I don't write this as a local. Not anymore. I do write this with the memories of a kid who went…read moreshopping with his parents at PathMark and bypassed Pizza And and Bagels Plus to come here and stock up for the grandest Christmas parties the Pasta Triangle had ever witnessed. There was Seagram's 7 for the egg nog, Dekuypers for the gift baskets, Brotherhood Holiday wine for the table, the occasional case of Brookdale sodas for the kids, Kahlua for holiday sombreros, Miller Chill for my redneck uncle's Christmas present... and quarters from the owners so I could go play Street Fighter behind the bagel shop while my parents had fun. Kelly's was there to grow up with me. When I came home from college, it's where I bought the white zinfandel to go with the Land O Lakes chedarella I'd have during my incredibly adult wine-and-cheese nights. It's where I'd find Brooklyn Double Chocolate, Samuel Adams Boston Lager and several other "weird beers" that my dad would shake his head at before eventually nicking about half the pack. It was where I could finally get my mom her bottle of amaretto and my dad a gift-boxed bottle of scotch and put them under the tree. The years went on, I moved away, and I'd only see Kelly's when I'd come home for Christmas. It's where I'd make the family ice run and where I'd end up when the bottle of Finlandia that had bin in the basement for 25 years miraculously ran dry because the adults could drink vodka again. Sometime when I wasn't looking, the Pathmark closed up shop, the bank went away, the gift shop was no more and the hairdresser bolted. Even the "new" KFC didn't think this was a great place to be anymore. Kelly's stuck it out. It left its wood-paneled little corner shop for the liquor warehouse you see today. For its trouble, it gets all the outgoing traffic from a Shop-Rite that may not be Nutley Park, but is at least Belleville's own. Hey, you can even stop at the Pizza Hut on the way out if you want to see if people still sit in Pizza Huts anymore. I'm writing this review because Kelly's grew up with this old man. I'm out in Oregon now, but my cousins are still in Jersey. However, I discovered that I could order from Kelly's online and pay in advance. With their help, I made sure my cousins got the Holiday wine and Dekuyper's cordials our family's enjoyed for years... and sent them off in reusable Shop-Rite bags with more personal gifts tucked inside. Despite my best intentions, I couldn't get back for Christmas this year. But in recent years, I've been developing a soft spot for my old hometown, especially around the holiday. I remember pulling up to that McDonald's across the street after a long day of Christmas Eve errands with my sister and getting a small stack, only to have a worker sigh audibly when we asked for honey (points for consistency). I remember the many iterations of streetlight decorations throughout the town and the years when we'd get enough snow for sledding beneath the high-tension towers. I remember watching A Christmas Story and thinking how much Ralphie's town reminded me of Belleville. Being able to access a small, familiar corner of it--if only through a website--made this holiday season just a bit better and left me feeling just a bit closer to home. I don't know who owns the place now, but I thank you for your hospitality and wish you and yours the best.

THEY ARE SCAMMER&FRAUD!! I ordered 5 bottles valued $675 on their website a month ago, and I didn't…read moreget any updates for a while so I called them to know the process. They said, due to low stocks, they can only ship 4bottles and would refund money for the one bottle. So I said YES. And I called them again after 2days to get a tracking number. But a guy, called manager, was so rude. I only asked my tracking number and he was so testy with no reason and just hung up the phone while I was still talking. And I called several times more, they didn't pick up the phone.. Finally, Someone picked up the phone, and she said without manager or owner, she can't acccess my order status but according to my order number, there is no shipment they shipped. So I complained that the manager said he already shipped it few days ago and then she wanted me to leave my phone number and she said manager would call me. Guess what?? 3days passed. Nobody called me. I don't even know they really shipped my order or not. They don't pick up the phone from my number. I will report them soon. Be aware! They treat customers like shit with no reasons and scammer! I lost $675

Then after you park you're walking on the metal ramp to/from the entrance which is rickety and noisey and you get the creeps. But... first thing on a sunny Saturday morning I didn't feel nervous (or have to borrow the Mrs' mace) to give this place a try. The inside is much nicer than you might expect and it's chock-a-block with all sorts of spirits and beers and wines. A whole lot of beers I never heard of before and if I had a bone to pick - I wish their "Beer Cave" offered more unrefrigerated beers since I have limited fridge space (you know, for actual food) and then you're torn about buying a case of cold beer since there's a bigger/better selection in "the ice box". An abundance of choices all around. Solid pricing. Friendly staff behind the counter. I'd write more but I have a new Game of Thrones beer (yeah, I'm one of those nerds) that has fenugreek (whaaaa?!) that I'm dying to try.

The prices are average for the area and they have stocked up on more hard ciders than I have seen in the past which is good because I like them. There is adequate street parking and they have a small lot behind the store. Be careful not to park in the lot next to the liquor store, it belongs to the real estate agency and there are plenty of signs warning that your vehicle will be towed. While there are some cheaper options in the area I use this liquor store because it is convenient and they have all the usual needs (ice, lemons and limes , etc.).

STILLLLLLLL my favorite super market chain by far…read more We're frequenters of the Stew Leonard's in Paramus and have probably been there more times than we can count. We decided to drop by this relatively new location on a random Saturday in Clifton since we were nearby ... and it's safe to say that this one is as good as any. On the day that we went, samples were being given out everywhere we turned. We couldn't avoid a sample station if we tried! There were so many samples that my wife and I wondered why we even had lunch prior as we could have had a WHOLE MEAL there! Anyhow, having been open for about a year (as of May 2025), this Stew Leonard's is as brand spankin' new as it gets. Like the Stew's in Paramus, I love how everything is so neat and organized. In addition, I love that they lead you through their supermarket with a one way pathway instead of it being like the wild west like other supermarkets. If you've been to a Stew's, they have all of your favorites here - including the ever so aromatic bakery section which always smells like deliciously soft and fresh donuts. If you're craving cooked foods on the fly, there is also a buffet, made to order pizza and sushi. The major highlight here for most people, especially kids (and myself), is the ICE CREAM PARLOR near the entrance. There, you will find some of the best soft serve ice cream your tastebuds ever had - in many flavors I might add. I did have a few gripes, but they were mostly minor. First, the dining area for those who want to grab a seat to eat at was a bit on the tiny side with just a few tables. Also, the curb of the supermarket outside was also small. The moment you walk out of the supermarket you're literally on the road, so you've got to hold onto those kids to prevent them from getting run over. If you've never been to a Stew's you're in for a real treat because you'll probably want to buy everything. If you've frequented a Stew's before, then everything you've come to know and love about Stew's can be found right here in Clifton.
