Union Market in other cities:
Great selection of produce. Best in neighborhood.
Expensive,only top tier products...very limited for a broke boy like me
Purchased mussels. 50% of them were open and therefore had gone bad. I returned the mussels and picked up some “fresh shrimp, flown in yesterday from the gulf”. It was rancid. The fresh garlic we bought was also moldy. Go to Whole Foods down the street.
An upscale market with nice selection of specialty items. The veggie section is well kept and fresh. Good cheese selection and small meat and sea food sections. Some deli and prepared foods and a small bakery section. Store is clean and staff is helpful. A smaller, friendlier Whole Foods type store but also more expensive. I usually split my shopping between here and the Trader Joes on 14th and A.
Pricey supermarket. However excellent, wide and high quality selection of food. Awesome fruits, veggies and cheese selection. And good quality meats and fish too.
Forgot my mask and staffs were very helpful to get me one. Great and friendly service.
A few very pricey items but very high quality
Love this grocery store! I dont do the majority of my grocery shopping here but I think this place is worth going to if you want a good selection of clean fruits and vegetables.Not everything is crazily overpriced as it may seem. A lot of the items I pick up here are reasonably priced! I love buying the fresh squeezed orange juice, rotisserie chicken, and the produce here. All my other groceries I pick up at KeyFoods just because some items I dont necessarily need to be organic or super healthy. Sometimes I just want to buy a dozen eggs for $1.89 not $6 from union market.Overall, you can find a lot of good deals here and I highly recommend if you live in the area.
This supermarket is superb. Well stocked with a variety of fresh produce and seafood options. Staff are pleasant and the store is extremely clean. COVID-19 procedures are enforced making this supermarket a safe place to shop. Highly recommend.
Great place for groceries. Make sure to bring lots of money
Been to this supermarket twice and although it’s clean and organized we were treated like we weren’t wanted in the store as of because we are black we don’t belong in there I swear I felt like someone was following us the whole time . I will never shop here again till everyone is treated the same.
Excellent, high quality gourmet style food.
Pros: Unique selection of items not found elsewhere.Cons: Pricey, over marked things. Price discrepancy between advertised labels & actual cash register.
There is union market entrance. hello produce dept. hello various olives, pickles, many fantastic domestic snd foreign cheeses yummy rolling eyes, far out crackers section, hello prepared foods, awesome bakery breads, there is butcher meat, heavenly various fishs
Wonderful local business that carries great quality foods. Grateful they are in this neighborhood.
Expensive, but a lux experience compared to Key Food. Some thing are so marked up here its worth going to a big grocery store instead (condensed milk for example, was twice as expensive as it would be anywhere else).Produce, proteins and cheese is expensive here buy way better than nearby stores. Worth it for that stuff.In short, if you can swing a markup on stuff this is a good place to shop. Feels very COVID friendly, not that crowded and the people who work there are very nice.
Nice place but a little pricey.
Some people say this store is more expensive than Whole Foods. No, a lot of what I buy is actually less expensive. E.g. fresh mozzarella, some other good cheeses and a lot of fresh bread is less expensive than in WF. It depends on what you like.
This grocery always has fresh produce and a pretty good selection given how small it is for a grocery store. A little expensive but worth it if youre in a pinch. They have a great deli with amazing pre-made food. The staff is always friendly with good advice and very knowledgeable. I always enjoy going into this place.
This is a really nice and convenient place with a good selection of fresh fruits and veggies and a nice clean meat department. WOW they are expensive though.I will continue to go here on an as needed basis. If their prices were better I’d reconsider.The people that work there are super friendly. I actually enjoy them the most.
Union opened here, planning on hundreds of up-and-coming New Yorkers filing in for groceries before they climb up into their groovy pads nearby. Indeed it appears to have worked. And the rest of the hood is often here, even tourists - this place, with its narrow aisles, can get stopped up at peak times.Fabulous fresh and varied bread daily. Superior selection and quality from many local bakeries.Fresh vegetables. In midwinter this is a real treat. Veggies and fruit expensive unless on special.Good cheese selection.Packaged exotic and local roasted coffee.Fresh fish (and meat) with live butchers!This is by far not all this Union offers (its a pretty complete food store). This is a snapshot of the areas this reviewer likes and has had adequate experience with.
