Wish there would be more supermarkets/convenience stores in the area! Love Food Cellar and their products but I don't want to spend $50 on three things each trip. Clean and new-parent friendly~
Like other tips, it IS expensive. But I crave watermelon all the time and this is the best place to get it around here. Get their scamorza pizza- fresh ingredients! Chicken thai chilisandwich is yum.
Food cellar Market is a high-quality, Gourmet style, full-size, full-service Supermarket with prepared foods & great salad bar. A must see if you're in Long Island City near the Waterfront.
Their buffet is good, great saladassortment, and the sandwiches and pizzas are really good... They also have a sitting area, and their gourmet groceries are nice... Great cheeseassortment!
Food Cellar is the place to go if you're looking for high quality food and friendly staff. Although on the pricier side of things, once you try their fruit all your troubles will vanish.
Even pricier than Whole Foods. I come here just for the salad bar and get my beverages at Duane Reade. Staff is nice. I wish they would tell people in the dining are to shut off their speakerphones
Don't think of as a full-service grocer. Then you won't expect competitive prices, quality produce or a good selection. Just think of it as a convenient place to buy fancy stuff.
Learn how to bag your own groceries before coming here, and go to C-Town or Pathmark for nonspecialty items. Otherwise, pizza is pretty great and makes a good late-night take out.
Try some Old Amsterdam Cheese the next time you hit the Food Cellar -- we make the perfect aged Gouda. Find out more at our website - http://oldamsterdam.com
Overpriced, but convenient if you live in LIC or are headed to the waterfront. Definitely hit the cheese counter and pick up some of the homemade cookies if you're going.
The Foodcellar is unlike any specialty grocery or natural food store you have ever been to. We believe food is wonderful in its simple most natural state.
