"I walked into the store with a legally registered service animal. The shop owner came up to me and demanded that I pick up the animal or leave. I told him repeatedly that he was a legal service animal and that I had documentation. He insisted that since he was not wearing service animal attire or a tag, he was not they would not accept him as a service animal. He started shouting at me - literally shouting - to pick up the animal or leave. Another woman came and joined him. I repeatedly asked “do you want to see his documentation, yes or no” and they repeatedly refused."

"The deli is not hygienic. Old meat and cheese are left on the equipment. The Deli man wasn't wearing gloves. It's so odd that they have random old pieces of cold cuts for sale. I assume that they will serve you the scraps as well if you aren't looking based on the conditions."

"They carry Dietz and Watson black pepper turkey which i LOVE! Can't find it anywhere else in the city. The store is a little tight but they seem to carry most staples. I didn't check prices. Right above the 6 train exit so very convenient to grab a few things on your way home."

"So nice to have a local grocery store with reasonable prices and well stocked shelves! Much more affordable than all the other high-end niche health foods stores in the area and surprisingly wide variety of ingredients available!"

"Although it may look rundown on the outside. Inside is quite clean and orderly. The cashiers are personable and this store has a very good selection of reasonably priced, good quality meats which sell out quickly. I have been shopping there for several years, since the new owners took over."
