Hudson Greene Market

Went here to pick up lunch from the prepared food section. Believe they have a full deli and salad bar as well. May have even seen sushi. Great variety and was not very expensive at all. Tasted delicious. Would definitely go back.

If you want to drastically increase your carbon footprint, shop here! As someone who just moved here from Seattle, this market is quite the (horrible) culture shock. Everyone who shops here seems to be boycotting the canvas bag movement. You practically have to fight the cashiers to not give you a thick, plastic bag that will end up floating around in the ocean. There seems to be no return program for the glass jars that can be purchased here, either.
The food items that can be purchased in the deli area are subpar to flat-​out gross (I’ve had better «sushi» rolls in a community college café)… Pretty much the quality I’d expect from a large grocery store chain.
The bakery stuff is absolutely disgusting.
Most of the lunchtime buffet foodstuff (M-​Fri) is edible.
The items in the store are greenwashed garbage that appeal to rich idiots who slept through a freshman 101 science course.
The owner put more effort into aesthetics than stocking their store with quality items.
The prices are what I’d expect to pay in a co-​op with fresher, local items.
TL;DR: environmentally unfriendly and the deli/​bakery is overpriced trash. The lunchtime buffet for the office crowd is decent, though.

Came in right when it was closing to grab a bite to eat. There are a lot of choices from sushi rolls to various little salad sides like cous cous and bean salads. Ended up getting a curried chicken salad and a kale salad and a bottle of water. Not too bad, about $ 11. Salad was good.

I mostly get my salad from Hudson Greene market for a lunch but today I found a bee or a fly on my salad. Now I am traumatized to even go there and get anything. Be careful with your salad.

The chirashi was recommended to me while visiting the area for work. Great lunch time spot with a hot and cold food bar, prepped salads and a good selection of sushi. I got the chirashi despite the lack of variety of fish. This still ended up being a nice bowl featuring very large cuts of tuna (decent) and salmon (excellent). Rice had toasted sesame seeds which provided texture and flavor, and there was even egg and oshinko (japanese pickled radish). Overall it was good and I would stop back in if in the area and looking for some quick sushi for lunch.

Pastries: My wife picked up a birthday cake for me at Hudson Greene Market. My birthday is February 12^th, today! Originally she was going to pick it up in NYC but due to time constraints she was unable. Well the cake was SOOOOOO HORRIBLE that even my kids (ages 8 and 9) could not eat it. I was a bit pissed off because none of us could eat it and we throw it in the garbage. To be honest we go there for other packaged goods and have found it to be relatively good regardless of price. But many times I have walked by the pastry section and observed that the pastries are dried out or not looking very good. Ultimately very disappointed! Resulted in a frustrating evening for my family on my birthday. I won’t be going back there anymore unless absolutely desperate.

The prices for this grocery store are just as high as NYC’s Garden of Eden, with even less fresh produce. Tip: If you work in the area, make sure to sign up for membership to get 10% off during lunch hours (up to 3pm!).

They have a decent selection here of fresh, frozen, bakery, and packaged foods. They also have a counter for made-​to-​order salads, sandwiches, and a buffet setup if you come for lunch. It is a good choice for lunch, the food always looks good and the line usually moves quickly. Their soups are very well done as well.
I can usually find something to eat here, or if I need one or two ingredients to cook I can snag them here, so why the 2 stars? The prices. I have never seen a place with higher prices than here — think $ 8 for cauliflower that you can buy for $ 3 anywhere else. They have a good amount of specialty and niche items that you perhaps couldn’t find elsewhere, but the prices are just too steep for it to make sense to shop here regularly.

I’ve lived in NY all my adult life so I suppose I may be a bit biased. Having said that, the prices at this fake gourmet market are higher than the highest prices I’ve ever encountered in Manhattan. [Even Zabars]
The food counter is one of the most UNAPPEALING counters I’ve ever seen. Downright depressing! The food appears to be crying… «please help me»!
The staff is un– engaging, uninformed, unhelpful, and unfriendly. Who trained them?
Fellas, you need to take a ferry to N.Y. ($ 6.00) You can use my bonus points. Try the Westside Market on 12^th street and Third Avenue for starters to see how people and food would like to be treated. I guess you’re lucky you have no competition!

Pros:
— great breakfast sandwiches
— good lunch options & salad bar
— friendly staff
Cons
— desserts: seems they’ve changed their bakery recently and the new one isn’t nearly as good
— inflated prices: Recently, I noticed they’ve increased prices even further (ex: on protein bars), which just makes me think they’re taking advantage of being the only «grocery» store in the vicinity
— pre-​packaged goods: these seem to be sitting on the shelf way too long and are over priced for what you get

The deli here is really good. There are a lot of options to choose from and the people who make it are cool and friendly;always having a smile on their faces. As for the hot food, it is also tasty and again a lot of options to choose from. It’s like getting a home cook meal without having to do the work. Also the sushi here is great. The sushi chef is very creative with the type of sushi he makes. Some are even more healthier making sushi with brown rice instead of white rice.
The store itself is a great store to buy from. There are a lot of products for people who are gluten free, dairy free, etc. most are organic products. I love how they have a lot of international products that are hard to fine in other stores.

