Blue Apron Foods

Do not use this service! Use HelloFresh instead! I was a customer for a couple months and only wanted to the recipes I was offered twice. However recently they decided to not honor my wish of keeping my delivery paused and charged me for one and then they shipped it out! I did NOT want this food, and when I sent and email and tried to call to complain I got NO response. I canceled immediately, but still out my money and have food I don’t want to cook.
I will not ever recommend this service to anyone. Not only the reason above, but didn’t like the packaging. It was a huge mess! And hard to keep track of things in the fridge. Also seafood was always thawed on arrival and tasted fishy.

I have been using Blue Apron approximately twice a month since summer 2015. Overall, I have loved most of the meals and ingredients. It is nice to have some fresh food to prepare after a long day at work and all I have to do is pull the ingredients out of my refrigerator. The reason I’m writing this particular review is because we just endured the Blizzard of 2016 – around 24 – 28 inches of snow (DC area). It was nice to have my Blue Apron meals from last week to prepare over the weekend. It was one of the high points as we literally sat and waited for about 36 hours while it snowed and snowed. Plus, since we didn’t lose power (thank you thank you) it was extra nice to have something to prepare. I encourage folks to try it for a few weeks. You can pick delivery on most days and you will find a nice variety of meats/​fish/​chicken. I think you will get hooked and become a regular customer.

I called this place, «The Happy Store». You can be in a bad mood and by the time you leave, you are in a GREAT Mood!!. The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable and professional. The owners are personable and people oriented. They give you a full detail They become familiar with what you like and you become part of the family. This is a must go to place for your cheese, meat, bread and finger foods! If you are looking to impress your guest, host a small or big party… Come here. They will give you what you need to leave your guest talking about your party. I’ve been a customer for years and have never been disappointed. I know that you will be as happy as I’ve been!

Unilocal removed my review for this great business because I mentioned that is not the same as the online business of the same name that got negative reviews. Unilocal doesn’t care about bad reviews for the wrong business. They told me so in an email.

WARNING TO ALL THOSE WHO PURCHASE THE BLUE APRON GROUPON: I purchased a Groupon for meals delivered as a gift for my elderly Mother. When she attempted to redeem the Groupon she was forced to sign-​up for an ongoing subscription plan that cost $ 59 a month! If she forgets to cancel she will end up paying for additional meals she doesn’t want and cannot afford. I spoke to their customer service department and they told me «that’s just the way it is». Buyer beware!

I went in to buy some beans to make my coffee the next morning. I am sure the beans are good quality since the place was featured on Extra Virgin, a show on Cooking Channel. It was the service that left a bitter taste in my mouth. It was horrible.
I asked the cashier, if I can just buy ¼ lb of the Blue Apron Blend. He weighed it and it was less than ¼ lb. He was about to take my money when the owner came along and said… I have to buy exactly ¼ lb. I didn’t mind because it only came out to be $ 2.32. However, I didn’t appreciate the owner’s tone.
I’m never coming here again.

Not to be confused w/​the food/​meal delivery service that seems to be second behind Amazon with the most deliveries in Manhattan, this place boasts a pretty good selection where we found some great edible gifts (mostly for others, but some for us too).

A neighborhood purveyor of Italian meats, fresh pastas, olives and cheeses with some gourmet condiments and candies. Samples are available for any meat or cheese. The double cured salmon was delish! The space is rather small, so be prepared to get cozy with fellow shoppers!

Small friendly store that has French delicacies– saucisson, pâté, confits, cheese and a bakery. The employee working at the deli is extremely friendly and helpful. Their baguettes are good for what they are, but not as good as the ones you can get in France for sure.

Various unique and foreign delicacies offered in a cozy little shop. You can find nice selections of finger foods, snacks, baked goods, etc. Friendly and helpful staff will offer suggestions to your every question.

I’m a sucker for a specialty food shop! And Blue Apron has been a Park Slope staple since 2002. The owner Ted Matern has a strong food background with impressive history specifically Dean and Deluca which is also a favorite of mine. What’s great about Blue Apron is that it has all those delicious food items on a more intimate environment.
My brother lives in the neighborhood and I always love going with him on his weekly visits. And my brother is nice enough to let me pick a few things to take home. If you try anything here you have to go for the salmon or cheese. In my case, I always want both. ****hand carved salmon*** is incredible here. They salmon is shaved into beautiful thin slices separated by slim slices of wax paper and then rolled into a thicker wax paper. I love having these slices on my Monday bagel with cream cheese. You can’t even buy pre sliced packaged salmon here and why would you want it after tasting the good life.
Then let’s talk about cheese. I love the manchego here. It’s nutty and earthy. They are definite cheese mongers here. My brother likes to get his gouda here for his famous homemade omelettes. The gouda compliments the omelette and is a necessary component.
Recently, I have been addicted to the pistachio cookies at the check out area. They are smart to place all the delicious treats right as you are paying. The pistachio cookies are great because they aren’t too sweet, they’re chewy and have a crispy exterior. I always get at least 4! And always wish I had a dozen. I am a baker and these have my seal of approval.

