Azure

Pretty good assortment. Variety of groceries and snacks. Only drawback is the min 10 $ for card payments.

Outstanding gem of a grocery store in our neighborhood. A wonderful spread of high quality products, and even a decent little array of produce! Wonderful! So grateful that they are here!

The best bodega in the world.
I pretty much think of the employees as family. Everyone is SO nice.
Good quality stuff.
All the deli food is great. Best breakfast wrap = el Tigre deal Norte. Best sandwich = the moon night.

This is one of the few groceries/​bodegas in the area of high quality. They have everything from vegan, gluten-​free, organic, etc. products The space incredibly immaculate and organized and everything is so easy to find.
Their sandwiches/​wraps are incredible and the portions are so generous for the price. They have gluten free options for their sandwiches too. I highly recommend any of their breakfast items. I haven’t tried anything else yet.
I go out of my way to go to Azure. It’s a bit expensive, but it’s so worth it.

Great sandwiches and food!
Great variety of healthy selections!
Downside is extremely expensive and inflexible with credit card minimum. If Brooklyn café can have a no minimum with the cheapest prices in the neighborhood you would think these guys could at least make the minimum $ 5.
The guys that make the sandwiches are very nice. The older man that works the register at night is a bit of a grumpy old man.
I would really love to give these guys more stars but I feel like their customer care could greatly improve. I keep going back for the good food though.

Favorite corner store in the world. Sandwiches are great and pretty big for the price (also made ²⁴⁄₇ which is big), great range of grocery items that aren’t cheap, but really aren’t any worse than Whole Foods pricing (for what that’s worth). I live around the corner, and for me the convenience balances out the price if I need something without traveling much farther out of my way.
People who work there are great. If you live nearby, you’ll be in often, and they’ll get to know you pretty fast. Strike up some conversations, they’re neat people.

I’m staying down the street from this place and I am so glad it’s there! I have Celiacs and am dairy free so the plethora of GF and vegan products is great. I also was able to eat an amazing gluten free sandwich from the deli there without getting sick! The guy who makes the sandwiches is super friendly and I love that they’re open 24 hours. They are a little on the pricey side but that’s because they are gluten free, organic and vegan products — those aren’t cheap anywhere. Pretty comparable to a Whole Foods just a slight markup for being a small bodega. The sandwiches, however, are a steal — I haven’t been able to get a sandwich with that much meat for 8.00 ANYWHERE in the country!

I’m one picky girl and this is the best deli I’ve ever had the pleasure of living next to. Best deli and best healthiest deli! Staff friendly ass hell!!! I love yuri and his late team but I also love the morning team as well!

Friendly staff and a nice little selection of snacks, dry goods, drinks, beer and other assorted items. ²⁴⁄₇!

Its basically a mini-​whole foods, with healthy/​specialty snacks/​groceries catering to vegan/​gluten-​free needs. I’ve gotten sandwiches here, the best quality and vast in selection. It is pricey but when every other bodega on my street only has shredded lettuce and crappy tomato slices and white wheat rolls… I come here for actual veggies added to my egg/​cheese on a roll!
They take cards but there’s a 10 dollar minimum. They’re clean, well stocked and organized. I think they’re ²⁷⁄₇ and they have a giant wall of yogi/​organic teas and coffee grinds.

Open ²⁴⁄₇ and carry very good products and produce. Right around the corner from my cousins place and a great place to swing by for anything. Credit card minimum is 10 bucks which I understand because credit card companies destroy merchants.
Cliff notes great place to drop in and grab healthy groceries.

Open 24/​7, always friendly if you’re friendly first! The produce selection is pretty dope for a bodega, and they NOW SELL BEER! Great selection on last minute «oops I forgot at the grocery store» staples like milk, breads, and cereals. There sandwiches are sooo tasty! Def worth the stop and far above the rest of the bodegas around!

The most unique, yummy, and healthy late-​night snacks you’ll find– from packaged brownies to custom sub sandwiches.

This place is really convenient since I pass it on my way to and from the train.
It’s a bit overpriced though. I’ve picked up a few odds and ends when I don’t feel like going too far. Definitely would not do a full blown grocery shopping here.

Did you used to live off of Lorimer or Jefferson and miss Hana but don’t want to make the trek and don’t feel like talking to anyone on the phone for delivery (and now live off Montrose)? Talking on the phone is for suckers.
Azure is the solution to your problems. It has just as tasty and vegetarian friendly sandwiches.
Yeah it’s expnsive, but bourgie bodegas are… bourgie. If you want dirt cheap prices, go to a dirty bodega, believe me they’re everywhere. I do go to the closer, dirtier bodegas for things like cleaning supplies and beer… but not my sammies… oh no…
That’s it. Cheers.

I heart this place for the following reasons:
–it is family-​owned and all staff are friendly.
–it is spotless, always smells like cleaning products and the staff are always cleaning and straightening things (clean, organized places bring me inner peace)
–open ²⁴⁄₇
–the sandwiches are awesome. I only have the vegetarian and vegan ones (#1 fave is Hannah & Paul).
No real drawbacks but just FYI, the sandwiches are huge and, as a reminder, vegan does not equal low calorie. That was more a reminder for myself, as typing this makes me want a ‘Hannah and Paul’. Also, it’s a little too expensive for a major shopping trip (but who can handle the stress of going to Food Bazaar more than once every couple weeks? Not this lady) but they have all the basics that you would need to temporarily fill up your fridge.
TIP: They have ripe avocados behind the deli counter if you want to buy one.

