Maintenance in the store is lacked, even the glass in store front door was cracked.

Vinyl tiles in pieces like a jigsaw on the floor and old ugly stickers glued to the exterior door, make the place appear run down to the core, need I say more.

Lotto numbers were on display with a really big screen, the man behind the counter seemed friendly and not mean.

Service was quick with fair prices and this is what really matters, irrespective if the store itself was in ruins and in tatters.

Steel and vines creating some shade, man and mother nature working together is how it’s made.

Six steel columns intertwined with wood, then a ceiling full of leaves acting like a hood.

Plenty of benches on the perimeter to sit, but be warned trying them means you will be here for a bit.

You can bring food to feed the birds like some bread, and sit comfortably shaded until every last pigeon has been fully fed.

Both ladies in the bakery department are dismissive and rude, while the staff in the meat department are helpful and happy to be there.

The store features bright colors with wide isles with the majority of the shopping carts appear to be in newer condition. This market recently underwent an expansion renovation gaining status as the largest supermarket within a mile or two radius.

They offer valet parking across the street that always tends to have plenty of parking.

Offering a wide variety of freshly baked cookies, pastries and bread.

My favorite is their cheesecake, but it must be consumed within a day or two of preparation as it ages quickly. Chocolate lovers will be disappointed as their brownies are good but often sold beyond their expiration point and their eclairs are not chocolatey enough.

For holidays they usually have free samples by the cash register which I always find hard to resist.

They use quality ingredients which is reflected in their pricing and are one of the best bakeries in Bay Ridge for non-chocolate items.

Higher end supermarket with a huge parking lot located across the street with plenty of parking always available.

They have a nice selection of coffee, beer and cheese including homemade mozzarella. Their products are slightly pricey but of good quality. Their store wasn’t dirty but the produce section floor needed sweeping.

The entire store was a bit too dimly lit and the layout was slightly confusing, i.e. Teriyaki was located in 2 different locations, aisle 1 & 3 with both containers labeled “marinade & sauce”.

Overall one of the best supermarket in Bay Ridge.
