Let me preface by saying Yelp is like therapy for me. "THIS FOOD STINKS." Ahh, now I feel better…read more Now for the task at hand - Foodtown is a small neighborhood supermarket. Haven't been here in awhile and seems like they have new personnel, but in the past they use to sell items with expired expiration dates (this is from personal experience) - so it might be a good idea to check. My wife says Rao's Marinara sauce was cheaper at BJ's, but the organic chopped meat was cheaper at Foodtown - so know your prices. Also, parking can be a problem. Overall, it's Ok for small shoppping excursions - 3 stars.

Produce is generally fresh, and the prices are reasonable - they have good sales, which will lure you in to stay and browse longer since they have no other similar competition. The parking situation here annoys me a lot. I'm sure the lot is shared by customers at the supermarket and MFC (and possibly the businesses next door), but they have an employee actively monitoring actual customers and cars coming in/out, and they can't even bother to make the lot safer and cleaner by putting back the carts (customers absolutely should do this anyway).

On behalf of The Center for the Women of New York, I want to extend a sincere thank you to Bayside…read moreMilk Farms for their generous donation to our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala. As a valued local market, they provided hearty veggies and homestyle meatballs. The vegetables were prepared in a rich, savory sauce that gave them a comforting, slow-cooked flavor, and the meatballs were tender and well-seasoned. Our guests appreciated the classic, home-style preparation. It is because of supportive local businesses like Bayside Milk Farms that we are able to raise important funds for our mission of supporting women in the New York community. Their willingness to contribute to a local cause shows their deep care for the neighborhood, and it is exactly why I make a point to support community-minded businesses like theirs. We highly recommend Bayside Milk Farms for their generosity and commitment to the community. Thank you for being a wonderful partner and for helping us make a difference.

Whenever I'm getting home late from work and I don't feel like cooking or need some last minute…read moregroceries, I make a detour off the Clearview Expy and head to HMart. This store used to be a Waldbaums back in the day and had been taken over by the Korean supermarket chain. It's not as big as other HMarts in the suburbs, but definitely larger than others in Flushing, so can offer a larger variety of goods. The parking lot is also not as big and is full almost all of the time, but you can also park at the parking lot of the Webster Bank next door after hours or on the street. Grab a cart and start shopping! As you enter through the automatic sliding doors, sale items like toilet paper, snacks and rice are stacked high in the vestibule. The inner door opens into the produce section with stacks of Korean pears, fresh cut fruit platters and other exotic vegetables & fruits you would not find at your local Key Food or Stop-N-Shop. The Seafood section is also unique in that they stock live exotic species like abalone, sole, Asian hairy crabs & spiny lobsters. They also have sushi grade tuna, salmon, yellowtail & other sushi favorites. The prepared foods section is where I fill up most of my cart. Marinated chicken (boneless thighs, drumsticks & tenders), ribeye bulgogi, LA kalbi, spicy pork jowl & belly are available to take home straight to your stove or grill. The banchan section is extensive and takes up an entire wall of refrigerated cases as well as some in the aisles. If you don't even want to cook, get some hot prepared meals or something from the food court counter. Remember that the pre-packaged hot foods are 50% off after 5pm. For dessert, there is a Paris Baguette counter also. Order a custom made cake or pick up some pastries to go. If HMart were open 24 hrs, I might grab a comforter, roll myself up like a dumpling and never have to leave!

I usually go for the bugogi, which my daughter loves, and the frozen dumplings. But today, because after 5pm some prepared foods are 50% off, my brother bought 1 container of various sushi, 1 of nigiri, and 1 of BBQ ribs. I don't think you can compare this sushi with the sushi from a Japanese restaurant, but the ones that I tried were ok. Note the sushi usually comes with soy sauce, ginger, and wasabi that you can add. They also have a bakery, a loyalty program, and if you like to garden, Garden World is right next door.

I first visited Food Bazaar during a Yelp event, and since then I've gone back to do some shopping…read more It's become one of my go-to places whenever I'm making Asian-inspired meals because they usually have all the ingredients I need that I can't easily find elsewhere. One of my favorite things about this location is that it has Rockstar Chicken inside. It's perfect when you're hungry and want something hot and quick. Their chicken sandwiches, fries, and other menu items always hit the spot. The store also has a great selection of meats, and while prices vary depending on what you're buying, I can usually find what I need. The staff has always been helpful, even though the service isn't anything particularly memorable. Another big plus is the convenience. It's located just before the heavy traffic starts, making it easy to get in and out. They also have a spacious parking lot, so you don't have to waste time driving around looking for a parking space. Overall, it's a convenient grocery store with a great selection, especially if you're looking for international ingredients.

