My sister, who lives in Ann Arbor, sent Andrew, our son who lives in Austin, a wonderful box of treats for his birthday.
The box was left by a UPS driver at our garage door rather than on our covered front porch. It was raining when my wife flattened the wet box as she backed into our garage. 🙁
My sister called and told this story to Jennifer and she said a replacement would be sent out. Later, Katherine called my sister to say that the box would be sent over night.
We celebrated my son’s birthday with laughs and a delicious selection of treats. 🎊😀🎉
Thanks to the generosity of my sister and her husband we receive gifts 🎁 from Zingerman’s every year. And we reuse their strong and attractive boxes to send gifts back to Ann Arbor. 👍
Incredible greek deli foods. Best taromasalata and kopamisti I've had in my life. Pretty good prices too
Nice little store selling all kind of greek products, like Olive Oil, feta cheese, olives, halva and other sweets. We used to go to Titan but since they close we went here and were very happy with our purchases.

It’s a great spot with exceptional quality and fresh ingredients. It’s pricey, but we’ll spend more when it’s done right, which it is at PQM. Our only issue was $13 for a tiny glass of orange juice. At least put it on the menu so customers know the juice is nearly the same price as your entire breakfast.
Yummy 🤤 I can’t believe I live in this neighborhood now for three years and this is my first time me coming in.
If you are looking for excellent quality Greek foods with some Balkan products as well, this is the place to shop!
Butcher/meats store with attached cafe; sandwiches, soups, charcuterie. Wide choice of drinks/juices. Known for prime beef and artisan sausages. A few parking spots, otherwise little street parking.
Overall this is a wonderful deli and bakery. The prices are up there, even for some things that are better priced at other stores, but the quality is something you have to pay for at times. The main part of the deli is great but the service has much to be desired. The bakery however is well priced and the service is outstanding. The case was neat and clean and the servers were very helpful.

Best specialty grocery store in the area! Always has a large variety of snacks. They serve fresh hot lunch buffet that is equally affordable and delicious. Always come here to satisfy my sweets craving.
A friend recommended Zingerman's and it didn't disappoint. Everything we had was delicious. Every single staff member was so nice, friendly and helpful. Their bread is the freshest I have ever tasted. Will definitely be back.

Such a cute little meat shop with some wine and food offerings. We walked in with no expectations and found ourselves whisked away into a little adventure trying natural wines and walking around the shop. There was this small plate with soft ham and shaved manchego on a fluffy bread--heavenly. Not sure if they even have this normally on the menu, but definitely try it if they do!
100% must try! We waited 40 minutes for our sandwich, but it was totally worth the wait! Also, there is a cute Cafe right next store and an amazing little shop across the street to kill some time while waiting. They post the approx. Wait times prior to ordering as well, so you know what to expect! If you like a little zing, ask for the spicy mustard!! Yum!
I wish I could recommend Fresh Start more heartily but it suffers from a variable staff experience: Some cashiers are friendly and polite, others exceptionally rude and surly. That said, it packs a lot into a modest-sized store, with particularly strong selections of pre-made meals, cheeses, baked goods and produce (pictured). In short, convenience and selection account for a lot and you take the good with the bad.

Ordered a falafel sandwich and a chicken Schwarma sharak burrito at the in-store deli. Both were awesome!
We’ve lived in Ann Arbor for over a year a finally made it to Zingerman’s! Definitely a pricier sandwich but you get what you pay for! Super delicious and filling. They posted on the door that it would be a 35-45 minute wait, which was accurate. The line was manageable and ordering was a breeze. Excited to go back!
Never knew city had an Amish Market, so it was a nice surprise. It seemed to have everything and good selection of interesting cheese.
Great quality meats and cheeses. You can definitely taste that. For my tastes I'd rather taste that than the bread. The bread in the corn beef sandwich got a little overwhelming. Don't get me wrong the bread is good but 2 pieces of that is a little much. Store is great. I would definitely come back and do some shopping and would most likely try a different sandwich.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the private tour at the Texas Hill Country Olive Company, and it was an absolute revelation. From start to finish, this tour was an immersive journey into the world of olive oil production and appreciation that left me utterly impressed.

