We've passed this place a thousand times. Yesterday out of curiosity we stopped. I must say I'm…read morevery pleasantly surprised. Place is kind of tight through the aisles but I was really surprised that I didn't have to compromise on my needs. Store was well stocked and contained major brands and also offered a few options. Major plus was the fresh foods made in house like the potato and Mac salad. Really tasted home made without that "factory" taste. Meat section was plentiful and deli was attentive and friendly. I really have nothing bad to say which is unusual for this reviewer. Oh maybe one thing... watch dates on some items. I'm not sure of the volume Jacks does so turnover maybe a little slower. Bottom line... great spot that serves the locals quality items and nice workers. Good spot!! Parking behind the store. Mellow feel to the store playing great 60's -80's rock

What a letdown. I've been shopping at the Caldwell Shoprite for over twenty years, and I was…read morelooking forward to the new location. As much as I liked the convenience and quick "in and out" quality of the smaller original location, the idea of a new, larger store with more inventory and variety was exciting, but sadly, all the negative qualities of this new store have discouraged me from shopping there, and frankly after shopping there just twice I don't plan to return. There are very few handicapped parking spaces, and they only exist at one of the two entrances. Although for reasons passing understanding, there's a solitary handicapped spot out in the farthest corner of the parking lot. What's that about? The main entrance to the parking lot is also at the exact spot where the main entrance and exit to the store is located, which causes an almost omnipresent bottleneck of cars waiting to get into the parking lot, while customers are entering or existing the store with their carts. The inside of the store is impressive at first glance, but that only lasts until you start actually shopping. The produce department somehow feels smaller than the old store with less inventory. The small produce bins are for the most part are equally sized, with no apparent thought given to what they would contain. For example, bananas are in the same size bin as the plantains. Which do you think they sell more of in Caldwell? So, the bins with the popular/everyday items need to constantly be refilled and are consequently frequently empty. Why they didn't make larger bins for bulk items like tomatoes, potatoes and onions is baffling. The deli counter is also smaller than the older store. It's now a small counter where both the customers and the deli people battle for space. In addition, the store has created yet another crowded bottleneck there. Customers who are waiting at the deli counter act as a human barrier to all the other foot traffic that can't get past them. Again, poor planning. The bread counter. Again, smaller than the old store. I've included pictures. The new store has a large dining area with tables that divides the produce area. It's nice idea in concept, since the store does have an upgraded hot foods counter and more prepared foods, but the reality is that the area seems mostly unused aside from the few Shoprite employees I saw eating there, and it acts as a sort dead zone right in the middle of the produce area. The Morristown Shoprite and Livingston Shoprite have similar dining areas, but are wisely located outside of the main shopping area. The aisles are another frustrating design choice. They are loooong. Why they did not make some sort pass-thru at the midpoint, just like the Morristown Shoprite did and Wegman's did with their long aisles is a question. There also seems to be an issue with where the store places it's products. Every supermarket in the country puts the ice cream cones with the ice cream (and Caldwell used to). Now the ice cream cones are at the opposite end of the store in the aisle with the crackers or cookies. It took three employees to find them. This counterintuitive placement of products seems to be a running theme of which that is just one example. On the plus side, the store does sell liquor and beer now, but again, they have chosen to place that section right at the entrance to the store, bisecting the food aisles, which is simply odd to me. The bottom line is the store is new and it is beautiful, but the planning and execution for real, everyday shopping is sorely lacking. Choosing style over substance was a bad choice. Hopefully it's one they can correct. Until then I'm driving to Parsippany, Livingston, or Little Falls (heck, even West Orange).

I come here every so often, there is a great time to go which is around 4:30pm. Other than that…read more That place is a zoo. Between the crazy mom and dads with their little kids and stuffing their cart to the brim and the seniors with nothing else to do during the day so there isn't a rush to get thru the aisle. It's hectic. I actually would pay more to avoid the parking lot area and that mess of people in there. I did however, ordered catering since a lot of people do rave about it. And it was amazing. Their finger sandwiches were a hit at the party. Fresh deli meat and Martin bread, you can't beat that. The platter I ordered served 8, which was way enough for people to take home. Love the decor and i hope they're taking it to the new ShopRite.

You may not ever…read morecome across this review because you are busy searching restaurants in NYC for your next first date...BUT, you will be missing out. Lucky Farmers Market is a non-descript bodega perched in a four deep mini-mall on Bloomfield Ave. in Verona (co-occupied by Subway and double Krauszers). Sounds awesome, right? Actually, it is. Inside is where you actually get lucky.* Fresh fruit and vegetables in droves for way less than your not-so-supermarket. From gargantuan Asian pears to three kinds of cucumbers to berries of all kinds, Lucky will not let you down on the fruit and vegetable end. This is not a full market so don't get all, "That dude said this place had everything," because they don't have everything. They just have good produce, a smattering of market items (good, healthy options) and THIS IS WHERE YOU MUST PAY ATTENTION - a full-time sushi chef that churns out the best sushi around, restaurant or not. Yes, a small bodega will give you excellent sushi in a plastic container and you won't have to overpay for it. If you take anything from this, just get the Tuna/Salmon sandwich sushi and thank me later. Lucky is my go-to spot for the items I rely on - fruit, vegetables and sushi. I do the bulk of my shopping at a regular, large and fat market, but I get all my fruit and vegetables here and I get dinner here 2x a week, every week. Everyone who runs this place and works here is super friendly and a pleasure to see every day. In a pinch, you can get flowers here which actually last a while too. What else is there to say? If you don't ever have a reason to go to Lucky Farmers Market, no one will care (not even your Mom), but if you do have a chance to swing by with fruits, vegetables, sushi or something interesting in mind you just might have found your spot. ____________________ *Well, you might not get lucky if you are thinking something other than groceries or sushi, but I get Lucky almost every day.

ONE STAR -- Heartbreaking Disaster for Our Twin Daughter's First Birthday…read more I am absolutely shocked and heartbroken by the way Calandra's Bakery handled our daughters' first birthday cake. We paid $400 for a custom cake -- and even had to supply our own candy hearts -- and the entire bottom tier collapsed. The cake was constructed incorrectly, the dowels were tilted, and it was sliding off the base. This was not our fault -- this was baker incompetence. The baker was Alida. When we called to report the disaster, the manager Tony was rude, dismissive, and nasty. Instead of helping us salvage the cake, he blamed us, said we should have paid extra for delivery, and then had the nerve to tell us we should drive 35 minutes away, wait 30 minutes while he "fixed" it, and drive 35 minutes back -- all while our twins party was happening. Absolutely unbelievable. After threatening a fraud dispute, Tony finally sent a replacement cake -- which was just a plain white cake with basic piping, looked nothing like what we ordered, and: * Arrived late (promised 2:20, showed up at 2:55) * Our event ended at 3 * Was stale, ugly, and poorly decorated * Had gray piping, not the promised rainbow design When we tried to get an ETA for the replacement cake, Tony did not answer any of our phone calls. When it finally arrived, his attitude was the same -- dismissive and rude -- telling us to "be patient" while the delivery men shrugged at the ruined original cake and tossed it aside. No apology. No compensation. When we asked for compensation, Tony yelled and blamed us, despite the cake being a complete failure due to their mistakes. We were celebrating a once-in-a-lifetime milestone for our daughters, and Calandra's Bakery ruined it entirely. For $400, you expect care, professionalism, and a beautiful cake -- we got disrespect, incompetence, and heartbreak instead. Do not trust Calandra's Bakery with anything that matters.
