Though I have shopped here out of convenience in the past, I will not be any longer. They price gauged their flowers on Mother's Day and Christmas. They blatantly put a $20 price sticker over the original $7 price sticker. $20 for dead flowers is ridiculous. I have gone here for milk and noticed some of their dairy was expired. The milk they pour into the prepared coffee (hot and iced), I have witnessed it was past the sell by date and I said no thanks.
This place exudes RUDE and overpriced, from the minute you walk in. Because it is in the same building as my friend's apartment, we stopped in for a quick snack. After saying hello to the clerk and being completely ignored, we grabbed a small bottle of orange juice and went to the counter..
The clerk at the counter rung up the juice and dryly asked for $6 *per* unmarked bottle and shocked at the price, my friend politely said she did not expect the price to be so high for juice and we put the products back and said "nevermind, no thanks." This was not because we could not afford $12 in juice, but because it is a ridiculous price.
On our way out the door, the same clerk (who btw is not an owner or manager) rudely yelled "YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR THE PRICE FIRST!" and in reply my friend let her know we did not expect the prices to be that ridiculous and the clerk kept the aggressive banter going, looking for a fight and insinuating that we were beneath her. Finally, my friend told her she lived upstairs and would not be returning despite the convenient location and we asked her to stop giving us such an attitude. Talk about drama, over nothing!
With her still yapping away, we made our exit and then got the same exact juice for 1/3 of the price right across the street. Avoid this place!
I agree that prices are a bit high here but it's a Manhattan deli what did you expect? I have not experienced any rudeness or long waits when I pop in for a snack or a bottle of water. Haven't tried the Korean food yet but it sounds good. All in all an adequate deli when I'm in the area and on the go.
