Some very good items and convenient but take a peek at use by date particularly if item is on sale. Olive oil special was past use by date by 5 months. Rather than move product to a low quality rack revealing item was potentially suspect they just left on shelf - caveat emptor. read more

We always enjoy shopping there and the customer service. Great option if you don't want to leave the island (we trek all the way from Longport!). We can always count on someone friendly to help us out. We've never been disappointed in anything we purchased and the quality is present and you get what you pay for. Happy to have the place and encourage more folks to support it. We don't need another "chain" store to replace it. Thank you again for all you do! read more

You expect higher prices at the Shore, but Casel's takes it to the point of criminality. They used to give you more for that premium, but they got rid of the terrific bakery counter, they got rid of the sliced-to-order fish and deli. So what's left? A crowded store with a surly, unfriendly manager where everything is priced AT LEAST 50% to 100% higher (or more) than your regular supermarket. I gave it two stars (instead of one) because it is still the only place nearby where you can get some of that stuff, but $15/lb for cream cheese? $14/lb for olives? $8/lb for tomatoes? $55/lb for salmon? These are the prices in 2024. read more

Casel's Supermarket - $15/pound for cream cheese - Grocery Near Me - Margate City, New Jersey

I set my daughter to buy a loaf of sourdough bread, she came home with a half of of sourdough bread. Problem being, there's only four slices of bread for $4.49. read more

Down to one star. Had to go in an emergency and my ratings are always generous. Not this joint. It's such an abuse of the locals because of their location it's shameful. I get it, a lot of people in the area don't care about any of this but some of us do! We work hard for our money. read more

Nice supermarket in Margate. Prices a little on high end but deals are to be had each week! Meats and fish department very good and they also carry lesser known healthy brands. read more

I am a native of Margate and always remember Casels, it's the BEST store on the island. The sales are outstanding and some items are cheaper than Acme off shore! yes it's true! I am grateful to have such a convenience and there Turkey off the bone is a weekly with my fam! it's worth paying alittle more to have such a quality market on the island! Myself & my friends would be lost without them!! Ilene ( Winokur) Matthews read more

A good local store that should be better. Deli and smoked meats are very good. Their meat and fish departments are mediocre at best. No better than an ACME. They need to Improve their meats and fresh fish areas as well as their pre made food areas. Margate is an upscale area. They should be more upscale. A suggestion. Go tour Arnies Gourmet Market in Cherry Hill. Their meats and fish are spectacular. That is what Casels should be. Please. read more

It's overpriced but has just about everything from prepared foods to some local NJ produce with a selection of fresh seafood to grill. Plus - this place is literally around the corner from me... so you cannot bear convenience in terms of walking, grabbing a Starbucks and picking up some potato salad for the beach day. 1) they have kosher products if u need it 2) lots of decent bakery items 3) good produce selection 4) always scallops and salmon 5) lots of prepared bbq food like coleslaw, tuna, etc read more

Apparently, the people who run Casel's are afraid of the truth. Because I wrote about their ridiculous prices and, poof! the review disappears. Back to prices.... Anything on the deli and dairy side of the store? Buyer beware! They sell Kozy Shack rice pudding for $3.09/lb. But if they make it themselves? $11.99/lb. I worked my way thru college working in supermarkets. From wagon boy, to deli server, to asst. manager. Yes store made (NOT "homemade") typically costs a bit more. Why? It's a cultural or psychological thing, I think because when you consider the fact that stores buy the raw materials by the truckload, it costs less to make than to buy. Just like for us people at home who pay retail for the fixings. Add a dash of labor, but then again, the commercial product includes labor too. But almost 4 times the price? I've never seen it anywhere else. The deli counter? In all my years in the stores, sliced turkey breast was the "queen" of the deli case, bringing in the highest price amongst high volume staple products. Of course some specialty items, especially if they are imported will cost more. Certainly it NEVER should cost less than the highly processed Hebrew National salami. But that's exactly the case in Casel's. $23.99/lb for HN salami ($1 more if you want it BBQ style) up,$2/lb from last year. All the turkey products - including the store made off the bone variety which is typically expensive - cost a few dollars less per lb. And here is the kicker....they sell the exact same product as a "stubbie" in their cold case - you just have to slice it for $12/lb or so. I asked the guy behind the counter why they have such a crazy price differential. He said "people pay"...... Let's be clear - we aren't talking about artisanal Italian imported or style salami. We are talking about what's identical to the wrapped in plastic and hung from the wall on j-hooks. Let that sink in. Almost $24/lb for highly processed salami. I've checked a random selection of supermarkets and haven't found that reversed situation in any. Lots of stuff in the deli counter are extremely high priced, especially the smoked fish. For example - kippered salmon salad? $30/lb and much of it is mayonnaise. Bottom line? Casel's is fine for a pinch, an emergency or just plain convenience. You will get quality products there for sure. But you will pay dearly for it. read more

