I went and ordered a sandwich at the counter and the register guy literally gave me a death stare…read morefor five seconds before saying "order with him (sandwich guy). It's too confusing when you order with me". Then when I asked if he had cups with ice he just said "yes..." and stared at me again with a creepy , agro look. When I asked him where they were he pointed behind the counter (of course I didn't know where they were !) As I was paying he said to the sandwich guy "man I know I'm dumb but some people are really stupid". I've grown up in this city and seen some things in my day but this was next level! I can tolerate a little grumpy or rude , but this was just creepy. Of the owner is reading this he had tattoos and a beard. Good lord

Nice small grocery and deli near the Barclays Center. For years, I've come here for small items…read morelike beverages or chips. In the last few years, I've started to get hot food from the deli, which is both pretty good and fairly priced. The guys at the counter are pleasant and helpful, when needed. They have prices on all the beverages and all their deli items which makes the experience must easier and no surprises. In case you're looking for lotto, cigarettes or alcohol-- they do not have any of those items here... just an FYI.

I'm blown away by being able to walk into a random bodega in NYC and having possibly one of the…read morebest sandwiches I've ever eaten. It's not the first time it's happened to me, but it did happened here. I wanted to try a chopped cheese and got one with no onions. They offer rolls or heros and I went big. Did not regret it. Reminded me a lot of a cheesesteak but with ground beef and lettuce and tomatoes. Absolutely loved it. The bread was a highlight. I swear nowhere I know of on the west coast has bread like this. It blows my mind. Friendly staff, good selection of other groceries, fast service, and at a good price. I'll definitely be back on my next visit.

Like many, I was super excited to have a natural mini market open within walking distance of my…read morehome. I had been in this market several times and was happy with the selection and the service. That was until last week. I went in the store last week to order on omelet. I asked the disgruntled man behind the counter for an omelet with Turkey bacon and American cheese. He asked me what kind of omelet I wanted. I was confused because I had just told him the type of omelet I wanted. I repeated my order, and the gentleman began to "school" me on what exactly on omelet was. Aside from the fact that he was wrong, I repeated my order. He gave me whatever he wanted and I left. I went in today, and the same disgruntled man was behind the counter. I stood there for a minute waiting for him to acknowledge me. He then came to the counter, took his headphones out of his ear, and begrudgingly asked me what I wanted. I repeated the same order from last week. And the we had the same disagreement. His unwillingness to just give me what I ordered and his innate need to "school" me incorrectly caused me to say "forget it." I grabbed my coffee and left. So here's the thing, I will NEVER go back to this store again (and neither will anyone I know) simply because the man behind the deli counter is rude, condescending, and unaware that the customer is always right. All he had to do was give me what I wanted. I guess I wasn't the type of customer he wanted to serve this morning, because he was quite pleasant to others, but I digress. Nonetheless, I won't be going back there. If I am supporting your business, the very least you can do for me is be nice. So while the store itself and its contents are appealing, I will not go back because the service is disappointing, to say the least. I would give less than 1 star if I could, because service is of the utmost importance to me; they fail in this category. But good luck; you would fare better by getting rid of the guy behind the service counter...he diminishes the appeal.

I live a few blocks from this corner bodega. It is family-run by a father and his two sons. And…read morealthough in New York these are a dime a dozen, I like this one because they are friendly and like to strike up a coversation. And sometimes that is really what you need. One morning, I was feeling particularly down and needed a fix. I trotted over to the bodega to get my fix and the son's owner chatted me up. He was really nice and even offered me a nice hot cup of coffee, on the house. I was speechless. He didn't know it, but he brightened my day. Sometimes it is the small things in life that matter. And even though there is another bodega (more up-scale) next door, J and J now has my loyalty. Thanks for making my day. That personal touch is priceless.

Since I live so close and I prefer to cook I never really get the prepared foods but I've been meaning to try the falafel. I'm not expecting gourmet, but I bet they do a solid job. What keeps me coming back though, is the staff. Obviously I don't have far to walk but I always choose these guys over their neighbors. It's a family business, with three generations working behind the counter and they're all helpful and engaging in their own ways. They may not have the same hipster vibe as some other businesses in the area (many of which, just to be clear, I happily patronize) but if you're looking to support a local, family-owned business and shoot the shit while you're at it, look no further.

Let's face it, the line at Lucali can be excruciatingly long and it's BYOB and cash only, so it's nice to have a tidy and well-run convenience store with beer, an ATM machine, and friendly owners just 100 feet away.
