This shop has exactly the kind of stern-looking owner you would expect from a European grocery…read morestore. You may feel tempted to thank him for accepting your money, but beneath the tough exterior he seems to have a good heart. The store offers a great variety of high-quality Eastern European products, including a strong selection of meats and dairy. Prices have gone up quite a bit recently, but that is probably unavoidable given inflation and the fact that the store is a bit farther from the main cluster of New York-area shops. Even so, it easily beats the other Eastern European shop on Nicholson Lane. Recommended.

I visited recently on a rainy Friday evening and so glad I did. The parking was plenty and I was…read moresurprised by how much items were available inside. I really needed to purchase some Mexican oregano, marjoram, ancho chilles, chile guajillo, chile morita, and some other items to make some birria tacos. Upon stepping into the store, I was blown away by the varieties of specialty cheese they offered. And the laughters of so many children!!! Normally I'd be frowning on lack of social distancing and the cramped aisles in a store like this but the smiles and giggles just made my day. Although the produce prices can be found at a better price point elsewhere, I'd be happy to return in the future for other purchases!

Each little treasure trove of spices is situated in its own little category. There are baking spices and salad spices. I was impressed with all the different kinds of cinnamon's. The people who work there are the nicest. A gentleman directed me to the cayenne pepper area. There was a variety of choices and I learned about the Scoville levels of heat. Now, you may be saying to yourself, why would Joy B. searching for the hot peppers? The truth of the matter is that I was looking to help out a friend. I found my cayenne pepper and I was pleasantly surprised at the price point. I bought a nice size bottle for about $6.00 and change.
