SCW and I stopped into Jerome's Carmel Valley Market while walking around Carmel post wine tasting. The interior is clean and cozy with the produce off to to the right as you enter. The aisles can be a bit small which I could see being a bit of a pain if there are lots of people in the store. You can pretty much find anything you are looking for here. Albeit not necessarily the same volume as a chain grocery store but everything here seems to be good quality. We found lots of good wine as well. Then we got to the deli. It's pretty impressive with standard items like the various prepared salads (chicken, tuna, etc). We wanted to try the sandwiches and for that you'll need to get the order forms from outside near the entrance, then take them to the counter, wait a bit and they'll call you when it's ready. We both got mediterranean sandwiches to go. You can get build your own as well but I figured I'd go with one on the menu. The sandwich was delicious. Fresh ingredients, really good bread, and everything just worked in the sandwich. I really enjoyed it. We also got some butter beans from the deli and those were amazing as well. I highly recommend Jerome's and will be back again. read more

First of all, I love this store and I feel very fortunate that we have Jerome's in our small town. This review is specifically a sandwich review, as I finally tried their in-house made sandwiches yesterday. We ordered 3 different sandwiches. All three were built generally the same. I personally had a pastrami on a French roll with several veggies to add freshness. Although the sandwich price at $12 is on par for custom built sandwiches these days, I was hoping for more meat and veggies that would stand apart from other delis. But it was probably the least filled sandwich that we all have had in a while. The bread was fresh as well as the ingredients, there just wasn't enough meat or vegetables in the sandwich. I think it is a decent sandwich for the convenience. I just won't get another sandwich or seek it out when looking for a deli sandwich. By the way, they did put a healthy portion of alfalfa sprouts. So if you like sprouts, maybe Jerome's will be your sandwich place. read more

When you live on the Monterey Peninsula, one of the things you figure out quickly is where to go for the best food sources when you're when you're the one doing the cooking. There's always Whole Foods Safeway, etc. but a hidden gem in Carmel Valley Village is Jerome's. It's not one of these huge Safeway Whole Foods warehouse size stores. It's actually small and terribly efficient in a good way. He has his own butchers and they actually butcher. Nothing comes prepackaged in cellophane packages. Excellent meat, fish, poultry. A very nice selection of produce local providers lot of organics and a homey feeling. This is definitely a local spot. It's about 12 miles from Highway one and a nice ride through the valley to get to the Village. Jerome has some great wines at reasonable prices and as you might guess a fairly good uniqueness to his French offerings. The same could be said for local SLH/Monterey vintages again at reasonable prices I found some price less than the wineries. Look it's not the size of total wine, but it doesn't have to be. It just has to be good stuff at the right price that you can enjoy when you're making dinner at home. And I always seem to managed to buy a few bottles when I'm in there. Today was a 2021 Pisoni reserve Pinot--yum. They do a really good job each day preparing certain foods that you can have for dinner. There's prime rib night. There's pork chops. There's spareribs chicken all cooked fresh that day. Want a sandwich no problem. They've got a crew that makes what just about whatever you want. Bottom line they do with the big guys can't do.-- high-quality really good service and staff that seems to always smile. Enjoy yourself. read more

What a treat to leave soggy PG for Carmel Valley and I remember reading about Chef Jerome's transition to buying the market so I had to stop in. I got the "Carmel Valley roaster", which is smoked tri-tip, chipotle, mayo, arugula, pepper jack on Dutch Crunch for only $14. Absolute perfection.. fresh, layers of flavor. Since I live in, PG wasn't sure of the procedure there so I was standing there with my order and chef owner Jerome himself with a smile, took it from me, handed it to the person behind the counter and then I got to chat with him and congratulate him because I'd also read the great write up about him in edible Monterey. Definite, go to to grab a sandwich & enjoy back at the community center or down at the river Oh and great selection of Marianne's ice cream too. https://share.google/QNGv4rqEXmIuGQCe6 read more

When this place open, all of us in Carmel Valley were thrilled that his time is gone by. It's gotten really boring bad quality nothing new same thing over and over and it's not the quality. It doesn't taste well and it's very expensive for nothing. We need something like a GAYLESBAKERY... Not a Jerome's. read more

