McCaffrey’s West Windsor

This store is truly a wonderful shopping experience! People are so friendly, kind and courteous (I know all of those words are pretty much synonyms of each other but I really mean it that much)! I stopped in to Mccaffreys today around 11:30am to pickup 4 things– guacamole, eggs, crushed tomatoes and soup for lunch. I was with my 9 month old daughter so I wanted to get in and out. I walked over to the produce section where they sell guacamole and a kind gentleman working in the produce department said hello to me, asked if i needed help finding anything and then complimented my daughter and then offered to give her a free banana! He handed it to her (with my permission, of course) and my baby was happy as a clam for the rest of the shopping trip! I then walked over to the prepared foods section to pickup my soup. I put together two containers of soup for myself but didn’t have anywhere to put them (I didn’t have a cart, was just using my daughters stroller basket as a cart) and another employee working in prepared foods offered to help me carry my soups to the register! Then once I got up to the register the cashier (Karen) was so nice! She asked me what my name was and what my daughters name was and then proceeded to acknowledge both of us by our names the rest of the time while we were checking out! All in all this was such a positive shopping experience I will officially be shopping this store more often! Thank you for setting an example for how all retail establishments should treat their customers! You made food shopping enjoyable!

Last week, I ordered one plain and one mushroom pizza pies and Italian sub sandwiches (10 inches) for my daughter’s group project dinner. The pizza was 18 inches big and the crust tasted really yummy. But the mushroom toppings were not generous. The sandwiches were tasty with good quality bread. The quality of pizza and sandwich were better than near by pizza and sandwich shops and cheaper.

This high end grocery store has everything you need. The prices are above average (overpriced), but the quality of goods and services are too.
I come here almost everyday to make Redbox movie rentals and returns (the Redbox is indoors though by the fresh fruit section).
I also tend to buy a fruit bowl along with my movies — the fruit is always pre-​cut, fresh & perfectly ripened with watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, blueberries, pineapples & grapes!
The store itself is extremely clean with modern details, and more accommodations than most normal grocery stores. When this location first opened back in the 90’s, I was amazed by its innovative ideas (back then supermarkets didn’t usually have two floors, dining areas, buffets, and so on).
Most of the workers are professional, polite and helpful, though I ran into one grumpy old lady who was pretty rude! Maybe she had a bad day…
Anyways… There’s various hot, ready-​made food buffets (Chinese, Italian, sushi, etc.) where you can grab a bite to eat to go. Or if you want, you can go upstairs to their large dining area and eat your meal. It’s decent tasting food (Americanized), but nothing amazing, and overpriced too. There’s also a delicious bakery, where everything is freshly baked and a deli as well.
If you’re a smoker, McCaffrey’s sells cigarettes by the customer service (although it’s more pricey than convenient stores — $ 7+). However, they don’t sell cigars.

Stopped in on my way home. Supermarket is nice and bright. It’s definitely a different feel shopping here than at Shoprite. And although Shoprite is usually cheaper on a number of items, they make up a lot of it in customer service and quality. Tomatoes on the vine were $ 1.49 a pound. They also have a good selection of seafood and «heat and serve» type dishes. When I checked out, I realized I didn’t have a store card, and the cashier was nice enough to run over to customer service to swipe a card for me to get some discounts.

MCaffrey’s has got the goods people!
This high quality, up scale, supermarket has everything from frozen foods, to holiday cards, to a delicious deli and wonderful bakery. If you decide that you’re getting a little hungry while you’re shopping, stop by their hot food section and pick up a fresh meal. Take it upstairs to their dining area and enjoy a quiet meal before continuing on your way.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and I’ve never had a problem returning anything or even using expired coupons. This is simply a well-​run supermarket stocked with great options.
The only reason I couldn’t give it a 5-​Star rating is because the store is a little pricey. But hey, you get what you pay for.

I LOVE THIS STORE!!! Yes some of the prices are a littel steeper than some supermarkets but I’ll gladly pay for the quality and the service. The store is clean, bright and organized. Not to mention that the prepared foods looked delicious. You can tell that a lot of care and time goes into the store.

I had to be in Princeton Junction for a few hours waiting for my son to finish a sporting event. I brought a cooler with me thinking that if I can get grocery shopping done as well that would be great. A fellow competitor pointed me to McCaffrey’s. I’ll be pining for McCaffrey’s when I am back home in Cranford shopping at Kings. The prices are not Costco but certainly not unreasonable and that’s the price you pay for the pleasant environment. The mix of merchandise felt almost more «curated» then just thrown on the shelf by what the big companies want you to sell. For example:
I have been looking for Rao’s marinade. Plenty of stores carry the marinara sauce but not the marinade.
Kleenex hand towel that comes in a self dispensing box. It’s a nice alternative for the guest bathroom.
We love the salad dressing when we go out for sushi and McCaffrey’s had two really nice ones.
Salad greens. They had two big bags of super greens for $ 5. They consist of spinach, chard & bok choy.
This store made me excited about groceries and after 20+ years of running a household that’s pretty hard to do. There are four stores in the NJ, PA area.

Used to stop by here for lunch often. The hot foods were good, but for the price, definitely not worth it. Sushi wise, you could pay the same amount elsewhere and get much better. The americanized chinese food was pretty decent but everything else was very average. The only good thing about this place is that there is variety. Also, the groceries are very over-​priced as well.

I have a soft spot for McCaffrey’s. It’s huge, clean and they have pretty solid produce which is really all I ask for. They’ve also got a good selection of frozen and non-​frozen vegetarian meals and a pretty varied cheese section.