I could live and die in the produce section. The beefsteak tomatoes that I purchased on Saturday were a thing of beauty. I caressed them so much that my wife stopped speaking to me until I turned them into a salsa.
Thousands of different kinds of quality food.
They have one of the largest cheeses selection that I have ever seen. They have great selection of vegetables and fruits as well. The meat department is smaller than Whole Foods but they still have the main items. Usually there is line at the register but it moves fast. Staff is friendly.
Fresh. really fresh fruits and vegetables.Great selection of herbs. Also excellent cheese section. The isles are comfortable and the navigation well thought.The music played is always cool and relaxing.All in all best supermarket downtown.
I recently found this place because it is not on my usual commute route. But this is a nice market with a lot of fresh vegetable and fruits options. If you like buy ingredients and cook by yourself, you will love this place. I can get everything I need to make lunch sandwiches, dinner rolls, office snacks, to-go nuts, etc.
It is a excellent place to met your shopping needs.
High quality organic food that is reasonably priced - exactly what I was looking for in LES, a happy medium between the random corner markets and whole foods. The produce is fresh and plentiful. They also give you free coffee if you buy a pastry :)
Not only do I shop here, but I work here. Not only is it a very high end place to shop, but all of their products are nothing but the finest. Their prepared foods dept serves a half rotisserie chicken meal with two sides for such a reasonable price that fast food for dinner is obsolete. Theres no better place to get a healthy and quick meal after a long day at work. Not to mention their quality meat, seafood and produce as well as their outstanding assortment of daily baked breads. Definitely Your Neighborhood Source for Fine Foods.
The location is great and the quality of the food looks good. They try and sell $2.99 for a hot drink and pastry to draw in the morning crowd. Honestly though, the prices are high compared to whole foods down the street. Plus the way they have their store set up forces you to walk in a zig zag through it, which can be kind of confusing at times. Hope this helps!
Great little grocery with reasonable prices for what youre getting. We got a fresh baguette, delicious whiskey aged gouda (a pretty broad cheese selection for such a small space), tomatoes, nectarines, milk, cereal, energy bars, and chocolate all for $30
They have a large selection of high quality organic products. I love the buy a pastry or oatmeal & get a free coffee. The staff is very helpful & the cashiers are fast & friendly.
Life saver! This place literally saved my life bc I was experiencing a hypoglycemic reaction and this store had all the essentials. Plus there was a bench outside to relax and regroup. Dont know where Id be without this place or what wouldve happened. Only thing that I wasnt crazy about was priced. Items seemed to be a bit marked up. But I guess its understandable given the highly coveted location. Lastly, staff was extremely courteous and friendly- have to love that aspect.
Union Market is a reliable spot for unique foodie items at a reasonable price. Today found coconut cream strawberry shortcake popsicles for $3.99 a box, a big stack of fresh corn tortillas for $3.50, and roasted tomato and pepper salsa $5.49.
I love this (not so) little market. They have a great variety of fresh produce, cheeses, an olive bar and both a butcher and a fish monger. Along with the fresh foods they have a nice pre-cooked home cooking. Today I got roasted beets with candied pistachios and truffle vinegrette and creamed spinach with gruyere cheese. Tip: never go in there hungry. Definitely not the cheapest but nice for a splurge.
Much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Great selection of everything from produce to cheese to fresh breads and prepared foods along with the usual. Not as large as Whole Foods but similar grade products.
They dont let you try the fish for freshness. I understand if I had no intent on buying anything, but after acknowledging I was going to buy the salmon, I wanted to try the scallops to see if they were worth buying. The man told me no. If you arent willing to sample out your seafood. Thats definitely a warning sign!
Omg where do I start... Love the cuts of meat they offer. The cheese and olives I couldnt ask for more variety and quality. I only wish they had a barter system. I am going to purchase all of my Last Meals here😃
3.5 stars.4 Stars for freshness and quality.3 Stars for Price4 Stars for helpfulness of the StaffThere seems to be always samples to try like cheese, crackers, chips, pickles and olives. Every time I try something there I buy it...but thats it! Everything else is expensive.In terms of snacks and small bites, this is a pretty good place to check out. But prices can be high and may possibly make a hole in your pocket. This store represents why New York City is so expensive. But quality and freshness is all here.They try to fill in the neighborhood void of markets, which is now full of restaurants and bars, with simple necessities new yorkers need...but at a high price.
