Walked by on a random Thursday evening on my way to a workout class and was tempted to come in to…read moreget some nuts and chocolate covered nuts. I'm a big lover of cashews and pistachios and eat them often. I didn't get anything fancy I just got the roasted cashews from here but let me just say it tasted SO INCREDIBLY good. Idk how they roast or what kind of process makes their roasting different but the roasted cashews I had were SO divine and meaty and warm and just perfect. A lot to say on just one type of nut but truly so so so so distinct and so good!! Yes the place is pricey but from what I got and tried I kind of get it. Yes they have the Dubai chocolate here - didn't get it but have heard great things from here. The customer service was very friendly and the guy at front got me to try some of their tea on my way out. I will have to stock up on this place for my trip back home, cannot belive I didn't come sooner.

Based on my other visits and this one they get a 2 star. I visited them a couple of times before…read moretoday and it seems like the customer service is worst every time. The staff doesn't look happy to be there. Other customers ask him questions and he doesn't want to acknowledge them. I walked into the store and he gives me a look as if I'm bothering him when I said hello. This place has so much potential because they have really good treats and there's so much varieties, but just don't ask questions because the staff will make the shop very tense and awkward. I have gotten their halva, Turkish delight and nuts. And they're all very tasty. They also have so much varieties to choose from. They also have many things covered in chocolate.

There is so much happening in this space! We came for the brewery and the pizza restaurant in the…read moreback (Pizza Party). I tried a beer, they have an interesting selection of beers and they offer full and half sizes which is much appreciated. Also split the Risotto Hashbrown and Mushroom pizza with my friend. Both were very yummy and came with good sauces, the mushroom pizza was just a bit salty so the beer was a good compliment. I would go back again for the pizza and it's a rotating menu so lots of goodies coming out of those ovens :)

I'd been eyeing Farm One for a while, so this past Friday--after an afternoon wandering the…read moreBrooklyn Botanic Garden--we finally stopped in for a drink. I'd passed by a few times before, always drawn in by the foliage spilling through the windows, but I was a little skeptical it might lean more toward Instagram gimmick than substance. Happy to report I was wrong. The space is calm, relaxed, and genuinely inviting--more like a neighborhood bar that just happens to have an indoor farm in the back. It almost felt like a coffee shop, but with excellent cocktails. We tried the celery gimlet, farm tini, smash, and bad apple sour--the standout was the celery gimlet. Drinks can run on the pricier side with some that we tried pricing around $20 each, but they exceeded expectations, and the balanced flavors and aesthetic made it feel worth it. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

Alive Herbals is one of the most practical shops in Brooklyn. They have every kind of herb and…read moreseasoning you could think of, neatly organized, and with a little description of its uses on the bag. They also make their own herb/spice blends - their garam masala is one of my absolute favorites. Alive Herbals also has a great selection of essential oils, at some of the best prices I've seen. The people who work here are friendly and knowledgeable, and their rewards program is a great bonus. They also offer bulk options for some of their products, which is helpful if you're not local enough to stop by frequently. I do wish that they could switch their packaging from plastic bags, but I understand why that might not be feasible. Either way, they've got a great selection at a great value!

I am not a member of this food coop, but I came with a friend last week and was very impressed…read more The prices are great and the selection is well curated. Memberships are about $100 and while they were too busy to really help me at the time I was there (it was pretty crowded yikes!), I will return and get more info.

This food co-op personifies everything people hate about Park Slope. Uppity, insular, privileged,…read moreand provincial. If you are interested in joining, you must complete orientation and pay the $25 fee (non-refundable) and $100 equity investment (refundable upon giving them the finger and ending membership) BEFORE you are even allowed to set food into the co-op. There are no exceptions to this rule. Signing up is also dicey; you have to keep going to their website until there's an opening for orientation, which is rare. I sincerely wish someone would infiltrate this elite organization and destroy it from the inside. Kind of like the Night Manager, but in food-coop form. They'd be running so fast their Birkenstocks would fall off.

The prepared foods section is genuinely really food here, with a lot of solid options that make it easy to grab a quick meal. It can get really overwhelming and crowded during peak hours, but even then it's still fairly easy to shop because everything is well organized and clearly laid out. Overall, it's a reliable spot for groceries, especially if you go at the right time and know what you're looking for.

Nine years since my first review. How time flies! And I still love shopping here…read more Though I'm a Whole Foods fan generally speaking, this one is enormous and carries so much in terms of groceries and beverages. They eliminated delivery service a few years back and as a result, it prevents me from buying as much as I'd like. I can have groceries delivered via Amazon but I prefer shopping in person myself. I particularly like their seafood department as well as the cheese and produce. The nitpick would be that it sits on top the Gowanus Canal which is a cesspool of polluted water and carcinogens. 5 stars for everything else.
