Brooklyn Born Mini Market

They have pretty much everything that I need and the quality is excellent. Lots of organic produce, dairy, bread etc. They also have Kate’s butter, my favorite natural butter from Maine. Sometimes they can be a little pricey but the quality is there for sure.

Love this place. Such a boon to the neighborhood. Food is always fresh and they carry hard-​to-​find brands and lots of natural and organic stuff for surprisingly good prices.
People who work there are very sweet. Place is immaculate.
Excellent cheese selection, really nice produce, and they even make good sandwiches in the back.

I don’t know who «Chris D.» is, but he sure isn’t going to the same store I am. (Maybe he’s a sock puppet for a competitor?) This store’s produce is always fresh, the cashiers are super friendly, and they have a surprisingly good selection of whatever you might want. I have a real soft spot for this store. Ignore that silly hater, Chris D., Brooklyn B. If I could give him a Unilocal review, it would be minus 1 stars.

Great spot to grab some fresh organic/​local produce and products. (Expensive!) But this is a great place to hit up if you’re in a rush or are looking for one or two produce items. From the outside it looks like any other mini mart or bodega but on the inside they have imported cheese, fresh kale and chard, an excellent section of bob mills products etc…

Downgrading this to one star from two. Against my better judgment, and in spite of my earlier review, I bought some greens from here today because I was in a pinch. Got home and started to make a salad. Opened the greens and a stench immediately overcame my nostrils. The greens were TWO DAYS PAST stale but were still on the shelves.
Absolutely unacceptable. I won’t be going here anymore, even for non-​green items. What a rip off. They bill themselves as a greengrocer, but sell ROTTEN vegetables. Ridiculous.

This place is THE gem of Crown Heights. There are so many novelty items here and many local brands.
I went on Dec 24 in hopes of completing a nice tea set I was putting together for my Mom (yep, I am that New Yorker that pulls Xmas gifts together on Xmas Eve). I was looking for some of the digestive teas by Yogi. I was shocked to see that the selection was twice the size of Whole Foods (who I had visited the day before). And with much luck, the boxes were on sale at 2 for $ 7! WFs cost $ 5 for one box! What a steal! And I walked out with the two flavors I went searching for :)
They also have many other items that you could easily pull together for gifting. A nice cookie selection, organic/​whole grains (there is a big Bob Red Mill selection), craft beers, local coffee beans, lots of peanut butters, cooking oils, jars of honey, a variety of cured meats, and many pickles (like McClure’s). My roomies and I frequently stop in for Steve’s ice cream, too.
To top it all off, there are some amazing deals if you dig a bit. The staff is super friendly, too!

I love this place. Friendly staff, affordable, good produce and all the types of gluten free and dairy free products I might need. If you dont see something on the shelves ask and they will try to stock it for you. This is customer service and is why I shop here and NOT at Bob & Bettys or Pinetree Deli.

I want to love this place, but unfortunately I keep getting rotten products.
Rotten cheese on 2 separate occasions and then today my wife got a coconut water that had turned to slime — I believe it was stored incorrectly at some point since the expiration date had not passed.
It’s next door but now I’m going to avoid in favor of other options.

I was visiting from out of town and was looking for some organic snacks for the ride home. What a wonderful gem in the heart of Brooklyn! They had a great deli bar, lots of fresh organic produce, and many other options that I find my local organic market.
If you’re in Brooklyn, and looking for your favorite kale chips, chia kombucha or grass fed butter, this is your place! I even found fresh raw coconut water. Great find.

This place is amazing! Fresh organic produce, better selection than any other place around. Lots of great Asian products including fresh noodles — I made miso ramen w Bok Choy and butternut squash potstickers tonight… mmm. My boyfriend is a baker and they have a great selection of local flours including ancient grains like spelt and amaranth. Great local dairy, lots of vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and fermented items. It’s a winner!
