a view of a grocery store
Marlena K.

This place is SO EXPENSIVE. Whole Foods looks like Walmart let's put it that way. Some things are not bad like $3.50 for pita bread but other things are just crazy. If you looking for kosher meat I'm pretty sure mountain fruit is cheaper or find a butcher because the prices here are just not good. We spent a little over $70 and walked out with three small shopping bags. Sunday the parking lot is valet so come ready $ or get angry being in traffic and maneuvering though double parked cars! Please don't message me saying I don't know the price of kosher food my comparison is based off other kosher shopping stores.

This is by far the most expensive grocery store I have ever set foot in, in my life! And I used to shop in Beverly Hills. And currently shop Whole Foods/Amazon Fresh, which are pricy also. But not like this store! While this store may be too expensive to be a staple for me, they do have an excellent selection of high-quality European bar chocolates, unique sweets here in there. So, I'll end up being a regular. And let's not forget that they are completely kosher! Only minus one star because of the insane pricing (think $67 for a 4 pound roast, which will shrink when you cook it). I enjoyed everything else.

So what if this is a Seedy place?

In America, there's observant and there's OBSERVANT when it comes to a Jewish upbringing. Growing up, my family fell into the former category, carving out our own interpretation of tradition, cooking strictly kosher meat at home, and loosening those rules when we dined out to only forbid shellfish and pork. All growed up, I've strayed. A lot. But I can still appreciate a place like this: First of all, every time I set foot in here, I get a kick (get it?) out of how organized, clean and pleasant it is. Even though this store has been open for years now, that jolt of excitement remains. 'Cause let's just say, kosher markets have never been known for their aesthetic sense. I don't come here all that often, but when I do, it tends to be for Israeli products like Milky, a whipped cream-topped chocolate pudding that puts Jello to shame, Bamba, sort of like Cheetos if they happened to be covered in peanut butter dust, and a crunchy savory snack called Bissli, that comes in a bunch of flavors, most notably Falafel. Also love the bars of Elite Milk Chocolate with Popping Candies, or Pop Rocks to you and me. The other day, I picked up a small jar of Ta'amti brand Green Schug, a hot chili paste that hubby grew up on. Normally, he'd be all snobby about eating a commercially produced version of this, but he tried it and gave it a thumbs up. So there's that too. And there's Tahini. So much Tahini. I even spotted flavored Tahini on my last visit, including Dill, Parsley, Pesto, Hot Red Pepper, Spicy Chili, Sweet Chili, Date Syrup, and Peanut Butter! And if you're ISO Tahini made from unhulled sesame seeds, which supposedly contains tons more calcium, they have that here too. This supermarket is also great if you happen to be in need of a strictly kosher hostess gift. My brother happens to have strayed the other way in that he's OBSERVANT. So we often stop here to get a pareve (dairy-free) dessert to bring over to dinner at his place. Alas, while gorgeous looking, none of the cakes we've tried so far have actually tasted good, though it's all relative when you're used to kosher, so my brother's happy. We've had better luck with some of the Israeli-style house made salads and dips fwiw. When I first moved to NYC, I lived with my OBSERVANT brother and as such, had to abide by his house rules. So I remember longing for the *good* kosher equivalent of foods I normally took for granted, like goat cheese, feta, and parm. Back then, this was a challenge to seek out, even here. But kosher has come a long way, baby. And perhaps no other BK supermarket reflects that better than this one.

My favourite aisle

I just died and went to shiksa heaven. Here's why: -Everyone knows vegans and pareve kosher food are a match made in heaven. I recently even decided to eat pareve instead of vegan - I was having a protein issue and so expanded my palate to include the neutral eggs and fish, which along with all things vegan, count as pareve. So this is a great place to find everything I could ever want, and things I never even knew existed. I also enjoy the fact that knish has its own heading on the aisle signage. -I think Jewish guys are cuuuuuuuuute. There are lots of cute Jewish guys here, if lurking is your thing (it's mine, heh). And ladies, don't worry, I also think you are beautiful (really, I do). I am just enamored with the Jewish community in general, so it's a nice space to be in (even if middle aged women will glance disapprovingly at your bike shorts and all the cute guys won't look even once at you, sigh). But really, this is a very cool way to support and be among the community, if you, like me, can't actually be a part of it (SUPER SAD FACE FOREVER). -I didn't think prices here were that horrible, especially considering that this is basically the kosher Whole Foods. I bought mostly things I came in for (chickpeas, lemons, gum) and none of them were expensive at all. The things I wanted that were expensive (Israeli chocolate spread omgggg), I knew I wouldn't die without and didn't buy, and most other things (Earth Balance, Tofutti cream cheese) were reasonably, normally priced. I was lucky enough to have my friend with me who grew up Chassidish, and he gave me the inside scoop on things I would probably like that I would have never known existed without him. -This store is huge and clean and easy to get to, and customer service is excellent with a ton of employees around. I want to come back so hard! Next time I won't be sweaty, sunburned, and immodestly dressed. Girl's gotta have some respect, sometimes, anyway. :) _ Aaaand here's a music video for you to enjoy featuring Pomegranate (8th Day, Ya'alili) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fXIMUyrw7s

