Prior to the pandemic, I witnessed people making full meals of the samples and children sticking their fingers in the containers without any reprimanding from their parents. Yes, rude. I digressed. I wish I had a nickel for every rotisserie chicken I've had here. Whether it's Adobo or Rosemary/Garlic, I love it. But there's so much more I like: Ravioli, cheese, fruit/veggies and Guacamole. The store is kept clean and it's sometimes cramped but works for me. Love this store

I like union market very much. I particularly like the produce. When I shopped at this location I…read morepurchased avocados, blueberries, strawberries, sweet potatoes which were all great quality.

A review of Park Natural managed to slip through my fingers which is odd since I shop here quite…read moreoften. Park Natural is an all around health store most likely similar to same establishments in other neighborhoods. It's much appreciated to have in the ' hood even though it's been around for years. Let me be candid for a sec. I don't represent myself as a person who subscribes entirely to eating only health, organic, raw or plant foods. However; I do make a concerted effort to maintain a healthy lifestyle which is where the difference lies. Everything or most things in moderation! But back to Park Natural. I love this store simply because they have just about everything from organic veggies/fruits, vitamins, and bottled beverages to skin care items, refrigerated goods and cooked foods. Keep in mind, you'll dig a bit deeply into your pocket to pay for them. Most health food stores are on the expensive end. In other words, to eat well and maintain a healthy lifestyle isn't cheap. It's why fast food joints are inexpensive. How ironic when we are encouraged to be healthy! Park Natural is the kind of store that appeals to everyone in addition to vegetarians which is great because they carry tempeh and seitan. I like those items myself. Situated near the corner of President and Court Streets, the store is spacious and immaculate. I buy all my vitamins here. And it's comparable to a good friend--you may not always visit them, but you know they are there.

They're good in a pinch, because they're close to me. I should partially blame myself, because when…read morethey rang up my 5 nectarines and the bill came to over $20, I should've stopped right there. It only became worse the very next day when I had to toss 4 of the 5 for being moldy. The 5th one had to be tossed the next day. Contrast that with the 2 x 2lb bags of nectarines and peaches I purchased from Trader Joe's for $10 that were excellent and not moldy. I'll continue to use Park, but only in emergencies and probably not for fresh fruit.

Surprised I've never reviewed this spot. I don't come here too often since it's a bit of a hike,…read morebut I'll stop in when I need a specific item or just feel like browsing, usually during non-peak hours. The prepared foods section is genuinely really food here, with a lot of solid options that make it easy to grab a quick meal. It can get really overwhelming and crowded during peak hours, but even then it's still fairly easy to shop because everything is well organized and clearly laid out. Overall, it's a reliable spot for groceries, especially if you go at the right time and know what you're looking for.

Nine years since my first review. How time flies! And I still love shopping here…read more Though I'm a Whole Foods fan generally speaking, this one is enormous and carries so much in terms of groceries and beverages. They eliminated delivery service a few years back and as a result, it prevents me from buying as much as I'd like. I can have groceries delivered via Amazon but I prefer shopping in person myself. I particularly like their seafood department as well as the cheese and produce. The nitpick would be that it sits on top the Gowanus Canal which is a cesspool of polluted water and carcinogens. 5 stars for everything else.

Let's face it, the line at Lucali can be excruciatingly long and it's BYOB and cash only, so it's nice to have a tidy and well-run convenience store with beer, an ATM machine, and friendly owners just 100 feet away. This little shop had everything we needed to weather the stormy Lucali wait: hot tea, fresh fruit, and an assortment of cold beverages.

He did put lettuce on one of my students's sandwich once but, eh, a little lettuce won't hurt 'em. Besides sandwiches they've also got the usual range of chip and snack items (very essential for those days when you need salt/sugar). They do take cards, but there is a $10 minimum.

You know... I'd never thought that there would be a day where I love a turkey sandwich this much…read more The clean turkey really is so delicious. The combination of the sweet pickles, white onions, and arugula is a match made in heaven for the turkey breast. I usually am not a fan of arugula bc i find the taste to be too much but the flavor is very subtle in the sandwich. The red wine vinegar isn't overpowering if you thought that was off putting and they put the perfect amount of mayo. I had this sandwich 4 days ago... and I am still thinking about it :( The ultimate warrior on the other hand, is complete opposite of the clean turkey. With the decadent pork shoulder and cheese, it's a warm and toasty and melty sandwich. Really love the addition of mama's lil's peppers I really like the sesame bread. Makes the world of a difference!! The strawberry orange juice wasn't a hit for me. Barely tasted the strawberry I can't wait to come back and try the other sandwiches!!!

I've tried the Jawn, the Clean Turkey, and the Ollie and have always been delighted during my visits. Most of their sandwiches are served on their signature toasted seeded hero's and while the sandwiches themselves are not served hot, they are perfect for a casual breakfast/lunch while you're strolling the neighborhood or dining in. Known for its iconic storefront, this flagship location launched satellite locations with its namesake and widely recognized merch. The atmosphere will bring you into a small cottage farm to table feel while still letting you spread your wings into the big city.

Today's was…read morenot, and felt like a corporation not really caring all that much about a customer being inconvenienced after a store error. I purchased a whole chicken from this store then walked home. At dinner time, I discovered that the sell by date on the whole chicken was Aug. 4 (it is Aug. 8). I had to stop everything and walk all the way back to the store. I was told by a nice and apologetic crew member that I can pick a different whole chicken or get a refund. I was already very late making dinner, so I went to find a different chicken. After picking through more whole chickens that were also past their sell by date, I eventually found one that A) was not expired and B) was as close as I could find to the price by weight of the one I purchased. Note, it was less than $1 more than the expired one I was sold and had to return. In spite of having to walk all the way back to the store for a return/error that was not mine, I was told by a manager that I still had to be charged for the $1 difference in cost. It's not about the $1 itself. It's about a customer service choice that requires that of a customer who has been put in that position. I understand there is a "system" that has to "balance," but someone created that system, and it should not lead to this outcome in this type of situation.

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.

I dropped by today to get some Easter goodies, the savory kind. As always, excellent. It's an annual tradition for me to visit around Easter specifically for their Basket Cheese among other incredibly delicious items. This cheese is only out around Easter and sold in a basket. A must try. Here's my list from today (to name a few): Arancini with cheese only? Check. Arancini means riceballs. Roasted Red Peppers? Check. Charred and to die for. Homemade Turkey? Check. I got a divorce from Boar's Head a long time ago. Breadcrumb stuffed peppers? Check Focaccia? Deliciously Checked from my list. Fluffy and light as air with a light tomato sauce coating. Yummy. And so on. I love everything about Caputo's. From their fresh pastas and ravioli to the variety of cheese to their holiday specials. It truly is amazing. If in the area this week, grab the Basket Cheese. You will leave with a full bag and undoubtedly drop more than a few bucks here. Quality over quantity, and they have it all. .

They offer sandwiches for takeout as well, which knowing me, I had to buy one. The Italian sandwich I ordered is small but mighty, much like the store. I got it with hot peppers which provide an extra layer of heat, but do not detract from anything that makes it less of a sandwich. The only problem I had was, where was I going to eat it? That problem was quickly solved when I went down to Carroll Street and ate this in a local park, all the while looking like a Saturday slob. There are other stores similar to this one that are closer to me that are just as good, but I am happy I came here and gave this one a fair shake.
