Nice neighborhood spot for organic foods and health foods. Sometimes it is overpriced, but it is conveniently located, clean, they have a great variety, and the staff are nice.

I love this place!
I love the variety of organic and healthy foods that they carry. It has a lot of pluses.
— they have amazing fresh bread each day and a great selection
— they have hot lunch during the day and the menu is always online to check before you go.
— The deli makes some of the best sandwiches– whatever you want they make it for you. They are delicious. My favorite is the organic pepper jack with avocado, lettuce, alfalfa, and tomatoes. must have!
They also carry different selections of the juices which is a huge please and the prices are the same.
Great place!

I get the feeling that this store is not run by people who are committed to organic food (out of conviction) but because the neighborhood has changed and they can make a buck. It’s Polish owned. Today I saw some peanut butter there — normally retails for $ 7.50…on sale for $ 3.00. What a deal! Today is October 11th, 2015. Ready to buy 2 jars I look on the back to find… surprise it expires in November 2015… in 20 days. They didn’t disclose this on the sign — I actually pulled a pen out of my purse and wrote it on the sign out of spite. Another ‘deal’ were some chips on sale for $ 2.99…normally retailing for about $ 4.50. These had an expiration date of December 2015… about two months from now.
Proceed with caution.

I shop here daily and usually check my produce. But this time I bought corn in husks thinking that in the height of corn season surely there’d be no issue. Well four of the six ears contained only half decent kernels. Plus two ears contained rotten caterpillars! Last week I saw a box full of cantaloupes with rotting holes in them! This is unacceptable given the high prices they charge for produce. They’ll be loosing business to Trader Joes and Wholefoods in W’burg in no time unless they pick up their act.

Good gracery store, but they lose major points for saying they open at 7:30am when they actually open much later. Why do they have to lie about their hours and waste my time?

I try to avoid this place if I can anymore. They have decent products and their deli food is good enough even though they should should change it up a bit and use better quality products especially in their soups (not Knor packets). The problem is the RUDENESS!!! The older woman who works at the register should not be dealing with the public. She is arrogant and snide. You know who she is. And, some of the other gals at the registers could care less about being there because they are methodically SLOW! The guys in the back who make the sandwiches are great though –always kind.

After 10 years living in Greenpoint and frequenting this place probably weekly, I am no longer going to shop here. I am a person who buys organic whenever possible and so I’d say I am definitely their «target customer» but I am so sick of putting up with their terrible customer service and I refuse to do it any longer. Actually the nicest people here are the guys who are stocking the produce shelves. Everyone else– cashiers, coffee/​dry goods guy, bakery ladies are rude — even the owners can’t be bothered to greet you with a smile. C’mon, really? You’ve seen me shop in your store for 10 years and you can’t even say hello? Really? I would actually rather buy from the limited organic supply at Keyfood because the people are just plain NICE and go out of their way for you if you ask for or need something. So that’s my two cents. I’m bummed because it was convenient for me but I’m just done!

The only bad sides are high prices and sometimes long lines.
However, there are many many pluses. You have to use this place as a source for specialty or deli items, not for all of your grocery shopping — for that it is too expensive.
But as per specialty items — the bakery is the best, it has so many types of fresh homemade bread, they can slice it for you and put cream cheese/​butter on things and they also make espresso/​cappuccinos.
The deli is also great, their selections of cheeses you’ve never heard of is AWESOME. Their salads are also fresh and taste good. I also love the cheese/​tomato/​wholegrain sandwiches they sometimes have pre-​made near the registers. Doesn’t sound interesting, but believe me, the flavors of whatever bread/​cheese they use are the best!
I definitely recommend The Garden for sandwiches, cheeses, bread/​bakery, and deli items. I wouldn’t recommend going here for your grocery shopping though, or you’re going to be spending a lot of money.

