And out of all the ones I visit, Hmart is my top favorite where I can get my Asian and most Tropical Fruit/Veggie groove on, my Bubble Tea or a chocolate pastry from Tous Les Jours, in one breath. But now, my signals are sort of crossed when I stopped by Tropical Farm. I'm getting fantastic prices (on some items) such as green and sweet plantains (Maduros), ñame (yuca relative), Caribbean Sweet Potato, yuca itself and so many other vegetables. Intense, prepackaged herbs and spices that are commonly used in the Caribbean and in other Latin American countries, are also stocked here- and not the tasteless McCormick products. Good to know I can purchase a nice bulk of Caribbean products for my mom (vegetables and condiments), when she comes over on occasions. I will still rely on Hmart- I just have another produce location added to my repertoire... for certain things.

My favorite coffee shop in New York! I absolutely love their matcha lattes--they're made to perfection every single time. The quality is consistently amazing, and you can really tell they take pride in what they do. One of the things I love most is that it's a family-owned business. Everyone is so kind, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. I can't recommend this coffee shop enough! I've already referred so many friends and family because I know they'll love it just as much as I do. If you're looking for incredible coffee, amazing matchas, and exceptional customer service, this is the place to go. I'm always excited for my next visit! read more

For a Mother's Day gift my daughter purchased 2 bottles of olive oil and 2 bottles of balsamic vinegar, it was a delightful surprise. Today I tried the Mission Fig Dark Balsamic Vinegar (I did not add oil) on a tomato and cucumber salad, OMG, it was the most deliciously, smooth vinegar I have ever tasted. (and I have had balsamic vinegar from Modena, Italy) I highly recommend everyone to try this vinegar. Tomorrow I plan to open the bottle of the Spanish Picual oil and try it on a salad. I will definitely be ordering from this company again, and again. read more

Saw an email about gift baskets for Mothers day and felt that was a great idea. When I walked into the store I was amazed at all the options of Oils, vinegar's, salad dressings, coffee, tea and don't forget the Author Ave Bread. Rich was a huge help in walking me through the vast options. I made my selections and he put together (5) beautiful gift baskets that were HUGE hits to the mothers in my life. This is a MUST GO TO. and guaranteed you will be back. read more

What a difference in design from the previous Brrzaar café in this same spot years ago. The color on all the walls adds a minimalist+chic feel but keeps the clean look that only a white paint provides! It's the perfect balance, in my opinion. If it's an upbeat café you're after, this husband+wife team at LuDy (named after the couple's 2 children) are bringing their Melbourne coffee culture to quaint Irvington, NY. They partner with Proud Mary Coffee to bring coffee to the masses, Flour Power from Pelham, NY to offer scrumptious baked goods and Spirit Tea. Judging by the number of people I found sitting at the tables chitchatting with their friends/co-workers, etc during my Tuesday 11am visit, this is the place for a hangout over bites and beverages. But do also know, LuDy is loud. I'm not sure if people nowadays know common conversation 101 courtesy using a normal volume. Anyhow. Since their June '24 opening, LuDy's owner is setting himself apart in the community and is the epitome of a friendly neighborhood cafe. And service from him, the morning I was here, was pure gentlemanly as he located a chair for me to sit at one of the empty tables. Thank you! My hibiscus+lemongrass+ ginger root 'Rosella Tonic' iced tea was refreshing. What would've taken my hot chocolate (made with a chocolate sauce) to the next level would've been a darker chocolate kind. But the barista zhuzhed up my drink with a pattern like it was coffee. Thank you again!

Truth be told, if you live nearby or just happened to be in the area like I was, Bread & C. should be at the top of your list to visit. Not because the owner will gladly give you something on the house because you only carry your card and don't have enough cash on you to pay for your entire order. But because that's how she is. And, it happened to me. You can tell right of the bat, Laurie has a passion for offering pastries and pleasing their customers. Regardless, Bread & C. has probably gained a lot of attention for the Croissants, Macarons, Cookies, etc. I seriously think though it's because of her Parisian-inspired Hot Chocolate. You're in for a treat. If you know me on Yelp, then you know I haven't had coffee in like umpteen years and when I go for Hot Chocolate or Hot Cocoa, it better be orgasmic. This was it. Top-quality chocolate is used because after all, this is Larchmont. The end result was the perfect balance of rich flavors and silky texture. It's a treat that was both comforting and luxurious. It almost transported me right to a cozy Parisian café on a crisp winter's day. It's a small place but it's mighty and so worth the trip!
