There is limited parking. The staff are very courteous and professional. It's usually busy there. I had a honey turkey sandwich from the deli. Their prices are reasonable. The place is well kept. It's accessible by train and. It's an average size supermarket. The management team are very responsive and helpful. I would definitely shop there again if needed.

A very clean store with a lot of variety. However, recently the food has had some issues.

1. Fresh food section is not fresh. Mac salad, egg salad, potato salad all taste sour and spoiled.

2. Some of the package food is old. I've bought pudding that has turned chunky. Some limes were very old to the point there was no juice in them.

3. Some items are not stored properly. Some icecream I have bought have tasted very icy. As if they were melted and then refrozen. I bought drinks that tasted like plastic. Like they were heated and the plastic taste went to the drink.

They're usually really good. However, the quality has been decreasing over the past year.

Great selection of.items both conventional and organic. Not bougie though. That's what I love about it. Manager is phenomenal. He runs a tight ship and is incredibly helpful when approached with questions. He and his staff (amazing by the way - can't say enough about their friendliness) were heroes during the height of the pandemic doing their best to ration limited supplies of certain items.

Store is clean, your neighborhood supermarket that has most of everything you need. They have a ethnic food isle too, much appreciated but need an actual ethnic touch when it comes to the Asian sauces or ingredients. You can tell it's an American attempt on ethnic foods. But other than that, I like the weekly discounts and club membership sign up, self check out (usually available with no wait), and good ice cream and beer selection.

I’m used to bigger super markets so found it a bit congested. Wonder what it is like when it is crowded? Friendly and helpful staff.

Not bad, there are a couple of unique items you can find, and the bakery Items are always fresh including their fruits and vegetables, however they are lacking with certain products and sales

Usually I find the things I need, only thing is, there are no signs in the aisle, on the aisle that would tell you which product are in each aisle. If there is one, its not visible.
The self check out is a but frustrating, when u decide to scan and put it on the side inside if n a bag, it won't let you move forward. I had to keep replacing the item with another.
But products are well kept and organized

We know how to make a lasting impression with more than just flowers. While our stunning orchids can brighten up any living space, sometimes the occasion calls for delectable chocolate morsels to satisfy a sweet tooth. For the more health-conscious foodies, we have thoughtfully selected fruit baskets and snack baskets, ideal for any occasion.

This is a great neighborhood grocery store. Reliable produce selections, fresh deli, meat and seafood areas. Organic and mainstream options. The best employees, always friendly and helpful. Clean and bright. Well stocked throughout the pandemic! My Family couldn't be more grateful. Oh and decent beer options ;)

Everything is so fresh there. The line is pretty long but if you take self checkout then it's not going to take you that long. Everyone is also very helpful, if you need help just ask them and they will help you.

Organized, clean, socially distanced staff and checkout lines. Fresh produce, beautiful (small) fish counter, nice deli, organic and alternative menu options (non dairy, gluten free, vegan), beer, and a decent ice cream/frozen desserts. All this with parking, instacart option AND delivery option. Club card gets you nice discounts. This will be my GO TO all service grocery. Right outside the train means a quick grab is always convenient en route home from work.

Went in around 8: 30pm (they close at 10pm) expecting them to either be ready to kick people out or be snippy towards the end of their shift.

The manager was very cordial and respectful of everyone's space. This foodtown has a wonderful selection of products, and wide aisles (a plus!). Easy to locate, and especially easy if you take the F train as the stop is right at their door! Will return soon to see if this is the norm ;)

Self checkout machines never work, and never enough registers open. ~10 parking spaces, but 0 places to lock a bike. Pretty lousy groceries, but ok selection/prices on the non-perishables. Thank god for the veggie places on Church Ave.

Very nice grocery store. It's not a huge supermarket, but you will certainly able to get most if not all things on your list from here.

They are doing a really great job during quarantine. The waits are minimal if any at all. Lots of protection for customers and staff. They have a great fruit/veggie section and overall a nice selection of products. Parking is hit or miss depending on if you go at peak times, but overall the staff is really nice and they have things handled given how covid is affecting most biz.
