Jin’s Big Apple

I will almost always support the local fruit and veg grocer over a super market. Why? Lord knows how long supermarkets leave their produce hanging out. Jin’s produce is very high quality. Albeit organic and about 50 cents more but I would do quality over quantity any day. Their broccoli and kale are legitimately so fresh and beautiful.
I also bought oranges for an unheard of 3 for $ 1 and they were candy sweet! Yes this isn’t a whole foods when it comes to very specific varieties but I love the people who work here! They always smile whenever I come by because I like to bring my own shopping bags. I can’t vouch for the stuff that’s in the aisles because I’ve only bought produce. It’s nice to see a healthy place in the neighborhood.
FYI — avocados are $ 1 each and they’re allllll equally perfectly ripe. They are conveniently located by the register.

Excellent service, better price than conventional grocery, excellent selection of organic, natural, and ethnic foods.

One of my Woodside organic store spots! I love that they have a huge variety of organic products. This one is located under the 7 train on Roosevelt Ave. There is another organic store on 61^st between Roosevelt and Woodside Ave but it’s a quarter of the size and the selection is small. I don’t leave here without picking up a bag of yogurt covered raisins. How could I not there right there on the checkout counter. Yummy

This is my favorite market in Woodside. ²⁴⁄₇ & they are SO good to their customers! Best produce in Woodside and healthy snack options.

Welcomed as I walked in and found a nice selection of products in this neighborhood spot, will be in my normal rotation for the 10% of meals we don’t eat out.

good food market, actually considering that we are in queens or even better in woodside and considering what you can find around here… this is a great food market. more rustic than corporate, definitly not for the hipsters.

I love this place but wish I could give more stars. Unfortunately, the shelves are filled with expired or near-​expired stock. Especially the boxed stuff. As others have pointed out, they have a great selection of dried fruits and nuts, and are the only organic place in the hood. So they’re a nice alternative when you want something like a coconut milk creamer. Just be sure to check the dates on everything.

I went here by accident but it was a really nice find. The produce was fresh and moderately priced. I think, though, what made the experience worth it was how sweet the people working there were.

I go here ALL the time! Love the selection! Very friendly staff too!

Jin’s is a wonderful local alternative to Whole Foods. They have a decent selection of cereals, chips, drinks, stocks, cookies, etc. The organic fruit can be a tad pricey, but what I save on other products more than evens it out. They used to have okay sushi but I haven’t seen it for about a year now. The people there are really nice and every once in a while the super friendly shop cat makes an appearance. I’ve been lucky enough to find beautiful bunches of garden roses here for $ 10! My only complaint it that I’ve brought groceries home to occasionally find an expired product, so just check the dates.

I like this place but the fruit is hardly ever good

This is a cute little shop for fellow Woodside residents. They have a lot of organic produce but I mostly come here for their large assortment of dried fruit and their loaves of whole wheat bread (no high fructose corn syrup) that are cheaper than the local supermarket in the area.

Decent produce store conveniently located near the 61^st train station.
They have a nice fresh fruits and vegetable section. In addition their organic/​health section is quite expansive. Nice dried fruits and nuts. Reasonable prices. A good place to pick up some snacks for the day.

This place is great! They have recently remodeled slightly and are now offering more variety with a focus on organics, which I personally appreciate. I would say the organic produce here is less expensive than both Whole Foods and Fairway and it’s a few blocks away from me, so I feel lucky to have it. AND it’s open 24 hours!

This small supermarket offers a lot of organic fruits and foods. Their foods and fruits are more expensive compare to the other supermarkets in the area. Most supermarkets in the area offer a box of strawberries for 1 – 2 dollars but at this supermarket it about 5. However, this supermarket offers organic, so this is the reason for the price difference. They also sell a variety of flowers. You need to make a minimum of $ 10 to use a credit card.

Good location right off the 7 train. Definitely the only grocery I go to in Woodside. The staff is always very friendly and helpful and the food is good quality. I had a problem with some fruit going bad the next day — I was able to exchange it with no problem. I normally just get my groceries delivered, but this spot is perfect to be able to pick something up on the fly. The prices are on par with any other organic grocery.

Gritty & Open 24 hours

Probably the only organic market in our area. They always have a great selection of dried nuts, fruits and fresh produce. I usually get a good dose of mochi icecream from here as well.

OCD Organic spotters might not find the same quality of Whole Foods type produce here, but for being one of the only «clean produce» spots in Woodside, it does the job just fine. People feeling or looking to get their health on in the middle of Queens, this is a spot that is right next to the train.
The layout isn’t the most friendly, sometimes smaller fruits /​veggies get moved to different spots at a moment’s notice. It’s interesting to see some of the patrons here — who usually don’t look like they’re locals to the hood. I think one reason that is pretty evident right away is the price. It’s never cheap going organic, but as the saying goes, *when it comes to your health* a higher price tag is worth the trouble.
When there is layout changes, the staff is usually friendly enough to point out where the new lemons and kiwi pile is currently located and are usually pretty fast about locating stuff for folks. There used to be more offered here than just produce like sushi and even waffles, but I haven’t seen those for quite some time.
For those wondering, would I rather Jin’s or Whole Foods? Since I’m not living in suburbia with a car, I’m going to go with Jin’s. The quality is there, the price tag feels a bit steep but is warranted for some produce, and the people are nice. With the inventory constantly changing to make way for new and fun stuff, means there will be repeat visits down the line.

i like that the staff are always friendly and they’re open late. i think they recently renovated and revamped the place b/​c they now offer gluten free products, especially key asian ingredients like noodles and soy sauce. i easily can shop for key items, including fresh produce. i recently tried out their gluten free waffles. *yum! grab yourself a jar of almond butter from trader joes, topped with banana and honey and you’ve got yourself a hearty breakfast =P
i live in the area, so i’ll definitely continue to shop at jin’s. don’t really know who jin is, but thanks for carrying gluten free stuff =)
