    Cold brew $7
    Lauren C.

    This is a grocery store that looks beautiful but does not live up to expectations. Things we were excited about: 1. The "artisan" bakery: the bread is homemade but somehow does not seem particularly fresh. The focaccia is saran wrapped and made with a blend of olive oil and sunflower oil. Would have expected better from a place claiming to serve Mediterranean home cooked food. The pastry shelves also included the same green pistachio muffins, bagels, and doughnuts found at your nearest sidewalk coffee cart. 2. The coffee bar: above average coffee, but I was annoyed that a small cold brew with oat milk was $6.50 ($7 with taxes). The coffee is from For Five, a roaster out of Queens. 3. The prepared food: largely free of seed oils which is a big plus, but few vegan options. They had homemade hummus, and we tried the jalapeño one that had literally one small piece of jalapeño in the whole tub. It also tasted like they used basil instead of cilantro. Weird. 4. The grocery section: we were hoping for some interesting specialty items such as kombucha, meat alternatives, plant milks, interesting pastas, etc. but everything was pretty standard and not much beyond what you'd find at an average grocery store around town. Overall, we were looking forward to having an alternative to NYC's mediocre grocery scene, but Ermina's is ultimately just a larger and more photogenic version of Westside Market. (They didn't even bother to change the Westside Market labels on some of their prepared food items.) They have a lot of potential, but we will probably give them awhile before returning so they have time to work out some of the kinks.

    Ermina's Market, part of the Westside Market family, has been a great convenience for me while traveling for work. It's an upscale specialty market offering farm-fresh produce, quality dairy, imported cheeses, butcher-cut meats and poultry, seafood (including sushi), a bakery, prepared foods, and an in-house café. It's more of a well-rounded neighborhood market than a cuisine-specific store. The quality of the food is good, though prices are noticeably higher than what I'm used to in California -- which I understand reflects the cost of food here. I'm vegan and currently transitioning to incorporating protein, so I tend to return for the same items. I usually purchase their salads with turkey, which work well for my diet, and the consistency has been reliable. Most of the staff I've encountered have been very nice. A young woman at the coffee counter was especially welcoming -- she greeted me warmly and offered helpful food recommendations, which I appreciated as someone working and staying nearby. I did, however, have a checkout experience that stood out. About a week prior, I had purchased raspberries that were unfortunately spoiled when I returned to my hotel. I documented that issue. When I returned the following week and checked out with the same cashier, I later noticed on my receipt that I had been charged for raspberries and blueberries that were not in my cart and never placed on the conveyor belt. What made it feel unusual was the timing -- having returned bad raspberries the week before, then seeing raspberries appear on my receipt again despite not purchasing any. I'm not assuming intent, and it may very well have been a mistake, but it did make me pause. Because of that, I now make a point to carefully review my receipts and will likely use a different checkout line moving forward. I'd recommend other customers do the same, just to be safe. Aside from that experience, Ermina's has been clean, convenient, and helpful during my stay. The food quality keeps me coming back, and overall it's been a solid option while I'm working in the area.

    To be honest, I am kind of obsessed with this place! I am so glad that they have so many prepared foods, and also, a lovely coffee bar in the front! Smiley face the price is at the "for five" coffee bar are certainly reasonable. Although, the portions are a little bit small. The cashiers don't know how to speak English! Because I tried to talk to one of them, and they didn't respond, but they did their job fine other than that. The produce and groceries itself are a little bit more expensive than, say, Trader Joe's, but for the convenience of being in the area, and the lovely ambience of the grocery store, I would say that it is worth it! They have a lot of gourmet foods, and carry brands like the juices from Pressed Juicery®, while also making their own freshly pressed juices.

    Ermina supermarket sells expired produce. There's no quality control in this establishment. On January 14th 2026 I bought youghurt that expired December 13th 2025. I also bought a block of cheese that was on sale and it has zero flavor. Makes me think it's expired long time ago as well. Avoid this dishonest place, maybe dangerous for your health

It felt like items weren't made with care and mass produced at a factory or something. I went 10 minutes before they closed and there was still 10+ of each dessert. I'm not convinced that they will dispose of them. Even if they do, it means they didn't do a good job in forecasting demand especially after being in business for multiple years. I ordered mango and yuzu. Both were too sweet and had one dimensional flavor and textures, not refreshing per their stated flavors. Even if their appearances take effort, they don't look pretty enough for me to forgive what goes in my mouth. I'm used to having patisseries with many layers and elements. Mango's sponge probably only took up 20% of the bottom, because I barely had bites of it. Most of my bites didn't have any. I didn't like how liquid the filling was. It didn't exactly ooze out but just melted into a puddle in my mouth. Yuzu looks pretty with the pink and yellow glaze, but it didn't go with the realistic fruit theme. I chose it for the flavor combination which is strawberry, yuzu, and guava. This was slightly better in terms of flavor variety in the mouth. The flower on top had a weird off putting flavor. The bottom crispy rice apparently is supposed to be chocolate but it came out plain. It was tasteless anyway, so not effective in terms of flavor or texture.

I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

The peppery, thick bacon and the quite sweet, icing-topped cruller are a beautiful study in contrasts. The egg was nicely runny. I will say that's it's definitely not a good on-the-go sandwich, as it falls apart easily. However, I don't think this is a great spot for coffee. I was a bit underwhelmed by my latte, which tasted more like thin drip coffee than a rich, strong espresso. I also think they could offer more sweetener options.

They are running a really interesting under the counter espresso machine where the main bulk of the equipment is hidden away, leaving just these sleek, minimal group heads rising up from the counter. It was my first time seeing a machine of that style in person, and it looks incredibly sharp. I would absolutely come back here next time I'm in the area.
