This past Friday I bought salmon here. I was awake all night with 4 bouts of diarrhea from eating it. Worse, the person with whom I shared the salmon dinner had to drive to Rhode Island the next morning and he had to stop twice beside the road on I-84 to soil the highway with this horrendous past its prime salmon.Not a pretty sight for motorists driving by who were busy screaming at him.Thank god he had the NY Post with him, about the only time that worthless rag was good for anything. So avoid their salmon unless having dysentery appeals to you.

This local grocery store has all the things I like. And they also give a fantastic price for each piece. Im only going to shop here for my personal and essential needs.

I live next door and Ive tried my hardest to support this place... $10 for a bag of lemons is an absolute joke. Organic lemons 5 mins away at Trader Joes are 5 times cheaper at $1.99 a bag.

Bitten something crunchy in my chicken caprese and felt weirdest strong taste. When I spit it out I discovered nicely cooked stink bug. Photos are attached.

A bit pricey, but everything in this neighborhood is. Good options for lunch. I usually come for the soup. Lot of variety and they keep them stocked.

This place is awesome. Choices for everyone.I was just in NY for a business trip and I had just a few minutes most work week days to grab some lunch. This place was perfect for that.

Great soups, really good salad bar and the meal deal at the deli case is a great value for the area. Have a decent grocery section but the hot/prepared food is definitely what keeps me coming back.

One of few only places around here for lunch. Food is really okay for the price-not bad but not great for SoHo price.

Great health store thats been there since 1993. Delicious, fresh, healthy prepared food and groceries, and free delivery! Just more expensive than a Whole Foods or Trader Joes so be prepared for that. The staff is friendly just wait for the green light before you insert your debit/credit/EBT card or youll break the machine. And avoid coming at lunch time because thats when most of the people come.

Good source of specialty items. Still have limited butcher services. Closer to our loft than Whole Foods and a few luxury goods not available at Trader Joes.

I am seriously addicted to this Tomato Cheddar soup that they make. Lately, they have not had it and I have been soooo disappointed each time. Thats how good I find this soup.Today, I asked one of the employees who was replenishing the soup bar if the Tomato Cheddar would be making an appearance any time soon. He said he thought he might have some downstairs. This kind man, who turned out to be Chef Andre, went out of his way to go and get the soup for me!!! That was definitely a random act of kindness and it absolutely made my day. Yes, its just soup and it made me happy but moreover its that this man would go out of his way to do that for a total stranger. That is what I call Customer Service!I will include Chef Andre in my prayers of gratitude.That being said, the other food stuffs that Gourmet Garage offers is good so I would recommend the store for that too.

18 different olive oil, 1 peanut oil. No vegetable oil. It’s clear the store only carries what it can overcharge. It’s the grocery store of last resort.

Review №21

At one point when I lived in the village this was the place to go to to buy fresh and unique ingredients at reasonable prices. Now the landscape has changed and this place is no longer as unique as it used to be. Its also lacking a bit in the customer service area.

I love the selection and the quality, but its pretty expensive. Then again, its a grocery store on Broome street. Good variety of (presumably) fresh soups.

This is a great place to get a good meal to go. Their sushi bar is superb. They have a good selection of vegetarian and vegan meals as well.

Best place in SOHO to pick groceries, have coffee, and pick up delicious cold and warm sandwiches. Must try: Eggplant Mozzarella Sandwich

Review №27

This is a small upscale grocery that is very carefully curated. They might not have what you need, but theyll definitely have something that you want, from the fresh-made salads and sandwiches to the shelves of snacks and munchies to the unusual frozen and refrigerated items.

Review №28

Very fresh mozzarella cheese! The tomato and mozarella cheese sandwich is a must try. This is also a grocery store with a wide variety of food.

Review №29

This place is expensive AF!! Its almost as bad as Dean & DeLuca. HA! Just be warned. Get ready to spend an arm and a leg. However they have a bunch of organic and natural foods, if youre into it. You might find something you like. Its open kinda late.

Ive only been here a few times, but I love it here. They have a wide variety of quality goods, which is perfect for me when grabbing lunch during a busy work week. My coworkers and I go here often - check them out!

Review №34

Closed 20 minutes before closing. Id understand if it was a sit down restaurant, but it only takes 5 minutes to buy something. Waste of time and energy.

Pa
Review №35

The place is filthy - look up at the ceiling - the pipes, pictures, light fittings are CAKED in filth... revolting in a food store. I hate their addiction to plastic containers, and waste in general. The prices are ridiculous, and quality just isnt there to justify it. Shop like a chef. I dont think so. Look at the miserly salmon thats hideously presented in more wasteful packaging. The fresh section is really disappointing and poorly maintained. Full of tired produce that should no longer be on sale.

I seen Jake Gyllenhaal here looking like a scrub. So it made me feel pretty good about myself knowing that I too shop at a place he does.

Review №37

Good lunch spot in Soho with sushi, sandwiches, a salad bar and hot food options as well. It is also a full grocery store with basic needs and a quality looking butcher. Sadly like everything else in this neighborhood it is a bit expensive.

Selling a good variety of products in a somewhat cramped sure. A useful place to pick up dinner ingredients. They also have prepared foods.

Great rotating variety of quality hot soups for a quick, filling, affordable lunch (try the chili!) and lots of unique never-seen-elsewhere snacks & bottled drinks

Great selection and quality but everything is way overpriced/oddly priced. A 4 oz chicken Cesar bites cost 4.99 but the full 12 oz wrap bites cost 6.49?? Does that make any sense?

Me
Review №44

I work around the area and stop by here sometimes to grab food. I came here to buy a taco and had to return it because the paper was stuck to the taco, I switched it out for another one and it was the same issue. The cashier who was a male seemed irritated when I complained about it!! Why would I pay almost 4$ for a taco and want to eat it with paper superglued to it!! Because of him I will never return and spend a dollar of my money here.

Review №45

The shelves are a bit bare but if youre in the neighborhood and needy you can do worse. I think primarily this place is geared for gourmets who live in the neighborhood, or people wandering by who want to piece together a healthy picnic. Quality is great, and prices are New York average.

Good quality products. Unique and novel at a somewhat premium price but not as bad as other gourmet specialty food stores.

Review №47

The best soups, ranging from hearty ones to vegan options! Also decent sushi bar and hot foods to go. My favorite item they sell is a twizzler-looking fruit twist, no other store besides GG sells them in the city. Cherry is addictive!

I always liked the variety of products at gourmet garage and in general like this store- but two days ago had some TERRIBLE food poisoning from a chicken salad wrap sandwich ( it was the only thing i ate and i ate it the day of purchase).. could have been the mayo.. be careful. it took me two days to recover.
