West 82nd Grocery

I am just dedicated to this supermarket. Getting evolved on Western 82^nd Food, I had been elevated on their own refreshing create and deliciously healthful meals. The folks that wok there as well as the family members that is the owner of it are extremely useful and truly great. At some point I get in there simply to say hello. This family members business offers any mindful customer using the ideal substitute for the wicked company which is Whole-​foods.

Love it’s closes by where I was born and raised back in 1981 and it has anything that an UWS person like me would shop at forever.

Bobby– only nighttime guy worth anything.

Always on time with delivery. Super friendly. Will deliver even for $ 7 !!! Rain or snow !! If someone has problem with them they need to move out of New York. You can’t find more friendly people in a NY deli anywhere!

Great flower selection. Was able to get TWO dozen roses for $ 12. So many color selections. One dozen roses are $ 8.

very friendly staff. decent selection of beer. reasonable prices. fast delivery. what more can you ask for?

Best deli on the UWS. The guys are so great– always smiling and remember the regulars. They also deliver beer, sandwiches, or whatever you may need at 1am!

Awesome peeps! Delivery anytime for anything. You guys rock.

Beer! I was headed to a party last night and needed to pick up beer. Unilocal did not steer me here, but they have a pretty good selection of singles and six packs. It will cost you though. A six pack of seasonal Blue Moon, seasonal Sam Adams, and Corona ran me $ 42. The cashier was very friendly.

Their Christmas trees are always well priced and last a long time! Plus they’re pretty much the best bodega around — possibly in the whole city. Amazing breakfast sandwiches (aka: hangover cures) and a great selection of drinks and snacks. Delicious lunch sandwiches too and SUPER DUPER friendly employees — especially the two Indian guys who work the counter. Totally worth giving them a smile

These guys are awesome! They’re super friendly. I went in looking for a vegetarian sandwich and, while they didn’t have one on their menu (all the pieces of paper taped to the display case/​wall), they whipped together something for me — avocado, onions, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and hot peppers! They remembered the next day and made it for me again.

I thought that all bodegas were like this considering it was the first one I went to when I moved to the UWS in June. Lets just say I’m spoiled now.
From the first few times we wandered into 82^nd Street Grocery, the guys behind the counter (our dear dear friends Mikey and Bobby) wanted to learn our names. My two other roommates and I laughed with them and said they’d better remember us. Oh boy did they.
We asked for more flavors of drinks, they got them. We told them that the layout of the store got you trapped, they rearranged. They’ve made me sandwiches when I can’t see straight at 3am and then joked with me the next night about it. They are legitimately the nicest two people I have met in this city yet. This bodega has more flavors of Ben & Jerrys than I’ve ever seen anywhere. There hasn’t been anything I’ve asked for that hasn’t shown up. I cannot believe that this is our bodega, I’m seriously really lucky.
God love Mikey and Bobby.

Nicest people EVER.
Sandwiches are good at all hours and reasonably priced. Other items are ehh price-​wise, but the service is absolutely top-​notch.
AND they deliver.
They slip a menu in your bag of the basics to order. Coffee, soda, breakfast sandwiches, chips, etc. (Minimum a mere $ 5.)
Every time I go in, there is always a smile on the guy behind the counter’s face. You’d be surprised at how much that makes an impact on your day.

I honestly think this is the best bodega in NYC. They’re super friendly, they have everything, and they make some of the best sandwiches.
I work right across the street, and am usually in at least twice a day…
Everything’s always stocked and clean, and you can tell they’re always doing their best to get you in and out as fast as they can.
They’re awesome.
I recommend the turkey club!

I knew this was the place when my girlfriend came back with Jhonny’s business card one night and said, «OMG, I love this place, Jhonny was so nice and he said next time, just call and he’ll deliver it, no problem!»
Well, Jhonny (I hope that wasn’t just a typo on your business card) is the man and so are his colleagues/​comrades/​sidekicks/​wingmen who work there. You name it, they have it and they’ll deliver it.
Roses for the lady on your way home? Always a great selection and two dozen for $ 10-​$ 12 depending on the market… no seriously.
Impromptu wine and cheese party without any crackers? Two boxes of Wheat Thins coming up for delivery.
Hurricane Irene on the way and realize you could use some good last minute snacks and emergency supplies with a copy of the Post? Of course, Jhonny is open still you silly goose.
Watching the MLB playoffs and realize your out of beer? Six pack of Sam Adams Octoberfest on the way from Jhonny and the guys.
Sunday and in need of quarters to finish your laundry loads? Just say pretty please with a pack of gum and Jhonny makes it happen.
Oh and the fact that it’s only three blocks from our apartment doesn’t hurt. Need I say more? Thanks.

There’s a reason why this run-​of-​the-​miss corner bodega has a string of five-​star reviews.
It’s the best bodega in the city.
Mike and Bobby, the guys behind the counter, always remember you and love to joke. They don’t judge, either. Show up drunk at 4am looking for a tuna melt? Of course you want a tuna melt. They don’t seem to mind if you tear through the freezer looking for the last container of Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. Hell, they’ll help you it. The food is just average, but isn’t that what you want? They make a mean sausage egg and cheese and an even better BLT.
The delivery is the fastest around, just in case you want that tuna melt and ice cream brought right to your door. They also deliver eggs, cleaning supplies, milk, toothpaste, soup — you name it, they’ll bring it.
Sometimes I think of excuses to hang out there and share a laugh with the guys behind the counter. It’s probably the most happening place on the Upper West Side.

Best deli ever! I completey agree with Brendon T. about the guys who work here. They are always friendly and engaging. The drunks roaming up Amsterdam seem to be very fond of their pleasant demeanors. They will make whatever sandwich you want at any time of night (unlike many delis in this city). I’ve had some pretty entertaining late night conversations with them!

Love this place, and I agree that the guys who are always — always — there at night are its best feature. Seriously, some fine restaurants’ managers could learn a thing or two about customer service from these guys — they’re always friendly, they remember you, they engage you in conversation but don’t intrude (and don’t judge you if you’re buying chips and salsa at 4:00AM), and they generally keep you coming back. I must say that I’m more likely to buy spare groceries and Sapporo pounders than I am to get deli, so I can’t comment on their food, but they still deserve a ‘5’.
