When my son & I arrived in Brooklyn from Virginia Beach following Christmas Day we made a quick Instacart order from the Brooklyn store that is also my "Go To" grocer in Virginia Beach. Oh, NO!! They didn't have my favorite low calorie after dinner snack. I immediately found a nearby store, Prospect Market that had my favorites. I scheduled an order for the next morning. The delivery was prompt & accurate. So when my son gave me the bad news that we would run out of my favorite coffee I decided to visit Prospect Market & search for something similar. I had previously seen the nicely done storefront on Prospect Park W in the midst of the main shopping & eatery area in Windsor Terrace. So I knew it was close & had street parking available. The clean, long & wide aisled market featured a plethora of my favorites. It was similar to a market I had shopped in often when my son lived in Carroll Gardens. On a visit to the old neighborhood I learned that market had been acquired by Prospect Market. I'm not one to browse aisles. So after my son directed me to the coffee section, I immediately started searching for caramel infused beans. There were two choices. I went with my son's recommendation, which was a brand based in Queens. It was excellent. The right coffee is the perfect way to begin my day. Prospect Market solved my coffee emergency. I'll return often when I'm visiting my son. Prospect Market has a great selection of my favorites. read more

This market is jam packed with grocery items and has much to offer. Immaculate, well stocked and gourmet would be a few words I'd use to describe it. I don't live in the area but whenever I drop in, I find myself picking up some items I normally cannot find in Carroll Gardens. I would like to uproot this store to my neighborhood! Their produce section is extensive and attractively arranged. Towards the back is a very nice cheese section. For those who are vegetarian/vegan, there is a copious selection of tofu, tempeh and seitan products. I really like their frozen food section and the meat department is fairly decent with regards to what they carry, including the Beyond Meat line. I can continue to list the many categories of what is in stock only to outline the vast selections. Because I don't live in the area and had to carry my groceries back home, I couldn't buy too much. My bag contained a tray of chicken wings (for BBQ), 2 Polar diet fudge sodas, Ithaca beet/lemon hummus and a package of mini Naan bread totaling $19.17. I think their prices are average/standard. Really nice market in this part of Brooklyn. read more

A very solid four stars. The cashiers are more professional and polite than most, and there is low staff turnover. The manager is always on site and seems friendly to staff, conversing fluently in Spanish even though the owners are Arabic. The store has all the basics as well as some more unusual and hard to find foods - outstanding labneh, tons of organic eggs (reasonably priced, compared with other stores), all the Bob's Red Mill flours, good nuts and seeds, organic options in other foods like tahini. One star subtracted for (packaged) organic salad leaves that are routinely wilted or slimy, even if within the sell-by date. The romaine lettuce is also always pink and slimy at the cut ends. Nasty. It seems to be a refrigeration issue and could be fixed. read more

Dropped a star. Since their remodeling the inventory is weirdly inconsistent and they run out of stuff and never restock it. The aisles are often double loaded with stacks of boxes so the store is cramped and entry is no longer limited. You have to squeeze, and the line is often long. Stressful with COVID still rampaging. Shelf packers and manager don't always wear masks over their whole face and an older shelf packer is just downright creepy if you're a female. He definitely didn't get the #metoo memo. The cashiers are super nice. read more

Customer Rapport A regular customer, I went to Prospect Market last Monday at 8:40 pm. I bought a bottle of water and looked to buy some juice. Manager Omar suddenly showed up next to me. He turned off the tube of light above the section of juice. He continued to turn off the tube of light above the section of water. I found that rude to a shopping customer. I wonder if he did that because I am a woman. Yesterday I took issue with him. I offered a suggestion. I said," if you need to preclose the market at 8:40 pm, 20 minutes before the posted closing time at 9 pm, you can lock the glass doors to send a clear message." That would work better than pressing against a petite female who was in the midst of shopping, and turning off the lights over the items that she was selecting. I believe a market like this serves the community. It is not a wholesale operation. Customer rapport and community relationship are basic for its business. Respect for male as well as female clients is equally important. read more

