The best Romanian version of Serbian cevapcici! Ready to grill on Pascha next week. Nice people running the shop, too.

The place didn't have much to buy except a whole bunch of chips. I went there for the pastries, but it was not worth the drive. The pastry tasted like they've been in the fridge for a long time. They're very dry and taste like the fridge. read more

Romanian Store - The pastries were very dry and they tasted like they've been in the fridge for a long time. I don't recommend to waist your money on them. - Delis Near Me - Carmichael, California

The food was great and the customer service was excellent. The ambiance was quaint. I would definitely recommend to try the restaurant.

brings nostalgia, food is very good, nice employees! the minute i walked through the door i got greeted in Romanian. Highly recommend!

Cute little market tucked in this shopping center. So many interesting dried products and a deli case. There is a kitchen in the back of the store. Wow oh wow for the desserts. Delicious. Highly recommend getting some. Support local businesses! read more

Extremely racist encounter today. I purchased two Mărțișor and the lady at the counter forgot to put them in my bag. When I returned, she swore up and down she bagged them. I told her they were not in there and that I already checked. She had the audacity to say, in front of customers, that she thinks I am lying. She proceeded to throw the cards on the counter. I informed her I don't appreciate her racism and that I will no longer be a patron. Why would I lie about some cheap greeting cards? Pathetic. As a Black Romanian, I am extremely disheartened to receive this treatment. read more

This store never answer the phone...we can't drive 100 miles to get there and find out they don't have what we want.

Customer service was awesome! We went after closing and they re-opened for us which was really nice!!

This place has really gone downhill since the ownership change. I used to come here for the Romanian deserts which were always fresh and delicious. Since the new owner took over the deserts are very substandard. Things taste like she makes one soupy vanilla sauce for everything... sorry but an eclair and a cremesh have to have real vanilla custardy goodness in them not some crap frosting. Also, presentation is severely lacking and sometimes I feel like very old deserts are lumped in with the new so they would sell. And by the way get rid of the horrible styrofoam containers! Terrible for the environment... The new owner is kind of rude. Barely greets you when you walk in and walks past you to go in the back and do whatever she does and doesn't come out for a while. I get that she's working alone mostly but communicate a little ok? Today I went in for some amandine which she didn't have and settled on some savarine but after waiting for a bit with no acknowledgement decided to leave and probably not come back. Good luck with the business. It would've been better if you tried to value your customers a little. read more

This store is never open when I come to shop! I don't understand how the owner can have this place closed during business hours!!! First, she opens late (10:00 am), then she puts a sign up that she'll be back at 1:30 when her store was not open! At least, close it for 2 weeks if you need a break! Second, some products are expired already and they are on the shelves with regular price! I am taking my business somewhere else!! Sorry this store doesn't deserve my 1 hour drive just to see that it's close!!! Very disappointing - this is my 3rd and final attempt! There are some good Russian stores around, eager for business! read more

Hours on YELP are wrong. I've tried to eat here twice now, each time I come they are closed. They have completely inconsistent hours, it's annoying. read more

Mititei, sarmale, cirnatzi and other Romanian traditions and products that one misses can be found here! Very tasty!!

I want to thank Katerina from the bottom of my heart for being a very attentive, sensitive, polite and cheerful hostess-seller! I also want to note her for respect for customers! She is very hardworking, sympathetic and always ready to help those in need. And the bread she bakes is not to be found in all of America. She also makes delicious sweets. I wish Katerina good health, happiness and great success in her hunger-saving noble work!!! read more

The prices are very high and the new owner seems to be very strange. The produce doesn't not have the expiration date label on it. I checked the price online for the product I bought and it was $1.50 but she charged me $4.00. She addition charged me another $1.20 for apparently using my credit card she didn't charge me last time. Eventually she gave me $1.00 back but she got argumentative until she realized she was wrong. There is not much diversity of food here also. I recommend the other Romanian Food Store, I believe is called Emanuel!!! There they are friendlier and they have better prices and more diverse food. read more

What a gem! Whenever I work in Carmichael I try to stop into this shop. I'm a sucker for their tasty desserts and great selection of quality meats. The woman who runs it is so friendly and always gives me plenty of options when trying to narrow down my choices! I love the mom & pops feel of this place big you're looking for some sweet treats of some yummy meats for a picnic you gotta check this place out!!! read more

Romanian Store - Yes!!! I'll take it all!!! - Delis Near Me - Carmichael, California

There mici is amazing the bread is amazing the services is amazing great place to try out if you want some flavor in your life..

Homemade delicatessen in Carmichael has a very nice employee base and friendly people about. The selection is very large. There are candies in so many varieties that are unique, as well as pastas. But the main attraction here is obviously the delicatessen. Taste of Homemade Delicatessen has, sausage, of many varieties. They also have bacon, and salami among other fine meats. Another bonus is that they have many dessert items that are specially made. Some of the items are more appealing to the eyes, for their novelty, than they are to the actual taste buds. I do recommend, 4 stars. read more

I love this store! If you are not romanian you have to try " mici " ( skinless sausage) the cakes. I'm from San Rafael and I love to drive 2 hours anytime for some yummies! Everytime I'm going there they have this very warm bread to die for! I just have water on my mouth thinking of all the goodies ! The ladies working there are always very nice and make you feel very welcome! read more

Romanian Store - Skinless sausage! - Delis Near Me - Carmichael, California

Absolutely disgusting, I just spent over 125$ on salamis and some deserts and all is bad. The deserts are very very old they taste rotten. The salamis are rotten, old and sticky. When you actually open them from the plastic they stink very bad. Bought some pufulets all hard and stale. Should be ashamed for selling this kind of garbage. Everything had to be thrown out. Nasty, I can't believe this place actually passed the health department. read more