The tour began with a warm welcome from our knowledgeable guide, who expertly led us through the entire process of bottling their exquisite olive oil. It was fascinating to witness the meticulous care and dedication that goes into every bottle, from the grove to the final product. I gained a newfound appreciation for the art and science of olive oil production.

But what truly set this tour apart was the exceptional educational component. Our guide delved deep into the history, cultivation, and health benefits of olive oil. I left with a wealth of knowledge, feeling like an olive oil connoisseur.

The tastings were a highlight, allowing us to savor a range of their exceptional olive oils, each with its unique flavor profile. Paired with their personal label wines, the experience was simply divine. It was a sensory journey that left my taste buds dancing with delight.

The extensive line of items in their store was a delightful surprise. From gourmet olive oils and balsamic vinegars to artisanal products and beautifully crafted olive wood utensils, there was something for every palate and preference. The opportunity to purchase these treasures made it the perfect outing for any food enthusiast.

The private tour at the Texas Hill Country Olive Company is an absolute gem. It seamlessly blends education, culinary delight, and retail therapy in a beautiful setting. Whether you're a foodie, a wine lover, or simply curious about olive oil, this experience is a must. I left with a deep appreciation for olive oil, a full shopping bag, and a heart full of gratitude for this unforgettable journey into the world of olive oil.
Come here for dinner! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and creative. Definitely get the Carpaccio and the Mortadella & Gnocco Frito dishes. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the dishes! This is exactly what West Loop needs… more casual, yet delicious dining options (bonus: great patio seating)!

3 starts only because they are the most expensive between all of the Arabic stores in milwaukee. They jacked up their prices after Chemo took the butcher shop.

Although the restaurant was relatively empty, it took forever for us to be seated and even longer for a waiter to see us. Other tables who were seated after us were served first. I ordered octopus, normally something I love, and it was actually inedible: slimy and wet, and barely enough for an entree if I had it in me to keep going. Not to mention is wasn’t cheap. We left hungry and unimpressed.
Good food, but awkward and passive service.

Food was great, although a tad on the pricier side. I am more than happy to tip, but when you are forced to pay at the front right after you order, and then have to go back up to the front to ask for napkins/utensils, glasses, water, and a bottle opener for the soda you just bought, it kinda makes you question why this is even a tipping establishment when service seems to be non existent / counter service only.

3% employee health fee is added to all bills - receipt states it's removable upon request, but who does that when you only notice after you already pre-paid at the counter?

Our entire meal shown in first pic came to $58 and some change.

Food: 7/10
Service: 3/10
Publican Quality Meats was a carnivore's dream! The high-quality meats and artisanal sandwiches were a true delight. The rustic and inviting atmosphere added to the experience. A must-visit for those seeking top-notch deli items and a cozy dining setting. Can't wait to indulge in more flavors on my next visit!
Love this store. Has loads of great and wonderful products and produce.

Nice background music you could talk over. Very generous and beautifully presented cheese and cured meat appetizer for 2. Decent reasonably priced wine list. Ravioli with lemon zest was delicious, and my husband loved the linguinie with clams. No tipping required but we left something for the nice service. Would definitely go again.

Clean store with fair variety of product. We love the bistro meals available at the prepared food counter — you get a protein and two sides for $8-10 (depending on your protein choice). Thursday nights are $5 sushi nights — when most standard rolls are on special. The trouble with this location is they don’t pre-make much variety — and when you arrive, it sometimes feels like an inconvenience to ask for other rolls to be created. The location at Strawberry Hill offers much greater and more consistent variety on these special nights. The team is always nice and the products are fresh…which is mostly what you want out of a grocery store.

