“I thought I lost my wallet, and when I told security every employee was looking for it. It turns out I had left my wallet at home, but I appreciate how thoughtful everyone was. It's good to know that this local supermarket has such nice employees!”
“Awesome experience with Grand & Essex Market!!!!
Best catering ever!!! With Shloimy, you’re on the safe side—excellent food, and unbeatable prices. You get much more than what you pay for.”
“This spot is a GEM of Westchester County. From around 9:30AM-1:00PM (approximately, some days run out faster than others) they offer fresh bento and onigiris in their prepared food fridge section.
Bentos include cooked salmon, mackerel, Japanese-style chili chicken, fried pollack, and sometimes more or less depending on what's available, they range from about $9.50-$14 (a STEAL for a nice big lunch in WC). They also have refrigerated beef bowls, eel bowls, and sometimes other bowls. They also have a small selection of prepared sushi, sashimi, and sushi bowls.
Onigiris vary depending on what's available, but typically they'll have tuna-mayo, spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, eel, kelp, spicy cod roe, and more (sometimes less depending on the day).
Did I mention their store is absolutely pristine? Easy to find everything? Well stocked drink fridge with Japanese sodas/energy drinks/health elixirs? The ladies that run the store and cashier are incredibly kind too!
Limited free parking for the shop, but plenty of White Plains paid parking and some street parking on Mamaroneck (I know ughhh) nearby and yes I see attendants there every so often so watch out y'all.
AND they have a rewards program (ANALOG, THANK GOD) where you get a little pink card and get a stamp for every $10 you spend, once you get 100 stamps you get $20 OFF your purchase. Definitely a rite of passage to complete one of the cards, but it'll be easy to do once you get hooked.
Literally cannot say enough about this spot, check my reviews-- this is probably the longest!”

“I have to put a review. I was looking for a place for a turkey last minute I called this place. Spoke with Tanji and she fit me in the last minute. I ordered a whole coked turkey for today to pick it up. She was so professional and kind. Spoke with her few times back and forth about ingredients due to allergies. Picked the turkey and I can say that it was the best turkey I ever had and all the guests were so happy. I will never cooked another turkey because there is no way I can cook like them. Thank You all to you and the best chef!”
“Wedge like sandwich that was pretty good. Ordered the sausage egg and cheese. Small store front with limited parking in front. They charge a fee for using credit card.”
“Today I came into the store, it was perfectly stocked with everything I needed. I wanted to give a shutout to one of the women running the cash register today. Makkedah was amazing, she was very friendly and we had a wonderful conversation. She realized I had a long day and offered to bag up my groceries even after I offered to do so to help her out, which I appreciated a great deal. She noticed one of my apples was of the wrong type that I wanted and helped me find the proper apples. The staff always are wonderful at this store but I wanted to write today because she truly made my day better and deserves recognition. Thank you Makkedah and thank you to the whole staff for everything that you do, it does not go unnoticed!”
“If u miss little treats from grece, turkie or Albania, like the name mediterrranean stuff, u can find everything here, the staff is very friendly and kind, ready to help u to find the things u need.”
“Garden Gourmet really is an oasis in this neck of the Kingsbridge-Riverdale woods. The quality is uniformly high, with a few exceptions, and the prices are decent. More expensive than, say, Stop & Shop across the street, but overall a vastly superior store. Produce selection is abundant, with plenty of organic options. You can tell the store has a buyer who cares about quality. Again, with exceptions. They occasionally sell Sunset brand products, like tomatoes, which are not good. They should do better quality control on tomatoes. Also, there are many bagged veggies, like spinach and salads, which can contain spoilage and are best avoided. I wish they would eliminate these, but I guess people like them because the veggies are pre-washed. But there are plenty of fresh alternatives to these. The meat and chicken section also is good quality, but can be pricey, except they have an excellent deal on Bell & Evans chickens, which are top-notch. (They also offer cheap mass-produced Perdue chickens which are tasteless, but can be avoided.) The butchered meat selection is not huge, more select, but good quality and reasonably priced. However, if you're going for processed packaged meats, like sausages and other deli cuts, they have tons of high-quality imports, along with quality sliced ham, turkey, and other cold cuts that they package themselves. Their fresh fish selection is small, but good quality and not cheap. Smoked fish, though? Huge selection. Then there's the cheese -- a superb curated spread that's massive considering the size of the store, with many great prices. One picayune exception: their house-made fresh mozzarella is bland. Luckily they have other brands. Garden Gourmet obviously prides itself on their house-made products, including bean salads, olives, slaw, potato salads, etc. -- and these are uniformly good. They also offer a TON of prepared cooked food for take-home meals, but I never buy that stuff because I cook for myself. It sure looks and smells good though. The GG has a HUGE selection of locally sourced bread off all types that blows away any supermarket. Also a nice pick of cakes and pies and other baked goods that are either house made or locally sourced. One other criticism of GG: Their coffee beans are inferior. I wish they'd get a new supplier for these. Othewise there is SO MUCH more I could say about this store -- like discuss their IMMENSE selection of products imported from mainly Eastern European countries -- but I've blabbed on enough. If the Garden Gourmet ever closed down I'd be shattered.”
“10/10 highly recommend!! Daniel was such a blessing for me last night!!! Talk about theee best customer service on one of the busiest weekends! He went above and beyond and I am always met with that customer service at all TJs. They are the best! They get it! I love it here! Thank you Daniel & team!”
“Deli is absolutely great ..the guys there are so good and so friendly i only go there to buy my Gauda cheese not only its delicious but so much cheaper then shoprite!! Definitely recommend it”
“Absolutely love this store! The unique selection of products and the friendly staff make every visit a delightful experience. From tasty snacks to fresh produce, there’s always something new to discover!”
“I love shopping here for certain types of food. I love that they give the option to get your grains, rice, flour and other things by the pound. It is cheaper and you take what you need and have it weighed. I appreciate the courtesy of the security guard and supervisor/owner who is attentive and usually helpful. They sometimes run out of the snacks I need for my baby and i get disappointed because they have the best prices for the caribbean snacks. I look for ward to shopping here.”
“The crab cakes are the best!!!!! Juices are wonderful!!!!
Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free choices
Kid-friendliness: Wonderful supermarket too.”
“This efficiently managed supermarket provides everything you need, from standard grocery items to a variety of vegan choices and a selection of Asian products. Plus, there's a cozy eatery where you can place an order and enjoy your meal on-site.”