This is a Eastern European grocery store and we shop here about 5-7 times a year. I should say their food is mostly Romanian but there is also Macedonian, Bulgarian, Polish and a few other East European foods. The owner is very welcoming and friendly. They have a variety of foods mostly meats, cheese, drinks and pastries are to die for. On my visit yesterday we bought bread, eclairs, mici (Romanian sausages made with beef and lamb meat), pickled roasted bell peppers & a few other items. Here's my honest opinion as always ;-) Service - 5 stars Quality of food 4-5 stars Price - 3 stars (great food but a little overpriced but some items are priced ok) For example the bread which is made daily it cost us $3 which is a good price. Romanian mici/sausages about 26-28 equal to about 4lbs cost about $25 price not bad. Roasted Bell Peppers from Macedonia about 80oz $7.99 great price ! Now the Romanian fresh made Turkish Delight at $10 for a pound was way overpriced (that should of been more like $5-6). But here's my overall review at 4 STARS! Take a sec. and check some pics of the food we bought. read more

We are from Europe and since we moved here to the States (3 years ago) we wasn't able to eat a decent bread until now haha!! This place has the BEST bread!! And of course other treasures, we can't buy anywhere else. read more

This is the store to go for mititei. Very tasty! Also there is a lots of salami and cheeses. Do not forget savarines and diplomat cakes

Came all the way from San Francisco to have some Romanian food and was more than pleased! The owner is super nice and the food is all handmade. The mici was fresh off the grill so each bite was so juicy and rich in flavor! I had to stop myself from eating too much because I knew we were going to have dessert afterwards. If I could have tried all of the desserts they had I would have. I tried the diplomat and it was amazing! My favorite had to be the savarina. It was sweet, but not too sweet. I went in hungry and I left very satisfied. Even though it is far I wouldn't mind making the trip again for the amazing food. read more

Romanian Store - Delicious and juicy! - Delis Near Me - Carmichael, California

I love this place, it is so delicious! You don't have to be Romanian to like the produce. I took my American friend the other night right before they closed and we had the best experience. The owner was so kind and let us shop even though they were closing. We got to taste a few things, which made us buy a lot hehe. You have to check it out!!! You have to try "mici." Took some home to barbecue! Thank you for the great experience! read more

Me and my friend always laughed at the sign on the wall with out ever walking in. Went in and wow. The bacon and salmi and other meats they have from different parts of the world are great. I can't get enought from here. Everyone has to try there shop. read more

Romanian Store - The one on the bottom is from Romania the other I forgot. - Delis Near Me - Carmichael, California

I have not been back to this store for over a year. They have a new management, and it looks very promising. The place had tidied up since the last time I was there. There are more Romanian products than they ever had since the ten years my family and I have been coming here. There are even more Romanian products than Jon's Supermarket and International Meat Market in southern California, which is pretty impressive. The bakery selections are still the same, so they kept the same baker I assume, which is a plus for me:) The lady at the register was extremely friendly and accommodating. She said that the store isn't perfect, but is trying in every way to make it better. For potential and previous customers, I would highly recommend at least try, or come back to this place and see for yourself. I was extremely delighted and glad I came back to Taste of Homemade Delicatessen! They will definitely be seeing me around soon! read more

Everytime I come I am super impressed. The mici are amazing and you can get the homemade bread with them! Tastes so amazing. They also have a pretty amazing dessert selection that I have been meaning to try, everything looks so good! So stop on by if you want some Romanian food! read more

Best Romanian store and service! Micii, the bread, the baked sweets are awesome! Not to mention they have borsh without msg!!!! Great store run by great people! read more

Not cheap. The food is good, but they are not cheap. The prices are not advertised, if you don't ask , you may be overcharged. The mici, have different amounts of meat in each one o them, so one can be small, one can be bigger. Also, check for freshness of food, not all deli products are ,,fresh,,. read more

I'm sure their meats and groceries are dandy if you're looking for Romanian stuff, but I didn't get any. I walked in on a whim looking for a sandwich, hoping I would need to resort to Subway next door. Alas they don't make sandwiches. They have two tables set for eating though so I asked the man at the counter what those were for and he replied that they make desserts. There were some items under a heating lamp that didn't seem to be desserts so I inquired about those. He said, "Oh, yeah. Those too." So, they have meats, some groceries, and tables in case you want to have a seat for one of their desserts or "those too." read more

Love their Mici and bread here. You can have then make the mici there and enjoy it fresh and hot with bread and Dijon mustard. Delicious!! I used to come here for lunch when I worked nearby. Very friendly owners. read more

Prices have gone through the roof and quality down the drain. Used to be a great deli/market, but everything changed under the new ownership. The deli meat are stale, merchandise is expired ( and way too expensive) and the owners are so rude and unprofessional. The owner has a chip on his shoulder and acts like he's doing you a favor. Forget ordering over the phone, they never get it right! Not once. It seems that is chaos in there all the time. Very disappointed. read more

there mici are awesome the environment is ok. very small place but very very friendly people . food is awesome they can bbq some mici for you or take home and cook them yourself. good place love it . recommended for all read more

Had the mici here and amandina pastry. Both were delicious! Wish I didn't live so far away but it's definitely worth the trek from Berkeley.

Excellent stuff. You need to try. Driving here at least once a month for supplies from San Francisco Bay Area. Sometimes I call in advance to make sure they have something I like; if not, I reschedule! :) read more

If you are looking for some good Romanian food, this is the place. They have mici, romanian pastries, romanian cold cuts + cheese + sausages (cabanosi, parizer, salam, cascaval, feta), spices, teas, borsec, and a good variety of european candy. The shop is clean and the people who work here are very friendly. I was able to find a micisori here for women's day which was nice. Highly recommend. read more
