Mr.Kiwi

I have been shopping at Kiwi for nearly 20 years. I will not any longer, and I will push friends to reconsider as well. I finally started taking note of their frequent price hikes and it's clear to me that this is not a business that is invested in preserving the community that has supported its growth. Please consider shopping at Horseraddish Market which is literally 4 blocks away. Since COVID I just assumed Kiwi's never-ending hikes were just a reality of selling healthier foods in an expensive market like NYC. I was shocked to discover Horseraddish--a store with far less foot traffic and visibility in our neighborhood--selling the same items as Kiwi and Food Town for sometimes several dollars less. Clearly it's possible, and we should be supporting businesses that are trying. Kiwi's produce pricing isn't terrible, but it's not that great either...and it's rarely organic or fresh. Things spoil quickly, as if Mr. Kiwi can't quickly sell through their stock. Horseraddish has organic and sustainable options that are significantly cheaper. BUT...the price gauging of staples is completely unacceptable. The prices of milk, coffee, cereal, eggs, etc at Kiwi should be illegal, and I will be sending a complaint to Julia Salazar's office about price gauging at this location. It may not be a crime yet in this city, but what a perfect example of why it should be. We need to push back against businesses who are taking more from our neighborhood than they are contributing. I encourage everybody who cares about our community to make better choices. It's a shame.

Limited supplies and expensive. Great, if you’re in a hurry. There’s a Food Bazaar a few feet away on Myrtle, with a greater variety and better pricing. Good luck!

They offer reasonable prices. The only negative is not being offered an itemized receipt. When I returned the next day, and went through the printed receipt, I was confused about what item cost what. All produce items are labeled as produce, so you have to pay attention before paying, and document, or take pictures.

If you like cooking healthy and like to save money, this is the spot. The produce outside is the cheapest you can find anywhere. But make sure you cook it fast after you buy if. There’s more produce inside but a little more expensive, still cheap overall. Shelves are stocked with pasta, canned food, condiments, pet food, and house supplies. The beer fridge is pretty impressive. They’re well known for their juice bar as well. There’s a section for grab and go food such as sushi, salad, lots of vegetarian options.

the bachelor fruit brothers run this city and there’s no doubt about them having the best prices on the best produce you can find in the city. the juice is made to order with whatever you’d like and everytime i go i find something im impressed with and can’t wait to take home and munch on. love this place.

Fruits, veggies,smoothies, anything you are looking for, with REASONABLE PRICES , best part open 24 hrs is an A+

Great prices on produce and eggs. Other things are standard high BK prices. High quality selection. Juice bar!
