Khims Millenium Market IV

I love this place always friendly good selection of healthy foods

Do NOT go here. I moved to the area a few months ago and TWICE the bread products I have brought back have erupted with mold within a day of buying them. In one instance I didn’t notice the mold in time and got sick from it. Their fruit is also old and disgusting. I couldn’t find a fresh apple or pepper when I went in this week.
I went in person and politely told the manager about the mold in their pita bread (and their english muffins, apparently) and he rebuffed me with no apology. I told him specifically what product it was and saw no change in their stock or supply of it. Other bread products I’ve brought home from other locations have been fine.
They obviously do not give a shit about the quality of the products they are selling and are banking on the relative food desert in this area.

This place is great! Here’s why:
1. It’s open ²⁴⁄₇
2. It’s one of the few places in the neighborhood to get everyday organic, vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian products
3. It has REALLY good salads and other ready-​made meals — for cheap! ($ 5-​$ 6 for a salad, $ 6-​$ 7 for decent sushi)
4. Good selection of produce, beer, snack items, etc. I also got some amazing brie here, from France (I love Trader Joe’s, but apparently they know nothing about brie, and that it is not supposed to be hard).
5. It’s clean, organized, well-​lit, and they have nice plants out front.
–1 star because in comparison to other organic places, I think they’re slightly overpriced. The raw coconut water (delicious, by the way), is $ 0.50 cheaper at Azure on Montrose and Humboldt.
I honestly think people on Unilocal like to write negative reviews because somehow being negative suggests you’re more critical, and therefore more intelligent. Ridiculous. If you’re giving a place 1 star solely on the basis of it enforcing a policy about credit cards (regardless of whether or not it’s valid), then you haven’t provided a comprehensive or holistic review, and you’re not helping anyone. You’re just complaining — take that negativity somewhere else, please.

A large, clean store with plenty of organic/​natural and vegan specialty foods, eco-​friendly bath, body and cleaning items and flowers. Pricey but it’s very conveniently located near the Montrose L stop, open 24 hours a day and they accept credit cards including American Express. Not worth a special trip unless you are already in the neighborhood and you need something in pinch to complete a recipe or don’t have time to trek to a more reasonably priced place. (For better prices on everyday groceries, there’s always the traditional grocery store Food Bazaar on Manhattan/​Varet but it’s a little out of the way.)

This place is fine.
I can’t help but chuckle at the person who complained about the music. Last time I checked people don’t go to a grocery store to check out the hottest new tracks. Wear headphones. Oh, and businesses reserve the right to refuse anyone service so don’t be a brat with your credit cards. It costs them money to swipe your dad’s AMX.
/​bitchy review
Take poorly written or overly cynical reviews with a grain of salt. This place is open 24/​7, it’s lit well, and they are politely neutral with everyone. I love how I can buy fresh herbs right around the corner and my boyfriend always buys me flowers from here.
It’s no Azure Gourmet, but it suits me just fine.

Of the many Khims we have opening all over the neihborhood this one is by far, hands down, the worst. I expect to pay two dollars more than I should from Khims cause that is just how they roll. So when I am desperate for some food item and they are close and still open I cave in and go. I’ve attempted to buy bread from this Khims location twice. Both times I thought it was really peculiar that the expiration date was nowhere to be found on ANY of the bread packaging (do they wipe it out with mineral spirits or something.) So it was no surprise that the bread grew mold literally the day after I brought it home. Thanks for the moldy six dollar bread Khim’s!
Also, it would be so cool to have a place to go to in this area for great sandwhiches, and even though there is a sandwhich counter at this Khims, they alas do not serve sandwhiches.

I tried to make a purchase for about $ 8 and was denied because of a $ 10 credit card minimum. Usually this is not a problem since it is a violation of the merchant agreement with the card processor and most establishments know it.
Khims not only refused to remove the minimum after I explained the rules, but also refused to give me any information to talk to a manager. I was forced to file a complaint with Master Card. F for customer service.
They lost me as a customer and at least the $ 4 difference in other transactions from customers who gave up while I asked about their policy. Loose, loose.

This store is great, its open 24/​7, and has items that are actually a little hard to find. My cat is on a special diet and I really appreciate that they sell Halo pet food. I also love Pirates Booty and sea weed snacks, both which are on sale for $ 2.99, which I think is great.
They have awesome salads, (Totally recommend The Bushwick or The Montrose) for $ 6. Six dollars people!!! In the city I’m luckly if I could get anything decent to my liking under $ 12.
I’ve come to the conclusion that people in my neighborhood are just waaaay to picky/​fussy/​spoiled? WTF is up with some of these reviews? I mean no one is forcing you to be vegan/​vegetarian or eat healthy food. You know there is a Key Food not too far away. If things are that tough for ya, I heard they’re having a sale on mac n cheese… two for $ 1!
For now though I’ll choose to spend that extra dollar or two so that my cat doesn’t get another urinary track infection and… well you know… die. I’ll eat that nice totally under priced salad so that I can fit into my jeans… thankyouverymuch!
Khims…I appreciate you.

