Gourmet Glatt Market

C’est par hasard que nous sommes venus dans ce supermarché glatt casher (la plus stricte norme de la cacheroute). Nous logions dans un hôtel pas très loin et avions besoin de bouteilles d’eau. On né savait même pas où nous mettions les pieds.
Nous sommes rentrés dans un temple de la nourriture casher tenu par des hispaniques (mais je né suis pas certaine car ce né sont peut-​être que les employés?), c’est un peu déroutant, d’ailleurs ce sont les 2 grosses communautés du quartier.
Revenons en aux choses sérieuses. J’ai halluciné devant tout le choix qu’il y avait, que ce soit au niveau boucherie ou du rayon traiteur ou encore la boulangerie (les bagels et le pain tressé sont délicieux et vraiment pas chers du tout).
Oui parce qu’en fait après avoir acheté nos bouteilles d’eau nous sommes souvent revenus pour acheter de quoi dîner sur le pouce les soirs où nous rentrions trop fatigués, ou pour acheter des bagels pour le petit dej.
Une étoile en moins parce que la clientèle est malheureusement insupportable (manqué clairement de respect pour qui né leur ressemble pas, bah oui mon mec n’a pas de guirlandes dans les cheveux et moi je né suis pas couverte des pieds à la tête et à cause du personnel qui n’est pas très sympathique).
Si vous pouvez, évitez d’y aller le jeudi soir entre 19h et 22h c’est la cohue ! (ils ferment le lendemain pour shabbat pendant 2 jours) car c’est apparemment LE supermarché casher de Brooklyn voire de NYC donc tout le monde s’y presse !

I come here all the time and the reason for that is the products … The prices are fair on fruits and veggies.
HOWEVER the people working there are all horrible. No service. I ask. «Do you have kale this week «im being looked at like a unicorn. I don’t like it. I will though continue coming because the prices is the only thing this place has.

I really love this place. I shop here every week. The food is super fresh n if there is something I need in advance, all I do is call n it’s there for me. Prices are average. Hours are great. The only reason I gave it a 4 rating is because I would love to see much more of an organic selection. What they do have, is priced correctly n very yummie. They make yummie chulent thurs eve and have great fresh made salads. The fish dept is also great, always fresh.

+ The selection is great — lots of hard to find items here.
+ Free shipping to your door.
+ Good selection in the meat department
— The take out isn’t anything special
— lines can get quite long

The other reviews sound too professional, sounds to good to be true, every time we called in a phone order or we were in the store we had a story that something went wrong. In the store we waited for a case of something after 15 min waiting for it they tell me they don’t have and the cashier said they do and a other employee says they do, after 25 min I got my case I paid for. When I called in to place a phone order always messed up they give attitude, there prices and service is awful. No I’m not a competion writing this, me and my wife work hard for a living and we figured we will try them out, get your act together and then open up. I will never shop here or recommend to shop. Btw If you call to complain where your order is after 6 hours waiting they get upset. And if you go in to the store to show them the things you ordered is in stock they get upset. If they screw up your phone order it’s not there fault.

Gourmet Glatt Kosher is in the vicinity of what my family used to call just 13^th Avenue. This stretch of streets has changed a lot since my childhood. When we were kids, we used to come at least one a week if not more to buy everything from produce to our yearly school supplies and those delicious Italian ices or to go to the Library. Woolworth’s, Gray Shell, Capitols, Carini Bakery, Scotto’s Bakery, Joyce Leslie, Rainbow Shops, Nationals and Fabco shoes were some of the stores I remember. I think Scotto’s is the only one left but it turned into a wholesale supplier of baked goods. They no longer open up the storefront. In its early, early days 13^th Avenue had many Italian produce shops, pizzerias as well as fabric stores. We would also watch the beautiful marzipan fruits made by Carini Bakery every time we left and came to 13^th Avenue as it was right on the corner and used as a landmark. While this giant gourmet glatt kosher may have housed produce and mixed market shops.
It is now a giant kosher supermarket filled with everything from produce, meat, pre-​packaged foods, to freshly prepared foods and bakery items and yes, they even have kosher sushi.
The place is fun to browse, but beware. It is full of people and long lines. Families come and buy so many groceries that most carts are filled to capacity. I enjoy going to neighbor supermarkets wherever I am, and seeing the diverse products as well as products just for that neighborhood. I can always find something I’ve never seen in any other supermarket and my family knows usually to find me in the cookie aisle soaking it all in. If you are a smart shopper, also do comparison shopping. Look for sales because prices fluctuate depending on what you buy.
I would also love to give it more star power, but seeing that some of the customers were downright aggressive, I have to knock down a star. Yes, some woman in a shopping cart was in a frenzy and hit me in the hip and another muscled her way while picking some of the fruit which I was still trying to pick by loudly saying «excuse me» and planting herself right behind me then next to me, so much that I didn’t have space to get any more pears. Well, I moved out of her way, and then she smiled at me. Wow! Force me out and then smile at me! I guess it’s her way of telling me it’s not a hostile takeover.
If you have time and like to browse, stop by Gourmet Glatt Kosher.

