This place singlehandedly makes Myrtle Ave a habitable place. I would move over here just to chill with Mr. Kiwi on the regular, because he's friendlier and far more useful than anyone else I know. I don't know when a bodega becomes a full-on grocery store, but this place is riding the line pretty hard. They have good beer. Good granola. Good coffee. Good, no-nitrite sausages. Fresh, quality produce. And you know Mr. Kiwi cares about what you put in your body, because he also stocks the organic and health-conscious stuff: Bell & Evans chicken. Several types of fake meat for the vegans. Ronnybrook Farms dairy. Wheatgrass shots. Pre-made salads that actually look good. A serious selection of Asian eats (noodles, kimchi, sushi, etc.). All the sauces, dressings, canned and packaged goods you might want...it's like Whole Foods up in here, with better prices. Basifcally, they've got an astonishing selection of edible items, and just to top it off, an excellent juice/smoothie bar and legitimately wonderful staff/service. Count yourself lucky if you live in the neighborhood. read more

I am visiting for a long work trip, and this store really makes this area feel like an actual neighborhood! They had amazing grapes and a stunning variety of produce. The quality and selection of food is so much better than I expected. And you get hit with a delicious smell of fresh citrus and ginger when you walk in because of the juice bar. read more

I wish their produce was better as they go for cheap, low quality. Today they pulled a bait and switch (this is the second time it's happened to me at Mr. Kiwi) basically I was hit up for a different price than was clearly displayed on a sign, when I called them out on it they still refused to give me the display price. Prospect Market is just a few doors away, has consistently better produce, and their prices are competitive. I called 311 and filed a complaint with the city. I will not shopping at Mr. Kiwi again. read more

The produce in the front of the store in bins is often relatively cheap, but inside the prices on the rest of the produce (as well as on processed foods) are kind of absurd. (Maybe "absurd" is too strong of a word, but standard bodega price-gouging is going on.) Most of the basic salad dressings and salsas are $8 to $10 now, a small-ish head of lettuce is $5, and the chips are $4-6 depending on the bag. Even a year ago it seems like most of this stuff was typically 1-2 dollars cheaper. I regret that we don't have a bigger grocery store in the immediate neighborhood that doesn't price-gouge the way the bodegas do, but this immediate neighborhood is bereft of non-bodega grocers. Horseradish down the street has a smaller selection but is usually cheaper (especially for processed food, maybe not as much for produce). read more

Juice bar is a solid 5 stars. I'm not completely sold on the cleanliness, but the juice they make is on point! I really had no idea what I was doing, but I walked up to the counter, gave them a few fruits and vegetables I wanted in my drink, and walked away with a huge glass of green juice! It was sooooooo good. You wouldn't even know that half of it was kale and celery. The lady making my juice was also super nice! She made a bit too much juice and had me stand at the counter and drink all the extra before I left. read more

I've frequented this store for many years on this occasion I Walked in the store to get a juice as usual. They informed me that the price had gone up no big deal . When I walked to the juice counter the worker snatched the ticket from me so I said if he was okay he decided that I wasn't going to get a juice that day and handed me my ticket back and brushed me off . Clearly they don't care about their customers . I will not be returning read more

Love this fruit and small market . Some things are really really cheap and some very expensive . I usually get my veggies/salads from there Prices very reasonable ! I go there for veggies and fruits only ! At the fresh juice bar price was only $3.00 so worth it now they doubled it ! $6.00 won't be buying juice there any more. Coffee ridiculous expensive amongst other items . Eggs and cheese reasonable but can find cheaper elsewhere. You have to go and see but it's worth it for the right shopping they have pretty much a wide variety of items soups pasta canned jams fresh bread slices drinks ramen and Thai /Chinese types of pastas a nice variety of fruits and vegetables And cleaning products plus per foods and candles ... read more

