So what can I say. This place is very nice looking and it's a little market that has a little of everything and a lot of organic stuff. But customer service can be worked on just a little. I ordered a pollo loco, and I know I messed up. I'll call it. I forgot to mention to change it to breaded chicken. But when I asked if the sandwich was made already I was told no so I asked. It doesn't hurt, right. She went to ask the grill guy and he said I already put the chicken on the grill. So you telling me my sandwich isn't made yet and you have the chance to give me breaded chicken but won't because the chicken is already on the grill. I forgot to mention the grilled chicken is already grilled it's not like I'm getting a raw piece of chicken. But okay. Sandwich is okay grilled. Nothing to rave about. Maybe I'm a little salty because I didn't get what I wanted. Or maybe the chicken needed salt. lol. But after eating the sandwich or half of it, maybe it was a good idea that I got it grilled. I got the grilled flavor lol something better then nothing. So you know me. Keep it tasty my friends and let me know what you think. read more

I don't really write reviews but after today I honestly wouldn't come here unless it's the only option and I needed to buy one or two quick things. I usually come here and the cashiers are always different every time. They're usually chill but today I walked in to buy a few things and after like 5 minutes it was so obvious that they assumed i'd steal or take something as I noticed the same owner or worker whoever, be near every vicinity of the store I went. Whoever was at the register one of the younger girls looked like she didn't want to be there either and looked like she wanted me to leave as fast as possible. I don't expect everyone at a store to be friendly but these are people purchasing from your store at least act like you show some respect to your customers. Not everyone is a thief or a bad person. read more

Today is my last time visiting this place. I have been shopping there at least once a week for the past year. 60% of the time I go there, I am followed. Today was the final straw. An employee of the store stood 5 feet away from me just watching me browse through the spices. I can't tell you how many times I've been looking at something on the shelf and when I look up a worker is standing at the beginning of the aisle, looking at me. They make me feel so uneasy. Despite what they may think, I've worked hard to achieve what I have in life. There is no way I'm risking it all for dried thyme, old rotting vegetables and over priced tuna. Have car, will travel to a market that appreciates my business (and sells fresh orifice). read more

I haven't been to this place in while, I decided to come in today to buy organic milk and as I approached the cashier I tell him hello and he didn't even answered me at all, meanwhile he said hello to the person who was behind me. And he was a white guy. The cashier was racist, rude and unprofessional . I will never come back here to buy anything. They do not know how to assist customers with respect. read more

Good sandwiches and deli selection. A convenient local market to grab a bite during breakfast, brunch or lunch. There are benches and tables outside at the front to sit and chow down read more

I've been coming here for years. It is a pretty pricy grocery store but they do have decent organic options in a neighborhood that is bleak in that department. There is the health emporium but that's not not walking distance for me. I generally come here for small groceries such as my nut milks or snacks and ice cream etc. This is super convenient for me when I can't go to Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. Onto their sandwiches. Their sandwiches are decent but their service can be pretty slow depending on the time of day. Especially when you're in a rush this isn't the best place to order a quick sandwich. Most service is good here but again depending on the time. I'm just happy there's a natural store near me that has a decent selection of products. read more

AVOID! If you're looking for a deli sandwich go anywhere else. The guys behind the deli are terrible. They take forever to make anything. I stood on line for 10 minutes today before they took my order and it took another 15 to get my sandwich. No sorry for the wait or anything. In addition the coffee was terrible and everything is over priced. Want a bag of chips to go with your sandwich? 2.50$. I will never spend a dollar is this place again. read more

Not much to say about this place. It's organized and the workers are friendly but like any organic store, they're over priced and overrated. I do appreciate the cleanliness and organized it is. I only come here a few times a year. When I cook something with organic ingredients I can always find what I need in here. This is one of the only organic spots in this area...so not too many choices when you need organic stuff. read more

Fresh Meadows Natural - Grocery Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

