! There is a JC bag ban... they advertise themselves as a Grocery Store and restaurant and yet they hide behind the "deli" examption. Every food is in a plastic container... then each container is wrapped in liberal amounts of saran wrap... then all the plastic cutlery is wrapped in plastic... and all of that is placed into a toxic plastic bag. Now... plastic is toxic to human health not to mention detrimental to human health. There is a reason the entire world is moving away and banning these items in every corner. Was my first time to try something different... definitely disappointed and underwhelmed.

    Promising new food spot on the newark pedestrian walk. Two floors of groceries, leaning towards Mediterranean goods. Counters for baked goods, sandwich/deli. The shop is open, but it looks like they're still finishing up the second floor. Looks great so far!

    I was with my husband walking at Grove street and saw this grocery place. A lot of people were buying strawberries/raspberries which were placed outside the shop. I wanted to see if they are fresh so went inside and they looked fresh so I thought of checking the entire place. Firstly, this place has a live salad and sandwich section. You can ask whatever you want and they make in front of you like delis. Second, you will find a variety of pastries including cheesecakes and pies(they dont look fresh to me). Their fruits and vegetables looks good to me. I have posted a picture of what I bought from here, Diet cheesecake which is new to me, have never seen before and I really liked its taste and felt no guilty after eating full one can(:D). After my first visit here, I searched these cheesecake but could not find so went there again last weekend. Although the prices are relatively high but they have few things which you normally dont find in Walmart or other grocery stores.

    Great food, great customer service, it's a cross of a mini whole food market and Buffett style food. There is minor seating in the inside on the upstairs part of the market. There's a lot of options for food. I had the beef and chicken mixed with veggies. The only issue is that it's located in the heart of "pedestrian plaza". Parking is too great

    Business

    Great place for variety of delicious authentic food and grocery. I think Oliva is one of the best business in Jersey City. People working in there are very kind too ! Thanks !

    This guacamole and chips for (1) was $7.95! Not mention I couldn't get a grilled cheese with no meat for less than $9.   Won't be returning

They said the $6 a pound are sweeter than the free ones. But the small-seeded lychees are the ultimate! Best-tasting lychees-- small-seeded ones! So sweet and full of juicy lychee flavor you cannot get in a can! Also, cherries are really cheap, cheaper than at other fruit stands or Whole Foods. 2 pounds $3!!!! Last week I paid $6.99 a pound at Whole Foods. Guava $5 a pound. Nothing like a sweet guava from Taiwan. Mangoes 2 for $1. Cheaper than at Whole Foods. Bring your cash! I can easily spend $50 no problem. I saw a lady buy 6 bunches of the $15 a pound lychees. Bring yo cash. Not sure if this is the one I go to: Mullberry at Canal.

    Pretty awesome spot!!…read more I can speak for the smoothie/juice bar which is an extension of the market area. Based off of first impression this spot is very clean. They have the fruits and veggies ready to go and all of them are bright and fresh. Nothing looked like it had been sitting out. The service was quick and friendly too. They also have free samples of hot apple juice. I tried the one with pomegranate and it was delicious. Literally the most perfect fall treat! What we had: - Yellow Power Smoothie: my husband got this and he says it was really good. It was perfectly balanced and he drank this one pretty quickly! - Build your own Juice: love that they have this option! So helpful when you don't exactly vibe with any of the ones on the menu. I chose one with carrot, orange, and watermelon. The juice was perfectly balanced! I tasted hints of all the components in every sip, not too much of any one ingredient.

They have about 14 different types available (7 juices and 7 smoothies), though you're also able to create your own. We love that they use FRESH everything in each of their recipes! You can literally watch them grab the fruits and veggies needed for your drink as they place them into the juicer/blender. It's very reassuring to see this as you can't always trust fresh ingredients are being used in other places that make smoothies. When ordering a smoothie, they'll ask what you want for the base. The options are Apple juice, coconut water, almond milk or water. We almost always choose coconut water as it's a great source of electrolytes AND tastes absolutely delicious with any of the smoothies using tropical fruits. They also have a delicious Apple cider tea! It's always out (hot and fresh), they have about 4 different varieties and they allow free samples. I love the clove and ginger flavor and my husband loves the ginger honey flavor. You can purchase this as an individual cup or as a half gallon or gallon option. I can't wait for autumn to hit as this tea is PERFECT for a chilly autumn day! And I plan to purchase in bulk to keep at home so I can indulge without having to walk so far every time I want it. Our new Sunday ritual is to buy our produce and then grab a juice/smoothie from here. We love coming here and I'm sure you will too!

Walking into the store from the corner entrance, directly in center there's a beverage station with coffee and tea dispensers. About half the store is dedicated to prepared foods--on the left are chilled and packaged desserts, on the right are warm and cold mains, salads, cheese and charcuterie, sides, sushi, convenient packaged foods (crackers, breads, candies, snacks). Toward the middle of the store are a few aisles of jarred, canned, dried goods, teas and coffee sachets, condiments and spices.

I got the plain with pistachio drizzle and blueberry and my husband got their peanut butter crunch. Their froyo was only okay. It's kinda like a 16 handle but with more expensive toppings. The peanut butter crunch is with vanilla yogurt and it was kinda melty. Neither of the yogurt tasted very special. The whole experience was truly a patience test... The store wasn't set up very well. The express window wasn't really express when there's only one person working there. Not mentioning the people waiting in line in the store can also get yogurt and the topping bar for the people that are getting the froyo in the store is the same topping bar that they used for the express window and they are always in each other way. There was also a lady that was standing at the window and not doing anything? The guy that was working there was also very slow. If you want frozen yogurt in the area, I recommend Madison Fare or even just pinkberry or 16 handles. This place was not worth the wait.

Perhaps it was a bad supplier or whatever. And they weren't as cheap as they used to be. The service, while never good, has turned rude, and worse at the fish counter. My old fish store on Grand closed so I started going here for fish. At first I didn't mind when "locals" were waited on ahead of me, but frankly it became irritating after a time.