Located at a very busy intersection, Mr. Kiwi's has some of the freshest, cheapest produce I've ever seen.. ever. The main reason I come here is because I can't resist their $4 smoothies. I customize my smoothie with any amount of fruits and veggies with no extra charge. Mr. Kiwi's is open 24/7! read more

**********************************BLACKS ARE NOT WELCOMED AT THIS STORE****************************************************** I went shopping this morning with my child at Mr. Kiwi. We bought close to $60 dollars worth of food (cash). One of the Korean employees (orange t-shirt and black glasses) followed me all the way to the counter to make sure I paid for the merchandise. He was right behind me and way too close for comfort. As soon as I took the money off my wallet and handed it to the cashier, he turned around and walked toward the back room. I have seen him being extremely agressive and verbally abusive towards his native South-American employees. These employees are working hours on end while being treated like slaves. He also tells them to follow black people around the store. Luckily for now, my child is too small to capture these micro aggressions but will soon hold a grasp of how the world views his Mommy. I will make sure that I report this incident to the proper authorities. This is not the first time I have been followed around at Mr. Kiwi's. There is a surge of businesses that are extremely hostile and uninviting toward black customers in Bed-Stuy, a historically black neighborhood. We need to become proactive and put a stop to this. Reviews on Yelp won't make much of a difference. This place needs to get exposed for what it really is. No one should ever have to go through this in 2022. read more

This is my favorite vegetable stand in Brooklyn. The employees are nice, the prices are unbelievably cheap, the fruits are delicious, the veggies are fresh and the employees are really nice people. Every time I've ever come here they've treated me like a regular even though they likely don't even recognize me from anyone. They sell flowers outside in a little shelter attached to the side that a lot of folks grab to brighten their day. I'm glad that they have social distancing set up in the store for the line because people do tend to crowd up. I come here every week that I'm able to come out of the house and will to continue doing so. read more

RACIST! I've lived in this neighborhood for two years and my boyfriend for over 6. I shop there weekly because yes the produce is fresh and so affordable. But recently I've experienced blatant and overt racial profiling. I was followed during the entire time I shopped and the guy literally came up to the clerk to see if I paid and how and the cashier did a not so discreet head nod to confirm! You could tell she was not comfortable but used to doing that for him. I couldn't believe this! I came here to write my review and sadly see many folks saying the same thing. This is unacceptable . The neighborhood has historically been Black and Latino , we have a right to shop with dignity and respect just like anyone else. Before gentrification we've been keeping this business afloat so it's off putting that the owner would treat the actual people that make up the community this way. read more

Clean, great produce and good prices. I can get fresh produce for under $10 three blocks away. The only down side to this place is that their packaged goods can be pricey. I love purchasing their veggies and flowers! Always fresh and delicious (well, i don't eat the flowers). read more

I love this store except for the fact that when i bought the puffin cereal and it said that I could adopt a puffin for one year but I want to adopt one forever wtf right? Also I want to add that when Yelp said that my review was shorter than most it was offensive so I just wanted to say that. Also the pickles were less crunchy than I hoped but still pretty good. The Phillips baby bellas were so good so no problems there. Also it sucks that I had to confirm my email to post this. read more

What a welcome addition to the fledging mid-gentrification neighborhood of Bushwick. Mr. Kiwi's is bright, clean and the produce is fresh and varied. This place is also very cheap, and the owner is friendly and always helpful. Better yet, they frequently will mark down produce that is on the outs, which make for some great deals for soup and such. Plus, the store carries the basic convenience store items. read more