I really appreciated this Deli. In a baking hot New York summer, the salad bar is just brilliant, providing a refreshing, filling, healthy and tasty lunch. Their salads offer a welcome respite to New York's excruciatingly high prices. They also have a pizza oven and self-service buffet arrangement too, amidst wall to wall adornments of fresh fruit and veg, cured meats and seafood, lots of cheeses, breads, delicacies, deserts, chocolates and more. In fact, the shop is crammed full of delicacies, with every available space used to ensure their offering of an extensive variety of stock. Amish market is a brand name, and this is actually a chain store deli.
We love this place! Delicious food, great drinks, and amazing staff! We’ve been twice and brought family both times who all loved it there. There are a bunch of really sweet ladies running the place and they make everyone feel right at home and taken care of. We always pick up their newest olive oil and balsamic blends to bring home and cook with. Also… new parents! They have a great changing table set up in the ladies room which makes taking little ones with you much easier!! Always a win!
I loved this store but I’m never going there again. The staff is racist. I overheard an entire conversation between a cashier and a customer where they were ranting about dirty ‘third world’ immigrants taking over NYC. You hold on to your bigotry and I’ll hold on to my money.
I got meat and rice. Everything else is fine but the meat smells like rusty, even my stomach is confused. I can't tell whether I ate something or not. I had to trash some of it. People need fresh food..

This neighborhood restaurant is an absolute hidden gem and truly a special place in the culinary world. Upon entering, I was welcomed by a cozy yet sophisticated ambiance. The warm lighting, tasteful décor and attentive staff instantly put me at ease and set the tone for an amazing night. The ambiance was only outshined by the star of the show …the FOOD! Each dish was prepared with love and bursting with flavors that can awaken even the most dormant taste buds. The freshness of the ingredients was evident, and you could taste the attention to detail in every mouthwatering bite. Each dish I tasted was better than the next and left me craving more. If you're seeking a gastronomic adventure that will leave a lasting impression, don't miss the opportunity to visit this extraordinary establishment. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
This place was awesome!! Didn’t really know what to expect and I’m so glad we went! The tasting tour was great and learned a lot! The flavors they have created are delicious. Everyone was so friendly. We loved Trey, she was so friendly and made us feel so at home there. Definitely you must eat at the bistro, so good!
Think Packed Salmon was expired. When opened it start smell. Be aware when buying packed salmon

I love shopping at The Fresh Market! They have a great selection of fresh produce and meats, and their bakery is amazing. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
I can see why this is an Ann Arbor institution. It's fun to look around inside, it has a great menu, friendly service, and some great choices for eating areas.

We shared a latke which was very good. We also shared a beef BBQ on bun. The BBQ was good, but the bun did not taste fresh. The baked beans were also good, but come in a cup about the size of a condiment cup. The prices for sandwiches are a little on the steep side--expect to pay $16-20 for full size.

You'll have a choice of outdoor seating on a patio, roof deck, or upstairs dining room.

Employee badges, some menu options, and a newspaper signaled allegiance to pride month and left-wing views. True belief or fear of being canceled?
One of the best places to get any time of cheese.

Apparently the review doesn’t show up unless u post five stars. Just to be clear, I would NOT give this location 5 stars anymore!! I WOULD ACTUALLY GIVE ZERO STARS if I could!
My most recent experience was 6/11/2023, I work right beside The Fresh Market so I decided to pop in for hot wings from the hot bar & got food poisoning 15 min after eating. I had to leave work early and was sick for the following 48 hours. I was and still very disappointed.
I will be gentle with my comments because my dear friend works there. They have fantastic display of foods (hot/cold), and food items. I love the pastries, the prices are quite reasonable compared to other stores in downtown Brooklyn as well as along Flatbush areas, etc. The prices are a bit over the top, but if you want unusual and spectacular this is the place to shop.
Great selection of gluten free & organic items from Bobs Red Mill
Ode to Texas Hill Country Olive Orchard

Lovely olive farm nestled in Dripping Springs,
Where flavors bloom and nature's bounty sings.
A family's labor, toils and cares combined,
A haven of taste, where treasures we find.

