I have been going here for 6+ years and love it Never thought about writing a review but saw there hasn't been a review in a few years This is my go to for fruit and veggies. Produce tends to stay fresher and is cheaper than when I buy the same from union market right across the street. They also have great selection of nuts and snacks to make my own trail mix I can usually find everything I need for a recipe here especially Asian veggies which is soooo nice read more

Cobble Hill is lucky in that we have access to great grocery stores like Trader Joe's and Union Market, but I still find myself coming to K&Y all the time because they have such a great selection of products, and always very fresh produce. One of my favorite things about K&Y is that they have lots of produce (especially Asian ones) that you can't find at TJoe's: for example, gailan (Chinese broccoli), baby bok choy, whole artichokes, broccoli rabe, butternut squash, Thai basil, serrano peppers, just to name a few. Their roma tomatoes are so much riper than TJoe's as well. In addition to produce, they have lots Asian goods that you can pick up without going to Chinatown such as sesame oil, curries, rice noodles, etc etc. This is a family owned place that also runs Atlantic Fruit & Vegetable. Can read more about this business here: http://southbrooklynpost.com/2010/01/k-y-veggies/. Highly recommend this place for fresh produce at very reasonable prices. read more

The produce is excellent, and the prices are similar to, and on certain items even better than my other go-to produce shops, Atlantic Vegetable & Food or Pacific Green up the block. Everything is laid out in a shockingly organized, sensible manner. And it's even fairly clean. But that's not all! Are you the laziest piece of shit around? You especially are going to LOVE shopping at K&Y. Because when it's been a long day and you don't even feel like peeling your onions, trimming your green beans, or chopping your peppers, pineapple, mango, papaya, carrots, cabbage, celery, artichokes and more...you can walk out of K&Y without feeling as though you've been price-gouged. Even with all the "work" done for you, the prices are still pretty reasonable. And that's a rarity around here (I'm looking at you Key Food). read more

K & Y Fruit and Vegetable - Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

K&Y Fruit & Vegetable looks like a typical Chinatown fresh produce market including low and reasonable prices compared to the bigger markets nearby. Besides being in Cobble Hill, the difference from Chinatown is that everything here looks clean, neat and tidy. Orderly vegetable bins make everything look fresher. Prices are clearly marked. It's cool to see a mom & pop store make it in the neighborhood. While there may be no jelly here, usually we hit K&Y for the cheap, fresh produce and head to TJ for everything else. read more

K & Y Fruit and Vegetable - Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Awesome place. Thanks for the reviews here everyone - made me come by to take a look - and I'm about 10 blocks SE on 7th Ave, so that's saying something. The range of fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs and ...tofu is incredible. It's a good 20min walk back to my apartment after coming off the bus but it's still worth the trip. I count my many blessings. And K&Y is one of them :D read more

Fresh, high quality & wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Some items are more expensive than supermarket prices but you can't beat the quality. read more

This place rocks. Sometimes I get lazy and forget about this place for a while....then I'd come back and wonder why I haven't been shopping here. It seems I get distracted by Fairway, Costco and Fei Long Supermarket (chinese) with their FREE parking. But those places are destination shops and usually mean big purchases. But for variety of fresh vegetables --this place can't be beat, for prices --this place can't be beat, and for freshness, ---this place can't be beat. They have lots of fresh herbs, a variety of mushrooms, a few exotic vegetables when in season, and lots of fresh greens. Yesterday I got 4 limes for $1, 4 lemons for $1 and small pomegranates for $1....gosh, I haven't seen these kinds of prices in an age! I left weighed down with two bags of produce and spent like $17. I was so excited I had to come home and yelp about it :D I did consider whether to knock down a star bc there was no organic selections....but they never claimed to be organic. So --no problem, for the things I HAVE to buy organic I go across the street and pay 3x more. read more

See all

I love coming here for produce and fresh herbs. They have a great selection of pantry items as well. I'm always surprised at my total when the cashier rings me up, not only is the produce the freshest in the neighborhood but it's very well priced read more

I'm a big fan of this place. Great variety, including fresh tofu, mushrooms (oyster, shirataki, etc), greens, herbs..they carry shirataki products and miso, plus a solid assortment of sauces. Prices range from reasonable to cheap. Produce stays fresh a long time. And the workers are nice. Long lines move fast. read more

