I shopped here because it was so close to the hotel i was staying at. I did not buy any real food…read moreso i cannot evaluate that. I just got some drinks(beer, soda, water) and some snack items for the hotel. However, this place is pretty large and looks like it has whatever you might want.

Nor can I get anyone who "does" the online service management or get relevant answers from the Contact Us link. Last night I got to the checkout, and then the site kept asking me for the order number. ??? That ended the order going through. Mohammed tried to help by doing it verbally over the phone but there were too many items to deal with. It had been a go-to-shop for me since it opened, but after an accident I can't easily go in-person and now apparently I can't shop there at all or find anyone who is responsible/helpful for the site's customer functionality.

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.

I've only had good experiences. The food is pretty good and the market itself is clean and has a great selection.

I like this spot!

I can't remember if they have meats besides like cured meats. A lot of snack type stuff here. It's basically like in between a bodega and a grocery store. This is where I come if I want bodega stuff and slightly more, and the store is cleaner than most bodegas. The guy at the cashier who I assume is the owner is really nice too.

4 & 1/2. WOW @ this insanely good beer selection here now! Sometime within the past year or so…read morethis place SERIOUSLY updated their beer selection with a focus on rarer craft beers. Think going deep into the smaller batch offerings of many local brands in particular like Barrier, Evil Twin, Other Half and Kelso, as well as national stars like Half Acre and Stillwater among others. Its gotten to the point that it often rivals the selection of the excellent Goldstar Beer Counter a block away, minus the growlers. As you can see, whats driving this high rating is chiefly the beer selection, it really might just be quietly one of the best in BK and I hesitate to blow up my own spot but I must give credit where it is due, and its very much due here. Beyond that the place is one of the more bougie "gourmet" delis that are found throughout the metro that generally represent a step or so up from the humble bodega, both in terms of quality/selections of offerings and in pricing. Staff is friendly and efficient and again the beer selection is AMAZING...

Was in the area and looking for a quick sandwich option…read more Came into Albemarle and they seemed like they had a variety of options (breakfast sandwiches, rolls/hero's etc). I chose to go with the JJ Sandwich (breaded chicken, mozzarella, jalapeños etc). I get to the cash register and a woman rings me up and mumbles something in another language to the man who's preparing the food she then proceeds to add a dollar onto my order and doesn't tell me why. Upon opening the sandwich, the chicken cutlet is soggy and seems like it was made days ago. Not sure if there other sandwiches are better but this sandwich for $13.50 was extremely underwhelming. I could've gotten a lunch special at a Thai restaurant down the street for cheaper and better food.

I will get the occasional breakfast sandwich (like an egg and cheese or bec), or a turkey/cheese sandwich for lunch or dinner. Otherwise, they have a pretty good menu of other types of sandwiches. Depending on who is making the sandwich, it will vary. Definitely a safe bet either way. They also have your usual snacks like potato chips, sodas, beers, and what not. I've been here a number of times because I'll be in the neighborhood. This is definitely one of my favorite bodegas around. My favorite part being how personable and friendly the family who runs it. They've now become a familiar face. Overall, a recommend for if you happen to be passing by. It's conveniently located by the F/G subway stop, so it's hard to miss.
