Food Universe Marketplace

Since undergoing management changes and renovations, the service here has dramatically improved. While the clean and organized appearance makes it much more appealing, the courteous employees and management, as well as a wider variety of foods, make me enjoy shopping here. The installation of self checkout changed the game. Lines move smoothly and you can be in and out fairly quickly. I love the selection of gourmet and international foods and unlike before, most everything is fresh!

The one thing I don't like is how a particular manager watches like a hawk when I use self checkout, especially since I'm a regular customer. He's a little older, so I chalked it up to age and doing his job to deter stealing, but no customer should feel surveilled. I'd like to think that it's not because I'm black, but I haven't seen him do it to white customers.

My favorite spot is the deli. The young guys who work the counter always greet me with pleasant words and a smile and they are skilled in slicing the meat to your liking. The older gurs who fill in occasionally, are kind, but their cuts aren't even.

I'm really happy with the improvement of this store and hope that they continue to listen to their customers for even more growth and longevity.

I needed help finding cider vinegar. Caesar help walk with me to show me the correct aisle to find my item thank you Caesar.

This place is huge! A big supply of everything. The help is very friendly and goes all the way out to help you with any questions. I used to shop at C-Town for more than 20 years and just a couple of months ago I decided to try this supermarket, I fell in love with the service, but most of all, the prices are lower than C-Town! I will never go back to C-Town, I will stay with this supermarket for as long as I live!!!

Hi from Europe. I go to the local food market every time I'm in New York. I'm happy. Nice staff and great selection of goods 😉👌🏼

Surprisingly wide variety of stuff, ranging from everything your abuelita needs for her tamales to high quality European sweets. Oh and they play Jenga with their soda boxes.

Regular but wel stocked Keyfood place with some special extras. It's amazing how much difference the checkout experience makes. For years I've complained about the slow checkout and Express counters that didn't work as Express. Lately all that has changed. The checkout has got way better as has the experience of shopping here. Good to have a friendly local place and self checkout counters with friendly staff to assist and keep them moving fast.

I love this super market! Has a large variety of food! Employees are sweet and has fresh produce! I love the large variety of Hispanic food and spices considering that I’m Hispanic and it’s hard finding certain things. Service is quick! I recommend this place for a shopper who would like to go to a large supermarket!

Great selection of vegetables and other food products. Competitive price and awesome customer service. Thank you!

Love how you can find just about anything you need to prepare your favorite dishes! The international isle is honestly amazing! Staff is awesome!

This is the most choiciest supermarket of the entire city of New York and there's no comparison whatsoever. I have been shopping here since they first opened and will highly recommend it to all my friends. Keep up the good work!!!!

Love my local supermarket, they have quite a wonderful variety of many products from around the world. As a Cuban, they stock Hierba Buena which I can use to make my mojitos in proper form. Been shopping here for years always find something new and interesting to use when I'm cooking or making drinks!

I love this grocery store. The prices are better than any other place in the city, and they have really nice people working there.
