CJ's Evergreen General Store

We were at the park across the street and my nephew fell HARD on the slide. It immediately swelled. We headed to Cj's and she took care of us like family. A free ice pack and some kind words. We were extremely appreciative. We came back for some delicious ice cream and sat and played tic tac toe. This store is open year round. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Cj's!

Has a great Cappuccino here! The staff was friendly and the vibe was peaceful, reminding me of little towns on the East coast. I am so happy there is a coffee shop by the park. come and support local stores and our community :)

With people looking to eat local food from local small businesses it can be a bit difficult to find those diamonds out there. CJ's is one of those diamonds.The store itself carries a variety of general store items but what really makes them stand out are the amazing selection of quality, healthful foods cooked with love and frozen for your convenience.There is fresh food including sandwiches and soups but when it comes to "what am I going to have for dinner tonight" it is the freezer case that shines. I have enjoyed the enchiladas, the Moroccan meatballs and the myriad of soups. It was the Senegalese soup this eve with chicken quesadillas that I made. What a wonderful dinner on a cold, frosty night.Another item they carry is their roast carrot and fennel hummus. It isn't always in stock because it is in high demand but there is a reason for that. If you like hummus, you will love this creation that goes as well with breakfast as it does for dinner.We will all have better lives if we take care of ourselves and our neighbors and finding the local foodie geniuses who are out there plying their trade for the benefit of all makes life a lot more enjoyable!

A wonderful "corner grocery" across the street from Bremerton's Evergreen Park. Very handy for summer ice cream cones. Good espresso-stop. Very down-home old-timy mood to the place. Although the groceries per se are not stocked in depth and it's not quite a "general" corner grocer for all your quick-stop needs beyond the most sought milk or eggs, much of what it carries is unusual and often very great: a variety of regional/local food products, home-made frozen meals, freshly-made ready-to-eat food items and sandwiches made to order. The place has changed owners a couple of times over the years, but the women running it now seem truly on top of things. If they ever sell off the place and move on they'll be missed.

The ladies working there (owners? I'm not sure) definitely always seemed on the uptight/standoffish side pretty much every time I'd go in there. And they'd always have some odd choice of person working as the ice cream scooper (unfriendly, or really slow moving, etc).As you can imagine this being a convenience store and all, the prices leave a LOT to be desired. But they do have cheap/really good ice cream which is the only reason my gf & I would come here in the past. And the cute little outdoor seating facing the park across the street really helps.Overall we were happy to have CJ's only a couple blocks away when we lived in Bremerton.

A step back in time - about 40 years.Cute little market with intelligent choices for what they carry - just about anything you could need at the amazing Evergreen park across the street but forgot at home.They also run a ice cream and deli tucked into a small little corner. I haven't tried the ice cream yet, but the sandwiches were pretty dang good. Imagine if you had time to make yourself an amazing sandwich at home - that's what you get here.Also of note, the store seems to carry a lot of locally produced items - the ice cream is made locally, they carried Hummingbird sodas made in Silverdale, and signs show that they sell whole local milk on a weekly basis.Docked one star for price/value on the sandwiches, and the speed at which they were made, but it's really worth checking out.

The owner is so friendly! They make your egg salad and tuna to order like all of the other sandwiches, whatever you want in it they add it in right there. The deli is very clean, they carry local made food items. Ice cream and homemade pies available. Catering too!The store is conveniently located across from the Evergreen park.

I bought milk here here for 4.5 months. Until I started being allergic to the milk. We called ahead and told them we didn't want to order milk this week and will not be ordering milk anymore we are taking a break from it.They replied that they hadn't ordered the milk yet, which they do on Fridays, so we called just in time to cancel. We call next friday just to make sure sure everything is fine, and they tell us that they ordered us 5 more milk gallons. Now we have to pay for 5 gallons even though we don't even plan on picking it up or drinking it...I will update if anything else changes.

CJ's is a quaint local store that has things you don't find everywhere. They have the best pies!! We recently won one of their pies at a dessert auction. It was all we could do to not finish it in one sitting. It was a deep dish berry pie with an amazing crust. They are the berry best!! Not just for pies, but ice cream, to go frozen meals!

Staff is rude and pushy. If I want to be treated that way I wouldn't go to a business. In business to serve? Not this place!