I was recommended to this place by a friend. She said they make the best health drinks around. I was putting that to the test finally, when again I was in the area. It's a corner store and as soon as you see it they have fresh fruits and vegetables outside on display. When you go in the store it's a bit cluttered but organized. It old and the floor are in need of repair, but it has everything. The aisles are tight, but that's Brooklyn for you. They have two counters. One to pay and the other to order a drink. Both were maned by two people. They all were friendly and very helpful. I asked what the girl making my drink recommend I get and she put a beautiful concoction together for me. She put all the fruit into a machine that removed the pulp and poured the juice into a cup. She told me the price would be four dollars. I felt the price was fare, also there was extra in the machine she used so she told me to drink some in the cup so I could get the rest. That's great I'm my eyes. The lady at the pay counter was friendly and recommend I try ginger next visit. Trust me there will be more visits. I was pleased with the service as well as the drink. Enough to where I will make this my goto for health drinks. read more

This is a neighborhood spot of mine. They have great produce at amazing prices!! I love stopping by for juice as well. They have $4 juice! You can customize your own with as many vegetable/fruit your heart desires without no extra charge! You really can't get better than that! The service here is alright..I've also noticed it gets crowded during the week at 5-8. read more

Mr. Kiwi's is my go to place for fresh press juice, you can chose any combination of fruits and veggies for $4. I just wished they used organic ingredients or at least gave you the option to pay a little more for organic ingredients. They have an array of products from mochi to amy's pizza but be ready to pay for the connivence of a local specialty shop, some of their prices are higher than Whole Foods. Produce is usually very fresh and well priced. I love their wide selection of craft beers, not bad for a shop in the middle of Myrtle ave. read more

I went here pretty much every day when I was in town. Fantastic juice bar, great prices. Kudos to the service as well, they were all friendly and efficient. Great produce and store! read more

Great little corner store! They have fresh produce that's good and affordable. They have almost everything you might need at this store that you might have missed while doing your regular grocery store, but keep an eye out they might over charge you since the input the prices manually and don't check. They also have fresh juice you just tell them what you want an they will make you a fresh healthy drink. read more

I love going here for their great prices and large selection on produce and veggie/vegan proteins. Only thing I wish would change are the people begging for money right outside. Everyday like clockwork. read more

This is a perfect place to grab organic produce--especially for day of cooking. Most of the produce you buy from outside won't last long, but is excellent. The food from the inside are also great, except they can be a little pricey. Lastly, they make great juices and you can tell them what produce you want them to juice. read more

Love Kiwi's. Cheap juice bar Lots of cheap produce Vegan options Beers Sweet staff I'm here at least a few times a week read more

Freshest discounted produce. Amino acids, almond/oat milk, avocado oils, miso pastes, GMO-free, and 0 additives salsa and chips, etc. Local Whole Foods away from the corporate one. Thanks to the team for keeping our neighbors healthy. read more

Mr. Kiwi's has great deals on groceries, especially when they have sale items out in front of the store. Even the items inside the store are usually priced pretty reasonably. Their juice bar is also great! The juice is very fresh and reasonably priced. I love shopping and getting a drink here. read more

Horrible. They followed me around the store relentlessly after I went in to literally buy lemons. I don't even understand how they are still in service . read more

Better produce than the Food Bazaar across the street, most of the time. Cheaper too. I suspect they're deliberately undercutting FB, but it's a win-win for everyone. They should start selling steaks too so I can avoid FB altogether. And FB definitely doesn't have deli sushi. Or a juice bar. read more

You have to be careful in here. Know the prices of everything you are buying. They CONSISTENTLY overcharge me, all the time. Doesn't matter who is ringing you up. I have been coming here for years and I swear it happens at least 1/4 of the time. Also- the veggies outside are cheap but they are just shy of rotten!! I don't shop here unless I absolutely have to. read more

After reading Peter L.'s review (http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=AkvIVG8Ti7zYFykef6KL9Q) on Mr. Kiwi, I decided to start requesting a copy of my receipt in case Peter's review had any truth in it because I don't know about you, but I don't like being ripped off. And I don't want to support a business if they are crooks. So ever since I've been requesting a receipt, the cashier has been non-friendly and stern. It is customary to provide a receipt when a purchase has been made so why are you giving me attitude for asking for one?? I won't be spending my hard earned money here anymore unless I ABSOLUTELY have to. read more