I only come for the convenience of it being close to my house and being open 24/7x But prices are steep. Selection is not bad. Disappointed that despite the sign on their door that masks are required, the cashiers today were not wearing them. Shame on them. I have been coming here since they opened. They just lost a customer today. read more

Fresh Meadows Natural - a sign in the window of a store - Grocery Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

The only thing positive about this place is the friendly attitude of the lady at the cash register. Unfortunately, most of the vegetables and fruits that I've purchased here on more than one occasion have had freshness issues, their dairy products are either past their due dates or approaching expiration within a day or two, and prices are misleading. I won't be returning, as I'd rather go out of my way for fresher, more quality selections. read more

Fresh Meadows Natural has been open for two whole days, and I've been there twice. It is a new oasis for grocery shopping in this part of Queens. It is clean, extremely well organized, and full of all my favorite foods and drinks. This place basically has everything, if you're looking for mostly natural and organic produce and products. Surprisingly, they have every single flavor of every single product of quite a few brands. Here's just a brief sample of the many goodies I saw: two freezers full of Annie's meals and veggie burgers, several shelves full of Yogi Tea, a shelf dedicated to chocolate bars, basically all the kombucha you could ask for, all the Ciao Bella you could want (and Steve's and Ben and Jerry's to boot), plenty of organic/vegan/gluten free baked goodies and snacks, plenty of Larabars, and a deli with breakfast sandwiches (I can't wait to grab a bacon, egg, and cheese on the way to the bus!). Oh, and there is an excellent beer selection. The best one I've seen in Fresh Meadows thus far. Additionally, the staff is friendly and helpful, and everything is reasonably priced. I didn't see a single product that cost more than it would at Whole Foods. Most of the stuff was the same, or a little bit less. So go here! It's amazing. read more

Really wide variety of natural and organic products also grocery's are a pretty good selection as well. Don't forget the flowers Christmas trees and Poinsettia for Christmas and of course the beer selection is nice too read more

Ordered 16 wraps to be placed on a sandwich platter for a party . They did a beautiful job with presentation. I was impressed and so were the guests . Thank you Fresh Meadows Natural ! read more

This place was okay when it first opened. I'm not sure if it's that they don't have enough customers or they just don't care anymore. I've recently come across lots of rotten produce in store and have even bought a few items that immediately went bad once I brought them home. Their flowers are an absolute joke. I purchased some this morning and by midday they were already dead. I'm not going to bother with this store anymore .............. Pros: good selection of organic products and natural items you can't find in the neighborhood. Most of the staff are helpful and friendly. Good beer selection. Cons: management of the deli counter is atrocious!!!!! I barely order anything from the counter because it takes so long. Expect to wait ten minutes or more for cold cuts or a sandwich and if you come in on a weekend the wait might be longer. The deli counter is a living nightmare. read more

Love this store! Been a frequent shopper for a few years now. Nice selection of natural/organic products, just a little pricey. Also, they sell amazing flower bouquets! read more

Open 24/7! Yes! The place is spacious and very clean -- they specialize in organic so while there are "regular" groceries, the selection is not wide. The Deli section is great and also open 24 hours (grill is closed from 3-5am though) but the sandwiches are pricey. I'm deducting one star since while their beer selection is great (many craft ales) the restock inventory is not good - I'll grab a pack and come back later in the week and they're all gone. It takes them a while to restock. Other than that, great place! read more

It is expected that a 24 hour grocery store will lean on the expensive side. However, due to convenience, this is my "emergency go-to" for things like organic carrots, apples, sweet potatoes, and pears. The grill also appears to operate 24 hours and I tried the BLT this morning and found it quite satisfying. I will ask my wife whether she liked her Fresh Meadows on a roll. Looked interesting! There are other items like "healthy" chips and "healthy" crackers. I don't believe the hype for a second. These items are relatively expensive, packaged in a tiny manner in terms of volume (with a big box to boot), and many of them are just as addictive. I will likely come back anyway, though, because the space usually appears relatively well-stocked and clean. read more