In the new millennium, which will be spelled millenium because of an «n» shortage, food prices will be so high globally, that what this store charges will seem sensible.
I never thought I’d say this, but I wish a whole foods would come to Williamsburg just to show Khim he doin it wrong.

I use this store because it is around the corner from my apartment. There is absolutely no reason to go here otherwise. Here’s why:
The produce is rarely fresh. I have bought moldy onions (they looked fine until you cut into them).
The store layout makes no sense. Why is the tuna with the produce? Why are milk, cheese and yogurt located in opposite ends of the store?
The prices are outrageous.
They are always playing awful music that invariably gets stuck in your head.

Always clean and well organized store although prices on some items are too high. I never buy fruit and veggies there

The best things about this store are: 1) it has a great selection of ‘natural’ and vegetarian products; and 2) it is open 24 – 7. The employees are nice as well. Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other reviewers — it is way too expensive. Thus, I usually go to Mr. Kiwi’s on Broadway at Myrtle. Having said that, they do have almost everything I could ask for and it is a very pleasant place to shop, i.e. not crowded, neatly organized, virtually no line ever, etc. So I will continue to go here as long as I am in the neighborhood (but I will usually pick Mr. Kiwi’s over Khims).

Ugh, I hate the high prices. Wish a real grocer would come into the neighborhood and knock them out!
However, I find myself shopping here for a decent meal in the wee hours, so I’ll rate it two.

Stroopwaffels, Ciao Bella and Udon at 2am is exactly why I put up with Khim’s prices. Sure I could wait on the line at Whole Foods in Union Sq on the way home but I would be paying the same amount for the Applegate Herb Turkey — which is bomb by the way.
Sometimes on the way home from being out, the girlfriend and I will grab a salad with chicken in it and some ciabatta and make a good sandwich. She loves it that you can use a credit card here.
Khim’s has a great variety of healthy, organic and ethnic food from Morning Star to delicious sausage. Beer selection is tip top. Dessert possibilities are huge. And they are close to the subway. See you on my way home from a bad day at work.

This place is great. Although it is over priced it carries great health and vegetarian options which is hard to find in this area. They are totally cool with you shopping with your dog and you are ALWAYS greeted with a hello/​smile. Plus they are open ²⁴⁄₇ so its great for a healthy late night snack.

Let’s be realistic here. This place has an enormous selection and it’s open 24 hours, yet it probably doesn’t have a lot of foot traffic or high gross sales. While the prices are steep, they seem somewhat justified. This is not a bodega, or a Key Foods, or a Whole Foods. This is a boutique grocery store with boutique prices in a neighborhood that probably prefers a good deal over an organic product.
I personally can’t justify an $ 8 bottle of organic orange juice, but who’s to say the next guy in line doesn’t find that to be really important. That’s what this store is about. If you’re looking for the best deal this is the wrong place. If you want to go in and just know the store is going to have your item at any time of the day, this is the place.

This store is literally less than a minute’s walk from my apartment, but I just discovered it yesterday! So glad I did. There’s really nowhere else in the area that has a good natural/​organic food selection and they’re open ²⁴⁄₇! Sometimes it’s too late at night (or I’m too lazy) to walk to Key Foods or take the subway to Sunac on Lorimer, and that’s when Khims will come in handy.

I’m happy there are Khim’s erecting all over the the place. Groceries are generally piss poor in Brooklyn, making these rapaciously over-​priced (but quality minded) joints more precious.
This location is expanding, and erecting many new aisles of specialty, imported, and organic brands at inflated prices. They’ve easily tripled their size and within days of this posting will resemble the location on bedford.
Watch out for expiring goods, especially from the coolers and buy produce at produce markets. Khim’s is strictly for coconut water, ginger beers, imported Korean ramen, Greek yogurt, and 3am desires to stare at a dizzying array of nuts and dried fruits.

A note about economic justice:
Dear Khims,
You should accept food stamps. It’s just the right thing to do.

I love the idea of Khims, but the reality is a very disappointing. Yes they do carry a good selection of organic brands and some decent looking produce. But their prices are ridiculously high and the the «organic» produce rots the very next day, just like the ‘almost out the door’ stuff from the other bodegas.
I recommend walking down to Key Food.
