Bahamas Deli & Grocery

Dirty isn’t the word… This deli is absolutely DISGUSTING!!! Not only did I order a salad and find a BUG in it, but they have bugs crawling in the floor and walls! The milk and other dairy products they keep in the fridge are expired and there is a cat that is always running around the store (probably for the rats). Never ever eat here. I even used my debit card here and was charged 3X what the actual price of the meal was… it’s clear that they scheme and try to scam customers and steal their money!!! It is simply ridiculous! The employees are so rude, lazy and do not care about their customers. They are incredibly disrespectful and sexually harass women. They have been know to be confrontational and even violent with the customers. There are several other delis in the area that are much better choices. If you decide to buy anything from this deli just know you have been warned!!!

It’s a great deli place! Definitely try their sandwiches. They sell some Asian instant noodles as well, which is great news if you like that.

Open 24 hours in a neighborhood where nothing is. Their sandwiches are tasty, and the chips and junk food selection is comprehensive and even includes some international treats. A breakfast sandwich and coffee is $ 3, and they don’t skimp on fillings. Not a spot I would travel a distance to visit, but if you’re in the neighborhood, this will fulfill your needs.

This is a horrible business. I was refused entry with my service dog, a clear violation of FEDERAL LAW and these thugs yelled at me and my dog. I would suggest no one patronize this low level and ignorant establishment.

A little tip– if you use credit card the same items mysteriously cost $ 1 more. If you ask them about it they say it’s «tax.» Use cash and save a dollar.

I really appreciate this place. They’re open 24/​7, and the food is made quickly and cheaply. I typically got a good breakfast from here for under $ 3.
Plus, the guys working there are almost always very friendly to me.
Not a huge selection, but they have the basics. Great for the morning rush, great for midnight munchies.

Running, running…
Running, running…
Aren’t New Yorkers always running to be somewhere? Well that was my morning! I was running late because of a Metrocard mishap (read, extra fares & needing to talk to the station booth person?!!) so my leisurely walk turned into a scram-​fest. On cue… .my stomach grumbles. SHIT. I forgot to eat breakfast. I needed a quick pick me up breakfast before I accidentally rip someone’s head off for crossing paths with me. And of course, in a very New Yorker fashion, this exchange needed to be as quick as possible… Enter into the picture Bahamas deli– it wasn’t very busy and the breakfast menu was pretty standard and the dude spoke English. Awesome. Order me a $ 3 sausage, egg and cheese on a toasted roll. In and out of there in 5 minutes.
I am a happy camper. The sammich fit the bill today! Could be a good place to drop in when I need an emergency breakfast.

Good score for being open 24/​7, having hummus, nuts and healthy protein shakes. Hot foods to be avoided (go Chinese or Arabic across La Salle). Guys inside are funny though they sometimes behave and sound like the Lebanese mafia.

It’s always open and has the basic essentials … I came here around 1am one night and the place was still pretty crowded.
I find it a little funny, however, how the guy behind the register will literally watch you as you shop … well more freaky actually =\.
None-​the-​less, if I’m passing through this side of the area … then this is a good place to stop at to get what you need. But for the majority of the time Apple Tree is the place for me!

My friend lives a block or so away, and this is his favorite deli so we come here often. I think he is mostly amused by the name, because it is an otherwise average place. Just what you’d expect — sandwiches and bodega-​worthy groceries at typical prices.

This is really just your average bodega, but they usually have iced coffee available and it is pretty much the only bodega I’ve been to around here where I can shop without getting hit creepily on by the men who work there. Once in a while one of the employees at Bahamas will try to get away with it, but most of the time they are pretty professional, and the owner is always very nice and un-​creepy. Sadly, this alone puts it way above the other bodegas in the neighborhood, and it’s the only one I feel comfortable going into.

‘Tis what it should be. Typical NY deli/​grocery open late/​always with a decent smattering of items you can grab quickly. Just grabbed a sixer and some candy here, average experience. Quite a few similar stores along the strip but I’m sure they do OK. Nice enough service and average prices, nothing special, nothing horrid.