“Best grocery store, super helpful employees, even at its busiest I’ve never waited more than a minute to check out. Best produce around. Great deli counter, awesome sandwiches. Worth the hype”
“As someone who comes in contact with 100s of patrons daily; I understand what it is like to see "burnout." "Burnout" is not something I see here from the Customer Service Representatives.What I see is kindness and knowledge of products.Continued success.”
“After taking my kids in their 20's to Ireland for the first time this year, I thought it would be a great surprise to assemble them an Irish breakfast box for Christmas. I finally settled on ordering Irish breakfast sausages, rashers, and black pudding from this shop based on their story and the reviews. We were not disappointed! The meats are fantastic. Now we are thinking we need to plan a trip to New York to check out the store in person, and load up on more meat. Thank you for the excellent service and products. We will definitely be buying more!”

“Shoprite in Elmsford is a very nice store. It's very clean, the shelves are stocked well and the staff is friendly. The produce is fresh and there is a big variety. There's plenty of parking and wheelchair accessible. If you haven't already shopped here I suggest you do try it.”
“Food town is awesome but pricy..
.as most groceries stores are these days but overall they have everything I need and always have my favorite almond milk that is generally extra creamy as stated on the label . Service is good too they always take care of us and honor their prices of something is in the wrong section or label is wrong they fix it so that's great.”
“Favorite place since I was a child. Brought my kids here for decades, even though we had to drive 1.5 hrs to get there. I went to place an order recently and it said they weren’t taking any on their site. I hope all is well in one of the best places I have ever been in to shop”
“The gentlemen who work and manage this store have been wonderful neighbors for the past 30 years. They maintain a clean, consistent and community minded business. Their stock is always fresh and they will create your breakfast sandwich exactly the way you like it every time.”
“First time being in an African grocery store. I found what I needed. The owners were friendly and helped me find what I was looking for. I'll come back again.”
“Best food in all White Plains! The staff from the owner to the food preparation crew are AMAZING, everything is super clean, fresh, and delicious.Wide selection of meals for events, everyone will love it.The fruit jelly dessert is out of this world!!!!”
“I will walk an extra 10 blocks just for cleanness, employees are nice, a young lady who worked there for a while was very nice to my aunt using her card, she was nice to her co-worker as well, by helping him and encouraging him. Saying he is farly new so he wouldn't know how to process the card and came right over to help. I will now go to this foodtown preferably the other 2 supermarkets near by. I appreciate it. Thanks.”
“Came in just for a few ingredients for a pastry I was planning to make and to try their shawarma—ended up getting 5 to take home for friends to try, along with lots of fun ingredients I can’t wait to use!!!
The chicken shawarma may be the best thing I’ve tried in Yonkers since I moved here! Hummus delicious as well.
Owner was very nice, friendly and helpful, and had great suggestions!
The Warbat was INCREDIBLE!!!!
I will be back :)”
“I love this supermarket. You can get in and out of the store in a flash, it is clean, very well stocked especially for a small store and the staff is great. My only complaint is that the produce can be underwhelming. I see so many of the reviews compare Country Market to Stop and Shop down the road. While you might be able to get food cheaper at Stop and Shop, Stop and Shop is often understocked, the staff is discourteous and getting in and out of the lot is bad.”
“Highly recommend... very polite and nice ppl running this business... The meat was good quality and was cleaned properly.... they double make sure to satisfy your custom request, InshaAllah will go there again...”
“Graziella's is amazing!!! Such a nice vibe from the staff and the whole place. They have such a great selection too!!!! The semolina bread is so yummy and the coffee bar is such a nice touch!”
“The market offers discount fresh seafood and high quality beef. The market has free parking space and staff are friendly. They also offer free ice for food preservation. The deli has good varieties and is high quality. Glad to become their frequent customer.”
“Best organic store that carries everything for your needs. They recently started carrying VegOut skincare plant-based products! Dwight and his dog will be there to help you out!”
