Pros: Great location next to the subway, has a variety of Caribbean, American and some Asian groceries. They are clean, organized and always stocked. I shop here often for my fresh herbs, caribbean cheese and crackers. Two days ago I craved African food and needed 1 more ingredient to make it... the main ingredient PALM OIL. Given that I've never looked for palm oil here before I didn't think they had it but when I asked Google for the closest African supermarket and they said this place I reluctantly went and was pleasantly surprised to find it here. So in addition to the Asian, American and Caribbean foods you can also find African palm oil too. Cons: I feel they over charge at times. Ask for an itemized receipt and double check to make sure you're are not over charged. read more

Carib Food Market - The wrapping came off but that's ok. My food came out great. This is the real deal. - Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Small yet neatly organized. I'm starting to feel like the OCD Nazi *blocks face* This place was recommended to me and I'm so happy! Now I know where I can find my WI fruits, veg and products all so fresh and so clean clean. The checkout guys here even operate like the checkout folks back home in these types of small, neighborhood green grocers. I like it. The End. read more

See all

I recently bought a blender and now all of my favorite fruits become my favorite fruit smoothies! With that being said, the quality and ripeness of the produce they keep out here seems to be pretty on point. I was biking by late one summer night and finally noticed this place literally shining through the darkness and thought how refreshing all of that fruit must be (after a few miles I was parched and the freshly cut melon saved my life). They've also got a full on assortment of everything you need in your kitchen to prepare well balanced meal. Definitely stop by the produce proudly displayed outside. Come in for quick last minute dinner prep pickups as well. read more

Carib Food Market - Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The SO lives in Bed Stuy and I have found that this grocery store is da bomb! Although it is small, it manages to carry everything and I am amazed! It specializes in West Indian groceries, and you will find everything you are looking for! It is managed by Chinese people and I am wondering how do they know about West Indian foods? Probably they are West Indian Chinese. In any case, here is a list of things I found that are interesting: -Lots of fruits and veggies at very reasonable prices -cassava flour -fufu flour (used in West African cooking) -several varieties of coconut milk -all things Goya -salted fish -guava paste -any kind of curry -all kinds of molasses They, however, do not carry low fat milk or fresh bread. But, still it is a rather well-stocked grocery store and you can find almost anything here. read more

Not only the freshest produce and the lowest prices you can find on this side of Bed-Stuy, but now open 24 hours! If they only had low fat milk... And beer. Beer would be good. read more

Very convenient store ! The fact that it is right next to subway station, I often grab what I need and easily take the train back home. They have many fruits and veggies that I haven't tried but it is great that they have many varieties. Also they are decently priced too. read more

Short version: Always ask for an itemized receipt, or you may be heavily overcharged on already-overpriced items. THE GOOD They have absolutely excellent produce and are open 24hrs. They have a good selection of gourmet items. THE BAD 1. For many things, they are overpriced. Examples: a. Green Mountain Gringo Salsa $6.99 here $4.50-$5.00 at Foodtown, a 5 minute walk down the street. b. Stonybrook organic milk is 50 cents more here than Bravo, which is next door. c. Craft beer is $2.25 per bottle, which turns into $13.50 for a six-pack. $11-$12 at Bravo, Foodtown, Associated, all of which are nearby. 2. But the worst thing is that they don't use bar codes, they type everything in by hand, and they constantly overcharge me. In the past 7 months I've been overcharged about 5 times, up to $24 per order. Sometimes they type things in twice, do the multiplier wrong, add your total to the prior customer's total, etc. Always ask for an itemized receipt. read more

At first fell in love with it. All though it's a 20 minute walk, it's the only place where I can buy fresh veggies, organic food and healthy stuff in w clean & organized shop. BUT - the more I shop there I feel like I'm spending more than what I would spend at whole foods.... Choosing to order fresh direct, save the walk and not feel like I'm spending more $. Lack of an itemized receipt makes my feeling of overpaying hard to validate, who's is the final piece of frustration. read more

Nice store, I can find what I want in there. Don't get it mixed up with the place next to it. It's not part of their store. Better prices and nicer people too. All of the Caribbean goodies! read more

Definitely one of the better options in this particular stretch of Avenue. Their Bravo neighbor makes them look stellar by comparison but even on their own they provide a viable option for produce and items for a quick meal or snack. Prices are reasonable for the neighborhood. I usually stop by for my avocado cilantro tomato fix on the way home as its right next to the train station. read more

I asked in advance whether they had a particular specialty good. They said yes. I made the long trip over only to find that they didn't have it. Infuriating. read more

