GalaFresh Farms in other cities:
Nice store but i had an issue with a sale price. The manager removed the sign and said i could not get it because it ended on the 19th of Nov and today is the 23rd of Nov! It is not my fault that the staff was too lazy to remove the sign four days ago! I should have been honored the sale price...
Food is always fresh. The store is well organized. Recently I lost my wallet while paying for my groceries. I didnt realize it until the next day. I called and a sweet, wonderful cashier told me they had it at the customer service desk. I wish I would have gotten her name. Thank you Gala for hiring such a great person!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this store!I am so happy they are so close to where I live! I used to be a Stop and Shop customer but since Gala Farms opened here I am a weekly shopper. Everything is fresh, the people who work there are soAccommodating to my needs. They’re so friendly and helpful. The store is very clean and they deliver my groceries when I’m finished shopping which is a Godsend for me because I am handicapped. It’s good to be the Queen!
ORIGINAL REVIEW 2020 - Three StarsOkay in a pinch, prices not so great. Employees not the friendliest, unfortunately, and this rating after at least a dozen shopping trips. :(UPDATED REVIEW 2021 - Five StarsMaybe it was the Covid that colored my review last year. But my latest shopping trip couldnt have been better. I witnessed incredible kindness when employees were assisting a regular customer who is disabled. Their customer service is perfect and all that you could want in a hometown grocery store. Brought tears to my eyes to the point that I can overlook prices. They have gained a loyal customer. Thank you GalaFresh!
Great produce selection, always clean, and the salespeople are lovely. There is a few items that I would consider staples (breakfast granola bars, a big brand of jarred olives etc) that surprisingly arent on the shelves. Cold cuts are pricier here than other local grocery stores, but they do have other specialty items and a GREAT fresh fish selection that makes up for it!
They have a good produce section at good prices! I even was able to get organic milk in a glass bottle. Hope traffic picks up in the store so that turnaround will stay consistent. Nice to see a quality store open up in the neighborhood. Check out has been very quick the few times I shopped there. Much better then Stop and Shop. Keep up the good work!
I love this local grocery store. There is a great selection for its size. The fresh fruit and veggies always seem to be fresher and more tasty than the stuff I get at the larger supermarket. Its always clean. The prices are good. And lastly but not least, they use sturdy plastic bags that dont rip or tear easily. I can reuse use them to clean the litter pans.
This is a small store but well organized and exceedingly clean. Its not a great place for value shopping as many brand names and common household goods are rarely on sale and are usually retail priced. Instead the store excels at stocking more unique and niche goods, many of which are imported. This is a great place to discover new brands. The seafood- although expensive- is on point.The prepared foods are excellent as well and boast amazing variety. Ive picked up prepared sushi on par with restaurants in Manhattan. Finally, the staff are usually very friendly. This location is definitely worth a repeat visit, but not as a replacement for a supermarket or wholesale store (nor should it be). Im glad that this store made it to Baldwin.
Great grocery store for the community. Its small but the produce is always so fresh. They are very active with the community, providing free rides to and from the store, as well as delivery. They also host fun events for the community. I would have given it 5 stars, but on 3 occasions I have walk out with expired items and had to return them, so check the expiration dates!!
The grocery store is new to the Baldwin area but its one of the better ones around and the cleanest by far. The juice bar is awesome, you order your juice, go shopping and they will bring it to you & serve you as you shop (have to ask if the juice person is in). The eggs and juices are always low priced and the rest of the items are fair to moderate. The seafood area looks clean and has a nice selection including squid. There are lots of items even some rare to find fruits and Spanish vegetables i the produce section. Overall never a bad place to try out and they have FREE delivery.
Finally found beef ribs we been looking for!!....shopped here because I told a customer of mine that I lived in Baldwin and she asked if I shop here. Well... now I do...store is spotless! Clean and you dont have to climb over unstocked items to get to what you need....did not have that same feeling I had going to the bigger chains of getting the virus because of an over crowded store....plenty of fresh produce much variety.
I Love Gala in Baldwin. I call it the Gala Friendly Experience! Not only do they have an enticing beautifully colored fruit and vegetable department, Everything is Fresh! The Staff is Kind and Friendly. If you need help they stop what theyre doing and gladly assist you. Oh, and if you forget your mask, they have one at the main desk.They are also One of the Most Well Kept and Cleanest Supermarket Around! In my book an easy 10. Thank You Gala of Baldwin!
My husband has visited this store twice already and he cant stop talking about how clean,neat and reasonable the prices are. Also the fact that all of the fish are Wild Caught except Tilapia because they arent grown in the wild of course. He purchased me a fruit bowl during one of his visits and it was absolutely delicious and fresh. I was beyond pleased.
