While waiting, I noticed a freezer full of snow crab legs, so I grabbed a bag to check the price. The total came to $45.00, and I thought, "Let's do it." Best decision ever! The crab legs were so fresh, clean, and perfectly seasoned with Old Bay, Adobo, garlic (I think lol), and butter. Absolutely delicious. The staff is super welcoming, and if something feels a little pricey, they'll work with you to break down whatever you're interested in. I just discovered this place last week and I've already been back four times. Highly recommend!

Great convenient spot for "special diet" grocery items (vegan, GF, etc) and prepared foods. I've…read morereally been digging their Plantega menu, which offers a nice selection of vegan options. The owner, or maybe manager, is very kind and helpful. My only quibble is that there's one employee who is really resistant to making the grill/deli options as advertised. Sometimes he'll give you pushback, but other times he'll just leave things out, so check your food before leaving. More than once I've done that and found some key ingredient missing.

Happened upon this place on the way to a family dinner down the block. My husband and I are fond of…read moreRussian/Ukrainian/Polish dumplings, so I wanted to see if they had frozen dumplings. They did, so decided to come back after dinner (they were open pretty late for a small family-run shop on Labor Day, 8 pm). Picked up frozen chicken dumplings and two pieces of cake. One was a slab of the honey cake and one was a chocolate ganache covered cake. I thought the taste of the honey cake was really good but I found the texture to be a bit gluey. My husband loved it so it's all his. I LOVED the chocolate cake. So much so I fought my husband over what was left. And both cakes cost $8.80 all together! That's incredible, at any fancy bakery the chocolate cake alone would have been $12-15. We'll definitely be back for cake, hopefully the dumplings are good and we'll be back for them too. Oh and the folks working there were very friendly, including what seemed like a grandmother and granddaughter.

The canned goods (many from Central and South America) usually sell for at least 20% less.

They also have a small section of quality canned goods from Turkey, all moderately priced. CH

Got here to get a few healthy items and snacks at this organic store in Fort George. It doesn't…read morehave a lot to be honest. Organic Paradise has organic foods obviously. Just a few. The stuff here is also expensive and many things can be past the expiration it seems. Best thing that can be said is at least there's an option for this stuff around here. It's a ways from a lot of other health food stores. That doesn't mean the products should be old and browning though. Produce certainly isn't worth it. Way overpriced. Has a bin full of frozen foods. These are all mixed up and who knows how long these have been in there. Have to say maybe it's best a place to get a few snacks and not look to get ingredients for a meal. It's way cheaper at most places even at Whole Foods it seems. They have pretty limited selection, but there's bulk items such as grains, and plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians.

NAAR specializes in herbs and supplements. Also has organic foods but pretty expensive. This is good if looking for some alternative medications. A pretty small place but it packs a lot in here. It's better than going to a chain store. The prices aren't that bad on some of the things. Popped in here after not feeling good. They have lots of things at the counter in front including ginger chews that were good in a time like this. Affordable for a pack full. There's also tons of vitamins. Also has a refrigerated section with organic and vegan foods. These foods can be found cheaper even at Whole Foods so forget about these. Good to go to a small business. It's limited selection but there's lots to get here. There's plenty of things for vegans and vegetarians.

Their Inwood storefront is old school spacious with signs identifying the kind of fish and they will deliver to many neighborhoods including Riverdale.

I want to like this place but they are doing some shady business with the scale and charging more…read morethan they should. For example, if I ask for half a pound of something they will give me a quarter pound yet charge for a half a pound. This has happened three times. I called them on it the last time I was in there. The clerk told me it's because they weigh the paper with the fish. Okay, fine, but that doesn't change the fact that I only received 1/4 pound of fish, and 1 ounce of paper when I weighed the two separately at home, and was still charged for a 1/2 pound. I know that all scales are going to be slightly different from each other but I have a very accurate scale at home and there is no reason why the weight should differ by 3-5 ounces from the scale that they have at the store. Do it once, it's a mistake but three times makes it seem intentional. The quality of the fish is very good, which is why I gave one star, but I doubt that I'll be back.
