With this Key Food, the "Fresh" in the title is definitely a misnomer. The vegetables are unreliable at best, the customer service is shoddy, and the overall experience is a bit of a hit or miss (normally miss).
Why do I give it three stars? There's something in me that wants to believe in the best of this place. They offer a few vegan options, tofu, have a decent selection of soy/almond/rice milks (although I make my own, it's good to have the option), and occasionally organic options.
I normally go to TJ if I don't mind the schlep a few stops away, or to Fairway a few blocks away but in a pinch for time, Key Food "Fresh" will do fine.
"Sigh. This is all the neighborhood needs — ANOTHER supermarket!" I said as I was led into the store.
Welp, it turns out that Key Food Fresh is *exactly* what the neighborhood needs. This is a really nice supermarket! They offer a great selection of products at decent prices. It's clean, bright, and spacious — or at least what you would consider spacious in Hamilton Heights. You can fit more than one person in an aisle!
The fruits & veggie area isn't as big as C-Town, but I think it looks much better. Good selection of cereals too. And honestly, it's nice to see a meat freezer without leaky animal odds-and-ends. There's even a solid dairy section with lots of options — I'm talking soy, almond, and milks of various percents!
Key Food Fresh is a definite upgrade from C-Town (More like D-minus-Town, amirite?). I kid. KFF is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I'm sorry for ever doubting you!