A very convenient health food store. It's billed as a 24 hour store, but the hot kitchen closes early in the evenings. Prices here are on the high end. Good assortment of Asian/exotic products. Huge assortment of organic confections up front, chocolate! Produce here is good but iffy as well given some items sit for a long time. read more

I've been going to this store for years until yesterday this cashier rudely and maybe racist treated me like everything I touched was diseased. She packed my groceries in a bag , the bag ripped as everything fell into the floor she rudely told me to pick up the ripped bag to make sure it's thrown in the garage. Everything that was on the counter she refused to touch. I will never shop here again. Groceries are over priced as well ! read more

I am a fairly loyal customer to this place. I stop in every time I frequent the Citibank, rite aid or nail salon. I buy food, flowers, groceries, you name it. However as of today they have lost one. LOST. I'm used to the constant markups, today was the limit. I ordered a breakfast sandwich that should have cost 3.25 asked what were the bread options and selected one. Got to the counter to have to pay over $6. I said to the cashier, I think it's 3.25. She calls the guy at the grill over and he rudely dismisses me saying the roll I picked was 1.50 extra. A) you should have told me that when I asked what was included B) Don't ever speak to anyone like that, much less a customer C) In good faith you could have honored the price knowing you were being dishonest. To be clear it was the guy taking the orders (maybe Filipino?) not the guy doing the cooking. This is not the first instance of rude dismissiveness in this place, but it will be the last. If I'm going to spend 6+ dollars on a mediocre breakfast sandwich, you better believe it won't be here. read more

The neighborhood doesn't have many grocery stores like this. The thing that stands out to me is the beer aisle. They got a pretty good selection of craft brews that I don't find anywhere in Eastern Queens. My issues with this place is that things can be more expensive for no reason. For example, why does sriracha need to be about 80 cents more expensive than in regular grocery stores? Other than that, the fact that it's 24 hours is pretty convenient. read more

Great 24/7 organic market! The place is kept very clean, neat, well organized. We were here late night so the place wasn't busy at all. The prices here are a little steep but well, you're paying for convenience. Parking in front can be tough but no worry, you'll find plenty of space in the back parking lot. Another thing that we like about this place is their beer selection. This is definitely a place that we will go to whenever we want to get some beers late night. If you live nearby & like to do your grocery shopping late night, this place is worth stopping by. read more

Terribly disappointed. Order sandwich over phone , arrived 15-20 min later to pick up. Asked cashier, he advise it wasn't ready, waited 15 +minutes at the deli counter. Deli boy never acknowledged me. I then asked he pointed to the cashier who he just handed 2 sandwiches , I asked the girl to confirm the sandwich and it was another order. After going back and forth for 5 minutes the deli boy realizes he has another "made" sandwiches that he hands over. So 45 min later the sandwich is handed over. FUCK To bad this is a regular deal. It's like an emotional roller coaster getting food from them. read more

Not a busy Sunday about 2:30 pm in this establishment, maybe other 5 people around in the whole place, no customers at the sandwich-prep station though, only me waiting to be noticed by any of the 2 guys on the other side of the counter. At my third "Hi!" I finally get one of the guys who turns to me, leans over the counter holding a pen and a pad to take my order, his literal words: "talk to me, dog". Exactly, shocking! Where did that come from? I have no idea. My tone saying "Hi" to get their attention wasn't rude, so it didn't come from anything that I personally did to the guy as that was our whole interaction so far. When I told him that he should be careful on how he talks to customers, considering that it might have been an [accident], he said "I was talking about the football match" (the one he was watching on a smart phone as he was taking my order). I asked him "What does - talk to me, dog - have to do with the football game" he just remained silent. There has been one more incident with another employee in the past months, which I won't detail because it wasn't worse than the most recent event, but it confirms the culture of this place, that and the fact that management did not respond to the email I sent letting them know about the situation. I've been coming to this store for a year, about twice per week since I moved to the neighborhood, and noticed what other customers have written on previous reviews, some of the staff have an anti-customer attitude. It's not just that they don't want to deal with you but they are proactive at showing it. For this behavior to be so evident among the workers there, the philosophy must come from above. Most likely the manager himself, who in the two occasions of an incident wasn't around, promotes the wrong notion of that customers are too demanding or 'they need us more than we need them", so you can disrespect them at no risk. They are overlooking the concept and relevance to a business of something called CUSTOMER SERVICE. Google it, David (they provided me with the manager's name). I'd like to see what happens to this business when a competitor opens its doors in the area, not even that, FreshDirect and AmazonNow have amazing options for customers that already pay the price at this spot. A business can go broke in a blink of an eye. Pay attention. read more

