My family has been shopping here for as long as I can remember - they're the best place to get Israeli products in NYC and, over a decade after leaving the city, I've yet to find anywhere that comes close. The products are great quality. Prices have increased, but that's true everywhere. The store is small and often crowded, so expect a little bit of chaos, but everyone has always been helpful and kind. The nuts, dried fruit, olives by weight, halva are all excellent and have been for at least the last three decades :) Go and enjoy!

Carmel has been around for so many years and never fails to deliver. I was recommended to go to buy ground coffee beans (they make it on the premises) and I was so surprised. My coffee was delicious. Definitely will be back to buy more of their coffee. Highly recommend!

Owner told me I could not have my dog in the store unless I carried him. I explained that he was a service animal. He said he didn’t care. I said politely that it was the law. He said he didn’t care and that it was his policy. I said that there was no such thing when it came to service animals, it is the federal law and that he would not be in trouble for letting my dog inside if he was a medically necessary service animal. His wife started to take my spice order and salad with a scowl on her face. It came to almost $8 and she told me I had to spend $10 to pay with a card and then quickly started putting everything I ordered away. Super rude owners that don’t follow the law and mistreat people with disabilities. Won’t be coming back.

Exceptionally rude to me because I came in with my service animal who is impeccably trained and quiet. Said he didn't care about the federal law because his policy states that all dogs must be carried regardless of they are pets or service animals. I told him that violates federal law. He said he didn't care. I wonder what he would do if a blind man walked in with a 100 pound Labrador. Would he make the man carry his dog?

Been living within a 2 minute walk for over 15 years. Best roasted coffee and nuts; notably superior. The selection is really cool, with some of the middle eastern name brands and some a bit more rare. The bakery items also great and the bread is good. Jut a great and unique store to visit and always satisfied. And Oh! the staff is great, just normal neighborhood folks who make you feel at home.

We have frequented Carmel for decades. Although we no longer live in the area, we always make it a priority to shop there when we can. The owner and staff make you feel like you are at home and everything is fresh and delicious. Don't miss their home roasted coffee.

Ahh! Carmel, a hidden jem of a store that I do to often and glad it is so close to me. It is unassuming and quiet- no pretentious staff- kind of all done in moderation with good selection and prices and super great coffee and nuts and seeds. Their grocery just has so many odds and ends but all good quality produce. Love this place. I meet people where I work in Brooklyn and the are delighted at the name and say they used to live near and still come by occasionally just to shop there.