Clean and great for last minute items, snacks, and bites. However, very expensive. They do have free coffee/tea with any pastry purchase. Could use some tongs for the pastry cabinet. Ive seen some nasty hands and arms reaching in. Staff is very helpful.
Great produce, good product curation. Found everything I needed to cook a complicated coursed dinner.
Super overpriced. I like whole foods a lot better. Customer service is good though. Nice that they offer free coffee or tea with bakery items
Good market for sure. Clean, fresh produce, well in order. The sushi bar is good, too, but i havent had the best tasty flavor consistently.
Excellent customer service by Chris! An exceptional employee who promotes the high high standards and Union Market company mission!
The perfect neighborhood supermarket. A well curated Whole Foods that is way less crowded. They have really interesting drinks and mixers too, and their selection of branded snacks (esp nuts) is awesome. Flowers for sale near the register too.
Nice upscale, gourmet type food market. Their prepared foods or very good and well presented. Reasonably priced also, as are their groceries. A good place to stop and make some purchases.
Great place they have really good prepared food everything is good.. its a very convenient location for me right on Houston and avenue A.. they have really good fresh fruits and vegetables and a lot of other fresh foods and fantastic bread Im really happy they open this place so close to home its not much else I can say just that its a great place and if youre in this area you should definitely try it
Great for their descaled salmon from the counter (wholefoods still has scales); good coffee bean selection.
Great market with very high quality products all around and delicious prepared food. Its a very good shopping experience as the store is well organized and not overcrowded. But you certainly pay for that experience
Great concert grocer with a deli.
Inside this neighborhood market youll find everything a natural heart desires. Sustainable farmed salmon, nut thins, vegan ice cream, and veggies galore are available. The only downside is the cramped spaces down the narrow with a lot of shoppers, but I suppose this is the norm in NYC.
The rudest. The only kind female worker is the Black girl. The Arabian looking woman has such a filthy energy doesnt even greet you upon going to her register. I said hi and nothing. They also make up prices it is strange. Until I checked my receipt one day, I was paying a fortune for food since they charged me the wrong price the entire time. Rip off store with miserable morning women charging fake high prices on customers that are not watching.
I love shopping here! I come here for their fresh and organic produce. Their bagel/pastry morning special is what gets my day started. That said, I find it quite absurd that with such an abundantantly stocked supermarket/deli, they are unable to cut tomatoes to add to a bagel or sandwich at a customer’s request.I find this interesting considering that I’ve ordered sandwiches from this location where one of the ingredients called for a...(that’s right you guessed it) a tomato! To add even more comedy to this tomato sitch, when the Caucasian lady in front of me ordered her sandwich the guy at the deli suddenly made it rain tomatoes.If there’s one thing I love more than racially biased interactions at 7 am, it’s minorty on minority Uncle Tomery from the Latino union market worker half my age. : )slave mentality...Happy shopping!
Good over all, but itd be helpful if you have price tags over all items. Since many have non. (so customers wont have to be disappointed at check out).Thanks
Love this market because I can find most of the ingredients I am looking for. Very pricey so I dont shop here to often. This supermarket is always very neat and clean, I love that!
During our stay in NY it was a great market! Everything is truly fresh, amazing cheese, chocolats, yogurts and anything you might need. Excellent options with helpful staff. :)
Lots of allergy friendly options. The cashiers seemed aloof but, they were not mean.
$6 dollars for shredded cheese ::(
The details that make it worth it..lots of high quality stuff good turnover, and decent prices. some stuff a little pricey but simple things like a plastic bag on the baguette on a rainy day or a free recycleable bag when I came in during the snowstorm make it all well worth it!!!
Expensive but worth it. I always love shopping here. Great seafood!
Well stocked, good location, super helpful staff. Nice selection of organics, etc. A bit pricey but not bad compared to the whole foods up the street.
Excellent fresh fruit and vegetables. Great deli cheeses, meats and cured goods. Healthy groceries and you can even get meals made up for you
They dont do a good job of removing old food products. I have bought moldy food products on several occasions (could not tell because of the wrapping) and saw some moldy blueberries.
Good selection, high quality (especially meat and seafood), and friendly staff.
Great selection of of sustainably sourced goods. The produce is fresh. The store is reasonably priced. Not too crowded.
