My favorite thing in Brooklyn is Mr Lime's. It's right below our apartment, and it is stocked full of anything I need 24 hours a day! Tons of decently priced produce, a bit over priced staples, as well as fresh juice, and some vegan essentials (earth balance, vegan cream cheese, Califia almond milks, etc). There are quick take out meals like sushi, salads, and sandwiches, breads and pastries, and handmade yummy (vegan) granola bars. The workers aren't particularly friendly, but honestly that's not something I expect around here, so I don't judge a place unless they are exceptionally rude. They're nice enough, and the guys stocking are always more than willing to point me in the right direction if asked.
I like Mr. Lime. They can sure pack a lot of stuff in there.
It's not the best place to do your every day food shopping. It can get expensive quick. But, if you want some items you might not be able to find at the Key Foods, or if you find yourself hungry late at night (they're like ALWAYS open), venture into here.
Tip: Check your produce. Blueberries were $1 the other day, but covered in mold.
Bar far the best small grocery store in the area.
I work right around the corner from this place and always stop in here after work. During the summer they always have really well priced fruits outside. Depending on te day they will have blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and other assorted fruits starting at only $1 a pack! They seem to rotate which fruits are $1 daily but you can always count on them having good prices regardless.
Once inside you will probably notice this place is alittle cramped. For the size they have a great selection of products. They carry beer, organic foods and natural products and fresh veggies. One area they could improve is the meats. Generally speaking they only have chicken breasts etc. I would like to see then offer some beef products, but I understand it is hard in such a small space.
One other aspect f this place that makes it stand out is its fresh juice bar. Immediately to your left when you enter you will see the juice bar. Juices range from $3-7 depending on size which is a great deal for this area.
They are also good about accepting credit cards even American Express an their low minimum of $5 on cards is easy to meet.
The employees also have a good attitude which I truly appreciate.
I'm pretty much a regular here. I walk in and out of this place a few times a day. They have different stuff coming in at different times of the day. Always something different, which is great!
Very cheap in season vegs and fruits. I like they have a suggestion board for types of produce/beer you want to see them carry. lots of organic stuff. in fact, pretty much all the stuff is organic. I think I went there looking for some UTZ or Lays chips only to find all organic, healthier options. Not complaining really..it's better for me but not good for the wallet. Very friendly "juice bar" girls.
Is it me or they really hire some attractive/eye candy produce dudes…imo.
This local grocer is alittle farther than some of the bigger stores, but it is often worth the trek. We tend to come here to pick up a selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. Their prices are almost always cheaper than anywhere nearby, and the quality is pretty top notch.
Mr. Lime is definitely worth a visit if you are nearby.
There is nothing not to like about Mr. Lime other than the cramped aisles. They have a really nice selection of produce at great prices. It's not strictly organic or locally sourced like Union Market (a necessary evil for more unusual veggies or when organic is a must) but it's also half the price and the quality is about the same. Their grocery items are on the expensive side, just like every other bodega-type store in the hood, but that's fine in a pinch. I'm constantly astonished by the quantity of produce I can buy for usually less than $5. I'm often here several times a week. Make sure to check outside first because often the same thing will be less $$ outside than inside.
This place is my new grab and go veggie spot after work. They have seriously decent quality veg sitting outside that is outrageously cheap for the area. Bag of carrots for .50 cents or bell peppers, 2 for $1? I mean, what a great way to stock up on veg after you spend all your hard-earned Park Slope money on Whole Foods meat?
Hop right off the 7th Ave stop and you're at the door of this mecca.
Special shout-outs to: 3 for $1 zucchini, cheap-ass bagged fresh herbs in the back fridges on the right and the sweet lady who let me use my credit card on a $2 purchase.
Love this grocery store. My husband is the type to price comparison shop ( I am the type to go to the most convenient place) and he has found this to be some of the best deals for produce in the area. He even found prices cheaper than Trader Joes.
He took me by the shop last night and I was very happy with the selection of produce. I am going to be making green smoothies and eating fresh fruit until I get sick of it.
I had a chance to look at the other products and they carry some interesting coffee brands (at least 2 local!) and pretty much any other grocery item you may be looking for. They carry many brands I already use.
The store is clean and well laid out.
It is a little further for me to walk but it is worth the trip.
I will be back.
