Ozzie's Fresh Market

"This store is very disrespectful to black people. I came with my family; boyfriend and daughter. I gave the lady $10 at the register and she started panicking checking if the $10 was real…holding it up to the light. Don’t disrespect me at your minimum wage job where you don’t even see $10/hr. We LIVE in this neighborhood and can afford this rent. You only work here, you can’t afford this area so stop disrespecting people who are breaking bread with your business."

"Love the variety, if you go to the chicken section they have a pack of chicken breast legs and thighs for such a good price and the chicken is good quality. Buying that has made my meal prepping lifestyle much easier."

"The store is very expensive. It is much more expensive than high end markets elsewhere in the city. The meat, fruits and vegetables are good quality, but the cashier’s and other store employees are extremely rude and unprofessional. They don’t respond to any greeting and never say Thank you. Complaining to the manager does nothing, Many of my neighbors mentioned the same thing and like me will only shop there in an emergency. ☹️"

"Ozzie's Fresh Market is a nice little grocery store off of Fort Washington Avenue in Hudson Heights. The place always appears clean, well-organized & well-cared for. Also, the aisles are nice and large, so you don't need to awkwardly navigate around anyone while you're shopping. However, I'm dropping a star because the staff don't always seem that friendly. I've only been here a couple of times (maybe I'm just catching people when they aren't in a great mood), but in looking at the other reviews here, it seems I'm not the only shopper who has gotten the vibe that the staff are bothered by the customers. This, for me, has happened specifically at check-out. This morning (for example), there were two check-out gals who had no customers in their lanes, but neither lane light was on, so I politely waited to be signaled that someone was ready for me. It took way longer than was comfortable for someone to acknowledge me. One of the ladies was playing with her Apple Watch. The other was organizing her station, and despite making eye contact with me, didn't signal me to move forward to check-out (or head over to her colleague's lane to get taken care of). Again, there were no other customers being checked-out, so it felt strange. Otherwise, I do like this place, they have a nice selection of items and I like that store's layout is inviting and that the space is well-kept."