One of the best things about it is that…read moreit's open 24 hours, which makes it incredibly convenient no matter what time you need to shop. I wouldn't say it's the cheapest grocery store, but it has just about everything you could possibly need. The selection is huge, with a wide variety of brands, fresh produce, seafood, meats, international foods, and specialty items. One thing I do think they need to improve is quality control in the meat department. I once bought a ribeye that looked fine on one side, but when I opened it, the other side was brown and smelled rancid. To their credit, customer service handled it well and offered me an exchange without any issues. I just wish they checked their meat more carefully so situations like that don't happen in the first place. If you're looking for a one stop shop with plenty of options, this is definitely a great place to go.

Unfortunately, their produce is just terrible. Like most of the time 90% rotten and inedible. Plus they tend to sell a lot of dry goods that are expired too.

The employees are friendly enough and usually helpful. It's a good size supermarket so there is a large variety of meats, produce, typical supermarket items, and a deli. Everything is always fresh. Having said this, they are not perfect. Yesterday when I went, they did not have capers or filet mignon. Also, I always buy Marino's choolate Italian Ice, but they never have the coconut flavor in stock. C'mon guys, it's my favorite. I find the check out lines are sometimes long, sometimes fair. The prices are reasonable (get those coupons). Overall, I recommend Stop & Shop, and rate it a solid 4 stars.

This should be an ideal supermarket, and instead its an absolute disaster. How can this be? Its…read morein an ideal location, they have the real estate, and the neighborhood is pretty good, and yet this is such an absolute disaster of a store. Yet, from the prices they charge, you'd think this was a Whole Foods. This is made worse by the fact that the staff seems to not care about their store or the shoppers, and can be openly hostile when inconvenienced. You can see from the reviews how they are with returns, and its true. We had an issue with a single bottle of milk that wasn't sealed properly. First they tried to deny a return based on the 24 hour return window (stated nowhere) had been exceeded. It hadn't even been 12 hours, but nobody bothered to look at the date and time. After having to argue what should have been a non-issue, and getting store management involved, the store then proceeded to claim that the clearly unopened bottle was not leaking (why would we return it, if it was fine) and that it has been swapped out with something else (again, why). After having to argue it for some time, they offered to take it back and swap it, but they would do it for us - because they would not allow us to get our own replacement bottle. After all of the fighting for a $3 half gallon of milk, it was pretty clear they were going to just walk away and come back with the same bottle. We said we couldn't trust they would not give us the same bottle, and they said they were concerned we would just get a bottle with a later date. SO PETTY. Finally they relented and allowed us to get a bottle with the same sell by date, clearly foiling our dastardly plan to get an extra day of milk, because taking the time to bring an unopened milk back and fighting the staff is worth one more sell by date day. I've been living in the area for over 20 years, and this is the third iteration of this supermarket that I'm aware of. It was Waldbaums, then Food Universe, and now Key Food. Every one of these has been awful, and this is very much the worst version of the three.

Living in Bayside without a car makes grocery shopping difficult. If I don't want to pay $2 for…read morethe bus that runs up Bell I can either walk 30 minutes each way to Waldbaum's at Bay Terrace (good for everything but far away), walk almost as far and across two highways to get to the Waldbaum's on Francis Lewis (again, has everything, but isn't as good as the Bay Terrace one), walk 15 minutes to Grande Mela market (more of a bodega), walk 5 minutes to Bell Farm (good for produce, pricey, no meat selections, basic grocery), or walk 10 minutes to C-Town. I usually just try to borrow my roommate's car to go to Waldbaum's and order FreshDirect otherwise, but if I'm in desperate need of groceries other than produce I head down to C-Town. C-Town is good for basics and has a good meat selection (unlike anywhere else within 15 minutes of my apartment), but their produce is often a little sketchy. I usually have a hard time finding un-bruised, fresh-looking fruits and veggies. Prices are decent, and there's an extensive frozen foods and dairy section, but for anything fresh I'd either go to Bell Farm or Waldbaum's (though neither of those can touch Whole Foods or the Greenmarket).

We went here to buy some basic baking goods. I decided to get coffee as there were beans and a…read moregrinder. The grinder made a lot of noise and the coffee came out extremely course with some whole beans in the mix. Clearly the grinder was broken. I shrugged and moved on. I was a couple of aisles away when a manager approached me with the coffee bag in his hand and an expression on his face like he was smelling rotten onions. He was clearly irritated and wanted to know what my problem was that I ground and left the coffee. Feeling no guilt, I calmly informed him that the grinder was broken and showed him the coarseness of the grind as evidence. He asked me to join him at the coffee grinder as he was intent on giving me a lesson on how to operate the thing. Why I went along with him? Not sure. Usually I am not so patient and yielding. The setting was clearly on the line between auto-drip and fine. Undeterred, he thought to run the coffee through again. The noise was even louder than when I tried it. This time the grinder produced not only more partially ground coffee but also a shard of broken blade. Some more dramatic than myself might refer to this as, um, shrapnel. He sort of apologized. Not enough.
