My little one and I stopped in for a sweet treat the other day I let her choose. We had the chocolate mousse cups and my bad I didnt take pics because I couldnt wait to dig in. Working from top to bottom it was in layers. It had a huge fresh strawberry on top it was garnished w some thick chocolate slivers then there was the cream so light and fluffy I mixed it with the mousse at the very bottom there was a small layer of choc cake and the whole thing was in a flower petal shaped cup made completely of choc. The little one could not eat all of hers and it was hard to waste such goodness but I didnt want to overdose. Mental note next time one to share is good. I also bought a few of there decorated pretzels they are such pretty little works of art I want to recreate them and put them on my kitchen walls! The staff is always pleasant here AJ's has always been a fav of mine I like their catered dessert trays they are always a hit!
I've been to this AJ's several times, and I have to say it's my favorite one of all. My husband loves this rare Brazilian beer and they consistently carry it. Better yet, I can get the six pack instead of the individual bottles because they always have it. The deli section isn't as big as some of the other stores, but who cares. 95% of the time, I'm coming here for alcohol of some sort and they selection of that is just fine.
It's never snobby, the staff are incredibly helpful and best of all, it's like 10 minutes from my house. Perfect.
Put it in the baby book. Baby's first AJ's. And you'll always have a special soft place in your heart for your first.
I love that while this location is in a nice part of town, it's not quite the same level of frou-frou as many other spots. That means rather than dealing with the Scottsdale types who have to dress up to go to the store - you're dealing with a greater range of folks - but they are all willing to pay a bit more for the good stuff. I will say, you'll pay less for a box of cereal or box of triscuits at a Circle K than you will at an AJ's. And I don't think I've ever seen anything on sale.
But there is just nothing like their fresh food. Be it produce or the meat section, the colors are brighter, the items are bigger and you just know it's going to taste better. Their chicken breasts and pork chops are so amazingly good, and so large, you want to eat them all at once, but you just can't. You have to try some of their pre-prepped meats. My fav is a pork loin with apple stuffing. Wow.
And of course, great pre-made foods too if you just want to pick up something to go. I've been suckered in to their desert section far too many times. And they are always good. But dang they can be pricy - so it really has to just be a special splurge.
If you haven't tried an AJ's yet, I suggest this one to ease you into things. There may be quite a few Lexus in the parking lot, but there won't be too many Hummers.
