10/10/23 Update: You can always pickup a variety of wonderful food at Stew Leonard's. They had an array of pies. I was mainly interested, in a pumpkin pie. Unfortunately, I did not see any on display.At the bakery counter, a woman named Monisha assisted me. She told me a pumpkin pie was in the oven. In addition, it would be ready in a few minutes.She told me the pie was $10.99. I was sold! : D(Turned out to be one of the best pumpkin pies I've ever had. The crust was very good too!) Besides the pumpkin pie, I picked up some wonderful pink honey gold pineapple chunks, crystallized ginger and Angus shaved roast beef. Stew Leonard's always has cartoon type characters providing entertainment for all ages. Presently, SL has an outdoor drive through with an array of interesting Halloween characters.Thanks again to Monisha for assistance with the pumpkin pie!

I've been to this location many times I've true years. I feel like it's gone a little bit downhill. They still carry a lot of things and have a great selection of wine and spirits, but you need to know your prices. There's an extremely knowledgeable older gentleman in the wine section in case you get stuck. Overall this store is spacious and the staff is helpful.

When we read that this place was as good as Wegmans, we came with high expectations. We've been to Wegmans many times, both in Fairfax, VA and Montvale, NJ, and this place is no Wegmans. More like A&P.Yeah, they have a large wine section, but very little organic products. Their pre-made food was meh (shrimp cocktail, fried coconut shrimp, spicy tuna salad, steak, and grilled chicken). Whole Foods and Market Basket are so much better in this department.But, the worse experience was dealing with the old, caucasian lady behind the seafood counter last Monday, on Labor Day. She wasn't busy, and I was the only customer waiting. I looked at her, and she basically ignored me for a good 5 minutes. She was obviously in a foul mood. I asked for spicy tuna salad, and she threw down the container violently on the weighing scale. Wow! Still, I said 'thank you', and, I'm not kidding, she hands me the container without a word and with her head and body facing 90 degrees from me. Wow! Don't believe me SL, then go check your video on Labor Day late morning, seafood counter.Never coming back to this POS grocery store.

Ok so Stew Leonard's is a grocery store, they've got all the grocery stuff you generally need (ie. potatoes, meats, boxes of mac and cheese, jars of tomato sauce, gallons of milk). BUT what Stew excels at - and is reallllly why you should visit asap - is their baked goods, hot-foods-to-go section and their wine/liquor selection. Lets review these one by one...Working backwards on that list -- SL's wine/liquor section is unlike any other grocery store wine/liquor section I've seen. It's massive, expansive with wines from alllll over the world and has excellent prices (both liquor and wine). It gives me Trader Joe* vibes with little description cards and staff recommendations which are, from my experience so far, spot on. Note: there is a beer section towards the back end of the store too... which is also pretty great especially if you're into craft beers + that "make your own 6-pack" option. If you're in the Paramus area and need some booze -- please give SL's a try.And while you're picking up said booze you should probably grab something to eat, right? How about a freshly made salad with balsamic glazed chicken, or a meatball 'grinder'**, chicken tenders, mac and cheese (which I haven't tried yet but looks incredibly cheesy), rotisserie chickens, soup, sushi. This last visit I noted an entire 'picnic' area with containers full of {pasta/potato/leafy} salads, pizza. Y'all get the idea, right? They have e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g in this prepared food area.They've also got a selection of delicious looking foods if you're hosting a little get together and need some apps -- ie. like the mini beef patties and chicken cordon bleu balls I picked up for this weekend, just bc. OK, and now we need something sweet -- so lets travel back over to the Bakery at Stew's. Ohmygosh THE BAKERY. We're talking about freshly made apple cider donuts (literally made in front of you), giant cookies***. The rolls... the snowball rolls, y'all. So. Soft. Like how do they even bake them so soft!? The items listed above are a few favs... but they also have cakes galore, fresh bagels (shoutout to the french toast bagels!), croissants, apple sticks, muffins, pies, loaves of freshly baked bread. The list goes on... And so could I. But you should probably go and check out the hype of Stew Leonard's for yourself. This place does not disappoint. * RIP 14th street wine shop, miss you!** grinder = sub/hero/hoagie.*** the reeses pb cup cookies are crazzzy good - I picked up a 4 pack and have yet to share them with my fam, sorry not sorry fam.

Within the last year, I've turned into a super fan of Stew Leonard's. I never knew about this regional grocery chain that began in CT, and over decades made its way into NY and North Jersey. But driving past the Paramus Park Mall and seeing the main entrance giving major farm vibes - this piqued my interest. So one day I went inside and BAM *mind-blown emoji*So I don't do the bulk of my grocery shopping here, but I stop in for select items or to hit up the premade food area during lunch time. I like to browse and look for locally sourced products/items or bakery items. I've found some specialty items not easily found in my main grocery store. Also, they have a pretty extensive alcoholic beverage selection sold here. If you have small kids, there's free entertainment with all the interactive displays throughout the store. Good way to keep them entertained.

Recently discover this amazing supermarket. They have a great selection of groceries, baked goods, and hot foods. The store is super clean and well organized. I love their well priced lobster rolls. They even make them fresh with toasted buns with butter on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays! It's not the cheapest market but I find everything to be decently priced. they have a loyalty program that lets you earn points with your purchases towards soft serve ice cream. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It connected to the Paramus Mall, which can be a little busy on weekends but I've never found it to be very crowded or hard to find parking.

While the trader Joe's a half mile away is packed to the gills, you can waltz into stew Leonard's with no crowds

Stew Leonard's is a bit of a local grocery legend offering an upscale food as hero experience that focuses on outstanding meats, produce and private label products... to say nothing of their outstanding prepared foods.That said, if I lived in the area there's absolutely no way that I would go to the sprawling and chaotic Paramus Park Mall to do my weekly grocery shopping. It's the same reason I wouldn't venture to Yankee Stadium on game day just because there's an excellent Korean BBQ somewhere in the neighborhood.I really loved the store but to make it a weekly destination against traffic patterns that require Fast & Furious reflexes is a form of insanity that I am not willing to embrace.On a practical note, I have no idea what bedlam might await if you had the audacity to need groceries between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. Black Friday seems like a great day to start that diet. Three stars.

I am a Connecticut native and this store brings back memories. It's like Wegmans and Trader Joe's had a baby. They have a lot of meal kits for easy weeknight dinners. Plus loads of fun options like candied nuts, fresh popped popcorn, an ice cream bar and wine & liquor. The place is fun because they have singing animals and lots of statues throughout the store. The people shopping were also very happy and talkative. I picked up some candy pecans, and they are outstanding. As in the best I have had in a long time!
