Many customers eating fruit from pint/quart baskets, which were not samples. It's cramped and there is not need for that as it is perfectly located on the side of the Queens Botanical Gardens. Because it's not Union Square, Borough Hall, Grand Army Plaza the farmers/sellers do send their best products here but they sure know how to accept WIC and any other government handout they come across.

I was driving in the neighborhood looking for a flower shop and I stumble into this place by luck…read more I was not gonna go in, cause from the exterior of the building it looks like a supermarket. So I didn't expect for them to have a big selections of flowers to choose from. But I was pleasantly surprised when I walk in, the whole place was full of beautiful flowers and plants to choose from. They have a great selection of colorful orchids and real potted plants. The prices are reasonable too. I would definitely be back to buy more flowers and plants in the future.

Bethel Farms has plenty of fresh and abundant fruits and veggies stacked so high that the stock boy was rebounding for me as I did layup drills, slam dunking cabbages and cauliflowers by the handful. Very little differs from the abundance of the outside to the inside as I continued upon my way filling my overburdened hand basket with hand fruits of every type. Friendly staff, clean as a whistle inside to the point that it had an almost sterile feel.

Welcome to Bally 868 Mini Mart. Hi my friends you're in the…read moreheart of Flushing Chinatown. I Love this little local Mini Mart. You can get so much local flavor just hanging out here a little bit. This little market is located right on Roosevelt Avenue next to where all the buses and Subways let out you can walk inside and get some roasted yams or boiled corn on the cob. Need a newspaper no problem, whatever language you are comfortable with they can accommodate here newspapers come in many different languages. And speaking of different languages the counter people here are proficient in at least 4. There's great fresh hand-picked produce on sale right in the front, also fresh pre-made salads and a selection of chilled beverages. Skip waiting at the line at the local supermarket this little mini mart has a wonderful smile for everyone. Open 7 days a week just great for busy folks that are on the go. See you there. JIM D.

I go there 1-2 times every week to get pre-cut mangoes and a few months ago I bought one that…read morelooked to me like there was fungus but the lady assured me it was not and she was kind enough to let me exchange it. Last week I purchased mangoes and it was dry and kind of sour. Yesterday I bought another one to give it another chance and it was even more dry, so I went to the lady to ask for an exchange and she admit that it was not ripe yet but asked how come I'm the only one complaining. She told me that I can't exchange the next time I choose to buy one and kept saying that I'm the only one who complains. I got so upset that I didn't even want the exchange anymore and walked away, I'm never going back there again. How can they make a mistake by selling non-ripe/low fruits and blame me for complaining? I'm baffled.

This will be my second year with Flushing CSA and my 5th with a Golden Earthworm CSA in general. I…read morecan't recommend it enough! Flushing CSA is an easy and affordable way to get local, organic, farm-fresh veggies right in my 'hood. A typical weekly share had 5-7 different types of produce, some regular dietary staples, some weird and delightful. But always top quality and fresh. Having the veggies on hand forces me to eat better. I don't have to think about what to buy or wonder if something is in season or imported, its all just there for me, fresh and at its peak ripeness. And I only need to stock up on pantry staples and some meat (which can be frozen) once in a while, freeing my time and budget from regular grocery shopping, which is great, especially in the summer when my social calendar is bursting!

Their deli section is what makes the place. They have a really good selection of cold cuts and salads, and everything is super fresh. The guys working behind the counter for lightning fast, so even if there is a long line you don't have to wait very long. The quality is very good. Deli aside, they do have some pre-packaged stuff in the aisles, but you're not going to find great deals like you would in a regular supermarket. It's just there for convenience in case you need something quick. Overall, great little market. I would definitely recommend it!

Skyfoods is one of my more preferred Asian supermarkets because of its relative spaciousness and…read morecleanliness compared to other places selling similar items. They also carry a number products and brands less commonly found in other Chinese supermarkets. This Skyfoods is one of a few locations, two in Flushing and one in Elmhurst; this one sits on the first floor of the Shops at Skyview on College point Avenue in downtown Flushing. Walking in from the main entrance to the shops this is kinda hidden towards the back of the building. It's nice that it doesn't usually get too crowded. They give free parking in the structure if you shop and buy over $40. What's nice similar to some other larger Asian grocery stores (Hmart, Mitsuwa) is they sometimes do sampling stations on weekends where they showcase a handful of products. My last purchase of a box of Asian pears was because I got to try a couple pieces of sweet fruit so I felt confident in picking up a box. Aside from fresh produce, meat and seafood, dried, canned and packaged foods, they have relatively larger refrigerated foods and tea/drinks and snack sections. See pics of some interesting products. Also for example they carry some instant powdered sweet fruit (jujube, sour plum) teas here I don't find in other places, and for that reason alone I make a trip here every so often.

I'm a fan of Skyfoods in the Skyview Center mall. It's my top choice for stocking up on Asian…read moregroceries. The size of this place is impressive, with a huge selection that really makes it a one-stop shop, for Chinese and other East Asian ingredients. Stocked with a massive selection of Asian vegetables, and fruits that are difficult to find in a traditional grocery store. Greatly appreciate the quality. From fresh, leafy vegetables and mushrooms to a truly staggering variety of snacks, sauces, and noodles, their inventory is fantastic. The dedicated seafood and meat departments are also well-stocked, never saw live eel sold in a grocery store. Being inside the Skyview Center is a huge plus. It's great to be able to hit up BJ's wholesale, TJ Maxx and other stores in the same trip, and the indoor parking garage is a game-changer, especially on bad weather days. Compared to some of the other supermarkets in Flushing, Skyfoods feels noticeably cleaner and brighter. The aisles are well-organized, making it easier to find what you need. Checkout is wonderful, no chatty cashiers, just simple, polite, fast checkout! For a huge, reliable selection in a convenient location, it's a solid four stars. Tip: The hot food section is a lifesaver for a quick and affordable meal. You can get a solid lunch box combo with rice, several dishes, and soup for a great price. It's especially good earlier in the day when the food is freshest. 2nd tip: Spend $40, get 3 hours of free parking.

Decent juice bar too!

Though I don't buy all organic or high end groceries, this place has everything you need if you want to do better than Perdue chicken I shop primary at this place, Trader Joes and HMart. This place will give me access to all the Western foods I want that may be European. TJs has all the American infatuations but in a commercialized format. And HMart is just fantastic for Korean and Japanese food. Just to list some of the other items they have at this place: huge variety of cheeses & yogurt, many brands of olive oil, premium brands of honeys and ice cream, and many more. Come here for your premium goods. Key foods and the larger supermarkets can't compare. Cheers
