J&B is a small, hidden food gem of Chapel West, and you wouldn't know it without stepping inside…read more They have a great selection of raw and prepared foods, a hot/cold bar beginning around noon, pre-made and made-to-order sandwiches, it's veg/vegan friendly, much of what they stock is organic, and avocado is an option on everything. They have a surprisingly large crisper with a selection of quality produce that rivals other grocery stores in New Haven. And the couple that own/operate the store clearly take pride in what they do. It's not a culinary destination for chowhounds from other metropolises, but anyone who lives, works or studies nearby is lucky to have J&B in the neighborhood. My favorites are their great selection of healthy Korean/asian salads (with ingredients like bok choy and snow peas), and their best-in-town buttery breakfast sandwich deal ($4 w/coffee). I give them a 5-star rating because: 1) They are the best deli/grocery/convenience store in the neighborhood, and 2) the other low reviews of J&B are of little help to anyone looking for a convenient place that sells fresh, healthy food.

Came here around 1:30 on a Sunday. There were some people waiting for sandwiches. I took a quick…read morewalk though the shop and was impressed by the selection, seems like you can find things you need last minute, in addition to things that may not be easily available in American grocery stores. I waited to order. Unfortunately they were out of some of their bread so I was limited in the type of sandwiches I could order. I opted for a tuna melt which was prepped quickly. Really reasonable price and a lot of meat. Tasted great and came out warm! It's really nice that they have seating to eat if you wanted to spare yourself from the weather. Will definitely be interested in trying some of their Asian fusion sandwiches!

My friend and I stopped by this deli on our way home to NYC. When we arrived there were a few…read morecustomers in the store sitting down and some online. The deli/restaurant was fairly large and spacious. They sell a variety of cold cuts, sandwiches, soups, salads, meal platters, baked goods and lots of other items. The staff were friendly and worked fast to keep the line moving. My friend ordered the roast beef hero that was jus okay to me. I would've preferred the pastrami. However, I ordered a small turkey chili with grated cheese on top (Ground Turkey, Kidney Beans, White Onion, and Jalapeños Simmered with Chili Powder and Other Secret Spices). I waited until I got home and slaughtered that chili. OMG, it was so flavorful and hearty. Of course, I was upset I didn't get a large. The chili came with some small crackers. I also purchased some macaroons and they were very yummy. I would definitely check this place out again and check out some other menu items.

The place had a few people in, but I was quickly helped! I placed an order initially for the chicken, broccoli, rabe, but they were out of some ingredients (which makes sense, looks like they were processing some large orders) so I instead opted for a chicken bomb, one of their hot sandwiches. I went for a sub (over a roll) and got a drink, my total came out to around $22. I grabbed my drink from the side fridge, and was told it would take a few minutes. There are a few tables and a TV playing, so a nice place to wait, and eat if you're in a hurry. There are also several tables outside which would be nice to eat at in the warmer months. Quickly, my sandwich was ready and warm! The person working gave me a bag which she had added napkins to. The sandwich was significantly bigger than expected. Honestly for me, two meals but easily could have been three. Generous with portions of everything too. I will definitely be back to try more of their sandwiches and their pizzas!

Del Monaco's Italian Market is a small Italian market, delicatessen, bakery and pizzeria that…read moreopened in New Haven, Connecticut in 1969. It was founded by the Del Monaco family. The market carries a variety of products including olive oils, canned tomatoes, antipasto specialties, pasta, and various Italian imports. However, they really shine when it comes to their prepared foods. The market makes a number of dishes in house which include fresh bread, deli sandwiches, hot Italian sandwiches, wraps, soups, salads, pasta dishes, stuffed breads, calzones, and even New Haven-style pizza! Del Monaco's also offers catering services. I recently stopped at Del Monaco's for lunch. I had been there once before and I remember that their sandwiches were pretty good. I haven't been back in a while because they have VERY limited hours: only Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30 am until 3 pm. I happened to have a day off from work, so I was able to get to the market in the early afternoon. I ordered their "Chicken Cutlet & Broccoli Rabe" sub on fresh Italian bread with melted mozzarella. It was phenomenal! I decided to make the most of my visit and ordered a large "Mozzarella Pizza" to bring home for my family for dinner. Not long after ordering the pizza, I overheard a staff member yell out, "No more pizza orders." They had run out of dough for the day, and I got my pizza order in just in time. My family and I were also planning on going to the beach the following day, so I decided to order a couple of more deli sandwiches to bring along. I ordered an "Italian Dream" (prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted pepper, Stella table cheese) for myself and an "Italian Combo" (ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone) for my wife. My family and I all enjoyed the pizza later that day for dinner, and my wife and I loved the sandwiches at our beach trip the following day. There aren't too many Italian markets like this left. Del Monaco's is a real gem and I highly recommend stopping by for one of their delicious Italian sandwiches or a tasty pizza pie.

I experienced a bizarre incident of near stalking and bullying by the manager of Good Nature Market…read moreon Broadway at approximately 2:30am on Thursday April 9 2026. They failed to accurately present the price of an item, I pointed this out at the counter to the entirely polite cashier. The cashier told me that an item (package of single serve Oatly packages marked to be sold together with a single expiration date on the package) was meant to be sold individually not as a package as it was marked, and he wasn't sure how much it was. He called the manager over. I point out that the highest priced Oatly was a little under $6 where they had packaged it and that their sign by the cashier clearly states that if an item rings up for a higher amount they will give the item for free up to $20. I was happy to pay the amount it was marked for or the amount of the highest listed Oatly. The manager, who is rarely in the store, told the cashier it was twice as much. I calmly told the cashier that I had been coming here for a decade (he knows me) and if this is the way he is going to do business I will not shop here for at least 3 months. Once I said I was discontinuing the business transaction, while the cashier remained a calm, normal human being, the manager began yelling, shoving his finger towards my chest, waiving his hands like a maniac, bitterly yelling at me for deciding not to shop there anymore. I respectfully told him, sir, please calm down, you made a business decision and I am also making a business decision not to shop here for at least three months given the false advertisement. The manager spiraled into a threatening tantrum and followed me out the store into the street. I would like the store owner's contact so I can report the incident. I do not tolerate threatening bullies when I trying to shop, especially at night.
