My wife wanted mangos so off I went. This place was near the nail salon we were patrons of so I took the short work across the square. The smell of the fruits was the first thing I encountered and boy was a good encounter. This coupled with the freshest mangos I've seen in Jersey City, man it's a win in my book.

I recently visited Hoboken for the first time (no, really) and it was a rather hot day and I needed…read moreto hydrate and thankfully I ran across Natural and Plus. The outside looked like an old fashioned deli/grocery with tables/stands outside for fruit and flowers. However, once you step inside you see a deli that looks like one of the nicer ones you'd come across in Manhattan's West Village. Based on the other reviews I've read below, it seems like this space has been renovated recently. The buffet table I've seen mentioned is no longer there. The shelves look new(ish) and the items on shelves are very organized. On top of that, the selection is impressive. There was an entire section of hot sauces including Siracha. On another shelf were some fancy low sugar bags of granola (that cost $13.99 *each*). It is a bit cramped when you navigate the aisles, but it I didn't knock anything over by accident so it's not bad. I snagged a bottle of water and was thrilled when the cashier told me it was only $1. I'm so used to going to Target or Shop Rite and having to pay $2 something for a water. It was cool to see even if Natural and Plus sells fancier stuff, not all their prices are high. I'd happily go back to Natural and Plus to grab a drink (and maybe some fresh cut fruit). Check it out if you're in the area!

Their prices aren't dirt cheap enough for me to give 5 stars, but the products are good, service is friendly, and I'd much rather give them my business than one of the main chains. They sell some veggies to Kale for, and there's not really Mushroom for improvement.

A quick review for a pleasant and easy experience…read more I picked up 8 bottles of cupcake wine for a work event. I normally see cupcake wine priced at around 13 or 14 a bottle, but at Village Market bottles were fairly priced at 10.99. I can't speak much on the rest of the selection because I didn't spend too much time shopping around. I will say that the customer service was fantastic. The cashier noticed that I needed to carry 8 bottles out by myself. He helped me by packing a few different small bags, and even packed a few of the bottles in my purse with bottle separators to help ease the heavy carrying. There are a few BYOB restaurants around, so if you need to pick up a wine bottle pre-dinner this is a convenient option.

I love a good local farmer's market and this one is one to support. It's a bit small but has all…read morethat you're looking for in a market, fresh produce, food, pastry, local art. I went and got Stella's Empanadas (also located in Kearny, NJ) and tried the spicy beef, Philly steak and Mac and cheese. I really liked the spicy beef and Philly steak because of the flavors! I also went to get pastries from Choc O Pain French bakery's booth and tried their chocopain (of course), financier and tropical cake. Surprise to see they had gluten free and vegan options, not that I have restrictions but great to know. The pastries were also very flavorful in that they taste exactly how you'd expect them to! They run the farmers market until Dec 21, 3-7p, so no doubt I'll come across this farmer's market again!

My quest for rose water naturally led me to the area of Egyptian shops around Journal Square. This…read moreone was particularly nice, well lit, clean, with friendly staff. This is a bazaar style, meaning there is more than just food here. On one side is a row of ceramics with an Egyptian theme, in the front is a wealth of different types of perfume oils. Most of the Middle Eastern perfumes are oils (no alcohol used) and they are mainly oud based (woody) for the men and fruit (peach, apple) and flower (mainly rose) for the women with an amber and/or musk base. The perfume oils have potent sillage, projection, and longevity, which is why some can be very expensive. They are expensive to make as well, esp if the perfume has saffron or other ingredients that are difficult and time consuming to source. They are some less expensive roll ons by the counter. The grocery area is well stocked with everything you can imagine. [Except for Joray apricot fruit rolls that I used to get from Sahadi's in Brooklyn. Joray are semi local: NYC made for years by a Lebanese family, and I think everyone would like them if they decided to stock (hint hint).] Anyways, lots of great stuff. Try new spices like sumac on your fish, add some mint water to your water bottle or rose water to your coffee, branch out!

I love this local, family owned produce store in the Central Ave. Shopping area of the Heights…read moreneighborhood. It is small but has everything you need such as fruits, vegetables, some bread like Portuguese rolls, canned goods, eggs, milk, even cheeses and packaged cured meats like sausages and hams. No fresh meat or seafood but I go to Pampita Meat Shop (great Argentine and Americans cuts) and the seafood shop across the street for those. The price is great - I would buy 2-3 bags full of fresh groceries to feed two people for the entire week and more and the total still usually comes out under $50. When I was living on the other side of JSQ, I used to frequent another similar produce shop called "Mira Fruit & Farm" on JFK Blvd (I wonder if it's owned by the same person?) We are talking 4 grapefruits for $1, a package of blueberries for $1, a bag of 3 bell peppers for $1, 6 limes for $1 price range. Some things are pricier here, like bananas, which usually cost 69 cents or even 79 cents per pound when I can get it for 49 cents per pound at Shop Rite in downtown. Regardless, I like supporting small mom and pop businesses so I will continue to be a regular here! I like to juice at home often so this is a great place to source celery, cucumber, carrots, apples, ginger, lemons, beets at very affordable prices since I go through them quickly in large quantity. I have no doubt the owner of Young's Farm is Korean or at least Asian because they have a limited but good selection of Asian goods too like Korean Shin Ramyun and Vietnamese vermicelli noodles, fish sauce, sriracha, and jarred kimchi in the refrigerated section, etc. My tip would be to go there early on Saturday (before 9 am) because by the afternoon on Sat and Sun, all the freshest pickings will be gone. Also, while the prices are super cheap, look and pick carefully to make sure your box of berries doesn't have mold growing in it and try to pick the freshest one. Many of the packaged goods like berries, cherries, tomatoes that are outside the shop on the stall as "specials" are already in advanced ripe stage so eat within 2-3 days max. They are perfectly find to eat, just shorter shelf life. My guess is the store operates in a very similar way as some of these new delivery companies like Imperfect Foods and Misfits Markets do in terms of sourcing their products, by taking less "perfect" produce directly from farms and producers and resell at the store at cheaper costs. I always have good fun poking around what's available here at least every other weekend.

Like most places on Central Avenue it has a Latin flair…read more Young's Farm is known for their fruits and vegetables in Latin cooking such as plantains, mangos, guavas, yucca and I even saw Aloe. My wife had to explain to me that Aloe is also used in cooking. I have only known it for treating burns. They also have a lot of Goya products. The woman that waited on me today was very helpful. I had gone in looking for strawberries and blueberries and was unable to find them. She told me they would be back in stock in the next couple of weeks. It is a nice little fruit and vegetable shop for your last minute items if you are on the Avenue. They have a good selection and their prices are reasonable. As for parking, try the Dunkin Donuts parking lot right around the corner or you can go behind Burger King. They have a large parking lot though you do have to feed the meter.
