So this Chinese supermarket specializing in Asian items and also Central-American items ----…read morebecause a lot of their customers are Central-American immigrants ---- is 100% Chinese: all the staff are Chinese. They're not going to chit-chat with you about the latest news story in the New York Post. It's pure business: you walk in, if you want seafood that's still swimming in the tank, or, if you want fresh vegetables which aren't sold at Key Food, then, this place will pretty much have it. Other than that there's lots of Instant Ramen ---- from Japan, Korea, China, Malaysia, Vietnam ---- and lots of spices from both Asia and the Caribbean. And a "Goya" section too. Oh, Kimichi, did I mention Kimchi in glass jars? And yes, they do have basics ---- milk, eggs, cheese, meat, cat food. A great little addition to the Bronx, well worth a visit. A lot more interesting to wander through and see some interesting imported items you might want to buy; more fun than Key Food. Well worth a visit.

Sorry this place sucks, went to buy a 2.29 bag of chips and they wouldn't accept my payment method…read moreand would only take cash, demanding 5 dollars for a 2.29 bag of chips, and the lady spoke to me like I was stupid, how about you fix your system first. The place was pretty underwhelming too like a run down warehouse, Hmart is better.

They have SO much stuff to choose from in here. It really does live up to the Gourmet name…read more I didn't find what I was looking for in here, and I don't shop here usually (I usually go to the Stop & Shop down the block lol), but I appreciated the variety of items in-store and the cleanliness also. They also have a dining area outside.

Great store with a lot of international products!…read more However, I've noticed a change lately in the cheese department. The store seems to be focusing more on expensive organic products, but unfortunately the quality control on some of the cheeses has gone down. I've purchased several cheeses here recently that tasted over-aged and strongly ammoniated. Properly aged European cheeses should have complex, nutty, earthy flavors -- not a harsh ammonia taste or smell. This has happened multiple times now. One of the biggest issues is that everything is prepackaged in plastic, so you cannot properly smell or assess the cheese before buying it. You only discover the problem once you get home and open the package. A good cheese counter should allow customers to smell or sample cheeses, especially imported and aged varieties.

They specialize in items from Nigeria and the surrounding area. They had a few things I recognized…read morebut a ton I didn't and a few that were shockingly pungent. The cashier was friendly but was convinced that the Whitie must have some ulterior motive for visiting his store. He asked if I owned a store and I had to explain that not only did I not own a competing business but that I lived across the nation. He relaxed a little after that. Got some exotic snacks for the fam to try out. The corn nuts were very familiar, the dried sweet plantains were delicious and still very moist and the Chin Chin, the snack that looked like dog kibble, was far better than I had any right to expect it to be. An all around delightful, little excursion.

I'm sad to leave this review, but I honestly want LB to *do better* so I can improve my rating…read more I've been coming to Lost Borough since they opened. IMO, they have THEEE BEST ice cream - hands down. The folks complaining about the flavors have to try them all; there's something for everyone (I promise). I've never been disappointed! Freshly homemade, rich, decadent, and all-around flavorful without being too sweet. And the cookies are amazing! THAT SAID, I've noticed that over the years the scoops have gotten smaller and smaller. Some of the original servers who used to generously scoop - as warranted per the price - have been replaced by newer servers who (for some reason) skimp on the single and doubles. The cups have changed, but I know my servings, and it's definitely not the same. For $6 per scoop, I want to really enjoy the dessert; not feel as if I was cheated somehow. I want to continue to support LB, but I don't want to feel like I am wasting money; please fix this!

The only negative about Lost Borough is that you are limited to two samples. Every flavor was so…read moreincredibly unique and representative of Latino culture. I wanted to try every flavor. I'll just have to come back instead. I ended up choosing watermelon sugar which is a cream based not ice based as expected. This made it so creamy and brought out the sugar flavor in a way that didn't make it too sweet. The line outside is well worth the wait

This is a small but very complete local farmers' market that meets every Sunday on the grounds of…read moreChurch of the Mediator one block away from the 231st station on the 1 train. A must visit market for your fruits and veggies. The farmers' that come here are small family-owned farms from NY & NJ! Everything they carry is fresh, local, and organic with no pesticides or spray. And as if all of the above PLUS having a farmers' market up here in the Bronx isn't amazing enough their prices are ridiculous!!! They are often the same if not cheaper than the regular stuff we find in our supermarkets. Really, I find this to be pretty incredible because organic food is usually so much more expensive, but not here. I went there today and picked up apples, plums, peaches, kale, red basil (smells AMAZING), eggplant, zucchini, cucumbers, tomato, beets and organic corn (I stressed organic because what we find in stores is mostly genetically modified corn) - my total was under $25. The market often has cooking demos and you can always find literature on food education, recipes, seasonality, recycling, etc. and the beautiful ladies that organize this truly do an amazing job and are very passionate about everything the market stands for. If are a local make an effort to stop by you will not be disappointed. Go support!!!

This is a Farmers Market tucked in the front yard of a church in Kingsbridge, a quick walking…read moredistance from the 231 1 St. subway stop. I went to the farmers market this week up in Kingsbridge since I missed the Saturday one in Inwood. When I arrived to the market I was...surprised. There's only one stand! When I think of a farmers market I imagine 10+ vendors selling a variety of locally sourced goods. The stand that was there only has fruits and veggies. I didn't think to ask at the time if there are more vendors during the spring/summer season. The individuals that were running this particular stand were warm and welcoming! At the market I picked up zucchini, squash, and a mini-bucket of brussel sprouts. My favorite part of this market was its affordability - those three items for $5.75?! Sign. Me. UP! The veggies were fresh and great in my dinner Sunday evening. At the end of the day I did have to run to Aldi to pick up items I was hoping to purchase at this market. But it won't stop me from coming back since the prices can't be beat, and I hope they can feature more vendors in the future!

The service today was subpar again. We've had the following happen twice to us on different days:…read more We made sure to correct the cashier on the error she made with our order. She said she corrected the error and apologized. Then, after we paid, she noticed she still charged us more than we were supposed to be. She said she couldn't change anything because it was after the purchase had already paid for. We were furious. We tried before we paid and she said it was corrected. How many times are we to correct someone about the order before it was made?

The family that owns this place is very friendly and they exhibit great customer service. As far as the juices, I always order the Crazy Green and it is still my favorite to this day. Over the last few years they have worked on the decor and overall appearance of the shop which has taken their branding very far. Their açaí bowls are great and as per my friends, their salads taste really good. If in the area, stop by and visit.
