I really love Union Market and it's been my go to for weekly food shopping since they opened this location on Court Street.
It's not for everyone, as it only has a limited selection for each type of product but that's exactly why I prefer it, they have exactly what I want without the distractions, it's perfectly curated to feature the best tasting products in each category (in my opinion anyways) which makes shopping there a breeze, things are well laid out and easy to get to without having to browse through endless ailes with 50 varieties of cereal or paper towels. That means I get everything on my weekly list, from staples to gourmet specialities in under 20mins which is virtually impossible in larger supermarkets.
In addition to the great selection, the staff is courteous and friendly, the location is always clean and well organized and as a bonus they play good music !
On the downside, it can get a little tight when it's busy and as mentioned you won't find certain products that are common in other supermarkets like big name cleaning supplies or cereal but if you're ok with that I thinks it's well worth the trade off.
Prices are also a higher than your average supermarket but not unreasonable for New York city and still well under Whole Foods prices.
Keep up the good work...

Fresh fish counter, fresh meats, cured meats, high quality canned goods, a vast display of coffee, lovely organic and gluten free pastas. Basically, as we walked along every aisle, I was Wowing, and my son was laughing at me! At least he said we were on the same page with the yoghurt!! They also have coffee machines, a small take out area, and a fresh...
Read moreWe live in the hood. We find the staff of our Union Market (Court Street) very pleasant and helpful. This Union Market has a good selection of cheeses and other products. Their stuff in our judgement is good.
Yes, pricey indeed but again good selection of quality high end products. We find it worth it for stuff not available other where in the vicinity and/or after hours as shop opens early and closes late.
Our only beef -- their baguettes are kept, for sanitary reasons, in paper sleeves which make them chewy by end of the day!
The baguettes shuld be kept behind the counter (away from people) and place in a paper sleeve only at time of purchase. This will guarantee...