On the last 3 times Ive shopped here Ive been OVERCHARGED. The prices marked on items do not always reflect what is in the system. On two occasions the shop assistant told me the correct price is what is in the system and *not what is marked on the product*. Unacceptable!
Best grocery store in the neighborhood. Better than whole foods times 10. Better than key food. Fresh food. Great service.
Small grocery store with expensive taste. Many free samples for exploring your olive kick. Hot soups and fresh salads also available.
Was new to the city and staying nearby with no bearings and missing whole foods and this place filed that hole in my heart.
My favorite grocery store in the LES. Fresh produce and amazing prepared foods at decent prices. Excellent meat and fish department with some hard to find things.
Delicious pre-made food, but its a small store that has overpriced stuff. And you cant find everything you are looking for. Its a smaller more expensive whole foods
The place okay but, they dont really have a lot of things that I need. 🙃
Best customer service ever, the staff is so friendly and helpful and sweet. Also they make a really great Senegalese soup of the day!
Great top-of-the-line options that use from but on the expensive side I would suggest ordering something from their lunch counter which is a little bit more reasonably priced and great food!!!!!
I checked out some of my TAKE FIVE lottery tickets, got some free tickets that I WON!LOVE that music when YOU win!Thats music to my ears! G.R Dr. Lafter
Easy to navigate, great selection. A bit pricey but not unexpectedly so.
Bought a sandwich here. The sandwich is okay but pretty fresh. I think its a good choice when you dont have time to sit down and eat.
There a sizable variety of whole bean coffee blends. They also have their own chocolate bars.
Great place for fresh food, sandwiches, wide variety of food items. Love this place
Good selection of organic foods and free range meat. A little pricey but its to be expected with the labels.
I go there all the time because of the fresh wild caught fish..amongst other items.. nice atmosphere and helpful staff.
Close by, Union Market is clean and has fresh food and produce ....they will also deliver in a pinch. The people are so nice and helpful too.
One of my favorite small natural food grocery stores. The layout is inviting and intuitive along with a solid selection.
Every time I come here I go, Onion Market, lol, so how come they dont sell onions here? Oh, they do? Problem solved.
It has nice and interesting things. It is not a supermarket where you seek deals, but more of a gourmet style market.
Convenient, quaint,good customer service.A tad on the pricey side.Variety of choosesKeto friendly
Love Union Market. Everything is fresh and the place is very clean and well organized. Their hot food is delicious too.
The best of what Whole Foods used to be when it grew up in Austin, plus the best of what Whole Foods used to be before it became an Amazon distribution center.
Good selection of fruits and vegetables. Their cooked chicken is delicious. Friendly workers that are helpful.
Great place/ tremendous variety of goods, excellent service, overall, the place you and your family want to go, WolfGod said so, enjoy🤑
Best place for fresh orange juice when you are ill. Also watch for sales on cheese.
Foods always fresh and tasty, but it is a bit on the pricier side. Think of it as a smaller version of Whole Foods.
Most overpriced store ive ever seen
Great deal for coffee in the morning! Fresh breads brought in everyday and the fruit and vegitable selection is awesome!
So many options so many different foods to eat cant walk out this spot without grabbing a bite
Small version of whole foods with better prices and nicer people
Union Market has lots of store brands, the store plays jazz, quite a few sampling stations, and everything just screams gentrification. Prices are what youd expect.
Wonderful organic selection. Prices on par with nearby competition. Kind staff. Unusual items in stock. Accepts LevelUp.
Very clean and well-organized. Great selection of healthy foods and household products.
Limited selection. Very overpriced. Better off going to whole foods up the street.
Produce section is well organized. My bagel and tea was perfectly delicious.
Jazz music. Quiet. Great quality products.No line. Love it.
Scary Expensive! Because AMAZON is coming to get them markets like this act like they are gourmet but they are not and they just abuse people! Very Unnecessary!
Upscale wannabe Whole Foods straight out of Brooklyn. Good for the gentrified émigrés to Manhattan, but not for real New Yorkers.
Very friendly staff and great choices for gluten free food. Many options to cater peoples needs.
I get the locally distributed uncured bacon and dark chocolate covered almonds. Its a pricey market.
When I want fresh vegetables and fruits, I go to Union Market. Plus their soups are great and more.
First time here. Great selection and merchandising. If I lived this far east this would be my market.
