A very nice international grocery store. I wish they would set up a membership card program to collect points for various perks. There are plenty of items to choose from. Store is well planned, clean, kielbasa slicing station, shopping carts and baskets are available. Parking is shared with other businesses at the plaza. There is always someone there to assist you. I highly recommend visiting this store to try unique delicacies or to find international products like German chocolates that are available at Publix but not just 2-3 flavors. read more

Well. Romashka was recommended to me for good quality rye bread. I was told it was a bakery but no; it's a deli that sells some bread. Most of the staff is not English speaking & most of the items are labeled in Cyrillic so shopping is complicated. I did buy bread & a mystery sausage from the deli counter--I pointed & smiled. If you are Russian speaking, I suspect this a fine place. It was way too inaccessible for me. The bread was okay but not worth a return trip. The best thing I can say is that it was an adventure. Otherwise, a waste of time &energy. read more

While out and about, we stumbled upon an Eastern European grocery store called Romashka. Of course, we had to check it out, and to our surprise, they had an extensive selection of European cheese, meats, fish, chocolate, wine and beers. They also offer an array of bread in the mornings, which, along with the deli meats, makes it a win. read more

I've been a loyal weekly customer at this store, especially since the war in Ukraine began--I wanted to support their business and have spent a significant amount over time. I've been trying to reach the manager for a business-related question, but every time I call, she's unavailable. Tonight, I called again and spoke with someone named Katerina. Unfortunately, she was very rude and abruptly hung up on me without any explanation. I'm deeply disappointed by how I was treated. After all the support I've given, this is not the kind of service I expected. Sadly, I won't be returning. They've lost my business. read more

I was very impressed with the variety of items which were available and reasonably priced. Absolutely love the chocolates and bread! Will come back this week again :) read more

Romashka is a European market and deli that carries a great assortment of Eastern European goods. I stumbled upon it while at a different international store in the same plaza. Romashka has a great assortment of products from canned goods and jarred goods to dry pastas and grains and has a frozen section for yummy eats such as pelmeni and perogies. There is also an assortment of caviar and other goods. As you walk around the store there are plenty of specialty meats in the deli section such as bologna made with beef or veal, sausages, salami's, head cheese, as well as hot and cold smoked fish. The owner comes in early and makes fresh baked goods. The eclairs were good, the cheese Danish was absolutely amazing and the cherry Danish was wonderful. She also makes an assortment of breads, rolls and sweets such as napoleons and cakes. The store has a great selection of tea. I am a tea drinker and found a black currant hibiscus tea that I have never seen anywhere else, it is wonderful! There is a huge selection and if you like tea, you are bound to find something new and enjoyable. There is a massive selection of chocolates and candies. There are boxed candies, chocolate and candy bars and a wide variety of bulk candies for purchase. I am sure you can find something to satisfy any sweet tooth. Overall I had a nice time, we spent about a half hour exploring all of the goodies this deli and bakery has to offer. The proprietor was very nice and even provided some tips for preparing some items that I didn't know what I would do with. I really liked this store and will definitely return! read more

Ukrainian-owned Romashka used to have fresh pastries. This time I came specifically for fresh Easter Eastern European/Russian goodies, but didn't find any because the master baker wasn't available. Left with this gingerbread cookie that turned out to be really good. Usually gingerbread cookies that also look good tend to taste like cardboard. I'm looking at you gingerbread house! read more

One of the best European stores I have found in Jacksonville. They have a variety of European good to include Romanian grocery items that are hard to find read more

I liked the items that were available but would always like a bigger selection like babka, pierogi and kielbasa.

I don't read Ukrainian/Russian so I can't comment about much but I am a first generation American born Ukrainian and I love this place. I've gotten fresh pickles, many kinds of horseradish and fresh meat - both kielbasa and the smaller links, candy, wafers and authentic frozen pierogis that taste like babchi's. Minimal staff (one maybe two people are working the whole store every time I've been) but they're straightforward and have delicious and reasonably priced food. read more

Wow! I've had a European store right down the street from me and I had no idea! Just went and they had everything! I've been looking for pelmeni and oreshki and they had both! And a lot more! Thank you! read more

Found this shop on accident. We were leaving OMG Cafe in the same plaza when we saw this and got interested. Decided to check it out. Walking in was like walking into an old European grocery store. Reminded me of the shops we would frequent when my husband was stationed in Gaeta, Italy. My girls loved the variety of candies and treats that were new to them. They had everything from candies, cakes, cookies and other bakery items to pickled veggies, sardines, seafood, pasta, condiments, wine and liquor. Everything was well displayed and organized. I read somewhere that it is a Ukrainian shop but we also saw a lot of Russian products. Several items listed as "last chance" and it made us wonder if it had anything to do with supply issues and the current conflict happening in the area. Regardless, we were happy to support local business owners from either. It's such a hard time. The shop is great! We spent a while browsing and trying to understand what each product was. (It was not in English) my girls picked up pasta, cake, cookies, hazelnut spread, and a couple of fruit drinks. In recommend this shop if you're looking for a bit or culture and something different. read more

This store deserves 6 stars. read more

Drove all the way to the store, only to find out that no one in the store (neither the guests or the employees) were wearing a mask. Disappointed to see how they're not taking the simplest precautions to stop covid. No way I'm putting my health in risk like that. Sadly, I had to turn around without even stepping in. read more

Not the best. Purchased Hungarian Jewish Salami, absolutely terrible, too fatty and expensive. Purchased some pickled mushrooms, which were very bland. Poppy seed roulade was good but it was aged. Service is terrible. read more
