8/12/23 Finally got around to visiting my neighbors' shop, corner of Downey & Alondra. It's a small…read moreshop compared to most markets but it has many items worth trying. I didn't have much time to peruse coz hubby was hurrying me up. By chance, met Paul, our neighbor (about a half a block away) who was busy minding the store, dressed sharply and welcoming, friendly. Most of the food that was prepared from home is written in Thai, so I inquired what's in the containers. Hubby chose the shrimp & rice, I selected the pork meal. There was so much to see & I wanted to but more but that's just being greedy lol. I picked up dessert as well. I would love to come back to check out the rest. He also had Thai eggplant, chilies, mushrooms, very small produce table but it looked fresh! Come check it out for Thai inspired items.

Love this place. True thai market. They small but seem to have everything you ever need or wish for.read more

If you love exploring incredible flavors, this market is an absolute must-visit. It is a fantastic…read moreplace to taste your way through all kinds of foods from around the world. Their international selection is impressive, featuring everything from Spanish to Asian specialties, but there are two things you absolutely cannot leave without: ​The Phenomenal Cheeses: Their Gouda and overall cheese selection are out of this world. Rich, authentic, and high-quality. ​The European Gummies: I have been a certified gummy candy lover for 60 years, and I can confidently say that the European gummies they carry are better than any other gummy I have ever tasted. They are unmatched!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for the first time in at least a decade. I was immediately…read moregreeted by a man with a pony tail as I went directly to the deli counter. I waited for a while and received no assistance so I asked the guy for help. The man did not speak Dutch so I explained to him what I wanted (salami deli meat). I asked him for a pound of deli meat. I went to shop around the store and noticed the fridges were empty as were the isles. After a few minutes I came back to the deli counter and found my uncut piece of meat (in tube form) placed on the weigh scale? To my dismay I asked him if he was going to cut it with the pretty slicer machine near him? I mean that's how it used to work and how it works at any other deli meat counters. As the man cut the salami I continued to shop and picked up a jar of silver onions that looked brownish ( the onions inside the jar) and I thought well maybe they are supposed to look this way. Maybe they were a different type of onions. When I thought to look for an expiration date again to my dismay I observed that it had been expired since 2023. Unfortunately I purchased extra pedas chili which looked ok but when I got home I found out that it has been expired since 2018 (please see attached picture). This wasn't the worst of it though because we found a jar of something with leafy green bits that had been expired since 2013. Yes 2013! Bro! You think I should try the chili? You think I'll survive? This place has gone to the pits. Hopefully a health inspector straightens this place out. Furthermore when I got the salami back the slices looked as if my he deli meat cutter blade was very dull.

This review should let everyone know that this is the only real market place for products you may crave or want to learn about if you are of Dutch descent or have a distinct Indo heritage. Of course everyone is welcome and you won't be sorry if you make it to this quaint but fully stocked store of imported products. Dutch cheese? Yes. Indonesian spices? Yes. All sorts of chocolates and Dropjes and Indo Mie and peanut sauces and Speculaas cookies. DeIfts Blue and shrimp chips? Yes. If you are not sure about the products' description or availability, Holland International Market can be connected online. Friendly and attentive with always a smile from proprietor Marie, and staff makes this a wonderful way to shop for old world goods from the Netherlands and goodies with Indonesian unique flavors.

I actually came across Padekwa Cafe while watching an influencer on TikTok--and yes, I was…read moredefinitely influenced to check it out! Let me just say, Padekwa is so much more than a coffee shop. It's a community space that hosts pop-up events, Sip & Paint nights, Open Mic nights, and even R&B and Gumbo nights. It's the kind of place where people come together to enjoy great coffee and great company. Now, let's talk about the coffee! They offer an impressive variety of specialty coffees and matcha drinks, and you can even add collagen to your beverage. I ordered the praline coffee with a sprinkle of brown sugar and added collagen. It was absolutely delicious--smooth, rich, and full of flavor. Every sip was worth it! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it easy to relax, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy the moment. It's clear that Padekwa is about creating an experience, not just serving coffee.

Best coffee shop in Lakewood! Okay so much to say here so I'm gonna go off. The food is super yummy…read moreand it's cooked by one of the owners. Family owned so that is a point all on its own and they're such a sweet loving family too. I love the brownies and coffee cake and she gave me the corner piece! The space is insanely cool with two main rooms and even a smaller conference room. So many potential services and classes/experiences offered. This is what community means. If u need a place to feel cozy safe and love come here. If you're like me and need a place to work then it's perfect for that too. Can't say enough. I even booked a tattoo with Gewell and I love it (yes there is a small, clean, and licensed room on site dedicated to tattoo!!! And no coffees or food are made there haha).

I normally don't leave negative reviews, but I wanted to share my experience…read more I placed my order in advance and picked it up on Saturday. I specifically ordered a mix of carnitas, buche, and cueritos. When I got home, I realized my order only contained carnitas. On Sunday, I called the restaurant to let them know what had happened. I wasn't calling to argue I simply wanted to inform them that my order had not been prepared correctly and to understand how situations like this are usually handled. Unfortunately, the owner was very disrespectful throughout the conversation. Instead of listening or trying to resolve the issue, he repeatedly asked, "What do you want me to do?" When I calmly asked what their usual process was for handling order mistakes, he became even ruder and ultimately hung up on me. Everyone makes mistakes, and I understand that. What disappointed me was not the incorrect order, but the lack of professionalism and respect when I tried to address the issue. Customer service is just as important as the food, and based on this experience, I cannot recommend this business.
