Pricey supermarket. However excellent, wide and high quality selection of food. Awesome fruits, veggies and cheese selection. And good quality meats and fish too.

Love the Sushi, the fresh bread, the desserts and all the fresh produce! Great gourmet place. Yes it can be pricey as some have said, but its not just some average market. So its worth the price for me!

Expensive but during the pandemic - it was the only place stocked with food. and they are a great group of friendly people. and super helpful! the sushi is good and they have a large selection of beers gourmet of course ha! and they sell the ronny brook egg nog in the winter (in the bottle) it tastes like old time egg nog that grandma used to make. but also is like $8 /qt. still good tho. great selection of ice creams and veggie burgers. also they have laundry detergents / soaps / and kitchen misc items. i am posting some great hot fudge sundae that i made today from some vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup that i bought today at union market

Been to this supermarket twice and although it’s clean and organized we were treated like we weren’t wanted in the store as of because we are black we don’t belong in there I swear I felt like someone was following us the whole time . I will never shop here again till everyone is treated the same.

This supermarket looks very organized and clean, but I honestly dont know how fresh their food is. In a year or so that I been a customer there, Ive gotten sick at least 3 times from eating their food from the deli dept. For a while I stopped buying food from the deli to avoid the frustration of getting sick, but I decided to go back and once again it happened... its funny because their refrigerated food looks so fresh, and appetizing, but Im now convinced its not always fresh... it was actually their roasted chicken and kale that made me sick.

Purchased mussels. 50% of them were open and therefore had gone bad. I returned the mussels and picked up some “fresh shrimp, flown in yesterday from the gulf”. It was rancid. The fresh garlic we bought was also moldy. Go to Whole Foods down the street.

This is my first time here and I can say that my first impression of this place is very clean and organized, you can find a great variety of fruits and vegetables as well as restaurants that have varieties of food which I enjoyed very much.

This supermarket is superb. Well stocked with a variety of fresh produce and seafood options. Staff are pleasant and the store is extremely clean. COVID-19 procedures are enforced making this supermarket a safe place to shop. Highly recommend.

I could live and die in the produce section. The beefsteak tomatoes that I purchased on Saturday were a thing of beauty. I caressed them so much that my wife stopped speaking to me until I turned them into a salsa.

Some people say this store is more expensive than Whole Foods. No, a lot of what I buy is actually less expensive. E.g. fresh mozzarella, some other good cheeses and a lot of fresh bread is less expensive than in WF. It depends on what you like.

An upscale market with nice selection of specialty items. The veggie section is well kept and fresh. Good cheese selection and small meat and sea food sections. Some deli and prepared foods and a small bakery section. Store is clean and staff is helpful. A smaller, friendlier Whole Foods type store but also more expensive. I usually split my shopping between here and the Trader Joes on 14th and A.

Love this grocery store! I dont do the majority of my grocery shopping here but I think this place is worth going to if you want a good selection of clean fruits and vegetables.Not everything is crazily overpriced as it may seem. A lot of the items I pick up here are reasonably priced! I love buying the fresh squeezed orange juice, rotisserie chicken, and the produce here. All my other groceries I pick up at KeyFoods just because some items I dont necessarily need to be organic or super healthy. Sometimes I just want to buy a dozen eggs for $1.89 not $6 from union market.Overall, you can find a lot of good deals here and I highly recommend if you live in the area.

Review №25

Expensive, but a lux experience compared to Key Food. Some thing are so marked up here its worth going to a big grocery store instead (condensed milk for example, was twice as expensive as it would be anywhere else).Produce, proteins and cheese is expensive here buy way better than nearby stores. Worth it for that stuff.In short, if you can swing a markup on stuff this is a good place to shop. Feels very COVID friendly, not that crowded and the people who work there are very nice.

This is a really nice and convenient place with a good selection of fresh fruits and veggies and a nice clean meat department. WOW they are expensive though.I will continue to go here on an as needed basis. If their prices were better I’d reconsider.The people that work there are super friendly. I actually enjoy them the most.

Union Market is a reliable spot for unique foodie items at a reasonable price. Today found coconut cream strawberry shortcake popsicles for $3.99 a box, a big stack of fresh corn tortillas for $3.50, and roasted tomato and pepper salsa $5.49.