Outstanding oils, as golden as the sun,
Each drop a tale, a tale yet to be spun.
Balsamic vinegars, with tangy embrace,
A dance on the tongue, a moment of grace.

Fresh bread, a fragrant symphony of dough,
Complements the olives, a feast to bestow.
The staff, like kin, with smiles warm and true,
Guiding us through flavors, old and new.

The bistro, a realm of culinary delights,
Where grilled cheese reigns, meltingly bright.
Tomato soup, a comforting elixir supreme,
In this kingdom of taste, a dream, it would seem.

Ah, Texas Oil, a pun that does amuse,
A nod to the land, where richness infuse.
Texas Hill Country Olive, a treasure trove,
Whence laughter and flavors endlessly rove.

So pay a visit, partake in this grand affair,
Where delightful taste awaits, beyond compare.
In Dripping Springs, an olive paradise untold,
Texas Hill Country Olive, a saga of flavors bold.
Favorite market,cafe and delicatessen of Fulton Market. You could find different flavors from Urfa chili to sake. Charcuterie part is quite fulfilling as well.

I shop at The Fresh Market on East Blvd occasionally and I enjoy this store. The store has a European-style farmer’s market vibe, with fresh produce, flowers, bakery, deli, and seafood departments. The products are high quality and the staff is friendly and helpful. They also offer online ordering and curbside pickup services, which are convenient and easy to use. I like their weekly features and little big meals, which offer great value and variety. The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the store is on the pricey side compared to other grocery stores, and some of the items are not always available or in stock. The store can also get very busy and crowded during peak hours, and the parking lot is small and tight. Overall, I think The Fresh Market is a nice grocery store, but it could improve on some aspects to make it more affordable and accessible.

C'est mon magasin préféré du quartier de hell's kitchen en tant que touriste vous êtes toujours très bien accueilli.
Cher mais comme partout à New York.
Le nombre de produits est assez incroyable.
Nous avons ramené des sauces pour faire des barbecue en France. Elles sont excellentes !
Je vous conseille de salade de fruits qui sont excellentes et vous permettront de manger sainement.
All through the pandemic, this store remained open, with extremely accessible hours. Over the Intercom - they played music that most seniors would recognize, and hopefully others will enjoy also. Their employees are hard working, kind and attentive; there is a discount on Sunday for students and seniors. Good selection of food items that sometimes you do not see elsewhere. Thanks for what you've done and are doing in this difficult time, Fresh Start.

It has so much yummy stuff
Stopped by Zingerman's Deli while on our road trip across MI. This is a cool little deli shop with a lot of boutique pantry items and cured meat/cheese. It was definitely a cool experience. The sandwich, specially their famous Reuben was generously sized and excellent. No complaints about the sandwich. We also tried the Tarb's Tenacious Tenure (turkey) sandwich and it was also very good.

The BEST health food store in Harlem, period!!
I was visiting NYC this month with digestive fatigue (there’s just as much cheese, meat and bread a body can take while sampling the East Coast!), and I happened to run into this miracle place on my first day.
The place gets busy around lunch time, line to the door for fresh juice and smoothies orders, totally worth the wait!
On my first visit I had their sorrel and ginger fresh juice that brought my belly back to life immediately! After that visit I tried some of their blended juices which were delicious as well, and every time a lentil patty 💕
Those lentil patties are wholesome deliciousness!! On my flight back to California I brought three with me 😋
Besides it being an incredible store, the staff is so kind and caring!
I can’t wait to come by again ☝🏾
Fantastic Greek groceries imported Greek goods they have a variety of feta cheeses olives Greek olive oil pastries Greek honey my favorite place

This is actually a composite score.  The cafe experience was a 3, but the tour of the olive oil operation and taste testing was a solid 5.