I have given them thousands of dollars of business over 35 years time and the other day I spent money buying their wonderful chicken salad and it was bad. I called and told them and I brought it back next day the sale had ended so they gave me the money I paid and told me oh well I can't get the new stuff at that price. I thought that was wrong. read more

The cashier was extremely rude. I didn't hear her ask for my Casel's card, and when she told me the total I realized that I didn't get my discount. When I asked if she could re-ring me up with my discount, she hemmed and hawed and blamed me for not hearing. her. Terrible experience. Customers shouldn't be treated that way. read more

I shop at Casel's frequently. It's pricey, but the food is of a high quality and the staff is always helpful. I consistently enjoy a positive shopping experience at Casel's. read more

Fresh food always a pleasure. The service is first class. The supermarket is very clean and everyone is always friendly and helpful

Great local family owned supermarket in Margate NJ. Has a great deli and bakery section and fresh produce.

Great all around local market. Good selection of everyday items, especially those you forgot.

I grew up in Atlantic City and Casel's was a regular visit. My father loved the wine-cheese spread and I liked their rice pudding. Yesterday, I returned there for the first time in many years. Needed to pick up some salads. Went to the packaged deli section and found three types of slaw. They had one thing in common. They were all priced at $8.99/lb! How in the world do they get away with this absurdity? Apparently, they have a mostly blind clientele that are unable to read the price stickers. If not, their customers all flunked basic math because they are willing to pay more than DOUBLE and in some cases TRIPLE the market price for this item. Just for shitz and giggles, I reached for the "Casel's original rice pudding". That was $9.99/lb. Maybe I slipped through a time portal at Casel's because these must be the prices 75 years from now. read more

Good things come in small packages and Casel's is the epitome of this old adage. Their deli section, bakery and meat department alone are worth the trip. Here's what's not worth the trip. I like markets with big, long aisles and for good reason. Grunting out a hot, steamy growler at the halfway point in a long aisle gives you time to bolt for the other end when another shopper enters from the opposite end. Not quite as effective as the elevator exit fart, but pretty close. Do this with your wife when she's at the midway point in the aisle, and time it right so another shopper is close by right after the assault and you've got a real fun time. But noooo. Not at Casel's. There's no running from your gastric masterpiece in their short as shit aisles. I tried. Halfway into a short aisle and totally busted by another shopper who sneakily sauntered up on me from where I thought was the safe end of the aisle. Anyway, not much fun to be had here if you're gonna crop dust, but they do have an awesome bakery, deli and meat dept. Their ready to eat deli delights are pretty awesome too. If you do get busted, there's an awesome high-end liquor store across the street. Bail and go shopping for booze as your wife does her thing. Casel's. A strong recommend. read more

It's a margate staple if you love pasta salad. Their pre made food section is the best you can find at any market.

It's convenient. That's it. Overpriced. Unfriendly. Cashiers dismissive. Zero customer service. Go to Acme or ShopRite for a better customer experience, price and selection. Example: I've shopped there out of necessity for a decade. So they have a drawing (allegedly) for some free thing or discount if you drop a small dupe of your receipt in a a plastic box at the exit. The funny thing is, I had seen that box at the exit for years but didn't know what it was so I asked someone. They told me. Here's the point: in the hundreds of times I had been at Casel's NOT ONCE has any cashier ever told me to drop the receipt in the box for a free drawing. It must be an inside joke. Terrible customer service. read more

This will definitely be my last visit. Ordered dinner for the holiday...not too hard to prepare, but thought better of it since we are only 2 people this year. Ordered brisket(way too fatty), matzoh ball soup( just vile, grainy matzoh balls), gefilte fish( wished it had been from a jar). The accompanying vegetables-spinach(very bad) and fresh steamed vegetables(no taste whatsoever)would have been better left out.. the only eatable item was the noodle kugal. Very sad state of affairs. And, the final indignity...pumpkin pie...who serves pumpkin pie for the end of a Rosh Hashanah dinner???. Having recently purchased their prepared food for a quick dinner last week, I should have known better. The quality of food is horrendous. Lesson learned. read more

Great local market. Convenient and wonderful friendly staff. Nice sale prices and fresh. Pleasure! read more

Everything you need with a great family atmosphere. Great cold cuts and cheese selection. Bagels and bread are above average. Kids tell you where to check out! Hometown market. read more

Fresh and fantastic! I love the selections of anything and everything you need for a delicious meal. Deli foods, meats, vegetables, drinks and specialty items. This little neighborhood grocery has it all! Do not miss the homemade bakery items and a bag of sticky buns! read more

Amazing hidden gem supermarket. My wife went in for the first time and loved it. She thought it was amazing great selection of meats.