This coffee shop is a gem within the Pomegranate supermarket. It's a cozy little spot within the store that offers a variety of coffees, lattes, cappuccinos, teas, etc., They also have fresh and deliciously mouthwatering pastries such as white chocolate blondies, scones, brioche sticky buns, brown butter financiers, and much more! I love the coffee and the lattes here---and the hot chocolate here is amazing too! And to top it all off all of the lattes are finished with beautiful artwork, which is always a nice touch. The service here is also great. The baristas and manager are always there with a friendly smile and an eagerness to help. You can tell that they really care and that every drink is made with love.

Pomegranate! Well, well. Before Pomegranate existed, going grocery shopping was a pain in the ass. Seriously. Pomegranate makes going to the grocery a pleasure, an outing, a fun activity. Cleanliness in a grocery is a big deal and they do not fall short. Floors are always sparkly and produce is amazing, clean and shiny. I love that they have cut up fruits on site too. They have a super large takeout with phenomenal chickens, fish, meats. Lots of side dishes. Butcher and Fishmonger on site. And really the best part of it all is that the isles are sooo wide! There's no crazy trolley traffic. Service is top notch. There are always employees ready and willing to help. They are on the pricier side! BUT ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!

This is a brilliant little grocery with all the essentials and quite a bit of Asian variety…read moreavailable too, along with a small produce selection. There's a lot packed in there! It's a good choice for coffee, snacks, but also fennel, vegan food, kimchi, or eucalyptus cuttings (and, like many small grocery stores, some things are better deals than others). Importantly for the neighborhood, Bad Wife also sell live plants and flowers at very reasonable prices. In the spring and summer, they'll often have flowering plants available. I've always had great interactions with the staff here, and am a fan of the place.

Earlier today, I purchased several plants. In the evening, I returned to the store to return those…read moreitems, for a refund. I no longer wanted those plants. Mrs. Lee refused to accept the return. She referred to a sign that read, plants are not returnable. That particular sign was displayed at at the back of the plant section, on a high shelf. Interestingly enough, at the cash register, there is a sign that states, "Refund policy provided within 2 days receipt." It is mandatory for stores to visibly display their return policy at the cash register. 'The Bad Wife' failed to do so. Mrs. Lee's attitude was rude and dismissive despite being told return policies must be clearly visible by the cash register.

The fresh produce here is much more fresh than at neighboring grocery stores - it tastes better,…read morelasts longer, and generally there is an organic and non-organic options to whatever produce you want to buy. They also have a much larger variety of fresh and packaged produce than neighboring grocery stores. They have loads of gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, BPA free, organic etc products too. The meats here are fresher and they are generally always well stocked with whatever I need. They ALSO have loads of ready made meals - pizza, pastas, fresh salads, soups, sushi, a mini patisserie, bakery (including cakes, bagels of diff flavors, fresh pretzels etc), cheese bar (with every kind of cheese you can think of, both local and imported from around the world). They offer a wide range of organic juices and international lunch foods to pack and go. The shop is always immaculate and the products are never dusty/expired. The customer service here is amazing - employees are super nice and extremely attentive, and even when DoorDash screwed up my order, they went out of their way to repack it and use one of their own guys to deliver it to me so I wouldn't have to deal with the frustration of Whenever there is a hard to find product that comes to mind, I know FGM is going to carry it. Is it more expensive? Yes. But that's because the produce is fresher, tastes better, is healthier, and there is a huge variety of local products coming from smaller farms and smaller companies (which equals a higher price).

This place is very expensive for just about everything. That's why it's always empty even in this…read morewealthier neighborhood. Feels like Chelsea prices. They have great ready to take meals though and great hot bar and cold bar. Good cafe. Even seating to eat. Great drink selections. Good butcher. If you can afford to shop here, it's splendid. Their produce and fruit prices are wild though. They have great local products like bread and oatmeal and beverages which I really respect and like supporting.
