Unacceptably high prices for mediocre items that are to be had at any store, often at a 50-100% markup from standard retail prices. Rather brazen 'gourmet' branding, especially when it's only a block away from an actual high-quality market that deserves to brand itself as such.
Very racist!! Cross eyed man followed me around the store! Meanwhile I was trying to decide between a caffeinated ginger shot and a regular one! He popped up behind me right as I was heading to the register then circled back to check me out. I questioned him following me and told him it made me uncomfortable and not only did he laugh but after I paid he started yelling at me as I left! To give more perspective I’m a small young woman! Very disrespectful and prejudice. I will never go back here. P.s. I was literally wearing gaultier and comme des garçon while being profiled but god forbid you’re black in park slope. Also forgot to mention I was going to buy one of those mozzarella prosciutto sticks but the meat was literally iridescent…
This is unfortunately my overpriced/underdelivering go-to.. tonight was the final straw though because when I arrived at 10:54 they suddenly claim to close at 10:50 ?? They doubled down saying it’s been this way for 3 years. Ok, if that’s the case, update your business hours online like… I just wanted a bottle of Poland Spring smh
I almost got food poisoning from this store's products, very disappointed that I wasted my money, they have terrible quality control. Don't go here, they cheat customers!
A generally fine bodega, with more plentiful than normal grocery options. Prices are high, but the location is convenient and the inventory is reasonably good compared to your typical NYC bodega.
Didn’t have any card or cash because I lost my job so I was trying to make it work with rolls of coin since that was the only money I had. Kadia (spelling?) told me I couldn’t use that to pay as it would be inconvenient for her. Also had to try multiple times to get her attention because she had headphones in and back turned.
I live across the street and this is my go to for when the line at the Coop is too long or I just need to grab something. They have just about everything I've ever needed from cleaning supplies to dairy to a weirdly fantastic craft beer selection. And it's always the same great peeps working. A very appreciated neighborhood staple.
Warm, friendly servers; a grill person who knows how to prepare hot food and wrap for extended hot meal retention along with coffee at "just the right temperature", makes for an always enjoyable experience!
I work locally and when it hits lunch time- I have found that most locations are too expensive. However, what makes this location so appealing is the service, the quality, the prices, and how friendly the employees are.
NYC is swarming with people and with our busy and chaotic lifestyles, we often don't think to say "hi" or get the small town feel by knowing your neighborhood vendors.
Granted, Park Slope is unique in the sense that this is pretty much, Sesame Street- a family friendly neighborhood. Although, the intimacy of knowing who the merchants are is still lost. Whenever I call to make my order- they always know what I want and make suggestions based on my liking's (they actually pay attention :) )
So, next time you are there or if you choose to give this place a shot-- ask for Hector, because he is incredibly kind, sweet, and an overall awesome individual. He'll make you the best bacon egg and cheese on a toasted roll with hot sauce :) or anything you'd like!
Small, convenient health store. Don't like the new afternoon lady cashier they just hired. But I've been going there since they opened. So I will just ignore that negative fact. Very nice courteous staff in general.