The best fresh coffee!! Food choices delicious. ..shopping experience is always pleasant.
Great selection of specialty products, but rather expensive.
A super super market. Pricey. But great for things that are common to good cooking. So you get what you pay for.
Fresh and delicious food, but youll pay 2x the price for basics available at the market around the corner.
Clean, and well stocked market on the Lower East Side. Prices a bit higher than Whole Foods.
Walked by didnt go in
Sushi here is fantastic. In here every other day buying sushi and fruit, solid neighborhood staple.
Good choices. Mostly organic. More expensive than Whole foods.
Expensive af but its mad convenient and good quality.
Ive if the best places to get fresh veggies, esp. mushrooms. But the price isnt cheap.

Overpriced but they have unique items here. Line goes fast too.
Expensive, but mostly worth it. If you are on a budget, be careful for random items/brands that are much more expensive than others.
Happy this parietes and quality is in our neighborhood not the cheapest but gourmet choices

The beef we got from this place was old (it had turned green when we took it out of the fridge the next day we bought it!!!!)Be cautious people!

2022-04-14The employees are great but extremely overprice. There prices are way higher the any other supermarket and there’s absolutely nothing unique or different. Whole Foods sales more unique items and at a lower price and they are just 4 blocks away.
Review №2
2022-04-21Not overpriced; no idea why people are saying this. Many items are the same price as the local supermarket, Key Foods, and their own brand organic milk and eggs are much cheaper. The produce has better variety than Whole Foods and their meat and fish may be costlier, but you definitely get what you pay for.
Review №3
2022-07-07You’re better off walking two more blocks to Whole Foods.Too expensive, too niche, has everything and nothing at the same time.One time, I got a pound of mussels and they were all dead.I give it two stars because their pesto is perfect. It’s my favorite store bought pesto.
Review №4
2021-09-22Expensive but during the pandemic - it was the only place stocked with food. and they are a great group of friendly people. and super helpful! the sushi is good and they have a large selection of beers gourmet of course ha! and they sell the ronny brook egg nog in the winter (in the bottle) it tastes like old time egg nog that grandma used to make. but also is like $8 /qt. still good tho. great selection of ice creams and veggie burgers. also they have laundry detergents / soaps / and kitchen misc items. i am posting some great hot fudge sundae that i made today from some vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup that i bought today at union market

2022-02-06If youre going to spend good money and able to walk a few blocks west, do yourself a huge favor -- SKIP union market, and instead, go to Whole Foods. I grew up in the LES/East Village and succumbed some of to the charming benefits of gentrification (cafes, gift shops, Supper), so I was excited when UM came to my hood. However, this store is a complete disappointment in every way, from pricing to quality. Everything, EVERYTHING, is completely overpriced, boxes and bags of dry goods on the shelves are EXPIRED or close to it, as are dairy products! AND, every time I have bought fish or seafood at the UM counter, it has been spoiled and smelled TERRIBLE; at first I would just throw it away, but the past few times, I have gone back to the store and returned spoiled fish, mussels, shrimp, etc. DO NOT buy the shrimp cocktail that youll find near the register -- its almost always INEDIBLE!

2019-09-08This is my first time here and I can say that my first impression of this place is very clean and organized, you can find a great variety of fruits and vegetables as well as restaurants that have varieties of food which I enjoyed very much.

2022-04-23I ejoyed this place so much, they have a wide range of healthy food and drinks items to choose from, everything is fresh,clean an well stocked, the staff is very professional respectful and kind ,they also have healthy hot and cold meals to choose from at the deli as well as fresh friuts ,vegetables, and groceries, it was well worth the visit

2021-10-06Love the Sushi, the fresh bread, the desserts and all the fresh produce! Great gourmet place. Yes it can be pricey as some have said, but its not just some average market. So its worth the price for me!
Review №9
2021-09-09This supermarket looks very organized and clean, but I honestly dont know how fresh their food is. In a year or so that I been a customer there, Ive gotten sick at least 3 times from eating their food from the deli dept. For a while I stopped buying food from the deli to avoid the frustration of getting sick, but I decided to go back and once again it happened... its funny because their refrigerated food looks so fresh, and appetizing, but Im now convinced its not always fresh... it was actually their roasted chicken and kale that made me sick.

2022-07-26There store is nice and clean food is ok
