Had a very disappointed experience and will never go back to this store . I went to buy plantains , and they had a box that had ripe plantains, so I asked the man at the cash if the lb will be cheaper since they were too ripe , his answered to me very rude β€œ no, if you don’t want it it’s okay , we have a lot of customers β€œ , I always like to support black community business but I’m sorry we have to work in our customers service skills , value the client, be polite , be well coming! Doesn’t cost you nothing to be nice. This is place is one of the nasty place in town, will not recommend, rude rude rude rude rude

Excellent little place. However, one of the hidden gems is the restaurant in the basement called Pam’s which serves amazing Caribbean food.

This place is great! The grocery store is well-stocked, organized, and reasonably priced. The restaurant in the basement is fantastic. My family and I have ordered from the restaurant time and time again and have yet to be disappointed. They offer a variety of delicious Filipino dishes for an extremely low price (starts at $4.99 for their “small” container). The staff is very friendly and super helpful. I have ordered party platters from them as well and the food was ready on time and was well received.