Are you from other parties of the country or outside NYC? Well, I am and thought I’d never see a large and clean supermarket with lots of choices here in Brooklyn. Look no more as I have found heaven!
This place was so much fun to shop in as instead of not finding what I wanted, I found too many choices! Alas, I’ll just have to come back again. If you keep kosher, they have an excellent selection and a HUGE selection of parve ice cream (great if you’re lactose intolerant like myself). FYI, I fell in love with cookie and cream by Klein’s. Also, for some odd reason, chicken wings in the meat section always seem to be super cheap at kosher markets and this place does not defy that rule.
Looking for Israeli imports? You’ve got one of the best selections in Brooklyn here.
We went shopping on a Monday night and it was rather dead. I suppose that is the time to go.
Looking for a great deal? You won’t find one here. Heck, I don’t think they even do sales. Most items other than the wings and the parve yogurts seemed to be rather expensive. However, it is gourmet as they have low, medium, and high end products and an excellent large selection. As the name goes, what do you expect?

I come here for the huge selection. The produce section is well stocked.
While the prices are just average, the front cashiers have made errors ringing up items at the register numerous (!) times. I’m not talking about small errors — the last error one of them made was to the tune of $ 80.
Buyer beware.

I am a big fan of this place. It is really a one stop shop for everything. Produce is fresh and cheap (this sets it apart from many kosher supermarkets). The meat is reasonably priced and always fresh. Take-​out and sushi is great. Overall a great shopping experience.
The only reasons I give it 4 stars is because meat pricing tend to fluctuate quite a bit. I understand that meat is a commodity and pricing will change, but the swing is too much to write it off to changing meat prices. Meat was MUCH cheaper when they opened. I am still willing to pay the little extra to shop in a nice environment. The other reason is the check-​out staff. They are slow and often don’t pay attention to what they are doing (texting or talking to another worker in another lane). I have been charged twice for products because of this.

Wow, a very clean and spacious Kosher grocery store. The produce are reasonably priced but where is the good old traditional baked treats like: rugelach, rainbow cookies, mandelbrot and hamentaschen? And I don’t mean those funky pink/​wht, blk/​wht, and orange/​wht color iced cookies.
Thumbs down to the linzer tart, way too sweet and the cookie tasted like a bland sugar cookie with a freezer burn after taste, as for the apricot filling… too sweet and a bitter after taste. Skip the bake good section and go fill your cart with other things like peaches, nectarines and pickles.
This place is like a Kosher Stop and Shop with lots of Jewish brand names and imports from Israel.

Great Kosher grocery emporium in 20,000 square feet. The market is very clean with a huge array of fresh produce, with good prices on the sale items and reasonable prices on most produce. My sister and I went hunting for pickles and pickles did we find. A quart of Gus’s pickles went for $ 3.49 with most quarts (Wiiliamsburg pickles etc) going for $ 2.99. This is a steal as most quarts go in Manhattan for $ 6−7(Hornan’s still the best and worth the $ if you have it!).Pastries are not great (unless you are kosher and I’m not, save your pastry stomach for the Italian bakeries at Cobble Hill) and when we went on a Monday, there didn’t seem to be fresh challah. Sis said go back on Friday, Shabbos. The linzer tart we picked up was only okay. It was pale as if not quite browned and had no butter taste, of course. And you won’t find chocolate babka made with Valrohna because they can only use kosher chocolate. But the range of kosher products who observe is impressive. There is an extensive meat section, canned goods section, and your usual array of miscellaneous household items. They even have a bathroom upstairs. This huge supermarket is a welcome and refreshing addition to a nabe that is populated by smaller, often very grungy markets and fills a void for those in the nabe who want to shop in a clean (I happyily can’t stress this enough) place. I compared it to aWhole foods as far as as how inviting the displays were, but cheaper and Kosher. The displays were organized and estheticially pleasing. Staff was cordial and helpful and showed us where the price scanner was. We loaded up on fresh fruit and pickles and left happy.
