Frequented the Jolly Harbour location and found almost everything we could ask for except fresh fish. We went to the vendor across the street for that.

Great selection of special products you cannot find anywhere else in this part of Brooklyn.

I am quite surprised to read some of the reviews. There is no way that EPICURIAN can be compared to any gourmet grocer. Staff helpful, pleasant. Stock--hmmmm. Nearly everything is exported thus buyers must pay nearly double for products...not management's fault, but we are not talking Whole Foods--apples and oranges. Prepared foods are only suitble for those who DO NOT care about their health. Not here. Fried everything / doesn't appear fresh. I had to pay US $11.00 for a small box of blueberries--maybe half a cup. Produce shelves are empty half of every week. The kicker is that there is NO competition on Antigua so EPI has a captive client base. Locals normally buy soda, cabdy bar and cheese sandwiches on big roll-as this is all most cn afford. Don't expect to find many common ingredients. It's not the fault of the opertion---it's run well, 7 days a week, but to find appealing food is rare. First, this is NOT a restaurant-it's a large grocery store. The reviews I have read are incorrect--I live nearby. Whomever wrote well stocked makes me wonder where they live as I;m certain they are tourists. Management as mentioned is excellent and willing to source products--but they rarely if ever arrive. Most of the Caribbean has the ame issues - but expect to spend much more than you are accutomed to for products or brands from Trinidad, So America and sometimes Canada.

If you have a fridge and space take a cab here to stock up. It has everything including wine at good prices. We bought cheese, crackers etc to snack on in our room and were pleased with the selection

This market has pretty much everything you'll need for grocery shopping/pharmacy and including liquor. Store is displayed nicely, and very clean. The not so good news (but expected, because this is an island market ) the prices are expensive. These are approximate prices based on US currency. BB tuna 3.50, DD coffee 13.00,1 lb bacon 26.00, 1 lb sliced cheese 9.00, lb pasta 3.00,1 case carona beer 40.00.... There are two locations that I am aware of, a smaller store in Jolly Harbour, great if youll be sailing for the week, as we did and a much larger store in St Johns. They also offer a service to cart your groceries to your vessel, which is very helpful. Overall, love this market!

expensive and well stocked. Your friends told you it's expensive here, now you get to experience the real island life

Same old story ongoing Yes its a big supermarket, but some times it feels like you buying at a local chinese supermarket. Visit this shop for over 2 years, price on shelve not always the same with cashier. The bread area is terrible, check always the date on the bread, there is always old bread from 4 days in the front and the new on the back...if you would like to sell your old bread make the price lower..i brought it up to one of the managers, there is no interest, they just like to sell old stuff, shame !

Burgers & fries are great, I highly recommend, beyond great fresh & hot! Fries are fresh cut too!

fresh bagels!

Great place to stock up before a picnic in Prospect Park. Slightly pricey, but good selection & sweet staff.
Since the renovation it's become an upscale deli with a larger selection than you'd expect from the size of the place. If you don't see what you need, ask. There's a good chance it's around somewhere.

Ask for the David classic: pepper turkey on ciabatta bread with veggies, pickles and jalapeños. Hold the cheese. Fatty
Angela Gonzalez
Great sandwiches but don't bother with the chicken cutlets. It tasted like a microwaved patty :(

I collapsed here the day before yesterday because I was sick! All the guys were very helpful and sent one of their staff with me to make sure I got home all right!