File this one under Reviews White People Write. I was making vegetarian chili, which called for tempeh. Being an Indonesian food, none of the ethnic markets in Ridgewood carried it, nor did the normal supermarkets like Key Food or gourmet shops like Green Line or Rachel's Garden. I begrudgingly hopped on the M Train to Mr. Kiwi's, where, as expected, I found the aforementioned soy product (with flax!). Thanks, Mr. Kiwi! You saved the day for our indie-folk house party! read more

Thank goodness for Mr. Kiwi's! The only other grocery option in the neighborhood is Food Dimensions, which is great if you want to die. If you don't want to die, and you forgot to grab an essential item in Manhattan, and you're me and have standards, you go to Mr. Kiwi's. Produce has great prices, but tends to be on the verge of expiration. I don't know why this is, but everything has worked out pretty well for me. Non-produce is a little on the expensive side, but what are you gonna do when you really need some cheese at 3 am in Bushwick? Not eat cheese? I don't think that's an option. You're eating cheese and you're going to Mr. Kiwi's to purchase it. They don't really have any meat here, so buy your meat elsewhere (but not Food Dimensions unless you want to die, as previously stated). They DO have those awesome little mochi cakes with the smooshed up beans in the middle (I am in love with these). I would rather have that than a hunk of meat any day, so whatever, meat! The cashiers are very nice and will have pleasant conversations about your ice cream selection. Oh, and the place is open 24 hours. Kiwi, you're a winner. read more

Wandering around in this cramped, labyrinth-like, slice shaped corner space, you can't help but feel like a lost, but well-fed Minotaur. At least you can subsist on fine produce (at reasonable rates), organic and vegan snacks, a broad selection of beer, and freshly squeezed juices and smoothies. I stock up on fruit, vegetables, DeCecco pasta, kombucha & various sundries here because I'm an accidental vegan. If this is Crete, you better hope Theseus doesn't show up any time soon. read more

Officially on the juice train. $4 for what amounts to be about 23 ounces of juice post-moustache-residing pull top-off---hey, my professional juicewoman told me to! Today I got orange, kale, pineapple, and a full plug of ginger. "Do you like it spicy?" "I like it spicy." Listen, I know there's a whole debate about the loss of insoluble fiber, the sugar, etc., but guys, this is fresh juice. Nature's dessert. It's doing a lot more harm than good. Get off the blogs. Watch how much fruit they use. Watch how much you get for your money. I wonder what the profit margin is on these things. Nothing good in my life has lasted. Mr. Kiwi. Pls. The line's sometimes long but moves real quick. The ladies who make the juice are the friendliest people I've ever encountered on Myrtle Ave. Yuuuum read more

I adore Mr. Kiwis. I would go out of my way to do the majority of my grocery shopping here. The produce is seriously delicious and stays ripe for just the right amount of time. I'm down with the juice bar and very content with the variety of shelf food that they offer. They don't have much in the way of basic processed food; the stock is almost all natural or organic. Not a beer person, but I know plenty of people that would be over the moon about the bottled craft beer selection. The very best part about the place is that they are seemingly aware of how busy they get and are always fully staffed, making checkout quick and efficient. Which, let's be honest, is totally prime when it's 7 o clock and you're trying to get from the subway to the couch with your pickles and ice cream as quickly as possible. read more

I've been going to this grocery regularly since I moved to Brooklyn. I like the convenience of having fresh juice 24 hours a day. I'm big on healthy stuff and having this is sacred! I usually get beet, pineapple, green apple, kale, grapefruit and ginger. Yes it's a lot but they let you sip the remainder of everything. They're generous! I like the selection of the products and how affordable and fresh the produce are! Keep it up :) read more

