I usually stop by here whenever I'm in Williamsburg because this store is on my way to the train station and it happens to be one of the few stores that stocks Brown Cow chocolate yogurt. For that alone, 4 stars! But this store has an attractive fruit and veggie section that always seems to be stocked with clean, and fresh produce, and always things on sale. I know one Yelper said the cooked deli foods didn't look fresh but every time I go in they seem as if just put out. The baking section always has sales around the holidays, and prices here always seem better than in Manhattan. Service here is friendly and helpful and there never seems to be hectic lines though I come usually in the afternoon.
This is one of the best grocery stores in the area, and one of the best I have been to hands down. The closest competition would be a Garden of Eden but they are twice the price.
It is in a convenient location, the prices are reasonable, it's clean and well laid out. They have a full Deli, great produce selection and the meat is fresh (though I would appreciate more, low cost options. I like to get bone in breast and cut it myself but they never have that) solid beer selection too.
This is where I come when I have a recipe I want to make in mind and I am getting off at bedford – I know they will have everything.
Man, we could really use one of these stores in Downtown BK! We needed a few random items and were in the area for dinner, I thought the service was incredibly friendly and found a few rare items that I've been having trouble locating.
I'm a fan.
Good place to get extra groceries if you forget something from fresh direct. The aisles could be wider. Also, the cooked food counter didn't seem very fresh.
Lots of options for cheap.
Typically I travel into Manhattan for most of my grocery needs but when I'm in Williamsburg doing yoga, this is the BEST place.
Plenty of food options (with some off brands which tend to be hard to find at other stores…) for really good prices. Has all the staples that other specialty stores seem to overlook. Thank goodness.
This is my go to for my normal groceries when I'm in the area but don't feel like making the extra few stops on the subway to somewhere like Trader Joe's of WF.
Plus, SHORT LINES. Hallelujah. Amen.
This is the largest grocery store in the area with a nice selection and reasonable prices. They have a big produce section, full deli, a lot of dairy products, and everything you would need.
The deli does offer samples and the store has sales via a FREE membership program.
But wait, there is more, they have FREE grocery delivery when you have $25 or more in groceries. They deliver within about an hour.
Opening hours are great, but all those tempting boxes of fruit and vegetables has turned out not to be so fresh and delicious after all.
LOVE this grocery store and go out of my way (live further on L train) to shop here. I gotta admit the great rating is due to my opinion of their huge deli section. I can include sandwiches in my daily diet, so cold cuts and a variety is important to me. This store not only has a good selection of Boar Head cold cuts, but also roasts their old pepper turkey (ka-ching!). Good amount of cheese to choose from too!
Bakery
None, but they do amazing fresh bread for under 2 bones that I finish in 2 hours flat. Nothing beats a good loaf! Carbs be damned!
Fresh Produce
This area is crammed with many vegetables and fruits, but I believe the prices are slightly marked up. That being said, with high prices you also get fresh produce. It's almost as the veggies were photoshopped.
Layout
Compact, but it seems that they have almost anything you can thing of. HUGE amount of dairy produce. Local milk, local yogurt. Great selection of meats as well and whole CASE of tofu for the vegetarian/vegan crowds of Williamsburg.
Quality and selection are great, and the prices depend on their sales, but are generally great. They have a free membership card you can sign up for at the register. For those familiar with Kroger/Frys/Safeway, it's very similar. You get a card for your keychain to show off your Foodtown pride!
One warning for their deli sushi (I know, I know, I shop on an empty stomach). Had it once and it was delicious, second time I shared a Philly roll with a friend and we both fell ill.