Nice little shop in Carmel Valley! Please note that their store is in the process of expanding and it can be confusing where to enter. I accidentally went into the warehouse and was kindly guided by an employee to the actual entrance. They have a lot of specialty products which are very hard to find elsewhere, like haskap berry powder and black cone salt. I had not heard of these two things before I stepped into this store. Haskap berries in particular seem very attractive due to the extremely high level of natural antioxidants contained within. However, I will note that the two bags of haskap berry powder that they had were both expired by half a year, and several other items were also expired and not fit for sale. The meat section (which is what I was initially interested in) was not stellar either. Some steaks were clearly not fresh and I saw maybe one ribeye that I would maybe consider buying and it was still fattier than ideal. Don't recommend this place for meats and definitely watch out with the expiration dates to make sure you don't buy something past its prime here. Perhaps they are still getting their act together with the store expansion but definitely need to improve on these critical areas as soon as possible. read more

For the uninitiated looking for a sandwich, the procedure is outside there is a bar height table with order slips. You fill one out, put your name on it, then take it inside and give it to someone working behind the butcher counter on the left side of the left of the store entrance for them to make it for you. There are also premade sandwiches there as well. This place is a life saver when you need some food to hold you over. read more

Jerome provided exceptional catering for our wedding weekend at Stonepine Estate! While it took a bit to connect initially, once we reached him by phone, Jerome was absolutely lovely to work with. He offered delicious food options at very reasonable pricing - $30 per person for our group of 40. The variety was perfect for our two-day celebration: salmon, salad, and chicken on Friday, followed by fruit and cookies. Saturday's lunch featured mini turkey avocado wraps, chicken salad wraps, vegetarian tea sandwiches, fresh salads, and absolutely unreal macarons that our guests are still talking about! Jerome's attention to detail and quality made our wedding weekend lunches memorable. Highly recommend for any Carmel Valley event! read more

Because they don't accept EBT, I think that in this day and age, all food vendors should include all buyers. As a graduate student who enjoys a cute getaway drive, the store provided a great selection along with friendly staff. I was disappointed to learn on the spot that they would not accept EBT. I might be back once I graduate. :)! read more

Jerome cares about his customers and has great food throughout the store, besides having great sandwiches, a really good butcher shop, good wines and fresh organic vegtables. We order our Thanksgiving turkey from him every year. There are things in the store I've never found anywhere else. He has Hummus Heaven hummus and Ad Astra bread too. read more

Sometimes we take mainstays of our community for granted so I just feel compelled to thank Jerome for providing Carmel Valley with such a wonderful market. Fresh squeezed orange juice! Fresh bread and pastries...including well stocked shelves of Ad Astra. The best sandwiches for miles! Delicious gourmet food items as well as all the fish, meat, dairy and produce basics to save us locals a trip to the big, impersonal supermarkets ! Best of all...fantastic and friendly customer service! read more

$13 dollars for a roast beef sandwich that has maybe 2 slices of meat. I think it's actually one. DO NOT BUY SANDWICHES FROM HERE. It's insulting. read more

I went here a week ago. I loved the look of the market and all the unique choices. Unfortunately an older woman with a ball cap was handling the check out. I'm always amazed at how rude people can be. It's a store! You should be welcoming not rude. She buzz-killed my outing. The market is adorable. That woman is not. I loved the store's ambiance so don't let this review keep you from it, but beware of that angry woman! read more

Great food selection, especially the European foods. Service is always good. Fresh Baked croissants and turnovers are amazing. Wine and beers selection is amazing. Meats are premium Quality. Jerome was a chef si he knows a thing or two about fresh ingredients. Their hummus is off the charts. read more

Jerome's is wonderful. It's a top-notch, very local market, run by Jerome Viel, a French chef who, item by item, built this gem up. His staff is friendly and very professional, and Jerome carries both the basic day-to-day stuff, and high-end gourmet products -- dry-aged steaks, a nice big selection of wine, seafood, all of it, in an amazingly tiny space. Jerome does a particularly incredible job if you want him to handle Thanksgiving, or other special occasions. They will efficiently and professionally put together an incredible meal that you simply have to heat up. Jerome's is an incredible operation, and everyone who lives in Carmel Valley knows it. read more

Sandwiches were soooo good, I created my own a turkey bacon chipotle mayo pesto w/ pepper jack cheese and veggies. So yum. My mom devoured her pastrami sandwich. Really good sized sandwiches they were huge especially if you get it in a baguette. I also found the cutest bags that I grabbed as a souvenir. Definitely recommend and the staff was so kind! Especially Brad, Carmel local thank you for the love read more

