K & Y Fruit and Vegetable

More organic vegetables are being stocked. Keep it up!

I wish I had found this earlier! The produce is ultra-​fresh (except for some ultra-​limp green beans I got once) and insanely inexpensive. In the past, I’ve just stopped by Gourmet Fresh but the prices are much more reasonable here and the fact that they’re open until 9pm is another bonus.

I haven’t written a review in a long time, but felt I had to today. I have been shopping here for years and have always enjoyed both their product and the people who work there. Today I had a horrible experience with who I think is the owner, a middle aged woman with bangs and a round face. I was buying a bunch of tomatoes to make a soup and the lady told me the tomatoes alone would be $ 27. I told her that I didn’t want all of them and I wanted to switch some out. She rudely barked that she had people on line, so I said «ok no problem, I will be back» When I came back I wanted to still get some of the top shelf tomatoes but she wouldn’t let me take any of them. She grabbed the ones I had out of my hand and muttered something in Korean under her breath. I was embarrassed as people were looking at me, but I didn’t do anything wrong. I told the lady that I just wanted her to know that I have been shopping here for years and no one has ever been so rude to me before. I could tell she lost face as she couldn’t even look at me and just mumbled «ok, ok» and was shooing me out of her store.
This really stinks because I liked all the other people that work here and it is convenient for me to shop here, but I just can’t stomach my money going to this woman with her crappy attitude. I’m giving two stars because I know the majority of people who work there are kind, but I will never shop here again. I hope she reads this, because even if she had a bad day, that is never the right way to treat someone who is shopping in your store. Maybe her family will read this and realize it is time to keep mom at home.

We get all our produce from here daily. It’s always good, and the owner and the cashiers are always so nice. Much cheaper than union market across the street and better selections!

Great selection of fruit and vegetable. Very affordable. Their kimchi is excellent. We wish they had some organic produce but you can’t beat the prices. Nice that they have a decent selection of Asian groceries, spices, sauces and condiments. Always clean and orderly and well laid out. The employees are friendly, polite and professional without talking your ear off at the register like some of the staff at TJ’s («oh that’s SO fascinating that your dog loves these fig bars Mr. Sleeve Tattoos Septum Ring.)

K&Y Fruit & Vegetable looks like a typical Chinatown fresh produce market including low and reasonable prices compared to the bigger markets nearby.
Besides being in Cobble Hill, the difference from Chinatown is that everything here looks clean, neat and tidy. Orderly vegetable bins make everything look fresher. Prices are clearly marked.
It’s cool to see a mom & pop store make it in the neighborhood. While there may be no jelly here, usually we hit K&Y for the cheap, fresh produce and head to TJ for everything else.

Agree with other comments that prices are exceptional here and they have a good selection. Staff is really nice. Just watch out for quality — sometimes, they can have too overly ripe stuff out.

Nice little produce market along Court with prices and a selection that matches the much cheaper neighborhoods in the five boroughs.

Love. Imported deliciousness. Wonderful and helpful staff. They have every oil imaginable, imported chorizo, wide array of cheeses. A bit pricey but you’re paying for gourmet quality. Nothing bad to say!

Very resonable price and fresh fruit and vegetable. Thums up. 5stars. Absolutely better than Union market across street.

Fresh and cheap!!!
Restocked produce daily and handpicked to ensure quality!
Cheapest prices in the area… (trust me I checked)
My go to spot for any and all fresh produce!!!

I find the term ‘Neighborhood Gem’ a somewhat Cliched term to describe a great find convenient to ones home location, but in this case I’ll gladly indulge this super little store only a few blocks from my home. It’s a fairly small space yet it has almost everything you could possibly want in terms Fruit and Veg and a handy supply of every day basic grocery items to boot!
And that’s not all, the prices seem very fair compared to others places in the vicinity that (shall remain nameless*) and are a complete rip off in comparison. The produce is fresh and of the highest quality. Shopping here at this ‘Neighborhood Gem’ is like a breath of fresh air!
* Hint: Across the road

This place is the best! It’s a small store, but they’ve got a great selection of fresh produce. There’s not much in the way of organic foodstuffs, but everything is priced fairly and you never feel like you’ve paid a minor fortune for spoiled strawberries. When I’m lazy I like to get the cut up broccoli, which runs about 1.25 for a plate. I especially like shopping for produce here over the Met on Henry. I don’t need to explain why.
Coming here is convenient from either the Bergen or Carroll stop and is conveniently located across the street from Union Market. I like to shop at K&Y for produce then head to UM to get stuff like quinoa, buffalo mozzarella, organic chicken etc.
Beyond providing a great value, I like this place because the man who runs it seems very nice and seems to have a good to his employees. Example: I was shopping first thing one morning and the guy walked in and said «good morning!» and ALL the employees responded with a very cheery «good morning» back. Idk, in New York City I think that says a lot.

Nicely stocked cheap produce. Kind clerks. Small store. Sometimes long lines. Best Avacado’s I’ve had in a while. A huge bag of produce for $ 15.

In a city where you rarely feel that you’re charged a «fair» price for something, this place bucks the trend. I never feel like I’m getting ripped off here, whether its buying pre-​cut squash, tomatoes on the vine, greens, etc.
Everything is always fresh, clean, and easy to find. Highly recommended for produce if you live in the area.

This is the kind of place you can pass by for years and not even give them a second glance. Just looks like a nice bodega that sells fruits and veggies. But they are a gem, especially in this neighborhood where things tend to be expensive.
Huge selection of great produce. Always fresh, always well stocked. The prices are just too good to be true. They also have nuts in big containers where you help yourself at very good prices.
Staff is helpful and very fast. I just love that I can buy ten things and not spend more than $ 6.

Maybe I’ve just been spoiled by the cheap prices I’m used to paying for produce in Chinatown or Essex Market in Manhattan, but I wish this place was just a bit cheaper. It is definitely cheap in comparison to the expensive produce across the street at Union Market and even Met Supermarket on Smith Street.
As others have picked up on, this should definitely be your first stop for produce on Court Street and anything you can’t find or for all other groceries, cross the street to Union Market.

This place is what you think of when you think neighborhood joint. The people who work here are fast, friendly, and efficient. The selection of produce is great… they offer a wide variety of both veggies and fruits, and at prices that are competitive. I buy my coffee, cheese, and pasta at Union Market, and walk across the street to get my brussel sprouts, pomegranates, and garlic here.
$ 10 limit on credit card transactions.

Killer selection, although pricy. Everything looked really fresh and easy to find. I found an artichoke the size of my head that was just succulent.
Unfortunately, my bag of grapes went bad in about 12 hours.
Nice people at the cash registers — just keep your eyes peeled for the next open one (awkward line up).

The produce is excellent, and the prices are similar to, and on certain items even better than my other go-​to produce shops, Atlantic Vegetable & Food or Pacific Green up the block. Everything is laid out in a shockingly organized, sensible manner. And it’s even fairly clean.
But that’s not all!
Are you the laziest piece of shit around? You especially are going to LOVE shopping at K&Y. Because when it’s been a long day and you don’t even feel like peeling your onions, trimming your green beans, or chopping your peppers, pineapple, mango, papaya, carrots, cabbage, celery, artichokes and more… you can walk out of K&Y without feeling as though you’ve been price-​gouged.
Even with all the «work» done for you, the prices are still pretty reasonable. And that’s a rarity around here (I’m looking at you Key Food).
