CTown Supermarkets - Turkey and feta from two different stores out of thousands in New York City

After going there for years since it is convenient, the miserable deli man refused to change an order HE got wrong, accused me of getting it wrong and always returning things, and a first-time manager, probably the youngest son of the owner, believed him and told me not to return. I have returned, but the deli manager, a tall man who is not nice to me, told the deli guy not to give me feta. Guess what? I bought it somewhere else because there are many later, better markets. Choosing to believe a relatively new worker and having an inexperienced manager and other horrible relatively new manager considering when I and older family members started shopping there, de ades ago, is gross customer service and very uneducated. Guess what? I have what I need from several places. It may be incredible to believe, but I found turkey and feta elsewhere. Later in the week, when I am in Astoria, I can find a variety of feta in several stores like Meditteranean Foods, Titan, or Euro Market, and I don't even eat it often. Also: Years ago, a manager I have known for a long time refused to give me a refund on an item that was past due, but an older owner's son did.

A standard market that is a few minute walk away from family that I was visiting. I had some…read moredowntime and didn't want to be cooper up so I walked around a bit and found this place and decided to pop in to see what it was all about and I am glad I did. The negative portion will be said first that was I can get it out of the way and talk about the good. The produce here, from what I was looking around at, is not the best. Many of the fruits and vegetables that I picked up had little bruises or brown spots on them, even if they were very miniscule, they still were spotted. The positivity of this review all falls on the staff and the rest of the place in general. The staff that I interacted with while I was here was very friendly and even one of them went into the back part of the store to help and see if they could find a couple extra cans of the item I needed. He returned with a smile on his face and a few of the product in his hand for me. The prices are also really nice here and I will be back to this market again next time I am visiting family in the area!

I've lived in 4 out of the 5 boroughs my whole life. This is truly a Queens staple, but you have to…read morepay attention to what's on sale. Some things may be more expensive than another place, which is why you need to diversify where you shop. Their pre-cut (which is a life saver for busy parents) produce and fruit is extremely cheap and high quality, they constantly have sales weekly on meat and Boars Head cold cuts, even snacks for the kids.. not sure how much more you can really ask from a small local neighborhood market.. even if you want paper towels or garbage bags in a time crunch, they have their own store brand.. Lots of name brand cat/dog food low price sales and detergents.. no complaints and will miss here when I don't live nearby anymore!

I don't usually review supermarkets, but my 1st experience ordering groceries from here via…read moreUbereats recently wasn't a good one unfortunately. I placed a small order for provisions (Yuca, plantain, sweet potatoes, organic pumpkin and Organic corn on the cob) to make my homemade caribbean style chicken soup. Sadly none of the organic items were available and needed to be replaced with non-organic items. The produce was fresh however, which is why I gave 2 stars. The major disappointment was the fact that I also ordered 5 cases of 24/ 0.5 liters of water and at least 5 bottles from each case had a weird chemical plastic like taste. The smell was quite rancid upon opening each bottle and the taste was even worse. I had to request a refund and throw them out. They also were NOT expired, so I'm baffled as to why they smelled and tasted so awful. Ended up having to place an order with Amazon Fresh to replace them. I normally order my groceries from Fresh, should've just done that from the jump! I probably won't be ordering from here again. If I do, I definitely won't be getting water!!

This Caribbean-centric market is compact but well-stocked and neatly organized, although if an item eludes you, ask as it may be just a few steps away. The store shares two adjacent storefronts. Great source for produce at good prices. Besides readily available items, there are many common island ingredients: okra, peppers (Scotch bonnets, sweet, pimento), dasheen bush, callaloo leaf, and thyme. Groceries include many varieties of grains, salted fish (dry and wet in bag), sauces and seasonings, spices, snacks, and canned and jarred goods, and among them, plentiful Caribbean imports. Pig's tail and salted beef too! The fruits and vegetables are great to buy. Besides produce, I've also purchased canned ackee, dried sorrel petals, Crix crackers (multiple types), Golden Ray margarine, salted fish, salted beef, browning sauce, curry powder, and a myriad of other spices and seasonings. A great grocer for Caribbean cooking basics. Service is efficient and friendly. Conveniently located in the commercial area just outside the Sutphin E line station.

They get very busy. Other than having a hard time finding a parking spot, this place is great…read more Next time, I'll take the subway. They know their inventory and I was able to quickly get what I was looking for and leave.