THE OWNER/​CASHIER RACIALLY PROFILES, ILLEGALLY SEARCHES, AND GOES AS FAR AS TO PHYSICALLY ASSAULT PEOPLE (WOMEN) IN HIS STORE. HE’S SCUM, HIS BUSINESS IS DESPICABLE AND HE SHOULD NOT HAVE ONE.
On the afternoon of April 5^th, a friend and I entered the store to buy some medicine for my friends seasonal allergies. I had three leather bags on me that I planned on taking to the cleaners. Said friend asked the owner/​cashier for behind the counter medicine and throughout the entire transaction, he talked down to her and treated her like dirt. Nonetheless, she purchased the medicine and as she purchased the medicine, I noticed a product that I liked on the shelves behind him. But there were different brands and I wanted to compare the different brands so I asked him if he could take them down. While he was taking down the second and third, he aggressively (and insultingly) asked whether I was going to look or buy. Insulted, I told him to forget it, he can place them back and began to walk away. As I began to walk away, this «man» rounded the counter and followed me, called me to stop, and told me to open my bags. At that point I should’ve refused and called the cops, but I opened my personal purse and two EMPTY bags and allowed him to check inside of them.
But the insult doesn’t stop there.
Instead of an apology, he had the audacity to look me in my face and explain/​reason with me that my behavior was «suspicious» and I «looked like the type». I wonder what does «the type» look like:
Spanish?
Extremely insulted and belittled, I retaliated by knocking down the cookies and chips beside me. Now — I’m sure that the following events could have been avoided had I not done that, but the following (and previous) events should have never occurred in the first place.
After I knocked down the cookies and chips, he barreled towards me, grabbed me by my shoulders and slammed me into his door over and over again as he held it closed. As that happened, the friend that I was with ran to my defense and tried to fight him off of me and let go of the door, as I tried to do the same. When we were able to pry his hands off of me and the door, I made an escape, not realizing that I left my friend behind. She was able to escape a couple of seconds after I did, but before that, he turned on her and hit her in the chest and punched her in the face.
The cops were called. I was unable to charge him with assault because according to the NYPD, if you «destroy merchandise» (knock down cookies), a store owner has the right to «physically restrain» you. and slam you into a door a couple of times and punch your friend in the face. All that I was able to do was contact the Better Business Bureau and file a harassment complaint, but I’m not content and I will not be content until he no longer has a business.
He will continue to treat people this way as long as he has a consumer. He deserves none.

OMG… I went to this place last night to get some late night sandwiches and beer. My friend and I were walking around the store while the guy made our food and just pacing. Finally our food was done and went to pay and the guy at the counter ASKED TO LOOK IN MY BAG!!! Are you fucking kidding me??? We are PAYING for sandwiches, why would we be stealing something at your crappy piece of shit bodega? That is beyond disrespectful to accuse someone of stealing when we were just waiting for our food to be made. When I refused, he asked my friend and I to leave. Good riddance. Have fun with the wasted sandwiches you made and putting back our like 40 dollars worth of stuff that we were about to buy. I’ve never in my life been treated so poorly, especially from an ignorant grocer. Guy was out of his damn mind!!!

This is basically my favorite gourmet deli ever. Everything is always fresh and delicious. Azure also carries some really great products– vegan, veggie, and small organic brands. Jose makes the best sandwiches, with such care. One thing I love is that the staff seems to really embrace the neighborhood/​community… They treat everyone that comes in like a friend… When one of my roommates moved out of town, they noticed and said, «Where’s your other friend? She hasn’t come in a while!”– this rarely happens to me living in nyc where people are so transient.
While you can easily rack up a big bill here, it’s not as expensive as Whole Foods… If you need basic products you can go to food bazaar. But if you want a great sandwich or a special jar of pasta sauce, or almond butter, or salmon jerkey or veggie sausage… This is your place!

This place is a godsend for any hungry vegan that finds themself in Bushwick at 3am. I am frequently that person as I live in the neighborhood, am vegan, and am often coming home on the L at 3am.
They have a great selection of goods at the typical, if not a little on the pricey side: small selection of produce, organic and non-​organic packaged goods, beer, dairy, and dairy-​like products. I was impressed by their selection of Daiya and almond-​based cheeses. They also have a frozen and refrigerated case containing veg prepared foods.
The best part about this super clean 24-​hour bodega is that they have a menu of vegetarian and vegan deli sandwiches, most of which can be ordered at absurd hours of the day/​night. My favorite is the vegan chicken salad on a toasted roll with almond cheese and veggies. Hits the spot and is a pretty hearty deal for ~$ 6. Service is friendly at all hours of the day too, which is always a good thing. Did I mention they have a pretty solid selection of packaged vegan sweets? Yeah. Temptation!