Prospect Market - Avocado from Prospect Market - Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Revistting this business I am very happy to shop here. It is organized, seems clean, carries just the right items - a mix of basic supermarket and natural/organic products. The prices are about what everyone else charges. Best place to shop on 8th Ave. hands down. read more

What I like about the market is that it is clean and has some specialty items that other small markets do not have. My gripe about this place is that the cashiers are always on their phones. I was here today around 3pm and when I pulled up to the checkout counter I said hello to the cashier. Her face was glued to her phone screen and she did not acknowledge me. She continued to complete her text messaging before ringing me up. This phone issue is becoming such a big issue everywhere. ATTENTION MANAGEMENT!!!! Please do NOT allow your employees to use their phones while on the clock! This is extremely disrespectful to the customers. read more

Totally adequate neighborhood grocery store, with selections slanting towards natural and organic foods. (Don't worry, they still stock Cheetos, Hebrew National hot dogs, and Poland Spring sparkling water.) The produce section is right up front. There are sales from time to time, but usually the prices are consistent. Not too pricey. The leafy greens aren't particularly fresh, for the most part. Kale, for example, and lettuces, are iffy. The fish selection is quite limited, often just tilapia and salmon. They've got beef, but again, not a lot of variety. I was also a bit let down recently by the sausage selection: no bratwursts, and the only Italian sausages were mild and made from chicken. It's nice that there isn't a card minimum. When the store gets crowded, it can be quite hard to navigate the tiny aisles. Still, there's plenty of good stuff on offer here, and I can usually find something I want to consume. read more

I like that this location is near the park which allows you to stop in or after a visit. The store is nicely organized and has tons of variety. The aisles are a bit narrow and can get congested during rush hours. I liked that they do not have a minimum on credit cards. The cashiers were all very friendly. read more

Bettter training in courteous customer service is desperately needed. Many of the cashiers are ornery and attitudinal as management defends their unprofessional rude mannerisms. Unconscionable to spend my hard earned money only to be treated rudely, oftentimes. I give Prospect Market a Poor rating. Polite customer service goes a long way. Thanks! read more

The grocery stores in this little corner of Brooklyn are generally small and overpriced. I had considered Prospect Market the best of a sad bunch since their produce is generally ok and they manage to squeeze a lot into a fairly small store. Yesterday I purchased some folded Just Eggs and put them straight into my freezer - today I took them out and 3 of the 4 are already covered in mold spots. They don't expire until either March or May (not sure what month the "MA" on the box refers to) so I assume the problem is with Prospect Market's refrigeration and handling process. I didn't keep my receipt and can't get a refund. Buyer beware with this place, especially if you're buying anything temperature sensitive. read more

Prospect Market - Moldy Just Egg purchased from Prospect Market - Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have lived down the block for about 15 years. After they expanded/remodeled it was great. I'm not sure if it's been covid or what, but lately the cashiers are ALWAYS on their phones and sometimes barely acknowledge your existence. I don't need a whole conversation but the phone use is super rude sometimes. Maybe they are overworked, I don't know. Use your phone on breaks. That said, it's super convenient for me and the prices aren't bad. They just seem to be getting sloppy with management regarding customer service. read more

We get our essentials here like milk, basil, cheese etc. It is pretty well-stocked for a small grocery store. The cashiers are always friendly. We notice they do not carry pork but it's not a deal breaker for us. read more

They pack a lot of variety into a small space with some high end products alongside standard stuff. Its a one stop shop from food to basic cleaning products with eco friendly brands too. Their bread section has Bread Alone at one end of the Keto spectrum and also low carb pitas at the other end, that are impossible to find at most places. The small meat section has some organic (not enough) choices, usually chicken or ground beef, and no pork, FYI. Sometimes they have specials that are very good deals when other stores are selling at twice the price. Big bonus is the friendly cashiers who seem to stay a long time, with a low turnover. They greet you and are politely friendly and seem to enjoy working there. It would be nice to have more local and seasonal fruit and vegetables. read more

