The main draw for High Mango other than their location to where I live that they are open 24HRS, which is huge in Bushwick but also quite dangerous. Many a morning after going out I have woken up with gourmet this and organic that. The selection is very much geared toward the higher end and the prices reflect that. I love their beer selection and the produce is always good. They rarely carry any sort of major label dry goods but I have found some new favorites there like smoked celtic sea salt. Think of it as a mini whole foods minus the 365 generic option.
Hi Mango is open 24 hours. It is the most useful health food/organic shop where you can stop and get some beers and snacks on the way home after an already super late night. They have the delicious grapefruit beer from Germany Schöfferhofer. And you can buy bottles and can individually. Not the cheapest deal but a great way to taste a variety of beers. I also like to take a gander at the salty snacks.
I did notice they have my favorite herbed salt from Germany too. And they have all kinds of decadent products, from almond butter to fancier granolas. I am a little suspicious of the outside produce that only gets a tarp thrown over it at night. I don't partake in those "fresh" foods.
This place is overall pricey but stick to nightcap and snack and you will be fine.
They have a pretty good beer selection and interesting organic food and snacks. The prices are high, I could never do my full shopping here. If you get a sandwich made to order, they are pretty good.
One thing that really turns me off is that the pre-made sandwiches in the case can be old. Check the dates. Sometimes the 'packaged on' date will be four or five days before the the present date. They give it five days for the 'sell by' date and I almost always find sandwiches that are at the end days of that limit. Gross – why would I ever want to purchase a 7 dollar sandwich days and days old? If they do that for the sandwiches, I wonder how old the produce is that doesn't have to have dates marked. Flowers I have gotten here die pretty fast, I prefer the place a block down on Knickerbocker.
Stick to pre-packaged non-perishable food when you want a higher class treat, I wouldn't shop here for essentials or prepared food in the cases.
