While in New York we went to this City Acres Market. The market is large, but also compact as well. They have a large variety of foods, meats, vegetables, and personal necessity available.
The only helpful person here was Jordan the manager. I use to love this place ,however it's severely taken a nose dive. They never have whats on the sites sales paper half the time. The majority of the raw meats have gone so down hill, I'd say that only 40 percent of them are edible and fresh. The biggest downfall in quality here is the customer service is abysmal!!! The whole staff needs to be fired and start over. The deli guys are beyond rude, the stock people NEVER want to show where anything is, and the cashiers are more miserable then a visit to the dmv . With the exception of two of them being ok. This use to be my favorite store , sadly it's just meh now. I'm stuck with it as it's the closest to my apartment. Blah š¤®
Great variety for a smaller grocery store. Lots of funky Asian snacks (Ube popsicles, fish flavored chips, daikon radishes, etc). Prices are steep, but thatās expected for LIC. Hot food section is pretty good for a quick bite. Cashier was kinda rude. Girl was on her phone (ok, fine) and didnāt give me the time of day for a simple āhello.ā Had to ask for a fork twice after I realized she didnāt give me one when I first checked out. Bc
DO NOT BUY FROM THE FISH SECTION. Probably all meats and produce as well. We bought some raw jumbo shrimp from here only to be hit with the absolute worst feet/fishy smell when we opened it at home. It literally stunk up the entire apartment. I wouldnāt trust any raw foods from this store.
Great for last minute runs for dry and frozen foods.

Bad experience today at the bakery section. Asian lady that was supposed to attend to the bakery was yelling on the phone in her language. I asked another employee for assistance but she told me to go to the lady on the phone. When I try to get her attention, she turns her back to me & goes deeper into the kitchen area to continue her yelling over the phone. It almost and hour to receive assistance to get 3 cake slices. Luckily, the nice young man who finally assisted me was nice.
We had City Acres Market cater our event and everything was wonderful! They made us an antipasto platter and a gorgeous fruit platter and everything was fresh and delicious. Jordan, the manager, was so helpful. It was an all around pleasure to work with them.
They sell delicious cakes and rice bowls for a reasonable price. My only complaint is that no one is ever working at the Juice bar/cakes area. Even when you got the manager looking at you & 2 other people waiting for assistance with the cakes. Also, they donāt provide forks/napkins when you buy the hot food.
