Famous Market Deli

I’ve lived a few blocks from this place for over 10 years and I just now finally got to run in here and see what they have. I was surprised on how big it was, for some reason from the outside I would have thought is was much small inside…. They do have a decent amount of items like Pasta, Crackers, Butters, Bagels, Candy, Soups and more. Most of the items seem to be more of a kosher basis. Like Huge row of Motza Crackers and Specialty’s for the Jewish Holidays and meals. My fav items here have become the Salt & Pepper Motza Crackers and their 6 Pack of fresh bagels, which has the best price, and the bagels are huge! Not to mention the lady who is at the register is always so nice to us and is always thankful that we were masks 😷 in the store. They also have a huge counter in the back where they make fresh salads and sandwiches and even have some hot items too! Overall I will keep going here to get certain items because the price is good and the friendly service makes all the difference!

At least once a week I go to this establishment, primarily for the deli section, although I also buy other products. Usually there are two servers behind the deli counter. One of them refuses to wear his mask over his nose and mouth, but rather below his chin. When asked to put it on properly he says it’s not mandated. So I ask for the other server. Today, unfortunately, he was the only person behind the counter, without any mask at all. When I asked if there was anyone else who could help me the answer was no. So I walked out. There are a number of items that I prefer to get there, even though some items are not inexpensive, but I refuse to have someone breathing on my food (Covid isn’t over!) and will not shop there unless there is someone to serve me who wears a mask. Too bad because I tell everyone how much I like to go there. Looking for another place.

I live basically a few blocks away and use this mini market for super quick, " insert item needed" runs. This place is a bit pricey but nothing crazy, again I just use occasionally when I forget half and half or I need a loaf of bread, the place is clean and orderly they offer a decent selection of products the dates have always been good on the milk and half and half I haven't had anything from the deli section but I have bought quite a few of the cookies and a few other kosher goodies they have, Hebrew national kosher salami or hot dogs cold cuts frozen food, basically a bit of everything. This place is fantastic if you need specific kosher products, they also carry everything you could need for Passover and other Jewish holidays. It's clean and the staff are friendly and the lady at the register is very nice as well.

2 weeks ago I bought several items from the deli area including a small jar of Acme herring in cream sauce. When I opened the jar it had oily residue and tasted funky. After carefully looking at the jar lid, it had an expiration date of JUN 1 2021. Today is Aug 2, 2021. I spoke to someone and he said without the receipt he could not give me credit and refused to take it back. I only had one charge in July from the Famous Deli and would not accept that as proof! I did not keep the receipt for a couple of deli items. He said I must have bought the jar a long time ago. FALSE! The $4.99 was not going to break me but now it's the principle! What lousy customer service they have.

My mother bought a bottle of wine there. Opened it, tasted it just a little, it was acid, turned to vinegar. Tried to return it, with receipt, and was told by the clerk that no store ever takes back opened battles. We were not told that it was the policy of the store when we bought it, although clerk insisted that we were told. I know she did not tell us. I decided to look it up online. Not true. Wine sellers advise to take the wine back for a refund or store credit. Not returning there again.
