    The inside of the Big Cheech
    Anh Y.

    Wanted a sandwich for lunch, and tried out Lil' Frankie's Grocery through delivery. Got the Big Cheech, which comes with roast beef, tomatoes, lettuce, and EVOO mayo on semolina bread. This was one well seasoned, flavorful sandwich with fresh ingredients. The juicy tomatoes had a sprinkling of ground black pepper, and the inside of the bread was slathered with mayo with bits of herbs throughout. The roast beef was thinly sliced and was so juicy and tender. The crunch from the well toasted bread was a nice contrast. I wish there was a little bit more meat in the sandwich because it was so delicious, but I would say that overall it was a well balanced sandwich. I will definitely be trying some of the other sandwich options in the future.

    a bacon, egg, & cheese on a roll is an essential part of the NYC food experience, so it's no surprise that Lil' Frankie's Italian spin on the classic breakfast sandwich is an essential order at the narrow sandwich shop. "The Fran" is the sando's name and consists of eggs, crispy guanciale, fontina cheese, & arugula on a Ciabatta roll. this sandwich is a great mix of flavors from silky smoothness of the eggs fried in olive oil to the salty salty sweet fattiness of the guanciale (pig's cheeks) to the sharpness of the fontina cheese to the peppery slight bitterness of the arugula--all sandwiched in a crusty ciabatta roll with a soft chewy inside. while nothing will replace a classic bacon egg & cheese, this is a worthy order for something off-the-beaten-path. Lil' Frankie's Grocery serves a sandwich menu during the day and then a pizza-centric menu at night. there are Italian-groceries like olive oils, tomato sauces, pastas, etc. in the narrow space. there is a large communal table for seating. the small deli space upfront is where the sandwiches are made. service is quick and friendly.

    Absolutely love every establishment run by Frank. So I'm a little biased. I couldn't wait to check out the grocery and I was not let down! Very pleasant staff and delicious food. I recommend you eat your sandwich asap before the mozzarella juices soak the focaccia (don't walk to Washington square park in 95 degree weather to eat it). Tasted amazing!

    Amazing sandwich shop! I stumbled by on my way to another spot by chance. Homemade focaccia and fresh mozzarella daily. Shocked this doesn't have more reviews -- maybe it's new? Also large enough to get one and split.

She went above & beyond as I attempted to shop with my then 8 month old & my 6-year-old who had just came from the dentist & was under sedation. She saw me struggle as my daughter was dizzy from the sedation medicine, and she assisted me through the entire store and opened her register to ring me up. She was so understanding to a single mom just trying to navigate shopping after my 6-year-old had a major procedure done. I know to other people this may look like something so small but to me it meant the world & I fight back tears as I write this. THANK YOU SO MUCH LEANA WITH LUV & Appreciate. Oh, and to touch on the food there we know Trader Joe's is one of the best places to choose food in New York City since we're in a food desert so I'm glad Trader Joe's is around.!!

A few staple items were also out of stock, which was a bit disappointing for a regular grocery run. That said, the produce section was excellent--really fresh and well stocked, probably the highlight of the store. I'll be coming here more often while my usual UWS location is under renovation since it's still convenient for me, especially given it used to be my old neighborhood. It's not a bad store at all, just a very different energy, and it'll take a bit of getting used to.

We have developed a congenial friendship which was founded on La Fermière yogurts. Emre knows that I price shop so invariably I know when the time is right to buy these delicious yogurts at Eden. I often buy Siggi yogurts as here they are $1.99 each. The ladies - Dolores, Affou, Mamata, Savita, Tofu - at the checkout are friendly, kind and remember customers. A few speak French which I practice with them. Being originally Greek, the Dolmas in the prepared food section, are plump and particularly tasty. It's worth buying a few to take home. Adam looks taciturn but always is kind to me. He is behind the deli counter preparing sandwiches and always gives me a quarter pound of the Jambon de Paris. Miguel and Medina are also here. A loyalty card is worth having and once having accumulated many points I paid the princely sum of $1.61 for a pretty bouquet of roses in assorted colors that cost $11.99. Now that's a steal! Eden Gourmet is the sister supermarket to my beloved sadly closed Eden Gourmet of 14th street. This too is packed to the brim with fresh vegetables, fruits, cheeses, dairy, chicken and meats. A large variety of sparkling waters, frozen entrees, ice creams and assorted temptations are here too. A small bakery has cakes and pastries available. I pop in often to get milk or to see what's new and always to say hello to everyone. I always feel happy coming to Eden Gourmet Marketplace!

You'll get all the usual grocery store sections, including fresh produce and a deli counter in the back. There isn't a ton of variety, with maybe two or three options for most items. But those options are consistently high quality. Whoever is stocking the shelves has good taste! The setup for paying is a bit weird, they've got a long counter up front in lieu of the usual registers with lanes. It can make lines a bit confusing during busier times, but not a dealbreaker by any means.
