Got a breakfast sandwich from them twice and both times the roll was hard as a rock. Inedible and not tasty. The owner is a nice guy but gosh they need a new bread provider. read more

Cannot go wrong with anything here. Food amazing. People amazing. Everything amazing. Good vibes!

so this place doesn't have a grill. they served me a cold chop cheese the other day, no cheese pull or anything. i asked why it was cold & if he actually put my meat on the grill, they said they use a microwave. God knows how long it probably sits out until they use it for sandwiches. Id say only go here if you are getting cold sandwiches or snacks. For HOT & FRESH sandwiches there are so many delis within walking distance from this one that are also CHEAPER than this place. you'd think they'd give a discount for it not being fresh...beware!! read more

Alba's Grocery - a sandwich and a drink - Grocery Near Me - Kew Gardens, New York

Authentic New York neighborhood grocery. Great deli sandwiches and plenty of variety for a small space.

NYC was covered with a blanket of snow. Nothing is open. Transit is down. But good Ol boys at Albas are open. I walked half a block to my savior in this weather. I was hungry. Out of milk, and out of essentials that make being stuck in a storm HELL. I grabbed organic milk (dude!), eggs, beer (cuz its a SNOW storm), chips (munchies), toilet paper (shit happens), and a big ass sandwich. I spent $15. and they take CREDIT CARDS! dude. The sandwich was great (tho the bread was a bit chewy) and the beer was ice cold. they saved my unprepared ass during this snow storm and i love them! read more

Great made-to-order sandwiches, fairly priced Cold Beer, Great staff, Great location. You want more? Fagedaboutit!

poor selection. not clean. high prices. you would be better off walking up lefferts ave to almost any other grocery or deli. read more

Took a risk again today out of desperation and remembered why I will never be back. Ham egg and cheese sandwich consisted of a wet egg, one slice of ham so small it did not even cover the bread size of a standard New York deli roll. And the bread was so burnt I saw where they had to scrape it off with a knife. I wish I could give a negative one star read more

Great little grocery store in Kew Gardens. The staff is super-friendly and fun. They have a great selection of beer and sodas. They also have pretty much anything you might need at the last minute, including some small pharmacy items, like peroxide, or cold medicine. It's open longer than any other store in the neighborhood, so it is very convenient. In addition, they make sandwiches (try their bacon egg and cheese...amazing). read more

I've actually been on a mission to find a deli around here that makes a good sandwich, for whatever reason this didnt come up on my yelp search. Hmm....But I actually drove by earlier today and remember that I ate here! This place is right next door to my doc's office and usually my appointments are either early AM or around lunch time after work which means I'M HUNGRYYY. Ive had really good sandwiches and pastellitos here. i like the staff a lot. My only con is that I feel like the juices/soda's were a bit more expensive than your typical corner store but I guess they can get away with it. Run in and get something while you're waiting for the bus! read more

My husband found this place on yelp tried there sandwiches and told me about it. Yesterday he came again and got me one it was so delicious on my commute home I was craving it again. I said can we please goo! They make it with so much love and are so personable. Love this place so much read more

I love Alba's for my the late-night deli stop in but you can't get here too late or this place could close - I think around midnight? Great sandwiches - whatever you want they will make. Good deals on sandwiches, and they have just enough snacks and other household items you will need if you are in a pinch. The staff are all really cool there and will remember you if you are a regular. read more

Love this deli! Workers are very friendly and fast when it comes to making it and the sandwiches are delicious whether it's hot a cold cut or breakfast sandwich this will always be my go to. Their chopped cheese sandwiches are also bomb and it's all fairly priced. read more

The best spaghetti and meatballs I've had here in Kew Gardens. I know this is a deli spot and you wouldn't think about ordering spaghetti meatballs from here because I hadn't until today. Lol I've been going to this deli for years now and it has great prices, quality food and awesome staff! Seriously just order this it's not going to be a disappointment. read more

Nice neighborhood bodega, they make good sandwiches, carry a nice variety of beer, the staff is fun and engaging to the customers. They have excellent homemade empanadas in the deli case too. They are open early and late. Glad to have them nearby. read more

Love this place so much!!! The people are all super friendly and welcoming, and their sandwiches are TO DIE FOR! I would especially recommend the "Alba Special" -- it has the yummiest grilled chicken -- I could seriously eat one of those every day! Definitely check out this local family-owned gem! read more

Friendly, fast service, clean, and delicious deli sandwiches. What more can you ask for. The owner is such a great person.

I absolutely love this place and would highly recommend it to anyone. They have a good variety of sandwiches at their deli and they're made fresh for you. The staff members are always friendly and work efficiently to make your food. The grocery part of the store itself has a wide variety of items. You can most likely find what you're looking for or something similar. read more

The best little bodega in Kew Gardens! They have everything you could possibly need from a decent beer selection to home made wine to a fresh deli and produce to soap. You'll need look around a bit as they have so much packed into this store, you could miss something. Their sandwiches are out of this world. They use finely shredded lettuce and paper thin pickles, both a bonus for me. The prices are average for a bodega, but the variety and service kept me coming back (and the sandwiches). read more

Whats not to love about this place? Julio, the owner, is amazing. The entire staff is very friendly. The sandwiches are delicious, especially for breakfast! Love this place, even just to pop in and say hi. read more

This is a great neighborhood corner store, I wish they were cheaper, but that's the only complain I could say. Their deli is a bit pricey, but the sandwiches are god. Their iced coffee is surprisingly good, even better than the local coffee spots. They have good desserts there, its a great late night sweet tooth run. read more

Very clean, it's a great family operated business that treats their customers like family. Had dozens of sandwiches over the years and was never disappointed. read more

Very friendly staff, close to the job. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and the bread was fresh and the sandwich delicious. Parking sucks on that corner but they deliver locally read more

Good variety of products. If you forgot to buy somethign from the supermaket 9 out of 10 times, I'm sure you can find it here. They also sell breakfast foods and sandwiches but they are just ok. The breakfast sandwiches are kind of small for the price that you pay. read more

Every corporate company in the world should take notes from Alba's on how to excel at costumer service. Best deli sandwiches in Queens.

Family owned and operated. The owner of the deli - Julio - is a wonderful man. The guy must have been a comedian in some other life. The place is always fun when you're running into to just grab something to snack on or getting light groceries, especially once you know the staff. They've been in the neighborhood forever and is a relic of Kew Gardens. read more

Always has good and fresh food. I strongly recommend their Philip cheese steak. Very convenient to neighborhood.

Love love love them! Family owned & run & they always make you feel like you're family as well!!

Awesome local deli. Friendly staff. Never disappointed. Great sandwiches. Great selection of groceries and snacks. Fresh beer. Highly recommended. read more

Alba's is the bomb, they are very friendly with great customer service. They usually have a good stock of everything you would want to have in a local bodega. read more

I love Albas. Been open for years and the owner is the best. He and his cute son are always friendly and helpful. I wish Albas was open 24/7 but otherwise it is a great local bodega. read more

Very friendly staff, decent coffee, standard little bodega but they skimp on sandwiches so they lose a star. I ordered a BLT and they gave one pathetic piece of bacon -_- (my face when I saw it). Their customer service is one of the best around. Their smile will lure you back. read more

Love this place. Great grocery selection and awesome deli. So happy they are close by

Getting ready for hurricane Irene! I couldnt find batteries, flash lights and candles. I went to 4 different grocery stores close by and NONE of them had gallons of milk and water. I went to Alba's Deli and i could not believe how packed it was. He has tons of batteries, flash lights, candles, and lots of water and milk. GET READY! be prepared. Don't waste your time going to the grocery stores. read more