Top-notch deli sandwiches in a friendly market. I got one of the specials: turkey & cheese on a baguette. My buddy got a traditional ham on sourdough. Both were made pretty quickly & were big enough to enjoy without making a pigs of ourselves. On the way out the cashier chatted us up about our fruit & cheese choices. Just remember to stop & grab an order form from out front. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite. Had the chicken sandwich and it was super good. Avocado was fresh not browned or bad tasting. Honey dijon dressing was perfect to complement the roasted chicken. Had it on a baguette instead of the usual sesame roll. It's a market so not much to say about service. Place an order they call your name. It's also a good spot for shopping for groceries or meat if you aren't on a tight budget. read more

We were in town for a few days on a golf trip. We chose to patronize the local shops and eateries rather than drive back into Carmel. This market is well appointed and has a lot of unique and local items. I had a delicious fresh made sandwich and coleslaw from the deli. The men in the deli were friendly and helpful. I bought some of the yummy local baked goods to take home. I would have loved to have given 5 stars but the customer service at checkout was lacking. I'm sure it was obvious we were tourists but I'm from a very small town myself and accustomed to friendly people in small local establishments. That's not the vibe here. The employee seemed annoyed by our presence and pained she had to answer any questions. read more

Since the lockdown, Jerome's Carmel Valley Market has saved my family. The fresh all Organic produce and Neiman Ranch meats are Prime and seasonal. They have a terrific wine selection as we'll. You can arrange for them to pack your order, shop for you and then pick up your food without having to go inside the store for a small fee. Carmel Valley Village is so fortunate to have this wonderful market! read more

Wonderful people, wonderful place to shop. Not even a question! Want good butter... decent rubs or steak to take home? Done.

Tasty deli sandwiches. Outdoor tables to enjoy. Nice specialty grocery store. Fast and friendly service.

Wow, was I a penny pincher back in 2017. Jerome's is a godsend to the Village and carries just about everything a cook could ever want plus a huge variety of specialty items to enjoy ( duck rilletes , smoked salmon, organic produce, Bronx bagels, great local breads, full meat counter and prepared foods) If you can't find what you're looking for Jerome will try to get it for you. This is an outstanding family owned market read more

Stopped by for some snacks on our way up to an AirBnB. Seems like a very clean and well stocked shop with reasonable prices. Whoever Kim of Kim's Kitchen cookies is deserves a medal for her homemade chocolate chip cookies. Snag em if you see em! read more

The deli is awesome. Anytime I'm in the village I have to stop and get something. It's such a cute little store.

Cutest, friendliest market with great products. Amazing custom made sandwiches from their deli too! Don't forget to get a bag (or three) of Torres Black Truffle potato chips.... you will be obsessed. read more

what a great market this is! Lots of wonderful imported products and unique items. The staff is friendly too.

I called this morning to see if they had a particular item. The guys at the Meatery wanted to rob me, and I knew it, so I called this market instead. The butcher was incredibly friendly, helpful, and his price was fantastic. I cannot recommend this place enough. I don't live too close, but I will make an exception because they have earned my business. read more

Weird. Bought a pint of Hagen daaz ice cream to find it partially eaten when we opened it! I guess that's not the grocery stores fault but very strange read more

A wonderful wonderful store to shop in. If for any reason you don't like something, tell Jerome rather than write a bad review. He and the staff are so responsive and thrive on a sense of community. It is very important that we support quality like this. read more

Wonderful local market, they have delicious deli sandwiches and the guacamole is awesome.

This is a very nice and clean place and very friendly staff. They offer a great selection of organic green, fruit, cheese and meat.

Their turkey deli sandwiches are delicious. Highly recommended. Their Ruben's are good too but they bread was mushy. It wasn't toasted like normal but tasted great. read more

Excellent village market with good selection of local and imported delicacies. Jerome and his staff are always friendly, a great part of the community. I am addicted to the croissants and other pastries they have fresh in the morning! The kids visited for a field trip and were given samples and juice, super fun and cute. Support local business! read more

Adorable shop with amazing wine selection. Jerome himself is a gentleman who will help with all your needs.

We came to know, enjoy and look forward to seeing Jerome when he was the chef at Wills Fargo. His passion for people and food never wane. The Market his wife and he have decided to Launch into I believe is a gift to the Valley. Congratulations Jerome! read more
