Chicky’s General Store
“A place were you want to order a Stumptown coffee and sit on the front bench and take a load off.”
“After years of seeing one corner after the nest being taken over by a deli or bodega opening up, thank you Tara and crew for bringing Chicky's to the neighborhood.”
“Feels like someone spent a lot of time considering and thoughtfully curated everything from the Intelligentsia Coffee all the way down to the hard to find good Dijon Mustard.”

It's about time!! Bed-Stuy has been changing as quickly as the rest of NY. Chicky's is a reflection of that change. It's a specialty shop and if people know me then they know that I'm a sucker for a specialty shop! People dirty talk..I food talk!! "Local", "Farm Raised", "Ohhhh—rganic"..oh my!! Tell me more!
I was so happy with the lay out. There's a rustic southern charm to all of Tara Oxley's projects. It adds that feeling of home. A nice home. But still a home. A place were you want to order a Stumptown coffee and sit on the front bench and take a load off. Chicky's is named after grandfather so the feeling of home makes sense.
I love all the hints of design from a lamp with a hand sculpted face to the giant taxidermy turkey. And the dangling cords and lights above. The exposed brick wall is lovely.
This is the place to come for a variety of cheese. Also fresh produce that might be hard to find elsewhere like graffiti eggplant. There's tons of yummy pantry items such as, Herbare the herbed salt that was my staple when I lived in Germany. And I have become a recent fan of Cream Nut peanut butter for $5/ This is a company from Virginia that has been making their minimal pb for 80 years!! I got think they got the recipe down. There's also tons of new items to try and fall in love with. You can also find a variety of prepared sides that could easily complete a dinner party or make a quick dinner. I'm drawn to the breakfast sandwich menu where one can build their own. And yes, there's an addition of avocado! My favorite!
Their chocolate basket here states "it's choco-clock" ! Why.. ..yes it is! I need this on a watch!
Keep up the good work Tara! Your businesses are filling up bellies and creating smiles!