Gala fresh is one of the best grocery stores on Long Island it is clean it is well-lit it has a public bathroom its prices are excellent Its Deli is fresh as is the produce. They have their own in-house Butcher and an in-house Fish Department where they can even cook your fish while you are shopping. The shells are always well stocked, and this bilingual staff definitely a plus for the community will always help you find something or see if it is in the back prices are excellent parking is very ample, and every August they have a customer appreciation day with food vendors from their own products and Raffles at music and free food and face painting definitely definitely the place to be in August. The aisles are spacious and they offer a great variety of food
When they first opened I loved it. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and packaged food was unopened. I went there yesterday, which was me giving it a second after an incident I had a while back about debating a price about some oranges with the cashier...shes telling theyre $7.99 and Im telling her they were marked $5.99, so she sends someone to look up the price and she tells me they were marked wrong, but she still had to charge me $7.99. I thought the rule was that whatever they have them priced as is what they have to charge you. Anyway, yesterday Im standing at the meat department making a selection. Im there first, and an associate starts to walk towards me with meat to stock. I move out of his way thoughtfully, and even add a sorry even though I did nothing wrong. There was no thank you no excuse me he just looked at me like I was in the way, even though Im the patron and he was in my way. I get to the check out, pay for my food, and wait outside the auto doors for my friend...maybe about 5-10 mins of me standing there, the girl that rang me up..comes to me and asks to see my receipt, Im like, is there a problem, I already spent $119, pls dont tell me you forgot to ring something up. She said she didnt charge me for my 12 pk ginger ale. I said well I put it on the belt, she continues to look on my receipt n said she didnt charge me n tries take it back. I scan my receipt once and found where she did charge me and told her to bring it back...she did...with no apology. Get home to eat a mandarin orange I just purchased just to see that the package was already opened. Gala you started off good. Now theres a bad taste in my mouth. Good job👌🏽.
I love Gala Fresh Farms. This site has had so many incarnations. I hope this will be the home of Gala Fresh for many years to come. It is a great supermarket with all the usual products, produce, deli, great meat department, etc. In addition, there are many unusual items. There are health foods, international foods, an entire seafood department and more. Tuesday is Senior day so thats our day to shop. The prices are reasonable, too. Hope to see you there.
Outstanding!!! Really enjoy shopping at the Baldwin Gala. We lost the Walbaums down in Baldwin Harbor replaced with a crappy Stop and Shop. After a few weeks of buying stale fruits and being deceived at the counter I thought I give Gala a try. During my first visit I noticed the cleanliness and great customer service have been shopping at this location ever since. What I really enjoy the free delivery option my wife uses when she shops with the children.
Beautiful store good selection for foods I like there produce section however I must warn anyone who my have food allergies please be careful the pre made salads I had from there were very good but the dressing they put with the salad I had a allergic reaction to that. But other wise the store is great 👍
I find Gala Market to be one of the better supermarkets in the Freeport, Baldwin area. The employees are VERY accommodating the store is VERY clean, the prices are are comparable. The aisles are not cluttered with the usual pop up displays, so you can shop without dodging displays.
I actually frequent the store often. Nice, never really to busy. My only issue is that the store doesnt represent the community. We live in a well diverse community yet the staff is not a representation of it. When I inquired if they were hiring, I was told No - I returned a week later and there were new employees - one of which I knew who informed that she had just been hired. When I inquired again if they were hiring - I was told by the manager No - so I politely asked if you had to be a certain race to be employed and she said No - she could see how it looks weird but most of the time its family, then she said but I could apply online , I explained that it wasnt for me in fact it was for another young person. She said to have them fill out the application on line and their name would be at the top of the list.Now I am sure some are saying what does this have to do with the store - ALOT - when we live in a diverse neighborhood yet they wont employ all. Whatever you may think about this post is irrelevant, I am making the post to share that their are very few distinctions in the staff make up of all the stores in our communities. My hope is that will change.
I was glad to see a new store take over Waldbaums in Sheepshead, but it just seems to be a glorified Key Food with high prices. That was my first and last visit to the store. Pretty disappointing considering all the good reviews for these stores in LI area. Stop and Shop is 5 min away and their prices and organic selection is MUCH better. Chery Hill a block away is also much better option.
I was glad when they came to Sheepshead Bay, but they do not carry a large selection of gluten free products. I go to Stop and Shop, because they have one aisle that is for all gluten free and organic products, which make it easy to find.. the small amount that they did carry was all over the place and i had to constantly ask, where is this located? I too will give it a few more tries, if nothing changes, then Stop N Shop will still have my business.
That was my first and last visit to the store on ocean ave. Very disappointed. The most unorganized and filthy place ever. Food not fresh. I had to throw away everything i bought in Gala Fresh Farms. Bread smell moldy, russian cookies taste different , very old looking package,avocado rotten ,brown inside. Never again!
Dishonest pricing in addition to being overpriced. I went in person after the store showed up on instacart but for pickup only. The app claimed it had the same in store pricing. So since the prices were decent, there seemed to be a good selection, and a few good sales I decided to check it out.The sale signs are unclear. Most places specify if you need to buy 2 for the sale price since typically if its 2 for $5 one will be $2.50. I was also charged multiple prices for Chobani 100 yogurt depending on the flavor. So the signs stating it was on sale were deceiving and purposely so. In addition the sales I saw on instacart were no where to be found. I will not be back.
Nice adequate selection, in between a fully stocked supermarket and a 7-Eleven, price wise as well..The fish department reeks something god awful ,its seriously unbearable and forced me to quit shopping and just leave a few times.its very local though so I return ,but try to avoid that section.
The way you promote the various items on your weekly listing is terrible. Showing a header promotion of fruit and incorporating various sales prices of meat and fruit in a long paragraph is tedious reading. Why not focus on produce in SHORT paragraphs; and meat in another paragraph; and the same with other dry goods that you wish to advertise. Too much verbiage in your advertisements makes it difficult for a consumer to focus on what they are looking for; take a cue from your competitors.