It's awesome that it is open 24/7. I ate an already prepared wrap which was smaller than my boyfriends hand which costed almost $5.00. I got sick and so did he.. The salads are okay. I would just stick to the packaged stuff... don't know how long the sandwiches stay out... read more

I've been coming here for years & I love this deli. The food is great. I come her for there sandwiches & wraps. But for the past year, every single time I come the guy that makes the sandwiches is on break. I find it so bizarre that I have come here the last couple of times and at different times & he's always on break. What I do not understand is how someone can go on break & nobody is covering him. So customers have to wait 30 minutes to make an order. So what happens when the cashier is on break? Do we have to wait 30 minutes to pay for our groceries? Another thing I find absolutely ridiculous was that the cashier who told us the sandwich guy was on break has made sandwiches for us in the past. & because there was not another soul in the store at the time , I told him "you make good sandwiches too!" He gave me a very sarcastic smile & a thank you. We ended up grabbing something else from the store but in the time we were there the guy was just standing there doing absolutely NOTHING! How is this acceptable?! This is not how you run a business! If someone is on break , another should be covering! Especially if the store is EMPTY ! This guy was just standing there ! Unacceptable!! This has been happening too many times! Management should definitely look into who's running the establishment while they are not there because it looks like they're just milking the clock & not working. read more

Sandwiches are always great here, but just a warning that their GrubHub pick up via seamless is super broken... I ordered 2 sandwiches and it only came up as 1 on their end even though through the app I paid for two. But the cashier (girl with glasses) is amazing - thank you for helping us figure everything out taking care of us even when things got busy)! to the owners - pls staff better during weekend nights and give this girl a raise cause she was handling everything like a boss! read more

First of all expensive ( small tomato is one dollar in the middle of summer)and watch out for the pretty young cashier, she put the five dollars change on the counter then asked me about my tee shirt " Is Margaritaville good ? she asked pointing at my tee shirt. I proceeded to tell her about my experience in Key west and left. Also forgot to take my change which she insisted she gave me. Well...Live and learn, my bad. I suppose she needs the five bucks more than me. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's kind of pricey but the sandwiches are amazing! But today sadly, I made a order over the phone and this girl who was very rude messed up my order! I didn't know turkey with everything was just turkey and bread!!! Seriously, my sister and I was super upset at the beach! read more

Pretty good place to get all the organic goodies!! I'm glad they opened this gem. They have all types of kombucha flavors you can think or, all types of protein related healthy organic paleo things. The price is pretty solid for what you'd normally pay for organic things.. they do have a parking lot too which is a plus. Only downside is- check the expiration dates before you buy (goes for everywhere you go). I bought chips but they're expiring tomorrow. Otherwise, I'd definitely come here often. read more

This place is unbelievable with the phone orders!!! I come here at least 3 times a week and depending on whoever picks up the phone my order is always wrong. I always double confirm my order before hanging up and yet is still wrong. I usually only order 2 breakfast sandwich, how hard is it to get it right? I have called back to complain and all they say is "oh I'm sorry." They don't even offer to make me a new sandwich. SMH. read more

I probably visit this place twice a week for their delicious cold-cut sandwiches. They are a continence store with your basic needs along with a few selection of organic goods. The great part about them is the deli section is open until late(2a.m) and they are just big fat stacked sandwiches well worth the fair price. Try out their multi grain sub toasted with honey maple turkey, avacado, spinach, tomato, Gouda cheese, topped with mayo and honey mustard. It's my to go to when I get late night cravings and looking for a "heathy" alternative that won't have me feel so guilty afterwards. read more

