“I usually stop here every morning on my way to work to pick up a soda and lottery tickets. Very nice staff very friendly. Store is nice and clean and has one of the things a lot of stores don't carry anymore, cans of soda!!! For all you climate change people aluminum cans are much more recyclable than plastic bottles.”
“Stopped in the new ShopRite of nutley today and I will say they did a great job on the store itself but it’s the same old ShopRite. Went in for one eggplant and they had six all rotten. How do you leave them on the shelf and I also noticed isles are a little tighter. Nothing new other than the store. I must say I was in your store and wanted to congratulate you for bringing in a quality product. The addition of Bell & Evan’s chicken products is the best. Thank you for that.”
“I love visiting Dry Good Refillery every month. Not only is it helping reduce my waste, but I swear the spices are more fresh and makes my cooking more delicious. Not to mention the staff is always friendly. Don't forget to ask about their tofu.”
“the freshest produce & amazing variety. you can tell they’re very selective about the quality of produce they sell. plus they make their own kimchii!! support this incredible family business!”
“Great Indian grocery store with a really good selection of fresh vegetables, spices, snacks, frozen foods, and everyday Indian essentials. The store is well stocked, organized, and the prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and helpful, and it’s easy to find almost everything you need for Indian cooking in one place. Definitely a convenient and reliable place for Indian groceries. Highly recommend!”
“The best homemade food every day @ Martino’s 107 Lodi st in Hackensack Nj Come in and enjoy some of our Italian cuisine Mamma Concetta and daughter Lena cooking 😋😋😋 🫶🏼”
“This shop is kind of niche, but they over-deliver when it comes to quality. The staff is knowledgeable and I will definitely be back. They just saved my dinner party.”
“A famous local and favorite Polish butcher shop and grocery store in The metropolitan area of New Jersey. The best Polish butcher shop I've ever been to. Their sandwiches are amazing, their meat products are always fresh. I recommend the kielbasa sandwich or hot pastrami sandwich.”
“I went to La Bodega today and got the ribs & goat and it was AMAZING! The staff was extremely friendly the food came out fresh and quick. We also got the tres leche coffee it was INCREDIBLE. Will definitely come back for their breakfast menu next :)”
“Compared to the Clifton TJ's, this store is 1000x better! The layout is so spacious and doesn't at all fit into the cramped TJ's stereotypes. The parking lot is also a dream – lots of spaces and not at all crowded, even on a weekend. I was carrying a bunch of items and a super friendly employee approached me with a basket since he noticed I was looking for one. I will definitely be returning to this TJ's, even if it isn't the closest one to my house. It's worth it!”
“Great shopping experience every time. Always very fresh variety of excellent organic food of all kinds, cleaned, well organized store layout. Plus friendly service at the cash registers, where they always bag the food for you, and do a great job to make it easy to carry hone.”
“Haven’t been able to go to Terri Lee in Maywood, NJ for quite a while due to medical reasons. This shop is a one-stop destination for all your favorite Asian groceries, offering great quality at “very reasonable prices”. The owner is lovely and provides excellent service—if it’s hard to find, you’ll find it here! Every Saturday features a fantastic selection of familiar street food, fresh produce, dried goods, and kitchenware. I highly recommend supporting this wonderful business. Photo is missing lots of frozen favorite food, it’s in my fridge. I’ll definitely be back! Choke dee na ka!”
“Came here for a sandwich Monday morning right before 9am; school in session.. maybe like 3 or 4 people in front of me but didnt wait for much. Amazing service and even better food. Would def come back”
“Hands down my new favorite local grocery store! I love the selection, the lighting, the organization and store layout. The staff is super friendly and attentive without being pushy. Thank you for this store.”
“Wanted to try this place for a while and I came by to grab pita chips and hummus today and both were great. I will be back soon as it’s so hard to find good hummus in stores!”
“I've been coming to Blue Star Pure Water in Belleville, NJ for the past three years, and I can't say enough great things about this place. The store is always spotless, and every visit is a pleasant experience. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the owner, Erick, truly goes above and beyond to make every customer feel welcomed. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. I've personally seen him help people carry their water out to their cars with a smile, and that level of service is hard to find these days. The team is always fast, efficient, and organized. Once they know the type of water you need, they have you taken care of in no time. Even when the store is busy, don't let the line fool you—they keep things moving, and you're usually in and out in less than 10 minutes. It's rare to find a business that consistently delivers excellent customer service, quality products, and a welcoming atmosphere, but Blue Star Pure Water does exactly that. They've earned my loyalty over the past three years, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great-tasting water and exceptional service. Keep up the fantastic work!”

“This wine and spirits store is a hidden gem! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and always happy to help you find the perfect wine or spirit for any occasion. They have an impressive selection of Italian, French, and other international wines, as well as a wide range of spirits and beers. Whether you're looking for a bottle of wine for a dinner party, or stocking up on beer for a game night, ShopRite Wines & Spirits of Clifton has you covered. They also offer catering, party platters, and gift baskets for special occasions. I highly recommend stopping by to check out their amazing selection.”
“I wanted to compliment my cashier today Shel ..:I was carrying 5 items because I had only run in for 1 thing and didn’t grab a basket . He stopped ringing up the customer in front of me, pulled out the wooden tray and took the items from me . This was going above and beyond in customer service ! Thank you for making my day . (I did apologize to the customer for delaying her time at the register )”

“This place is such a gem in Communipaw. They don’t advertise their sandwiches as much as they should though! If you’re getting off the light rail station at Liberty State park you’d be doing yourself a disservice to miss out on these fire Sammies. The Calabrian salsa they use as a spread should be jarred up and sold at scale”
“Great coffee, best espresso in town! And great conversations with great people. Coffee is sacred and should be enjoyed in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere with like minded people. Enjoy!”
“The best winery in my area, everything fresh, the sandwiches are the best and the customer service is A+ because they are super friendly, I recommend them 100%!!”
“My wife wanted me to bring her here. I really didn’t know what to expect, I thought it was a knickknack type of store. I was surprised that it was a supermarket. They had a variety of different types of food. You can find what the other stores don’t have.”
“I am big on customer service and this is what keeps me coming back. Every single employee I encounter is always willing to help. The quality of the groceries and prices are an added level of greatness.”
“Not from the area first time here ordered a bacon egg no cheese(lactose intolerant) The roll was delicious/ fresh as they let me pick it out myself and my sandwich was great. I’ll definitely come back if I’m in the area.”

Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country. The grocer also took first place in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's 2026 supermarket rankings. It has held a spot near the top of that list for years.
Target is rolling out its most ambitious store overhaul in more than ten years, with plans to remodel over 130 locations and open 30 new stores across the country this year. The retailer is also putting money into supply chain technology upgrades to keep pace with how shoppers buy today.
