I've been shopping at Elmora Farmer's Market for weeks not, and I'm still rather thunderstruck by…read moreit. Quite simply, until now there has not been a market in walking distance of my apartment where I could get fresh meat, fresh fish, fresh vegetables along with canned goods, frozen goods (and the list goes on) in one place at reasonable prices. They even carry Boar's Head deli meats and cheeses (my favorite brand). Sure there's a Shop Rite and Pathmark nearby, but both their produce and meat sections lack a bit compared to this market, and that surprises me quite a bit! Built in the spot that was once "Cost Cutters", this store is quite large, not quite supermarket size, but big enough that you won't necessarily miss going down aisle after aisle. It's also in the same strip mall as many other shops including Dollar General, Subways, Sarku, 7-11, Dunkin Donuts, a pharmacy and a nail salon. You can definitely get a LOT done in one visit to this market! The shop does lose some points for not having the most extensive baked goods section (it's good, but Shop Rite has them beat) and now and then the cashiers seem a bit lost, but that's rare. I'm still a regular customer and really enjoy shopping here!

I am absolutely disgusted by the treatment I received at Elmora Farmers Market. Over the years, I…read morehave spent thousands of dollars at this market. I love exotic fruits, especially rambutans, and would regularly spend $100 or more on them at a time to the point where the cashiers would explicitly check if the high price was okay, and I would always say "of course." Despite being such a loyal customer, on July 9th at 7:45 PM, I was profiled and followed closely around the store by an Asian manager who says him name is Billy acting like I was going to steal, simply because I brought my own shopping bags. The manager aggressively and falsely claimed the store closed at 7:45 PM. When I pointed out that online says 8 PM, he snapped at me. I checked out respectfully before 7:50 PM, only for him to point out a sign saying they close at 7:50 PM. Why hassle me at 7:45 PM if you close at 7:50 PM? Trying to resolve this constructively, I called the store multiple times over the next week to speak with one of the owners. Instead of reaching the owner, I was transferred to the manager of the meat department, who was incredibly hostile, disgusting, and nasty. When I asked for his name so I knew who I was speaking with before sharing my complaint, he aggressively refused, told me he didn't have to tell me who he was, and demanded I "hurry up" and tell him what I wanted. Throughout this call, I remained completely polite and calm, but the disrespect from his end was very loud. I was honestly shocked to learn I was speaking to someone in a managerial position because his level of immaturity was stunningly low. The management here has zero maturity or customer service skills. This store has a toxic pattern of profiling paying customers, especially when they are Black. I've seen other reviewers mention this exact same concern on public forums, yet the management allows this behavior to continue unchallenged. I am a financially secure customer who routinely bought high-ticket items here, but I will officially never spend another dime at this hostile establishment. They have permanently lost my business.

Small selection BUT offers seafood foils and fried food options. Hubby and I got the whiting with fries. Huge portion of fish, 4 nice sized pieces. Service was super fast. However, although the fish & fries were fried to perfection they both lacked some flavor. Fries were crispy but could've used a little salt and pepper. The fish also was kind of bland but perfectly crunchy and fresh. We will definitely be back to try a boil and some other items.

The neighborhood is not for everyone but I grow up here and for years worked on the block at a welding shop that is not longer around, World Wide Welding. With that said, the fish is fresh and it sells like hotcakes. The prices are excellent and the amount you get is more for two or even three people at times. Everything is fried so it is not an everyday kind of place. It is a take away and I don't think most would want to sit around at eat in the area anyway. You can buy the fish fried or fresh and take it home to cook. The lady knows me and always has a smile. Very friendly and the service is fast. Remember to always drink responsibly Crazy Cubano Out.