I typically shop at the 5th street location- but these neatly, fully stocked, clean shelves and isles are such a refreshing shopping experience. read more

I wish this place weren't my local market. I have just had Yet another instance of being overcharged for my groceries. You should literally ask for a receipt and check it every time you're here. I think mostly it's laziness/poor training. The people at register seem to commonly just swipe one thing multiple times if you have anything remotely similar in your basket instead of ringing up what individual items actually cost. Somehow the mistake never gets made in your favour though. Like you get a huge tub of baba chamois h and a small one of hummus--you'll be charged twice for the big one. Or like today, charged twice for a $5 bottle of juice instead of bothering to ring up my $1.50 bottle bottle of soda. Well, if they're economising on employee training they're certainly not passing the discount onto their customers! It's pricey in there. My real gripe though is that after turning round and coming back into the store and not-fussily explaining the error, there wasnt even a hint of apology or recognition of error, as I was ignored while a manager was summoned and then passed off to be dealt with by someone else. Everyone talking over my head like I was a problem child. Not looking for someone to get on their knees, just a casual "whoops my bad, glad you spotted that" read more

produce all looks great but is poor quality and extremely expensive. the cheese was so poor, fruit has been frozen so roots inside.

Very expensive market. I purchased $67.00 in food and then compared prices on the exact items from Whole Foods. Whole Foods total came out to $45 for same items! Yikes! The Maple Hills milk that I buy costs $6.19 at WF but is $7.99 at Prospect Market. Also, the girls working there were unfriendly, yakking at each other and my cashier called the next customer up before I could load my groceries in my bags and cart. I won't be going back there. read more

Market is fine but they don't appear to be taking appropriate COVID precautions. Too crowded, no cleaning of baskets, etc. have been multiple times and seen it. read more

I have lived here for 40 years plus and I feel very lucky to have this market in WT. The many previous businesses in this location were filthy, disorganized, and haphazardly stocked with cheap store brands. The people who run Prospect Market know whaat they are doing and do it well. Why its great: Clean, organized and easy to shop there with plenty of small carts and baskets, and local delivery. A meat section that is kept beautifully clean and freshly stocked. A great variety of products with many HTF specialty items (a gluten free cracker area, for instance, lots of meat substitutes, and many kinds of milk), gourmet items (such as Ines Rosales tortas, Mascarpone cheese), and lots of snacks. GOOD produce department and baked goods. Milk is cheaper than most other local stores. Lovely helpful patient staff ever willing to get that bottle of water off the high shelf. Could improve: The deli section salads might not be to the taste of this neighborhood. Prices at local stores like this tend to be a little higher than some chain stores, though they do have sales (they often have yogurt on sale). Could use more paper goods but the space there is limited, they have a representative section nonetheless. read more

today I entered this place with my legally registered service dog . I was inside for around 2 /3 minutes when an angry looking man came walking towards me in a threatening way . he asked me if my dog was a service dog and I told him that she was . he said : then I need to see the ID that it is a service dog . I showed him her tag, that she is wearing and it isn't one that you can just buy , it is the tag she received after her long and intense training from the registered association. I was told that wasn't enough , he needed to see a paper or card to proof she is a service dog. I normally have that card with me , but looked into my wallet and saw I forgot it at home . I told him that I forgot the ID but that she is a registered service dog and goes on airplanes with me , and I m sorry that I forgot the ID . The angry man told me I had to leave the store now ! he escorted me to the door . I called a few minutes later cause I was angry that he made me leave , this isn't allowed, he isnt even allowed to ask new for proof but certainly it is against the law to literally kick me out ! my dog behaved in all the time inside properly, she didn't show aggression , barked or any other unwanted behavior, she always walks on my leg , with no tension in the leash , cause she learned how to behave anywhere . she is a trained service animal and I need her . I won't ever buy again , and I will see which legal possibilities I have to go against this kind of discrimination. read more

I like this place and the grocery items it offers considering the small size. Problem is the cramped aisles.

Best customer service of any grocery store ever - even during the pandemic. Also, I love the warm lighting. Great selection, too!