See all

They don't sell beer (or personal lubricant for that matter), but their produce is fresh, and the shop is clean. Prices are what you'd expect for Court St. read more

This is the only place I buy fruit and fresh vegetables from! Good selection at a great price! Plus the staff is always very friendly. Best fruit shop in the city!! read more

In a city where you rarely feel that you're charged a "fair" price for something, this place bucks the trend. I never feel like I'm getting ripped off here, whether its buying pre-cut squash, tomatoes on the vine, greens, etc. Everything is always fresh, clean, and easy to find. Highly recommended for produce if you live in the area. read more

I find the term 'Neighborhood Gem' a somewhat Cliched term to describe a great find convenient to ones home location, but in this case I'll gladly indulge this super little store only a few blocks from my home. It's a fairly small space yet it has almost everything you could possibly want in terms Fruit and Veg and a handy supply of every day basic grocery items to boot! And that's not all, the prices seem very fair compared to others places in the vicinity that (shall remain nameless*) and are a complete rip off in comparison. The produce is fresh and of the highest quality. Shopping here at this 'Neighborhood Gem' is like a breath of fresh air! * Hint: Across the road read more

Reasonable prices especially for the quality and in this neighborhood. While it is a gem, I do want everyone in this neighborhood to know about it and frequent it more often in order to keep this mom-and-pop treasure around. (I was heartbroken to see the Pacific bodega/grocer--was caddy corner fr TJs--close awhile back. They were phenom. I frequently bought certain items from them even though TJs was just across the street.) Anyways, K&Y, first off, has sweet, normal-sized, normal-lasting fruits and veggies. Yes, that's right, I'm calling out all the shady people pumping the people's produce with chemicals to make them huge and last abnormally long. Looks like it's on steroids! I don't want to eat that shit. I buy fruits and veg to put GOOD shit in my body. Seems like K&Y keeps it real. They also sell Asian items like noodles, kbbq sauce, gochujang, thai basil, etc which has in a pinch saved me trips to Chinatown. Please, please expand to sell more green Asian veggies like Gai choy (all the choys), Gai lan, Water spinach/morning glory, fuzzy melon, long melon, chayote, etc--Would totally be deserving of 6 stars then! K&Y is a combo of TJs, your greenmarket vendor and a mini chinatown except that it's clean and orderly with friendly, civilized staff and customers. They're by no means a one-stop shop like TJs but skip Union Market unless you can't find what you're looking for at K&Y. K&Y, thanks for being a part of this bougie neighborhood. You guys make my day brighter! read more

This place is the best! It's a small store, but they've got a great selection of fresh produce. There's not much in the way of organic foodstuffs, but everything is priced fairly and you never feel like you've paid a minor fortune for spoiled strawberries. When I'm lazy I like to get the cut up broccoli, which runs about 1.25 for a plate. I especially like shopping for produce here over the Met on Henry. I don't need to explain why. Coming here is convenient from either the Bergen or Carroll stop and is conveniently located across the street from Union Market. I like to shop at K&Y for produce then head to UM to get stuff like quinoa, buffalo mozzarella, organic chicken etc. Beyond providing a great value, I like this place because the man who runs it seems very nice and seems to have a good to his employees. Example: I was shopping first thing one morning and the guy walked in and said "good morning!" and ALL the employees responded with a very cheery "good morning" back. Idk, in New York City I think that says a lot. read more

Killer selection, although pricy. Everything looked really fresh and easy to find. I found an artichoke the size of my head that was just succulent. Unfortunately, my bag of grapes went bad in about 12 hours. Nice people at the cash registers - just keep your eyes peeled for the next open one (awkward line up). read more

Maybe I've just been spoiled by the cheap prices I'm used to paying for produce in Chinatown or Essex Market in Manhattan, but I wish this place was just a bit cheaper. It is definitely cheap in comparison to the expensive produce across the street at Union Market and even Met Supermarket on Smith Street. As others have picked up on, this should definitely be your first stop for produce on Court Street and anything you can't find or for all other groceries, cross the street to Union Market. read more

After I discovered K&Y, I shed some tears over the money I wasted on produce at Union Market last year. K&Y has a huge selection of fruits and veggies at the best price in the neighborhood. I don't think they're organic, but they all look fresh and clean. There's also bulk section of nuts, seeds and dried fruits. Again, you won't beat the prices. All of the employees here are friendly, especially the cashiers, which is not my experience at all of the food stores on Court. read more