Located in the CitiBank strip center at 188th St + 73rd Ave. The store is excellent. Warmly lit cool'n'classy atmosphere. Not a cold bright supermarket. Enter front or from big parking lot in the rear. Balanced selection of prepared foods, salads, wraps, desserts, produce, sandwich counter, loads of beverages, dairy and non-dairy and organic foods. Fresh flowers for a thoughtful gift or to brighten your own home. Post Note: The comments about prices make me "laugh". This isn't the store where most people will shop for their whole week's groceries. It's the local store where you drop in for a few items. To compare a small private store to Fairway and Trader Joes (neither of which are close-by) is like comparing a local store to WalMart. If we lose this store, we lose a valuable small business in our neighborhood. This is a great place and we're fortunate to have it. We really need to support this place so it stays in business. read more

I'll come here if I don't want to drive to Fairway or if it's too late. Where else are you going to find a 24 hour organic/natural market? There's a parking lot behind the market with plenty of spots that leads to the back entrance. The place is kept very clean and organized. There is a good selection of drinks, beers (some hard-to-find ones), snacks, dairy products, etc. Prices here are a little on the higher side, but the convenience and location makes it well-worth it for people like me who live in the neighborhood. I haven't had their deli sandwiches yet, but my roommate says they are delicious. The employees don't look too friendly, but if you need help they'll be more than willing to offer their assistance. Just ask! Did I mention this market is open 24 hours?! read more

A bit pricey, don't come here hungry! I bought soo many snacks because I browsed the aisles and temptation won over. Try the beet "chips" they are on the display in front of the register. I ordered the Fresh Meadows wrap and should've added protein bc it doesn't come with any nor does it come with sauce/dressing. You have to ask for both. Aside from that, the staff was friendly and my wrap was still pretty delicious. I like the big parking lot and entrance in the back. Very convenient! I'll definitely be back to get a sandwich or wrap with chicken next time! read more

Fresh Meadows Natural - The Fresh Meadows on a whole wheat wrap - Grocery Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

Ordered the 188th street sandwich from the deli. excellent service. Store is clean and well stocked.

Wow!! This market has it ALL! There is a wide selection of organic, natural AND gourmet items. The deli counter has a solid array of offerings and the sandwiches are outstanding. My favorite is the Honeymoon on 7grain. Just get it. So tasty! While it's not the most inexpensive store, it is great to grab a lunch on the run, a few odds and ends or some snacks for an impromptu gathering. Also- their beer selection? EPIC. And they're open ***24 HOURS*** !!!! While this is certain to offend many people, that won't stop me. This place is like Cherry Valley without the heart attack. They'll make you an egg sandwich at 3 am. Or a turkey burger. Or a veggie burger. Fresh Meadows Natural is my go-to spot at all hours and I hope it'll soon be yours too. read more

Well-organized, clean, pretty good selections, and fair prices. In addition to the usual supermarket-type goods, they have fresh flowers, a deli, and some refrigerated prepared foods. I wish they had hot prepared foods, but it's not a dealbreaker. A huge plus is that they are open 24 hours! A surprising but welcome market for the Fresh Meadows area. read more

I tried their "73rd ave" sandwich. It has arugula, mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, abd prosciutto. I really like this sandwich. I've tried others too and liked them all. Their grocery is a little extensive, I think. I don't really buy organic/healthy groceries. read more

Fresh Meadows Natural - "73rd avenue" - arugula, mozzarella, prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes - Grocery Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

I frequent this deli and I have no problems. Sometimes the wait for a sandwich is longer than others but it is because this place is pretty popular for breakfast and lunch so plan accordingly. The sausage egg and cheese as well as the Just Italian sandwich are my go-to orders. I personally have never had an issue with the staff. Some of the items (not the sandwiches) are a bit on the pricey side but overall a nicely decorated clean food establishment. read more
