I ordered a cheeseburger deluxe with a snapple. The food was 30 min late and did not receive the snapple I paid for. The service was horrible.

Shelves were empty and prepackaged food was overpriced compared to other corner stores (Amy's organic soup for 5.50$ vs 3$). We stopped in on a Sunday so the hot bar was not up. The deli was running but no soup was offered which is what I was looking for.

The Senior cook is rude and disrespectful. Seems like he makes a lot of mistakes because I ordered a breakfast platter, and he left out the bacon. I then checked my receipt and saw that I had paid the same amount as I had a few days ago when I ordered the same order with bacon. I went back and told them the bacon had been left out and the cook became defensive and aggressive and said that wasn't true. When I told him I paid the same price I had paid days earlier for a platter with bacon he said it was the same price and that they don't charge extra for the bacon. Really, bacon is free?? That's why they charged me +4 dollars for a bacon order weeks earlier. When the cook said I was lying, I asked him how he had the nerve to say that, and he went on a strange barrage of comments, insults and even mumbled "at least I don't use drugs." It was so bizarre. Including some in Spanish. I assume he didn't know I spoke Spanish, otherwise it would mean that he meant to insult me to my face. I've been a patron of the store for years. Never going back.

Food is fresh & halal.. but though it says on the door “open 24/7” it’s not true.. it’s deceiving.. frustrating & inconvenient.. people who takes the order don’t speak good English therefore I have to repeat at least 3 to 4 times.. lady behind the counter “Elizabeth” & the gentleman “Hassan” are wonderful people. I reckon they’re the reason people keep coming back. A message to the owner..”if your not open 24/7 then take it down it’s misleading”

That’s really so bad place I got order 2 Acai bowl for today Even though they sent the wrong order, they also raise their voices at me. I will definitely complain to the relevant authorities.

The hot bar wasn't spectacular, and the lack of labels was confusing, but the service is great - the man at the counter was very kind.

You can get a good lunch and a coffee for under $10 here which feels like a rarity in LIC! The staff are very kind and there isn’t usually much of a wait. A counter where you can eat too. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options.

Ordered one of their popular sandwiches, the House Breakfast. It is a beef bacon, egg, hash brown and cheese on a roll. It is really good! The beef bacon is definitely a better choice, great taste and crispy! I do recommend asking for extra sauce, makes it even better.
This is THE bodega near queensboro plaza. It's not ideal for grocery shopping, but if you want a decent, fresh egg and cheese sandwich at 7 am or 2 am, or any time in between, this is the place. I haven't tried the buffet, since that doesn't really seem like the point--there's a deli counter of great, hardworking guys cranking out sandwiches, burgers etc. The staff are delightful as well. This is a classic neighborhood bodega, a Platonic form.

Olive's will always have a special place in my heart. I stop by whenever I can in the mornings for that BEC on a plain bagel. The staff is honestly great and very efficient. I have never been disappointed by olives ever since moving here. It's convenient and delicious. What more can you ask for?

Olives Organic Market has a great selection of fresh groceries and hot food, friendly staff, and great location. The store even has camel milk from Camel Culture - very healthy and tasty!

Please check the expiration dates on the products!!!!! Multiple experiences where they have expired goods for sale. Would not go back if it wasn't open till late and out of convenience.