This place is HEAVEN compared to the market that previous existed here. (If you never experienced the previous store, lucky you!) I finally have a place right in the neighborhood where I can buy all of my groceries in one place instead of schlepping heavy bags from Union Market or Key Food. Other pros: low prices, fresh produce, friendly staff, and wide selection with lots of organic, healthier brands. read more

Great selection of organic and specialty foods, as well as essentials at reasonable prices. This is an excellent store for those with allergies or special dietary needs. They often have good markdowns, so I usually shop without a specific list in mind and get whatever is in sale. They have an excellent selection of Bob's Red Mill products and organic canned goods. I have not been impressed with the fruits and vegetables, though. The store is very clean and always feels peaceful and the cashiers are kind. read more

This new market is worth the wait; the old place closed down for a few months and viola! The new Prospect Market opened to my delight. The organic products are competitive in prices and the deli is a great and added addition. Fresh and crisp salad bar and the sandwiches are above average; try the chicken or tuna salad on rustic bread! OMG. They also carry fresh breads, and rolls, and cheese section is really great! I can't believe that this store has a lot for the space it has to fit the stuff in. The staff is very attentive and the place very clean. The fruit section is way better than our local grocer down the street; and prices are somewhat higher, but the fruit is way better, fresher, and just good! read more

Good food selection at the store but incredibly rude employees. I asked one to help me find an item and he told me to look in the spices area. I had just looked there so I politely told him I hadn't seen it there. He literally shouted at me "SPICES" and I repeated that I had just looked there and couldn't find it. He threw down the plastic box he was carrying and stomped over to the spice section and little do you know...my item wasn't there. Incredibly unacceptable behavior....worst customer service I've ever experienced. read more

This market has everything I need. The people are very nice and helpful. They also have great prepared foods!I would definitely recommend this market. read more

This store is clean, well-stocked and staffed by lovely people. I've lived here my whole life and seen countless stores come and go. I'm glad we still have great "mom & pop" markets thriving. read more

Five stars because it's less overpriced and has a way better selection than most grocery stores near my apartment. They have good sales-- some hummus, cheese, snacks, and yogurt brands are usually on sale, and there are usually a few types of vegetables on sale. Staples like lemons/limes, ginger, garlic, onions, baking supplies, and canned beans are decent prices. Overall, my first choice for supermarket when I need something and don't have time to go to Trader Joe's. Their prices aren't amazing, but their sales are good and the location is very convenient for me! read more

I shopped at this grocery store through all it's phases of ownership and renewal in the last 10 to 15 years. This latest version has some of the old benefits and some of the old disadvantages. This store has always had an issue regarding posting accurate prices, or no price posted at all. Products do not carry the price either so it's all guess work until you get to the register. I believe this breaks NYs consumer laws. They have always had some rude staff and some nice staff but at this date in July 2020, except for the cashiers and one staff person, who has been there a long time, the staff is extremely rude. There is this one stock worker, a big and tall man who needs to go. Though they may clean the place at some point , I have yet to see any sanitizing happening and no one seems to care that we are in a pandemic. There is a wide variety of decent products but much has changed to pander to the newbies of the neighborhood and some old favorite foods have disappeared off the shelves one by one. If you need artisanal, gluten free roach spray you can probably find it here. read more

I don't normally write any reviews. I mostly use yelp to help me recommend any good places. But i had enough coming to this place in the afternoon. Every time i come in, i feel like i get treated so bad. All workers are nice and all except for one particular worker. I didn't know her name cause she doesn't even acknowledge me or even tell me "hi how are you" she has an attitude and she doesn't even ask if i want my receipt or "have a nice day". So i finally told her can i have my receipt and finally got her name. This "Anna" women needs to get fired or change her act. It's not fair that customers come in and get treated this way. We just buy our groceries and go. But why make it so awkward and have that bitchy look? If she's miserable working at this market, then its her time to go. I think im just going to start shopping my groceries in the morning so i can avoid her. Overall, i love this market. Clean and decent. Its my go to when i need anything. read more