This is a great neighborhood market! Excellent selection of bulk goods and good produce, and an extensive sardine selection. It’s worth it to go early — the check out lines can get really long during busy times. I highly recommend the Swiss Health Loaf.

I’ve been shopping here for over a decade. I usually buy prepared food and coffee beans. Lately I can’t seem to get a decent grind. It’s always the short Latin dude who can’t get it right and seems to have a big ego about his grinding prowess. I love my morning cappuccino at home. I’ve been really respectful to him about what I need many times. So either he has it out for me or is a moron. I’d like to support the store, but I keep starting my day irritated by my incorrect coffee grind.

Great food. Employees are friendly and efficient. Love coming here for quick lunch. The hot food from the deli section is delicious and the price is a bargain. Unique and interesting products on the shelves as well, e.g. Organic, probiotic, etc. The pastries look amazing but I have to wait until cheat day :-)

Pricey place for organic groceries but the bagels are great! And they will slice their fresh loaves of bread (half loaf).

OK for a few items needed immediately, but too pricy to be a regular shopping source.
This place has quality grocery items, decent produce and inflated prices. The staff are not very friendly. The store itself is small and crowded like most city food markets. I would go there if I’m in need of a few ingredients for a dish I need to make that day, but otherwise I would shop elsewhere simply for the practicality of price.

Vegetarian options, vegan options, and organic options. I could not ask for anything else. This place has everything I need, even when the book The Kind life asks for the most weird ingredients. I can’t wait for the newest edition to be done!

Love this place for the selection. I walk away with something different each time, and it’s all delicious. I just recently bought a pound of hazelnut coffee from there that they ground for me and I can’t wait to try it in my French press.

This place is a scam, DON’T GO THERE!
They already scammed me twice.
Today I wanted to buy a mozzarella, the sign said $ 9.99 /​lb, the packaging wrote 250g (0.55 pound), but when I get to the cashier the price of the mozzarella is $ 9.99! I complain, they put the mozzarella on the scale in front of it and it reads 1.1lb! So it means that also the scales are fixed to add weight to your products!!!
Don’t go there!!!

I have been shopping here for about 5 – 6 years, it used to be good but pricey.
Now, its become impossibly expensive ($ 11/​lb for organic ground beef and $ 10 for organic Applegate bacon is terribly expensive even compared to Wholefoods – I cant help feel ripped off) and their cashiers are probably the grumpiest people in Greenpoint!

Agree with most reviews that mention the «pricey, cramped» nature. It’s a good place to get quality dairy, charcuterie, & weekend brunch supplies etc.
We order catering from them every now and then. They do a quality tray of pork, chicken, mashed potatoes, grilled veggies, house salad, and a nice sampling of tarts. It’s pretty solid comfort food, with a slightly Polish skew, like many of the people that work there!
It looks like an Irish bar from the outside when it’s closed.

I was a huge fan of this place when I first went about 3 years ago and had an amazing deli sandwich. I was excited about the amount of special vegetarian, vegan, and organic groceries they seemed to have, and it seemed way better than the lousy Met Foods on my side of the ‘hood. However, the prices were already high and they seemed to have gone up even more in the past year or so. Every time I come in here to buy something I end up walking out with nothing because everything is so overpriced.
The sandwiches are hearty and really good, though, so it remains a decent place to grab lunch in the area.

The Garden offers a wide variety of organic & healthy foods. The bakery department has a great selection of breads– all of which are delivered fresh daily. As far as the cashiers go and the girls behind the counters… I was one of them roughly six years ago. It was my first job that I ran to after highschool & usually busted my butt on a daily basis… and for many of these girls, it is the same story. So… being as I worked there & dealed with all aspects of the job, I’m not trying to justify their «rudeness»…rather I guess I see it from the other side of the spectrum. So imagine yourself when you were about their age & cut them some slack.
Anyway, the Garden is actually very clean and gets orders in all the time. As far as management, Mariusz & John do a great job in running the place…& majority of the managers do as well. Support local business
