Very cool concept. Our first visit. Not at all like a big box grocery store. This store is quaint and very well designed and decorated. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. They carry a good selection of groceries, meats, fish, breads, pastries, wines, etc, but in smaller quantities and without the many many duplicate choices that you'll find in a typical grocery store. Kinda felt a bit European to me. What really impressed me was the vast selection of specialty imported, mini and standard sized holiday chocolates and confections, which added to the European feel. Many items are priced well but others will set you back. We were hosting friends for dinner and needed chicken breasts. Paid $7.99 a pound, but in return, the freshness and high quality and uniform sizing were spot on. You won't waste your time if you go at least once to experience "something different". UPDATE DEC 31 2020: It’s New Year’s Eve and time to go out in style. Bought two HUGE beef tenderloins at AJ’s this morning and they’re gonna hit the grill just minutes from now. 2020 was a challenge for us all and we’re happy to move on.

I'm rating AJ's boulangerie (bakery) here. Although the pastries look good, they're mediocre and overpriced. People who have never tasted the real French croissants or pastries won't know the difference, but see for yourself what AJ's almond croissant looks like--ridiculous. Also I have noticed that the male staff that's involved in cooking has their hair and beards uncovered, which is not hygienic. AJ Fine Foods needs to do something about this. 2 years later.... Now that the Covid established itself everywhere, the masks are on. Yet the pastries haven't changed much. The croissants are made with partially hydrogenated oils that kill your heart. Want to feel that oil in your palette? Take a bite, hold it in your mouth with your mouth closed and teeth apart and inhale.. The taste of palm oil is there. Why can't the baker use butter, like the French?

AJ's how I love thee. Your selection of items that just can't be found elsewhere always impresses and astounds me. From the 200+ marinades and sauces, to the 40 different aioli, to the nearly 100 balsamic and olive oil varieties. The wonderful selection of craft beers, wines and liquors. The beautiful cheese variety, fresh sushi bar, and make your own salad section. Don't forget the delightful amount of soaps, incense, and astounding floral department. All the prices are fair and the store is as much fun to window shop as it is to actually take home and try all the wonderful flavors. The outdoor cafe is a favorite brunch spot for locals. Highly recommend this location of AJ's especially.
