Key Food

Not a bad place to food shop, great manager, pretty good gourmet food too. but SOME cashiers are such airheads with attitudes! I never do this but seriously annoyed & fed up with this one particular female cashier, this brunette named Dominique, such an idiot! If you see her (usually she wears a high bun & a lot of makeup for her age) AVOID HER at all costs! She messes up a lot, she has a «puss face», tends to give the wrong change at times & isn’t even apologetic about it! Unfortunately, the time l go (after work) she happens to be one of the few on the registers. I don’t know why she is behind one or even manages to tie her own shoes.

I like this place, easy parking is a big plus.
I like this better than the now closed Wauldbaums.
The prices are very fair.

I would not come here if PathMark didn’t close out. This market’s meet is not fresh and product is limited. I brought a beef steak on Monday, and when I opened up on Wednesday, the beef steak became black. And the sticker says sell by FRIDAY. I stored and frozen the steak all time on the top level of the refrigerator. So I have to throw it away now. If you don’t want to waste money and get sick, go somewhere else if possible.

I don’t usually write reviews for chain stores/​places but I feel the need to because this place is the only place I go for food shopping.
They have an amazing deli selection, which is super important for me. They always have deals and sales at the deli, too. Their rolls are good as well — I like the poppyseed potato rolls best.
No bakery, which sucks… And their toiletries are very, very minimum.
Produce is decent — just the basics. I got a rotten avocado from here before… but I understand it happens.
The manager is really nice. When we moved to the neighborhood, he came up to us and introduced himself. He said if we need a specific product, tell him and he will order it. Really good first impression.
Look, this place isn’t the best grocery store in the world or even the best Key Foods… but it’s good. I’ve never gotten sick or spent over $ 80 in a week here. You can save money and get your basics.

This Key Food location underwent some renovations a couple of years back so it’s not the stank hole that it used to be (or that C-​Town on 18^th Ave still is). It’s right in the neighborhood and Lord knows Whole Foods/​Fairway/​Trader Joe’s will likely never make their way deep into these parts of Brooklyn, so it will suffice. Though the sales aren’t as good as Pathmark’s, it’s a good place to get ice cream (there’s usually some sort of sale), bread, and deli counter needs like cold cuts and antipasti. For produce, I’d recommend getting them at any of the Chinese-​owned grocery stores nearby.
Also, like the reviews already mentioned, the staff is pretty miserable, which only encourages me to be over-​the-​top nice. This only serves to make me look insane as they aren’t even making eye contact with me. That’s ok, because I’m the one going home with a tub of Edy’s and pound of honey ham.

This store would get less than 1 star if possible. It is convenient to my home, so for small items I didn’t mind shopping here. In the past few weeks I have seen roaches on the shelves and a mouse run into the back room. Disgusting!!! If you value your health, find another store.

This place is convenient. Kind of cramped. Tiny parking lot. Prices are good they sometimes have sales that others don’t so you mix and match where you shop and for what.
The one thing that annoys the hell out of me about this place is the Cashiers, they do not look you in the face, they don’t even say anything to you. They total your items and tell you the price then hand you the change. Not saying I want to have full conversations with these kids but «Hello» & «Thank You» the common phrases you should say when you’re a cashier.
Also all the teenagers who work in there really stare you down. I was looking for an item and afraid to ask for it simply because I was being stared as if it was judgement day.
Decent place, but doesn’t compare to the other supermarkets in the area.

This Keyfood is basically the only supermarket I go to. It is right around the corner from my house, and always has a good sale. You can find Edy’s ice cream at a ‘Buy One Get One Free’ price, as well as fruit that are 2 boxes for $ 4 ! The service is pretty good, and the management is always willing to help. Their selection is decent and their staff is nice. I remember, during a visit not too long ago, I accidentally knocked over a good 10 cereal boxes off the shelves (because I’m incredibly clumsy) and the employee that witnessed it wasn’t at all irritated or unwilling to help. He nicely told me that it wasn’t a big deal and helped me pick them all up! I’ve made friends with the cashiers and will not stop coming.
The only downside to this establishment is the rude security. I came a few times with a stroller and had to ask the security guard if he could open the gate for me. The first few times he opened it indifferently, however, the next few times he was rude and unwilling. At one point he implied that I shouldn’t show up with a stroller at at all (which isn’t possible if you’re a single parent), and at another point ignored my request for the gate and let me find my own way to carry the thing over it !!

the parking area is not big. There are two recycling stations and their ice cream deals are the best. 3 pints of haagen dazs ice cream for only $ 7!

For some reason my Mom loves this Key Food. I personally don’t get it. They have a limited selection, it is in major need of a renovation, they close really early and their prices are higher than everyone elses. I’m sorry sometimes Mom’s don’t know everything. And when it comes to this place my mom is dead wrong.