Cafe: Showed up around 1:00 on a Friday. It was an "order at the counter and we'll bring it to you" type setup. We scanned the counter menu and ordered without looking too closely. Got the egg salad sandwich, olives & oil, antipasto salad, vegetable flatbread, and 2 cans of water.  The wait wasn’t overly long.  The sandwich was reportedly excellent, but the antipasto salad and the vegetable flatbread were a bit of a disappointment. Post delivery service was also subpar as we needed assistance but couldn’t get anyones attention. Not sure what the problem was.  The other issue was the pricing for the amount/quality of the food served (as well as $3.50/can for what was described as rainwater).

Tour:  There was a free tour of the olive oil production, which is currently on hiatus due to the olive plants being killed over 2 really cold winters (they have other plantings in S. Texas and California). Did get a detailed explanation of the extra virgin olive oil definition, what to buy and what to avoid, health benefits (and typical consumption levels in the US and Italy), care and handling of oil and a tasting at the end of the various oils and some vinegars.  I found this to be one of the better tours I’ve had of late and rated a very solid 5 stars.  Would definitely recommend this to people touring the Dripping Springs area.

If I need to grab a quick healthy lunch or have a sweet craving, this is the place to go! They have an amazing bakery that makes the most delicious cookies and pastries. Their croissants are better than than most I’ve ever had. Shout out to Carrie all of the cashiers, who are awesome and do an amazing job!
Learned a lot on the tour and got to taste some great stuff! We bought some evoo, balsamic (the pomegranate one was soo good), and some olives. Cool place!
Very good assortment of Greek food.
Olives, olive oil, condiments, spices, milk products, pastries, cold cuts, eggs, frozen products...
Good selection of Balkan food.
They do not carry fresh meat or alcohol.
On 34th Street, a few steps from 30th Avenue.
Attentive and kind stuff.
Prices same like everywhere.
Local grocery store.
Didn't know what to expect but it wasn't this variety of modern products that seemed too much for the small space.
The fresh lunch options were tasty and priced for the location. As were the desserts. Thankfully, the coffee was hot and well-made, as the constantly opening door made for a cold lunch in March. Staff were neutral

Loved this cozy place in Brooklyn near my friend's home. The pasta was fabulous! Our two dishes had just the right amount of truffle (stuffed gnocchi) and lemon (ravioli). Hard to do! Truffle can be so overpowering. The cocktails were lovely, too -- made me feel like I was actually in Italy.

Fantastic find in Milwaukee. Grocery selection is wonderfully diverse. Best of all was the little restaurant. I got sharama chicken, rice with a side of hummus and salad...it was amazing. And everyone was friendly and helpful.
I'll just add my voice to the chorus of those who have enjoyed this place. There's a wide selection of fetas, of course, but hard cheeses as well. And everything was quite reasonably priced.
This place is a treasure. Pure olive oils and a diverse offering of vinegars, the pairings are endless. Treat yourself, and take the time to do a tasting. You won't regret it. Fair prices too!
The good: we LOVED the oil tasting and the balsamics! Our tasting guide Carol let us sample SO MANY oils and vinegars and we would have loved to have taken home one of everything if it were in the budget. The bourbon balsamic was out of this world.

The bad: we paid for the Extra Virgin 101 tour but it wasn’t as much of a tour as it was a look at the back room with a lecture by a guy who toed the line of being a little too political (maybe don’t talk about how “no one wants to work for $7.50 an hour anymore” when that’s literally an unlivable wage?) It was weird and a little long and I would have loved to see more of the property.

The ugly: one of the employees insinuated that I was pregnant by looking directly at my stomach and telling my fiancé he’ll want to be around for our kids (we were alone). They were really… intense about the health benefits of the olive oil and how you should be consuming a bottle a week. Overall not our favorite part of our visit to Dripping Springs.

Great place for groceries, everybody working at Amana is friendly and helpful. We get our meat there and it’s always fresh and ready for pickup on time when I call.
Shawermas and falafels are great too!
Highly recommended!
I like the shop. My entire organic take-home demand, including elderberries, was met. Additionally, there were a selection of freshly produced juices and smoothies, as well as nutritious, delectable vegan items that were ready to consume. I consumed a shot of wheatgrass juice and a kale salad, both of which I intend to keep returning for. This business will become, as it has for me, your heaven on earth if you are a vegan or vegetarian. Try it out for yourself; you'll enjoy it.