This grocery always has fresh produce and a pretty good selection given how small it is for a grocery store. A little expensive but worth it if youre in a pinch. They have a great deli with amazing pre-made food. The staff is always friendly with good advice and very knowledgeable. I always enjoy going into this place.

Review №44

Union opened here, planning on hundreds of up-and-coming New Yorkers filing in for groceries before they climb up into their groovy pads nearby. Indeed it appears to have worked. And the rest of the hood is often here, even tourists - this place, with its narrow aisles, can get stopped up at peak times.Fabulous fresh and varied bread daily. Superior selection and quality from many local bakeries.Fresh vegetables. In midwinter this is a real treat. Veggies and fruit expensive unless on special.Good cheese selection.Packaged exotic and local roasted coffee.Fresh fish (and meat) with live butchers!This is by far not all this Union offers (its a pretty complete food store). This is a snapshot of the areas this reviewer likes and has had adequate experience with.

Not only do I shop here, but I work here. Not only is it a very high end place to shop, but all of their products are nothing but the finest. Their prepared foods dept serves a half rotisserie chicken meal with two sides for such a reasonable price that fast food for dinner is obsolete. Theres no better place to get a healthy and quick meal after a long day at work. Not to mention their quality meat, seafood and produce as well as their outstanding assortment of daily baked breads. Definitely Your Neighborhood Source for Fine Foods.

Fresh produce even in winter ... albeit at very high prices, Union Market has a large gourmet selection of fine produce, cheeses, and frozen items. Id shop here more often if the prices arent as high as they are. Also somehow, the limited childrens food they sell, are all items my toddler daughter loves.

I recently found this place because it is not on my usual commute route. But this is a nice market with a lot of fresh vegetable and fruits options. If you like buy ingredients and cook by yourself, you will love this place. I can get everything I need to make lunch sandwiches, dinner rolls, office snacks, to-go nuts, etc.

They have one of the largest cheeses selection that I have ever seen. They have great selection of vegetables and fruits as well. The meat department is smaller than Whole Foods but they still have the main items. Usually there is line at the register but it moves fast. Staff is friendly.

Life saver! This place literally saved my life bc I was experiencing a hypoglycemic reaction and this store had all the essentials. Plus there was a bench outside to relax and regroup. Dont know where Id be without this place or what wouldve happened. Only thing that I wasnt crazy about was priced. Items seemed to be a bit marked up. But I guess its understandable given the highly coveted location. Lastly, staff was extremely courteous and friendly- have to love that aspect.

Review №66

They dont let you try the fish for freshness. I understand if I had no intent on buying anything, but after acknowledging I was going to buy the salmon, I wanted to try the scallops to see if they were worth buying. The man told me no. If you arent willing to sample out your seafood. Thats definitely a warning sign!

3.5 stars.4 Stars for freshness and quality.3 Stars for Price4 Stars for helpfulness of the StaffThere seems to be always samples to try like cheese, crackers, chips, pickles and olives. Every time I try something there I buy it...but thats it! Everything else is expensive.In terms of snacks and small bites, this is a pretty good place to check out. But prices can be high and may possibly make a hole in your pocket. This store represents why New York City is so expensive. But quality and freshness is all here.They try to fill in the neighborhood void of markets, which is now full of restaurants and bars, with simple necessities new yorkers need...but at a high price.

High quality organic food that is reasonably priced - exactly what I was looking for in LES, a happy medium between the random corner markets and whole foods. The produce is fresh and plentiful. They also give you free coffee if you buy a pastry :)

Review №88

The location is great and the quality of the food looks good. They try and sell $2.99 for a hot drink and pastry to draw in the morning crowd. Honestly though, the prices are high compared to whole foods down the street. Plus the way they have their store set up forces you to walk in a zig zag through it, which can be kind of confusing at times. Hope this helps!

I love this (not so) little market. They have a great variety of fresh produce, cheeses, an olive bar and both a butcher and a fish monger. Along with the fresh foods they have a nice pre-cooked home cooking. Today I got roasted beets with candied pistachios and truffle vinegrette and creamed spinach with gruyere cheese. Tip: never go in there hungry. Definitely not the cheapest but nice for a splurge.