I stopped by this morning on my way home from the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket just to take a look around. I’ve heard great things about this place. They have so much to offer when it comes to cured meats, cheeses, fancy chocolates, coffees, olives and baked goods.
The store was pretty empty which wasn’t surprising since its Valentine’s Day. If you haven’t gotten what you need at this point, someone’s probably already pissed at you. Better late than never doesn’t cut it today.
I typically can’t resist when it comes to cheese, so I decided on a pint of Bocconcino (mozzarella balls floating in water). I paid $ 4.30 for 6 balls that were roughly the size of golf balls. The staff was friendly and seemed happy or help out. They have a $ 10 minimum on credit cards so I had to pay with cash.
I was in a bit of a rush after I dropped the cheese off in my fridge so I grabbed a cheese ball, popped it in my mouth and ran out of my apartment. I immediately noticed that something didn’t taste right. I figured I’d blame it on the fact that I just drank some Kombucha so maybe my mouth was tricking me. A few hours later I opened the container again and took a big whiff. The cheese had definitely gone sour.
I wanted to go back to see if I could get another container or a refund but didn’t have time. I’m also flying out tomorrow so I won’t be able to bring it back. I would assume that they would have no problem refunding me, but honestly, this place is known for their cheese. It makes me sad when stuff like this happens at a well known establishment.
I will probably be back. Hopefully next time I’ll be able to enjoy my purchase.

My girl has brought many things that has raised the quality of my life. Blue Apron is one of them. Friendly and courteous with an outstanding selection of cheese. I have been ruined from super market cheeses. The Blue Moon, challerhocker, and taleggio have transcended my taste buds to a state of nirvana not often visited by many. In other words I like it here.

Food is great! Customer service no so good. Just don’t count on delivery. Our dinner didn’t come 2 days in row and we had no other fresh food! It was awful. Then it finally came after being on a truck for 3 days so I refused it. The same box just came back AGAIN! It’s been on a truck for over 6 days! Now I have nasty rotten food that I have to keep in my garage until trash day. I am not happy. All that we received was a refund for the food that I have to throw away. No compensation for the hassle. BAD BUSINESS.

A really good option in the hood for fancy foods at a charming little shop. Nothing here is a bargain but a great resource for foodies. I love the baked goods, the cold cuts and the smoked salmon, a great place to go to get a cheese plate.

I am obsessed with this place, they have everything– imported cheeses, meats, honey, bread, pasta etc. They also have fresh baked goods and delicious desserts. If I wasn’t concerned about gaining another 10 pounds I would be here twice a week! The service is always so nice too, a lot of people from neighborhood restaurants shop here too for their places so it makes me feel like I’m «keeping it in the neighborhood!»

This is a wonderful place to shop! It has the best smoked salmon in the slope.
The staff and the management are very friendly, prompt and value regular customers.
The cheese in the charcuterie is out of this world!!! love the Drunken Goat Cheese. Blue Apron is a treasure in Brooklyn! They love the all who come and visit.
What makes Blue Apron so special is Jay! He is a real gentlemen and pleasure to see every time you come in. Blue Apron is a must for service and foodies! Yum!!!

This is a specialty foods store. They carry very high quality products, ranging from sweets to cheese and charcuterie, as well as an extensive collection of nonperishable items like oils, vinegars, sauces, dressings, etc. It’s a great place to go pick up a random item or two, a place to stock up for a picnic in the park, or simply to indulge your senses and spoil yourself a bit. Small space, big prices. Bring your wallet, and try not to come when you’re ravenous or you might default.

The sliver of a shop is ideal for those heading to the park for picnic essentials. Pre-​made sandwiches, breads, an extensive selection of cheeses and charcuterie items will make you swoon for a picnic blanket and some space in Prospect park.
Other specialty grocery (Caviar, fancy cookies, chocolates, coffee, pasta, etc.) items can also be found. Friendly service is in no short supply and neither are the prices.
If you’re claustrophobic in anyway or thinking of bringing a baby stroller in, do it on the off hours.
Looking forward to warmer weather to supply for the next picnic in the park!

I’ve lived in the area for over a year and have walked by many times without
venturing in. From the street it looks tiny, so I kept zipping on by. But on a lazy day when I was in less of a hurry, decided to pop in. Glad I did.
It is a tiny place, but looks are deceiving. There’s a front room that is quite small (which is what you see from the street), especially with the cashier stand taking up a good deal of space. But it’s more like a railroad apartment once inside, with a long (skinny) depth to it that takes you though a mini-​market of exotic miscellany… coffee, breads, chocolates, spreads, an olive bar, cheeses, baked goods, sauces and finally dry goods and a butcher/​meat counter.
It’s kind of like a Dean & Deluca, reduced to the footprint of a 7 – 11. You don’t go here for normal groceries but do go here for special things. Some of it is quite pricey, but that’s more a reflection of unique and quality fare. This isn’t a place simply stocking shelves with everyday stuff for the everyman buying stuff for everyone (they are especially void of things with short shelf lives such as produce/​seafood or anything frozen).
Given their challenge space, they’ve seemingly sought to deliver unique fare that isn’t easily found at the nearby Key foods, Food Coop or Union Market. In fact, I’ve not seen a lot of their offerings in any store — plus they seem to source a lot of regional/​local goods.
Even though somewhat small, they are packed with unique products and are worth a peek. I’m sorry I didn’t sneak one earlier, as I’ve been missing out on a cool place to peruse.
