I only wish that I had taken pictures! Beautiful old school grocery store in laurel heights, with all of the latest and greatest culinary hits! The store is immaculate! Great produce either way mountains of organic and conventional items. The grocery section is chock full of faves and so many options in the frozen section. I found six varieties of gourmet heat em up croissants! The cheese monger had plenty of unpasteurized frenchies and the pasta salad was excellent. They even had my brand of prosciutto. Within is a Jane's bakery ( five star yum) and a Bryan's meat butcher for the carnivore in anyone. Think Korean style short rib. This place is a wonder. Great parking in front and back. Miracle. Service is fast and friendly.
Cal-Mart has been in business for more than 75 years. It isn't the most budget friendly place but there are so many other reasons to shop here. The produce is glorious and so fresh and beautifully displayed. The butcher and fish monger have the best of the best. The grocery department may seem small but the assortment is amazing. The deli department has wonderful house made items. Wine and liquor department has treasures. And there is a branch of Sweet Things bakery as well. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit!
I have been shopping here since I was a little kid in the 60s when my mom would give me a check. Yeah like that shit would happen today. Their produce is top notch. I love Antonelli's meat market that has anything you could possibly want. Sushi grade Ahi Tuna? Japanese A5 Waygu? Great seafood, poultry, and meats. Service is phenomenal and they will cut it they way you want it. Advise you how to cook and season it. Love their Deli too....try their Home roasted Turkey sandwich.....drool.
I stepped in and I felt transported back before my time inside this supermarket. Looks a supermarket appearing in a classic movie which makes this place charming. I was impressed by their grocery selections which is more on the modern side. A good place to grab groceries or a meal.
