Oliva - Jersey City

I get mushrooms when the farm market is closed, as they are normally fresh. today I followed the loading of one of the hired, as if I were trying to steal something. when I said that I was very unpleasant with the experience and that it was not necessary to shadow the customers, I was hit with a smirk and I did not do that he did clear and did not apologize so that I went and not be back.

They seem to have a very steep mark up on grocery items. Milk that usually cost me $4-5 dollars in Whole Foods and Fresh Direct (not cheap places at all) was $7 here. Same with smallish yogurt. I remember being a little shocked as each item ran through. I think with so many choices in the area, I don’t think I would be back unless it’s a desperate situation.

A little shop that packs a surprising variety of options. A limited selection of meats and fish is balanced out with very reasonable prices, and their wide range of produce is equally well-priced. Dry goods and dairy can run on the expensive side, but they also have a nice large selection of prepared foods (chicken/pasta salads, grilled chicken breasts or salmon filets, olives, veggies, etc) for an on-the-go lunch or dinner. Underrated gem is the octopus salad you can get in a small container. If there's one knock against Olivia's, it's a lack of fresh herbs available for purchase, but that's a problem common to supermarkets in this area too.

Good local convenient neighborhood supermarket. Variety of Turkish products for a small supermarket. Very friendly staff.

The Korean takeout place inside the store has the best kimbob I’ve ever had!