Excellent food quality. Friendly service and very interesting wine choices. Traditional Italian cuisine in Park Slope
Been in neighborhood for ever and has good sandwiches and seafood selection. Also most convenient items and good pastries. Meat department is a bit sad. Shame for such a place. Also use to have a cheese mega display but reduced. It is solid but wish they jump it up again.

Has been a welcome addition to the neighborhood since its arrival. Their sandwiches menu is varied and large and the sandwiches are very good. In the hot summer months the gazpacho and cucumber yogurt soups rock. The hot prepared buffet is very good and also very varied with a catered meal quality. The fresh made brick oven pizza are a find. The grocery selection, especially the olive oils, vinegars and cheese, provides a wide assortment and a decent value. The other grocery items are broad as well but varying in price. The produce and vegetable selection is better than the local "chain" supermarkets and is usually well priced in comparison as well. The butcher shop has great meats and poultry. There’s a small selection of fresh fish as well as frozen.
Wow! Straight out of left field… Seriously, it was a life altering event yesterday that I happened upon this place. I almost was ran over by a reckless driver in the lot. The owner was very helpful and accommodating to the victims. I noticed the aroma coming from his store. Got some curry 🍗,Unbelievable(best ever.)So good returned today. Tried their wraps, 🐓 and 🐄. Did not disappoint. So good, in fact I was compelled to leave a review. I will patronize this business whenever I have a taste 👅 for halal. Friendly people and Delicious food. A can’t miss combo. Try them today. Frfr

I’m sitting here while typing this review because I don’t want to forget about this find. It’s intimate and inviting the food is warm and hearty. I’m dinning alone but it’s a space for seems like anyone I’ve seen families, friends, and dates all while dinning comfortably alone. If you’re nearby or even if you’re not come visit this delicious place. I had the gnocchi with black truffle and other things but most importantly black truffles 🤤 (I had and an appetizer meat and cheese board adjust for one and I’m looking at dessert but that gnocchi!!) UPDATE : I bit the dessert and the pear ricotta pie? 10 outta 10 it’s somehow soft, fluffy, and decadent. Even if you’re thinking “pear and ricotta?! That’s not my thing TRY IT. Trust me 🥰

I love shopping here. All of the employees I have encountered are friendly and helpful. Hope went above and beyond helping me put together fantastic selections for a charcuterie board. It turned out incredible and my guests were really impressed. Hope made me look like a pro in charcuterie boards which in fact it was my first time making one. Thanks Hope!!!

I know brother and he help me with my Daughter iron deficiency. When doctors told me they had to do a seven (7) days blood iron transfusion and I said he’ll no because they were RISKS. So I went to brother Robert at Watkins and he helped me. My daughter now have iron in her blood 🩸
Upscale gourmet grocery store. Great selection of meat, fish, cheese, bakery items and other gourmet items. They have a huge buffet bar for take out.
Incredible dining and olive oil tasting experience.
Food is great. Olive oil tasting consists two sessions including introduction of olive oil harvest and processing and tasting.
The lecturer is very knowledgeable, nice and kind. The entire session is very informative and entertaining.
Great place to stay couple hours.
Cute spot, the owner was friendly and generous with having us taste some options.
This is my favorite organic store in Ditmars. They have most of the healthy groceries that I buy in Wholefoods. I love the healthy options and vitamins that they carry. They maintain their cleanliness, and they are organized. I also love their 5% discounts if you spend $50 or more.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this health food shop!!! The staff are so friendly and helpful, and the juices are AMAZING: fresh ingredients with well-balanced flavors! Also, the patties are great—I had the callalo patty and it was yummy. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming. Love, love, love
Wonderful experience! Will definitely go back. The attendant was helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. She talked to us about our cooking and food preferences and helped us try numerous options. Not pushy for sales either which I really appreciated. Everything was amazing!

