Great news….terrific addition to Greenpoint.
I wish you all the luck in the world. I missed the old Garden. One suggestion. With Covid and general cleanliness the self service coffee and tea station is not a good idea imo. They had one in the 7/11 that closed and I saw people sticking their finger up the spout to try and get coffee and other not clean things.
This is great. I popped in there yesterday and it looks much nicer than the other grocer that occupied the space right after the Garden closed. I also was happy to see they have a full meat section which was somewhat lacking at the Garden.
Sure is nice to have an alternative to C-Town in this part of the neighborhood.
This is a wonderful store. The help is extremely helpful. One suggestion more store prepared hot foots and perhaps a larger selection of pasteries.
Also perhaps a small selection of good REAL. BAGALS…no the supermarket kind.
The store has discontinued the sale of store prepared hot foods.
More pastries should be sold. Some delivery would be welcome.