This place is what you think of when you think neighborhood joint. The people who work here are fast, friendly, and efficient. The selection of produce is great... they offer a wide variety of both veggies and fruits, and at prices that are competitive. I buy my coffee, cheese, and pasta at Union Market, and walk across the street to get my brussel sprouts, pomegranates, and garlic here. $10 limit on credit card transactions. read more

I always feel like i'm robbing these folks whenever I leave the store because the prices are so good. The cashiers are always so helpful and nice. I once saw a lady who returned a half used can of coconut milk that she bought from the store. She told them that it did not taste good. These folks gave her a new can and her money back. No receipts and no fuss. Good service lives! read more

This is where YOU! need to go if you want FRESH Produce at a amazing price forget about all the other places close by like sahadi's and trader joes or even the meat joint on the corner (selling me a rotten watermelon smfh ) i went into K & Y and felt like i was in a farmers market. Everything just screams Ripe and the tags yelled CHEAP! So i left this place feeling like a bandit because the lines were fast, everyone was helpful (THANKS JIMMY!), and i got plenty of cheap fresh veggies to last me til next week =D go and grab some of their fresh seedless watermelons in a container for $2 and your day will perk up instantly. read more

This is my favorite market! Incredibly reasonable, delicious, fresh produce--in my opinion, the best I can find in Brooklyn for these prices. I appreciate that they accept card payments (there was a card minimum of $3 the last time I visited.) My friend and I like to buy watermelon and other seasonal fruit to take to the park and have a fruit-picnic. They have good fresh firm tofu and kimchi as well, and a good range of Asian vegetable staples for awesome prices. There is a selection of grains, seeds, beans, nuts, spices, oils and seasonings here as well. Dry noodles, kelp, mushrooms, and some snacks are available. The little dairy section is pricey, but they have a big case of drinks in the back, with my favorite Ito-en teas. read more

THIS PLACE IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST! The selection of veggies here is better than any other market in the area and the prices can't be beat. Also, everything here is always SO FRESH. The same can't be said about the produce at some of the other gourmet markets and the Met. I also laugh every time I'm at the register and see all the security photos of people stealing. read more

This is the kind of place you can pass by for years and not even give them a second glance. Just looks like a nice bodega that sells fruits and veggies. But they are a gem, especially in this neighborhood where things tend to be expensive. Huge selection of great produce. Always fresh, always well stocked. The prices are just too good to be true. They also have nuts in big containers where you help yourself at very good prices. Staff is helpful and very fast. I just love that I can buy ten things and not spend more than $6. read more

Great staff and great selection of fruits and veggies. Super inexpensive and higher quality in comparison to other neighborhood spots (union market, MET market). read more

For $10, you can feed a family* for a week. *Disclaimer: Vegetarian family. K&Y does not sell meat, only the freshest vegetables within walking distance. read more

I'm confused why the map shows that this is located in Flatbush/Ditmas... I feel conflicted about this place. The prices are so cheap, and they have a wonderful selection of fruits and vegetables, offering things that sometimes even fancy/specialty groceries leave out. And they have a bulk selection, which I always appreciate. But I feel wary of how cheap it is, and how you never know where any of the produce is from, so my true allegiance will always lie with the farmer's market. Especially since there is such a nice one in Carroll Gardens just a few blocks away every week, where if you're a regular customer, you get great deals and it ends up being very affordable. I would shop first at the farmer's market, then K&Y for anything I couldn't find at the market, then as a last resort Union Market. This is the only place in the area that reliably has enough napa cabbage to make a batch of kimchi. And although I usually scoff at packaged vegetables (e.g., pre-cut broccoli florets ready to be microwaved), I actually really do like their soup greens package, which has an assortment of typical soup vegetables, as well as several kinds of aromatics and herbs, all the right amount to make one soup so you're not left with a whole bunch of dill that you can't possibly use before it goes bad. read more

My go-to place for fruits and vegetables for many years. I'm a native Brooklynite and the quality and value at K&Y are excellent. Everything here is fresh, clean, tasty, and--oh yes--affordable. Sure, I can sell a lung for curated, artisanal, bespoke, foraged produce at Union Market or Whole Foods, but I don't care to. read more

