This store is going downhill…read more Can't buy produce here (or the other FB on Gates) because they package fresh and rotten veggies together instead of letting you pick from loose. They don't even have a full complement of veggies in their produce section - for example, no bunched spinach today. Even with the expanded front of the store and added checkout lines, there is still almost always a 20 minute wait to get rung up because they never have enough registers open during peak hours. Also, i don't know why they moved the express lane to the far end of the store considering the old express registers near the entrance are literally never used anymore. Why have 20 registers if you never use more than 6 at a time? Still, it's better in most cases than the Gates Food Bazaar.

This place is wild and aptly named. They have so much ish. Lots of Asian stuff cause the owner is…read moreAsian and lots of Latin stuff cause.... yeah the clientele and area. The stuff is cheap. It ain't Manhattan prices. I dig that. The produce isn't the best, but they have everything you need. The seafood selection is oddly really good. And the butcher is really popular. They have a gigantic cold storage section. This is the go-to regular, family market. Go to Billy's if you tryna be fancy. This ain't the place to get like Walgreens stuff. You ain't gonna find contact solution and lotion for a good price. There's Duane Reade really close for that. Cheapest live lobsters I've ever seen. They don't taste the best I've ever had, but hell for $13 I'll take it. Cheapest bulk beer in the area as well. It's an overwhelming place to shop fyi. It feels like a zoo. Truly is a Bazaar.

We were in the neighborhood, visiting some friends. When we're down here; it's a must see and shop…read more We tend to go a little overboard. Everything looks and smells so good. This store has an eclectic variety of shelf stable products, a Deli Dept. that has American, Italian, Polish cold cuts, and salads. The guys that slice the cold cuts are experts; each slice is evenly cut, and the way you asked. There is a separate meat market in the back, with an "Old-world" style butcher. Their produce section is amazing. It's the world wide selection of fresh produce, herbs, and vegetables that is truly amazing. Keep your Translator app open. Many of the cans & bottles are in the native language from the country where they are produced. The experience is akin to being in a market in another country. The staff somehow keeps the shelves and bins filled, actually know what they are handling, and they can answer a question. There's a navigator that keeps the check-out line moving. The prices on most items are very inexpensive, almost from 20 years ago and the quality is comparable to one of those upscale supermarkets.

Not sure why this place has low ratings because I came on a Sunday night and I was so impressed!…read moreThis market is located in Bushwick. I saw from outside they had a deli so I figured let me get a quick meal. As I walked in I saw everything was so neatly organized. It looked like no one touched anything, every product was in itself place. I must have gone at a great hour because there were not too many people inside. It was probably the cleanest supermarket i have been in. I will say the deli items were pricey but it was delicious! I unfortunately do not live nearby but if I did, I would definitely go more often.

If you want to return an item you are treated like a criminal . If you mention weights & measures that lessens.

There have been changes in the selections on the shelves but not in the quality and the service is still very good, prices are reasonable. I have recommended Parrot to so many people over the years that I lost count and I am happy to let newcomers to the neighborhood now.

They have Warsteiner German Pilsner which is one of my favorite beers and really hard to find. The Silk almond milk on sale at $6 for 2 cartons. Hagen Dazs ice cream at $8 for 2. The berries at 2 for $5. So keep an eye out for their flyer and take advantage of the sales :)

Hate to hate on my local grocery store, but it's way overpriced. It's clean at least. They have…read morewhat you need, sorta. But it's just a very uninspired grocery store. It's not big enough to be boring and it's not artisanal enough for how small and expensive it is. They're lucky they're the only grocery store within .5 mile radius otherwise no one would go there. I'll still go there cause I'm too lazy to walk to Food Bazaar or Billy's. I wish they had more cool things like Mr. Lemon does though...

good afternoon i love this supermarket Ridgewood one…read morething I didn't like today it was time to check out I went to the second register a gentleman was the cashier it look like he has a cold he had a running nose he stiff and wiping his nose with his hand it was terrible then he was touch my stuff the register knowing some else is coming to take his place why do that why be there if you sick you are working in a supermarket then it look like he was drinking a tea definitely he was not feeling well stay home do for your coworkers there family and the ppls you serving that just one thing I didn't like thank you advice @AssociateRidgewood

They refuse to honor the prices listed on their own signs, and then make up excuses about why it's okay not to honor them. They have a number of misleading advertisements identifying products on sale, but they only stock those products in sizes/varieties that are not on sale. Stickers on deli products also don't match the prices. Vegetables are not only very hard to find, but the pricing is out of control. They charge 2-3x the market price for loose items and only offer fair market pricing if you buy in bulk. But the bulk veggies are half rotten by the time you buy them. If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. I will do the next best thing and report them to every state/city agency to investigate their deceptive advertising and scam-like behavior.

Don't come here to grocery shop if you ever expect to be able to use the customer bathroom. They will give you no dignity and treat you like a homeless person. My wife had to scoop my shit up with her bare hands because the gloves they gave her broke.

Overall a good neighborhood supermarket that serves the community well .