Locally owned supermarket. Higher prices, but worth it. Great in store prepared meals. Outstanding deli and baked goods. On site butcher.

Clean, friendly supermarket. Especially enjoyed my interaction with Miller, a kind young man who helped me locate the black beans with a smile nonetheless. This is my go to place in the summer. read more

You get what you pay for. You'll definitely pay more here but they 100% deliver on the quality from the fresh produce to the butcher meats to the artisanal cheeses and breads. read more

It's just okay. I wasn't happiest when I found a piece a blue plastic in my chicken salad that I got at the deli one day, other than that the kids like the bakery items and everything else seems to be good there but it will not be my go to place first. read more

PRICE GOUGING. I've been going there for years and am a local. About half the items I bought were slightly high which is usual for Casel's. But some items were ridiculously high for essentials like eggs, dairy and frozen veggies. Very sour about the store now. AND DONT CLAIM THE SUPPLIER RAISED THE PRICE THAT HIGH! read more

I'm torn on how to rate the place. I've been coming to Casel's for the better part of 30 years now and have always thought the prices are astronomical. But I have yet to find things that year after year after year when I come down for a visit make feel as comfortable as the first time I've walked through the door. I am a shoobie at heart and really rely on the prepared foods here. I don't think I've ever touched the unprepared foods. But the quality does speak for itself. I can't deny the best turkey breast I've ever had from a deli and consistently has tasted the same year after year resides right there in the deli case. The shrimp salad and cole slaw are also some of my favorite items. The cheese danish are also pretty awesome. The bread...rye bread and hoagie rolls always fresh and the wall of rolls, specifically the onion rolls and egg twists rolls are off the charts and I always wind up taking home an extra half dozen. The Hawaiian corned beef and bbq salami and cooper's sharp American cheese are also some of my go to items from the deli counter. If you want a sandwich, they are extremely generous in the portions too. Thankfully this place is here for when I come visit the shore. I just know my wallet is gonna moan and groan, but my tummy smiles, literally smiles. read more

What a great deli with excellent salads and deli items. Fresh breads and nice little selection of gourmet items. Nice produce and fruits

If you want the best bread ever, shop right here, for the all-grain loaf. It's so delicious that I have them shipped to me by the dozens! They make the best gift to give to friends as well! Once you try it, you'll never eat any other bread! Plus, the people who work there, are very polite, courteous and friendly! Francine Rogers Boca Raton, FL read more

I hadn't been to Casel's Supermarket since....1963!!!!! My family moved to northern N.J. when I 13 years old. Eventually I moved to California in the 70's and decided to visit Atlantic City to see where I grew up. Buddy Casel and family lived down the street from us. Walking into Casel's after all those years flooded my head with wonderful memories of my childhood. Of course there were many changes in the store. All for the best! I loved the layout and the quality of the food and groceries were top notch. read more

I've shopped there for years. I just got back from Florida. It's not the same. I understand they can't have people crowded around the deli due to covid, but the pre sliced deli stuff tastes stale. The place is poorly laid out and it feels dirty. I'm throwing away the turkey I bought yesterday it's all dried out and I don't want to return it. Never going back. read more

Consistently the absolute best place for everything ! Especially the trays. You've never seen a more generous beautiful professional impressive tray of anything. Whether it be fish or lunch meat sandwiches. Even cookies and mini danish and dessert are unsurpassed ! We only use casels for trays for parties , funerals , and any special occasion. The trays are so freaking good they can make a funeral a happy place to be ! Thank you again ! We had another amazing experience at casels I just had to share. We forgot one bag of lunch meat , and I called to see if anyone perhaps found said bag. No one found the bag, but Lisette generously issued us a store credit for the items that we forgot to take. Thank you again read more

This grocery store is located in a beach town which is very busy in the summer. Surprise? You would think so based on the amount of stock this place keeps on their shelves. It is impossible to rely on Casel's to get the things I need in order to take care of my family. Everything is severely overpriced and fresh produce is clearly on first come first served basis. Which means all the shoobies who are on vacation get first pick and nothing left for the people who live here year round and actually have to work for a living. read more

Great selection of healthy groceries and prepared food choices. Employees that care. Has the feel of a family run store. Very clean and organized. Great to find this place in the Atlantic City area. read more

Very cute and clean! Nice selection of products along with a few unique finds. We appreciated the selection of vegetarian-vegan products. Will definitely return if we need anything else while staying in Ventnor. read more

Very well stocked and to-be-expected higher prices than inland markets in Northfield. Good deli and smoked fish offerings, again at top prices. No ingredient lists on prepared foods, nor readily available to staff so, if you have food intolerances, it's buyer beware. Small but good fresh fish selection, with helpful staff. (Practically next door to superb chocolatier Jagielky's which is a bonus the inland markets don't have.) Free parking lot and street parking. Bring a cooler for perishables. read more
