Circle Food Store

A week ago, I decided to do my shopping at the Historic Circle Food Store, not only was it a good decision, but it turned out to be a great decision. I know what Alice felt like when she walked into Wonderland, my eyes couldn't spread any wider than they did. OH MY GOD! There were baskets ready for you to start the trip around the store. There was everything you could ever need, down to chips and pickles. Everything you need for Naw'lins style gumbo. Everything for po'boys and every Saugages snd cheeses you could think of, meats of all sorts and poultry. There's everything for baby's needs, there's a pharmacy, there's libations that start at the low end and all that you need at the high end. I didn't have enough legs and arms to get it all. The meat dept was great, I was waited on by Shawn ( I call him green-mile) what a kind giant! On my way home I couldn't wait to taste the cold cuts, you may have noticed me at the light signal gobbling down the deliciousness and freshness of my purchase. The store has lighting to die for, you know some of us have sight like Mr. MaGoo, whaat you say! The isles and shelves are fully stocked. All the departments are stocked in order. There are great sales within the store and and a flyer at the door. The patrons are diverse and friendly with each other. I also met Georgo who is readily very available to see that your needs are met and there's also Meg at the checkout, fast and accurate. It's almost as though Circle Food Mart went around the city asking everyone what they' wanted in the store. Did I mention fresh fish and shrimp whaaaaaat, oh no, c'mon nah, I'm tellling you Nat'ully naw'lins. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. There's also parking and help with that load of groceries as I needed when leaving. Y'all know from my history I won't let you down. Oh ! And the prices are grrrrrrrrrreat! For you young people on a budget, grandma/pa and teenagers and single people. "MO" hope to see y'all soon.

They don't have a huge selection, but it's not super expensive. I go there when I need basics between trips to Walmart. They do have liquor.

The circle jerk! This is by way the nicest grocery type store your gonna find in the area . We were visiting from outta town . Now they don't have everything but they have enough . We were mostly there for alcohol but I should have did my food items there .I didn't know any better and found savalot first . Savalot is like third world country status .. they had nothing . Like no food , no choices . So it's circle jerk for the win ! Love you circle jerk !

Good selection,Good parking,Large items available, not just small or tiny portions of staples: rice, tissue, water, laundry soap. Like the cashiers and stock peeps.Helpful and honest!

Someone should develop a Web Page that will aloud disable and other people to shop on line Please!,!,!

I often go out of my way to shop at the Circle Store, because it's important to me to support it. It has a hard time staying in business & is on its 2nd set of owners in the past about 5 years, after standing empty for many. I love the building & its history. I like that it supplies a struggling neighborhood with a fairly wide range of groceries, while employing some locals too. It doesn't have everything I need. It's not a Whole Foods. But it has the basics along w a reasonable produce section, assortment of oat/soy/almond milk & good meat department. Give them a try & let's see if we can keep this neighborhood icon in business

best full grocery in town, close to the action. all the basics i wanted plus local fun.

Not like Circle of old, buuuuuuuut glad it's back!!!! Circle often imitated for example Circle H or Circle K... Really #whatthewhat!?!?? But never duplicated; because Circle is an original, a staple, a landmark in the Community & New Orleans at large. Washed out by Hurricane Katrina & recently renovated & re-opened January 2014; Circle Food Store is open for business. Journeying in the store, I was filled with emotions & anticipation of what would fill my eyes upon entry. Different from preKatrina Circle, the space seems smaller, maybe it because it's more organized & detailed, but whatever the reason, #ilikeit. Streamlined check out lanes, a dedicated side counter/bill paying area that appears to handle a barrage of functions; did I see kids toys over yonder? Walking in there's security in place, gives a good feeling. The produce is square front & center; how sweet is that, that helps to encourage #healthyeating. Further back are upright refrigerated units & then to the rear is the meat/deli area. I must admit, the meat/deli area was a little lackluster, but oh well. When I initially walked in, I thought it to be likened to a mini-whole foods store; I only mention it for the sake of comparison. But after perusing the store, that feeling fled & Circle took on and identity of its own. I did notice that the price points were quite moderate. Great for the area. Lots of foot traffic on this day I entered & that's great!!!! I'm glad this facility has been reopened to service the community's grocery needMy one wish is to see Easter Baskets lining the exterior perimeter of the store like days of old.

Only 1 pimiento cheese option....hence the 4 stars. Decent produce and snack options. Was excited to see the specialty beverages like Guanabana Juice. Iconic exterior!

Circle Food Store this is the best store in New Orleans. I would never buy groceries from anywhere else unless they don't have what I want. Great low prices. Great selection of prices. Very well managed. Locally owned no I mean really local. Why would anyone from New Orleans or surrounding area go anywhere else for groceries. Visitors owe it to them selves to see real NO grocery. This is it THE CIRCLEAs it is known.Owe did I mention that I am the owner