Fresh produce, low prices, and open 24/7. What more could you ask for? This is my go-to place for fresh produce, particularly on late Sundays when I need a few items to complete soups or stews, or to buy some fruit for breakfast. The place is, true to it's name, a Caribbean food market, and thus the bulk of their offerings consist of Caribbean spices and food items. The only thing that I dislike is that the staff, particularly at night, is predominately Hispanic and a little aggressive about wanting to communicate only in Spanish. I say this as a non-Hispanic person of color who lived in the South Bronx for more than five years. Credit cards are accepted, but there is a $10 or $15 minimum, so I generally pay cash. read more

I like stopping by this place on my way home from the train for some fresh produce or unfamiliar sauce (can someone say kuchela?) to liven up my typical stir-fry affair. The prices for the produce are worth the trip! Post-refusing to buy a pint of grape tomatoes from Tradewise ($4) I doubled back to Carib market the other day and was quickly vindicated ($1.99) for my thrift-fueled tear down Fulton. One note is that aisles are narrow. Enter with a large bag/backpack at your own risk. You'll probably feel like an asshole. read more

I honestly love this place. Fantastic variety of things that you can't always find at the neighborhood grocery stores (rice paper for fresh spring rolls for example!) They have a lot of things you'd expect to find at a "health food" store - ample gluten free options, some fancy juices and coffee drinks, nice chocolate bars, but also most of the good basic essentials too. Not the cheapest but pretty reasonable. read more

Amazing convenient store! It's close to the subways and have everything from fruits to daily necessities. People are very nice and price is great for the quality of products they provide. Thank you I will be coming back!! read more

The worst kind of business is one where you call up, ask if they have something in stock, show up, and see that it is NOT in stock. This is what happened when sourcing for a food styling job. I called and asked, they said yes. I sent my colleague to pick it up, she said they didn't have it. I called back, and asked if it was in stock, again, the shopkeeper said yes. I said would you help her find it? He then said, no, it wasn't in stock. It makes no business sense to make people go out of their way, under a deadline, and come to your shop when you don't have what you need. I don't understand the reasoning of lying to your customers. read more

Some people might think it strange to have a Trinidadian grocery run by chinese people... but trust me, that is totally straight up legit. I can relive my childhood in here if I wish... Crix, Milo, stacks of saltfish, the good trini cheese... tunnoks, Chief brand curry... fresh chadon beni... matouks pepper sauce... it's all here. Cheap too. I'd do all my groceries here if I lived closer. read more

If you haven't been by lately, you'll be shocked and delighted to find that they've doubled in size. This makes for a more pleasant checkout-line experience. It also means that they've expanded their repertoire of fancy things. read more

My favorite market in the area. Has everything I need and is always fresh and cheap.

Honestly this is the best food market there is. Its like if you mixed a bodega with a food store because once you start to go here for a little while, people are just so friendly here. Great ingredients to make a quick little dinner but big enough to have a whole feast. Honestly one of the best places to buy food especially with all the, excuse my french, shitty quality you can see from other markets. Friendly, clean and with large variety, What else can you want. read more

Very neatly organized with fresh groceries. Never seen a clean grocery like this. My friend recommended me this store when I was visiting NYC, saying it is one of a kind grocery I can find in Brooklyn. Searched items I wanted with a nice price and I'm all happy. If you are looking for fresh organic groceries, I definitely recommend. read more

Great service! Produce are fresh and the staff here are so welcoming. Nice folks and I would come back again to buy more products!

I am so happy to have found this store that is not too far from my home. Many years ago, there were quite a few markets with great Caribbean produce. It's a disgrace that so many of our small business are continually destroyed!! I was so happy to see how beautifully the root foods are displayed. They do it correctly!! They offer a great variety of items. I hope that they will have continued longevity in the community. read more

Really good grocery store, very organized and fully stocked with fresh produce and a large variety of quality dry goods, dairy, etc. Great selection of health food options for vegans/vegetarians as well as a wide array of international products, spices, etc. Awesome section of hot sauces, can't beat that! They definitely had everything I needed and more, many interesting things that I want to buy and try next time! I don't live super close, about a 15-20 minute walk, but it's worth it to me since there are not a ton of great grocery stores in that area of Bed-Stuy. read more

Yes Yes Yes. So happy I got Anchor Cheese for a good price and the size as well as Pinehill Juice.

This place is the ultimate spot for quick produce getting off the train...cheapest berries, awesome grapes, amazing prices. They even have kombucha in a pinch for 4 bucks, which is standard price for deli stores though it's very hard to find in any of the delis on Nostrand! Broccoli is cheap, they've got a wonderful stash of organic products (definitely not where you'd want to do all of your shopping but great when you need a can of vegan soup when you're sick or some salsa or whatever) Basically, I stop here several times a week and I have to pry myself away from turning right on the street when I get off the train to go home...the berries always call my name!! read more
