C-Town Supermarket

This C-​Town doesn’t quite deserve the low ratings it’s receiving on Unilocal,yet it doesn’t quite deserving anything much higher. When you walk into this C-​Town, you feel like you’re walking into an icicle. It may feel nice on these hot summer days, but it might also put you into shock.
The produce here is okay. It isn’t bad. The shelves are stocked with food. There isn’t a deli counter, which is a mild bummer. It’s also not very busy here, at least during the times I’ve visited, which is a major plus. C-​Town should satisfy most, but not all, needs in a pinch.

No hours posted anywhere and all of a sudden they yell CLOSING! At 6pm on a Sunday. There are those who care about their customers and those who don’t and clearly this grocery store does not. Also, I once found mold on my tropicana orange juice at this place. I hope NYC gets better customer service and lower rents or else living here will become increasingly like a punishment.

Good staples store. Produce is average but is getting better. Who doesn’t post their hours?

Shopping is limited on Washington ave. So that makes this place a necessary evil. Came here today for 3 items and they all rang up the wrong price but not in my favor usually theirs… be not afraid to correct them.

Whatever the incarnation of this supermarket is now, they seem to have cleaned up their act. No cat litter odors, very clean floors, and so on. There’s a balance of the variety of mainstream Americana and Caribbean products. Some of the latter being very hard to get items. They also have a decent beer selection, considering the small size of their beer shelf.

Gotta chime in here — most of the reviews here must refer to NSA’s earlier incarnation as C-​Town. These days, it’s clean, well-​lit, and a generally respectable supermarket. Lots of high-​end luxury foods it doesn’t have, but the produce, meat, and dairy are all fresh, and they’re well-​stocked with essentials. This is my go-​to place unless I need something particularly fancy.

Now, this place used to be a total dump. But they recently renovated inside and it’s not only much better looking, but it’s cleaner, and FREEZING cold inside. The ultra high powered coolers are putting a chill on everything and everybody.
But at least I feel like I’m willing to eat what they’re selling.
Don’t expect any personality from the cashiers though. Hurumph.

Now called NSA supermarket. It’s not the greatest store ever. It’s ok if I need to pick a few things up, but there are better stores within walking distance. My girlfriend won’t go here anymore because some dude always tries to dance with her. I guess he works there.

Congratulations, you just won worst grocery store EVER. Dirty, shady, bad/​extremely limited selection of everything. I’d be afraid I’d die of some sort of infection from eating the meat. The ice cream containers are ALWAYSS coated in ice and I’d be inclined to check the expiration date anything and everything I purchased here – which I won’t ever do again. I can’t forget to mention there is a funky smell throughout the entire store – it looks sooo run down.

Boy, this place fucking sucks. The whole thing smells like a fucking stink fish. It’s dirty in there and all of the food smells like stink fish. I always breathe through my mouth in here. Also, it’s expensive, like all of the fucking grocery stores in the area. It makes me want to go back to the food co-​op, and that’s not something I take lightly.
It has been getting more clean in here because of all the whities coming in. And the staff is really nice, esp. the nice check out ladies (only reason for 2 stars). But it doesn’t change the fact that even if you get soymilk or cinnamon toast crunch, it’s going to smell like a fish if you buy it from C-​Town.
When I moved in 4 years ago (it’s right next door) it always smelled like rotten vagina in the trash alley next door. Then we also live above a laundromat that you would think would make it smell better but no, it just smells like rotten vagina and dryer sheets.