One of my favorite places to pick up something quick to eat and hammer out work at my desk. I do think they have to edit the prices on the ready-​packaged food near the counter. Sometimes it looks up to 5 dollars just for a tiny portion of steamed veg.

This is a nice little market in downtown JC. They have a good selection of gourmet brands. Good produce section.
Only complaint I have is that there is no real seafood/​meat department. They have some stuff, but it’s limited.

Love this place. Great for organics, fresh, healthy, and yummy food /​sweet. Big selection on gluten free items (if you’re into that). In the mornings they make great breakfast sandwiches. Lunchtime is hopping with their hot lunch buffet. Great deli selection too. Have a points system that you can sign up for (it’s free) and they don’t expire– so if you’re a frequent shopper; it will pay off.

Nice grocery store in the area with a good selection of organic products.
I’m a bit wary of buying meats/​fish because I didn’t see an expiration date the first time I wanted to buy fish. Skeeved me out tbh…
That aside, it’s convenient to hop in to buy whatever I run out of (especially their org produce) after getting off the path train.
Also, sushi is pretty good.

Love this place! It’s the best yuppie market in JC. I guess (and by guess, I mean know) I’m kind of a bougie biatch, but the A&P and Shop Rite totally skeeve me out. Hudson Greene’s produce is always fresh — which is of paramount importance. I’m surprised to see the reviews say otherwise. I guess I’ve either been lucky, or they’ve stepped their game up.
They also have a killer grocery selection. All the yuppie staples I love, plus obscure shit I haven’t seen. I try to be on my A-game…you know, Baby D style… «fat bitch know about all the new snacks before they even hit the streets… all the bootleg snacks… the year 2000 snacks.» Keeping me on my toes.
I love the staff. I think it’s run by Asians (which is obv. why it rocks).
I keep forgetting to try them for lunch. The food actually looks really good, and they’re always popping at lunchtime.

Scores points for convenience, and they do have a decent selection of organic and natural foods, but that’s about it. It’s the only sizeable market (sizeable being a relative term) within walking distance to home. It is worth walking past the few corner convenience stores end route to Hudson Greene when I need milk or eggs in a pinch, since the only places I have ever seen who charge more for milk and eggs are the few corner stores between home and Hudson Green Market… In general, I find Hudson Green is overly expensive and totally takes advantage of their location and lack of competition in the area. Given the number of new buildings going up in Downtown JC, I really hope a new supermarket moves in to the ground floor of one of them…
I didn’t enjoy the few baked goods I’ve tried, either.

I love this place. It’s small enough where you can get all of the essentials and not too much variety that you spend hours in the store. I love popping in here for veggies and the high end supper foods you have to go to trader joes or whole foods for. The have an excellent selection of veggie chips that I have been working my way through. Some basic things like soda will be more expensive than some other grocery stores (e.g. A bottle is 2.79). Nevertheless very clean and not over crowded so no need to push through the masses. And they have random Russian food!

I love this little market! They have a great selection of organic and healthy foods. Best part, they have BluePrintCleanse juices! I used to have to go all the way to Whole Foods for this and other items, but now I only have to head downtown.
I think the produce at A&P is better and fresher, but good nonetheless.

Pros: convenient location in Paulus Hook, where I can grab some groceries on my way home. Wide selection of food, cooked and packaged. They have tables where you can sit to enjoy a meal.
Cons: Wide selection of food may look good, but is way overpriced for what you get and quality is subpar. Bunch of kids stocking the store, in what seems to be the absence of a floor manager. Learned my lesson the past few times I was there.
I bought the tortellini pesto pasta which you can tell is small from the packaging. I paid about $ 5 for it. When I opened the package, there were 6 small pieces of pasta… the rest of the container was filled with cherry tomatoes, saturated in oil. Completely unacceptable.
As I said before, the store has a wide selection of different foods, it’s a little easy to get lost. The section where you can get detergent, etc is tucked away in the back. I couldn’t find it at first, so I approached 2 men stacking the shelves to direct me. When I asked them if they carried detergent, the guy scoffed at me and said it was in the back. Then he and his friend started laughing. I swear, after that encounter, I checked to see if there was anything on my face or in my teeth. (There wasn’t)
I decided to write this review today, after I was rang up by the very rude brunette girl with the ponytail and blue sweatpants. No smile, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS just snatching my items and slamming them in the bag. Short, snide statements.. «membership card?» «$ 12.00» and finally «have a good day?» Almost lowered myself to her standard by asking if she meant it.
As someone who works Sunday until 5 pm, I understand no one wants to be working then. But you chose to show up to work today, so suck it up.
Basically, this is a great place if you want to overpay for food and get snarked by a bunch of lazy teenagers. I will not be returning.