This is a great family place. We go every year. The pumpkin pie spice, and sweet and spicy relish is the best. Be prepared to wait a while if you want some of the best apple cinnamon donuts.
Finally learned my lesson with this place. I wouldn’t mind it being so overpriced if the produce were fresh, and be frozen foods weren’t always freezer burnt and ruined.

Last time I went there and specifically wanted to get broccoli, but every single piece was rotted. We’re talking fuzzy and black. When I told the clerk, he didn’t even seem surprised. Idk why I was either. There is always rotten produce and it seems like they never check it.

I know the area is desperate for more grocery stores, but if you’re looking for health food and vegan options, you’re better off taking the train a few stops to Trader Joe’s.

Great resource for the community. I can always find my staples here plus other things that I've never seen before. Pretty affordable too - They always have sales going on plus they have a discount program. And the staff is always super friendly.

The most authentic taste of Italy you can find in NYC. Everything on the menu is excellent and the owners are from Italy and really put there love and passion into their culinary art to bring you the best tastes of Italy they can offer. Always on my list of places to visit and menu changes seasonally.

Best cup of cappuccino and espresso you can find!!!

Amazing grocery store compared to Foodlion and Bi-Lo. Produce section and Meat Department were organized and stocked. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this location. Kevin the Manager takes good care of this store and his employees because it shows!
Corona Review: avoid avoid avoid. It’s a small store with narrow isles. The “six person” rule is not enforced. The employees walk directly behind you in the small isles while you are shopping. There is no system at checkout to line up with spacing. While paying, another customer needed to see something right next to me, maybe two feet away, and I asked him to back up and he got angry at me. No employee said a thing. I believe it was the owner ringing me up and he didn’t back me up either. If they don’t care about social distancing, fine. Don’t pretend otherwise. This has severely damaged any good will I felt towards this store. I’m glad they are open and appreciate the service. But this was a major fail.

Fantastic grocery store that stocks pretty much everything you need. It's very vegan friendly as they stock vegan wraps, snacks, tofu, hummus, amazing fruit and veg, plant milks, vegan dairy products etc,. But it also has a great meat counter, cured meats, dairy etc too. Only downside is NYC prices but this isn't their fault.
Owner Sahine is very personable.

I love the combination of Weyira Cascadian Wild Raspberry White Balsamic Vinegar and Weyira Wild Mushroom & Sage Infused Olive Oil.

Sahine makes the gorgeous yellow rose bouquets displayed in her shop. How awesome that she sells them as well. I love my bouquet!!
Very neat place. The owner is very good when it comes to pairing different flavors together. Full disclosure, I'm not a big olive oil person, but that said the reason I'm not is because I didnt know any better. You really owe yourself a chance to check this out. Definitely makes for great gifts, especially for any home cooks!
This is a great natural market. Lots of varieties of products, and not too expensive. They also have a good selection of produce and cleaning products that other natural goods store don't always have. Their vitamins, supplements and medicinal section is very large, and they've always had the random remedies and products I'm looking for. The store is also great about ordering things for you that they don't have in stock.
This place is really great and the recommended combinations made an amazing vinaigrette that had us pulling out every vegetable we had to use it with. It's a great price considered it's organic and nothing like what you'd get at the typical grocery store. The worker I met was also very kind and it was an overall great visit
So lecker und frisch! Vielleicht ein bisschen teurer, aber jeden Cent wert. Das Geschäft ist sehr sauber Und man kann leckere frische Sandwiches Suppen Beilagen alles dort bekommen. frisch zubereitet und sehr appetitlich angerichtet.
I love this store. I look forward to seeing the staff every time I come here, and I'm so grateful to have such a terrific selection of organic food so close to my home. What really impressed me early on was the fact that in some areas, their organic food is the same price as Trader Joes' organic offerings, which is great. (Yes, some things are laughably expensive, but you'll find that to be the case at Whole Foods and the like as well.) All in all, great store and great people.
