Jeune's on Vandy

anyone? bueller?

stopped by on Saturday, and granted it was her test day and all, wasn't too impressed. it's basically delicacies gone downmarket. lots and lots of boar's head brand in the back, and bread that claims to be french but tastes more like the generic italian from C-town. will go back though. i suppose we ought to tell her what the n'hood is looking for and give her a chance to stock it. lady seems nice.

Schaller & Weber would be great. Amy's Bread. If you're going to go the regular deli route like the bagel stores then Boars Head and Citterrio (did I spell that correctly?) is fine. Regardless, you should have newspapers. NY Times, Daily News and The NY Sun. Not necessarily in that order or importance.

fat free organic milk, shredded cheese, some good produce from a quality farmer, tea's teas, gorilla coffee, organic eggs, whole wheat pasta, off the top of my head..

Welcome to the neighborhood! I haven't had a chance to stop by yet but hope to later on this week.

There was a thread earlier when people were wondering about whether Delicacies had closed in which lots of folks talked about what kind of foods they'd love to see available in the neighborhood -- you should check it out, might give you some ideas for things to consider stocking:

For all of the shillers out there, this is the right way to post about your business on this board.

Best of luck to Juene's Gourmet!

Mrs. C and I checked this out today and for now, I've got to agree with phil&ted above. Kind of just generic deli stuff with lousy-looking bread plus a few leftover items from Delicacies. I want to like this place, but it seems like they're going in a totally different direction than Delicacies. I hope the owners take some of the suggestions here to heart and expand their inventory. Otherwise the closing of Delicacies will have been a really big loss. A regular deli may in fact be very successful in that location, but it won't really add anything new to the neighborhood.

make it stop before it kills again!

DAMN YOU, SMOKIN' JOE!

Don't you know that was ketchup?

I must say this is a great forum to voice everything that's on our mind.... Jeune's Gourmet appreciates all of your concerns and are looking out for your needs.

If it's more inventory your looking for it will soon come to your liking...the inventory in the store is newly stocked and leftovers will be of the past.

For those who may like Boar's Head deli stuff it will be there for you...if you like other items other than boars head it will be there for you as well.

Your statements are duly noted about what is there...I will give everyone the opportunity to enjoy a variety of taste....Your suggestions are valued
so we can continue to approve upon things....Your always welcome to stop by the store and tell us what you like. I have my pen and pad ready to make a list.

By the way bread will be delivered this Saturday..for those of you who enjoyed the bread please stop on by...again a few tweeks can be made and nothing is set in stone with the bread and any overall item...so I'm quite positive Jeune's Gourmet will do it's best to accomodate the needs of the neighborhood. At the end of the day your satisfication is the ultimate goal for us at Jeune's Gourmet.

Thank you and have a lovely day...again please come visit us at Jeune's Gourmet.

I went in to Jeunes, the deli looked tasty, the staff was really friendly and accessible and they had some nice looking biscuits. I plan to get a sandwich there soon, so I will post a review.

For me, a place selling English biscuits and chocolate, like Java Joes in park slope does, would be very valuable. I have an English wife whose homesickness is only tempered by Chocolate Digestive biscuits, Malteasers, and Penguins. Fresh mozzarella would be great... actually, has anyone ever tried Fresh Cilantro chutney (cilantro, mint, coconut, lemon juice, salt and chili) and fresh mozzarella toasted on pita, like a pizza? its really good. i would love some of that.

I cant find Jeunes!~ Where is it?

not sure if anyone else mentioned it already, but they carry amy's bread now.

Idlewild wrote: I bought a sandwich last Friday. It was pretty good. It was a combo Boars Head with regular and cappicola with tomato, onion, pickles and three slices of cheese with mayo both sides. Extra mayo and extra meat on a cibiatta(?). All for $7.50. It was done as requested and it was a nice size.

MET makes solid sandwiches for ONLY $3 (roll) or $3.50 (hero). You can choose your own roll from the bread boxes. Nothing gourmet, but a lot more meat than you would get from Subway for twice the price.

It was $7.50 for double meat, as in 3'' thick sans bread plus tomato and a ciabatta that was as long as a regular hero. $7.50 is a bargain even if it's Boars Head. The only two places that I can think off that make bigger sandwiches for a little bit more using Boars Head is La Bagel Delight and the Korean Place on 7th Ave between Berkeley and Union. Try getting a sandwich the same size with Citterrio or Schaller Weber or "artisinal or organic" and you'll be paying a lot more. Go to D'Vine Taste and Union Market and you shall see.

I have bought sandwiches at Met. The bread is good but the fillings are slim and sometimes not that fresh, I would say that $3 is right on target if not over priced for what you're getting.