I wish Mr. Kiwi would follow me everywhere I go and keep me sated. I would starve in this neighborhood of fried meat (which I appreciate, but don't partake in), crappy pizza (there's no excuse for crappy pizza), and lack-luster soul food (I'll make my own collards and sweet potatoes, thanks anyway) if it weren't for my round-the-clock food savior, Mr. Kiwi! My summer diet has been composed of almost nothing but their super cheap produced deals, conveniently located outside, providing healthy, affordable temptation on my walk home from the subway. My breakfasts are always brighter with a fresh-pressed $3 juice (carrot, beet, and lemon is my favorite). My late night munchies are satisfied by their selection of some of my favorite treats, including kale chips, Newman-Os, and an extensive selection of chips and salsa. The prices are cheaper and the selection is better than other delis and food stores in the area, and they're always open! This place is a gem. read more

Dear Mr. Kiwi, When I think about your store, I feel the urge to get down on my knees and praise the LAWD. Where would I get The Best Storebought Hummus In The World aka Sabra Hummus with Tahini if not for you and your close proximity to my apartment? You also carry Hero Strawberry Jam, Synergy Kombucha, Heartland Low-Fat Granola, and Kashi TLC Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Cookies. But what really makes me a true believer is how friendly your workers are, that you don't have a credit card minimum, and that you cater to those of us who must lead dairy- or gluten-free lifestyles (those poor, poor souls). Thank you thank you thank you. You'd be a four-star Bushwick institution if only your fresh produce wasn't so inconsistent; moldy strawberries hurt my feelings... read more

Mr. Kiwi's is definitely the best store under the JMZ and my preferred stop whenever I need fresh produce. Sure, most of their grocery goods are severely overpriced (you're paying for organic/earthy-crunchy goods in a bodega in a hipster neighborhood...need I say more?) but their produce is usually SUPER CHEAP and really good for the area. Finding 3 for $1 fresh zucchini in the dead of winter? $1 cartons of cherry tomatoes? YUUUUP. It can be hit or miss sometimes, but you can avoid that by...not buying the stuff that doesn't look fresh. Rocket science, I know. Besides that, they're open 24 hours so they have all of your late-night munchie needs, from Talenti gelato to dumplings and chips (not that I know anything about that). There's also a juice bar that is always popping, no matter what time of the day or night. Credit card on purchases over $10 only unfortunately, but you can easily stock your fridge with enough vegetables for a month with that amount. read more

Fresh and inexpensive produce for the win!!! My father-in-law introduced me to this place about 5 years ago and I could not believe all that I could get for so little money. A true gem in the community where everything is so pricey and often not worth it. I used to worry at first it was too good to be true, that I'd get home cut into some produce and see it was going bad or something but that's never the case. Always fresh! I mean where else am I getting large grapefruits 2 for $1; raspberries, blueberries and sometimes strawberries for $1; fresh greens and lettuce consistently inexpensive. The cherry on top of Mr. Kiwi is the fresh juice station. A large (about 16oz) is $4 and a small (about 12oz) is $3. You choose whatever you want to put in your juice for additional cost ANNDDDDD there will almost always be a bit more made than the ounces you purchased they simply let you drink it down and pour in the remaining juice!!! Where they do that at?!?!?!??!? Only Mr. Kiwi's!!! read more

It's time I give these guys a good review. This is my go-to for everything. Who has time to make an extra stop after work to go to Duane Reade off Flushing? Ran by a couple generations of koreans. Always nice and pleasant. Always open. Fresh fruits and veggies. Most importantly they have Neoguri spicy noodles. No where conveniently close to the myrtle/broadway stop has the Korean noodle selection they have. It's right next to the market hotel (if you can find the entrance), so easily brown bag it. The prices are higher but fair. Considering you don't have to walk over to Food Dimensions and wait in the long line, especially the first of every month, it's a good collateral. UPS: they take cards. they got a juicer. good oriental food selection. beer selection is solid. good people. DOWNS: have to say blunt wrap like 3x every time. No fresh meat. Doesn't matter what i buy, i walk out feeling healthier because i shop there. read more