Great prices for good produce. They have everything I need except, on the occasion, not all the fresh herbs I'm looking for. Once, I did buy a package of blackberries that I found mold in on the day of purchase; they were sitting in the sun when I bought them, so I'd like to give K&Y the benefit of the doubt. I brought them back and they let me take home a new carton which was all I really wanted. read more

I just discovered this place yesterday after two years living in the neighborhood. I'm a little miffed it took me so long. But I'm also excited to have discovered it so I can now purchase all my fruits and veggies here. This place is the shiz-niz. Wide selection. Fresh-as-heck produce. Best prices in the neighborhood. read more

Just excellent produce at very good prices. Always my first stop for groceries, definitely better than any other grocery stores around Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens. The line can get long sometimes, but the quick staff keeps things moving. read more

Solid produce, best prices in the area.

Favorite spot in the neighborhood for reasonably priced produce. I often go to Union Market for the things that I can't get here and then come back to K&Y for all my produce, dried goods, eggs, etc. Friendly staff and great quality! read more

I haven't written a review in a long time, but felt I had to today. I have been shopping here for years and have always enjoyed both their product and the people who work there. Today I had a horrible experience with who I think is the owner, a middle aged woman with bangs and a round face. I was buying a bunch of tomatoes to make a soup and the lady told me the tomatoes alone would be $27. I told her that I didn't want all of them and I wanted to switch some out. She rudely barked that she had people on line, so I said "ok no problem, I will be back" When I came back I wanted to still get some of the top shelf tomatoes but she wouldn't let me take any of them. She grabbed the ones I had out of my hand and muttered something in Korean under her breath. I was embarrassed as people were looking at me, but I didn't do anything wrong. I told the lady that I just wanted her to know that I have been shopping here for years and no one has ever been so rude to me before. I could tell she lost face as she couldn't even look at me and just mumbled "ok, ok" and was shooing me out of her store. This really stinks because I liked all the other people that work here and it is convenient for me to shop here, but I just can't stomach my money going to this woman with her crappy attitude. I'm giving two stars because I know the majority of people who work there are kind, but I will never shop here again. I hope she reads this, because even if she had a bad day, that is never the right way to treat someone who is shopping in your store. Maybe her family will read this and realize it is time to keep mom at home. read more

Awesome value. You can find a fresh variety of fruits and vegetables here. Their prices are honest, hours are convenient, and staff is nice! I highly recommend. A+++ my friends! read more

We discovered this place accidentally and now come here every weekend to stock up on fruits and veggies. The quality is good and prices are quite reasonable for the area. read more

if i say this place is better than trader joe, can you believe it? i am into organic/healthy food shopping. This place has all different kinds of veggies. You will find what you are looking for in terms of vegetable sections. (although the selection may smaller than whole food or trader joe) their salad is so fresh and price is between inexpensive and moderate. Compare to the trader joe which is in the next street, there is NO LINE - you don't need to waste your time waiting in the line. FRESH! Clean! Good Price! (they take credit card with no limit) read more

There aren't a ton of vegetable options in CoCaGo (yeah, I just made that up. Realtors, please don't adopt it). On the one end, you have Union Market, which is chichi beyond belief. On the other end, you have Whole Paycheck, which is generic bougie and whose produce section is a maze of Saturday dads and little ones in strollers. And on the other other end, you have C-Town, which fulfills its mission as a hood grocery store by carrying truly sad produce. K & Y is a treasure. It would be a treasure even without the comparisons. Cheap, quality fruits & vegetables. Fresh herbs. Bulk green salad blends, perfect for us singletons to get our lettuce on with minimal waste. Close enough I can hit it on my way home from my evening jog. Inexpensive enough that I can pay for what I need with a few small bills (try to spend more than $10 there-- I dare you). read more

Just a totally nice, well-stocked, friendly, neighborhood vegetable store. Prices are extremely reasonable and food quality is very high. I am careful to support a store that we don't want to lose and that does everything it should to deserve my business. read more

Love. Imported deliciousness. Wonderful and helpful staff. They have every oil imaginable, imported chorizo, wide array of cheeses. A bit pricey but you're paying for gourmet quality. Nothing bad to say! read more
