Cute, convenient Bodega stocked well with essentials and "nice-to-haves" in an efficient layout…read more You can find everything from bottled water to a wide variety of diverse beers to necessary grocery and drugstore items here - such as Dr. Bronner's (which I think I saw behind the register, up high on a shelf), batteries (be wary of the unusual "generic" brand offered with an older expiration date), to produce and canned goods, to ice cream, candy, and chocolates - including Green & Black's organic line. I've also found dried fruit snacks here - including organic, non-GMO dried apricots covered in dark chocolate, very random beers (Bell's Smitten, Duvel, a variety of IPAs, typical American brands, and I even some Polish options - lots, in fact). The owner, Mike Alamo, is a New Yorker, so he truly understands the concept of a bodega / cornerstore grocery, and there's a great article about his store's opening over on Syracuse (dot) com - which I'm spelling out, and to which I'm purposefully not linking, since every time I do, Yelp deletes my reviews due to content. Since Mike also has a store in NYC, he keeps the inventory interesting - inclulding stocking something of which I'd never heard until recently: Choward's "Violet" Lavendar Mints. The only downside - and reason for the minus 1 star - is that after purchasing two packs, I noticed an expiration date of 3/11/11 and this was May 2014. :( I mentioned it to Mike tonight, and he didn't apologize or offer to replace/compensate in any way, which I felt was uncool (not that he had to). Fine. I just hope he really does re-stock these the next time he goes in to NYC, and that he starts being more aware of expiration dates. Note, also, the date on my Bell's Smitten Golden Rye Ale was bottled on 1/21/14, and - according to Bell's website - their ales only last 6 months, so again, I was pushing it with this product as well. Word to the wise: note expiration dates when you shop here. All that said, what are your other options in the area? Exactly. In sum, I like this corner store because it reminds me of and epitomizes the concept that Jennifer Pahlka, Founder and Executive Director at Code for America, describes in her "Bodega 2.0: A Business for Healthy, Walkable Cities?" article on LinkedIn, dated January 16, 2013. Again, not linking due to Yelp's new hawkish and odd "governance". Be sure to Google it! :)

The wings are made fresh, the tenders are hand battered and made to order. This is takeout only, and parking is very limited because it is on a residential block. The shop itself has a surprising variety of products available for being so small. It's like stepping into an inner city bodega, but in Westvale. The other menu items I've had are low mid, but the chicken is 5 star, so I give them the average of that with bonus for being so friendly and accommodating when they get super busy. (I called in an order right before they got slammed and because it wasn't ready when they quoted, they added extra.)

Before…read moreheading home, he had a particular lesser-known offbeat local landmark he wanted to see, which happens to be in the same neighborhood as the Coop. So while there we went into the Coop for some coffee and sandwiches, and enjoyed a nice curb lunch out front. The Coop has a variety of grab-and-go sandwiches in a cooler towards the front, near the self-serve coffee area, several of which are vegan. I tried the vegan chickpea salad pita. My husband had the vegan buffalo seitan on ciabatta bread. He went with the dark roast coffee, and I had the medium-roast Bird of Paradise blend at recommendation of one of the fun checkout crew guys. The staffer claimed it is the best coffee he's ever had. I hit the carafe at just the right time to be empty and necessitate a fresh brew ... and WOW, he was NOT kidding! What an EXCELLENT cup of coffee! I love a light, wispy coffee that is so utterly crisp that every sip is somehow both satisfying and vapid, like your palate is both satiated and cleansed all at the same time--and this wonderful palate-paradox is the exact experience with a fresh cup of Bird of Paradise! And as for the sandwiches, also delicious! My chickpea salad pita was creamy and crunchy, with a hint of spicy. My husband loved the buffalo seitan sandwich so much so that he nearly denied me a bite! But I did get one, and can concur YUM. We strolled the aisles a bit while we were there, and it is a sweet little grocer with a small selection of all of your typical market sections. The selection of vegan and specialty groceries, like keto and gluten-free, is well represented here, too. Vegan marshmallows were on sale, so we grabbed a couple bags, as well as a few bricks of vegan ramen. If we lived closer I would gladly shop here, at minimum come back for more of that Bird of Paradise coffee! The staff was super friendly, the prepared foods were delicious, the coffee was superb--enjoy this sweet little establishment Syracuse, what a gem! :-D

She mentioned Green Planet sold it so I took the short drive. I did find what I was looking for, the price is about $5 more than online or website. But skip the shipping and the wait and supporting local is a better option! This store is packed with many natural, nutrient dense, and wholesome products!

They're usually standard pricing but they have some nice deals and there's a good amount of variety. I didn't even know some of the drinks I used to pick up were still being made because most stores don't seem to carry them. I don't grocery shop here because there's other stores like Aldis that specialize in budget grocery shopping. However with the big storms it was nice to still be able to pick up a few things food wise even if it was more akin to gas station pricing. The meat, the drinks; and the subs are what I mainly go for. And so far it's been a 10/10 experience from those products. Staff is typically nice and I don't stand around long. It's a small store so it can get crowded on busy days like holidays seem to be popping off. But, for what I enjoy from the store at the pricing and quality I get and the convenience of having a literal 5 minute walk at most. It's my go to spot.
