I have been a customer for a very long time but not happy with them anymore twice within the last couple of weeks the people at the register were not friendly no hell thank you or even a smile. Once Rouses opens around the corner on Florida Blvd I will be going there till then Albertsons .it's a shame

What a lovely find in Baton Rouge! I was looking for a place to pick up lunch, the muffuletta was delicious! Quaint little deli carved into this family style grocery store. I could have spent hours in this little gem. Make sure you pick up some of the olive salad, labeled with the Calandro's name. The best around.

I have always enjoyed my shopping experiences. Last time I shopped was quite excited to see several individuals that are in my realm of my lifestyle!

I went in to pick up some english muffins, and i couldn't find them until one of your employees helped me out. Thank you Aubrey! I appreciate the friendly service i always receive at Calandro's.

You really never can go wrong with Calandro's. A Baton Rouge staple for decades, this is a great place to find all sorts of unique beer and wine, and some amazing deserts. Known for their delicious and diverse king cakes, they have all sorts of treats and special items. If they don't have it, they can usually order it as well. I was searching for a unique beer to bring some friends, and they have one of the largest and most unique selections in the state. The list of beers is growing every week as well. It's almost overwhelming all the different types, but hey, just go back and get another kind later! Their chicken salad is probably the best in town. It has flavor and larger pieces of chicken, so it's not a spread like others in town. Their pimento spread is great for parties as well. They have tons of different cheeses and olives and different Calandros brand goodies. Their produce is always fresh and reliable. They don't tend to cater to special diets, so if you have special dietary needs or restrictions, you may have to go to another store for those. But by nature, you can find items that will work for you. Top all of that with friendly owners, friendly staff, and friendly people all around, and it always makes an enjoyable shopping experience!

Look no further for King Cakes during Mardi Gras season! This place has every flavor and then some. On my most recent visit I had to stop by on my way home and bring back at least 3 different flavors of King Cake!

Rating is specifically for local beer selection- White lights night introduced us to this place and we pretty much only go to grab beer but they have the best selection of obscure breweries! I also bought a king cake from here once, they are known for how many different flavors they have including some boozy ones! :)

I took a chance on ordering a birthday cake from here because I wanted a one-stop-shop for party trays and birthday cake. (I didn't know anything about their bakery, which is why I say I was taking a chance.) The party trays were good but I must tell you about the cake, which was absolutely delicious! I always turn down offers for cake at parties because I don't have a sweet tooth anymore, but I tasted this one just to see how it turned out since I had ordered it for all the guests and I ended up eating not only one but two pieces as did others!! Everyone was raving how delicious it was and someone asked where I got it. I had ordered the yellow cake with chocolate icing and just expected something mediocre but it was the best yellow cake/chocolate icing I've ever eaten in my life. It was not too sweet--and the flavor and texture was perfect.

My wife was in Baton Rouge and upon the recommendation of the SE Louisiana Beer Group I asked her to drop by here to pick up some single cans of beer for me. She informed me that that they had three different IPA's from Equilibrium Brewery for $7.99 each. She purchased one of each. When she got home I checked the canning dates and they were all April...of 2019! Will not shop or recommend a place that sells year-old IPA's, especially at $8. Caveat Emptor, I guess.

Thank you for being so well stocked and having everything we needed! Your staff was just as great and helpful as they always are. Also, thank you for having the special hours for most at-risk too.

I just wanna start by saying Calandro's has THE Best beer selection out of any grocery store in Baton Rouge. I'm a beer guy so I find that they have something new I wanna try all the time, literally the only place that might top their selection is their other location haha. Calandro's is a fantastic local grocery store that carries all the essentials such as frozen foods, produce, snacks, meats, booze, and even a billion flavors of King cake as well as much more! They even have hot lunches at lunch time throughout the week! They represent the definition of a local grocery store with local items being sold there as well as the purple and gold tortilla chips you see on clip strips as well for game day snacks. The staff is extremely nice and helpful which is hard to find at some grocery stores but friendliness is never not found at Calandro's. Overall most grocery stores are just stores to me but there are few that stand out that I always enjoy going to no matter what day it is and Calandro's is one of them !
