Luminescence Market — Restaurant in New York

They have great sandwiches and quesadillas. A few things need work...

99% of the groceries have no price. I don't buy what I can't see a price on and I'm not going to ask. Be transparent and I'll spend more money there. Yes, the credit card fee is annoying. I typically don't patronize places that pass their fees along to the customers. It's part of doing business. This place is very close to me though and has the 24/7 going for it. I watched someone behind the counter put what appeared to be raw meat on the grill and then with the same gloves made my sandwich. I reluctantly paid but ultimately never ate that sandwich. This doesn't make it a bad place but better training is needed. That was one time out of maybe 20 I've been there. Gloves don't matter though if you're using the same pair for everything.

Generally my experiences are good. The store is clean. Everyone is nice. I consider it a good add...

I’ve given this place multiple attempts. The last 2 times I ordered their vegan quesadilla and specifically asked if they used vegan cheese as the menu only says “cheese” when all other vegan ingredients will have the word “vegan” listed before it. Both times I was told, yes it’s vegan cheese. Both times, it was not vegan cheese! They do not use vegan cheese! Someone could also have a lactose allergy. It’s very easy for a vegan of many years to know when something is dairy, especially melted cheese. Today I got an Açaí bowl $10 for a serving less than a smoothie that only had half of a cut up banana as a topping when it specifically had “blueberry, kiwi, mango and banana” as toppings and also had tons of large ice cubes while the entire bowl was soupy?

Definitely will only be buying their store bought items for lunch or to Trader Joe’s instead.

Sorry for a harsh review but it’s...

I recently visited luminance market for the first time and I was completely blown away. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, with soft lighting and an inviting layout that encouraged lingering. The food products that were there were amazing. I recently got a Philly cheese steak and it was the star of the show. Every bite of my sandwich tasted fresh and flavorful, with perfectly balanced ingredients that showed real attention to detail. The staff were not only efficient but genuinely friendly, taking the time to offer recommendations and ensuring every customer felt valued. They had my order ready in record time, even during the busy lunch rush. Especially the one guy with the glasses is extremely welcoming and helpful with my orders. don’t miss out on this market. I’ll...
