Peas n’ Pickles

Could be better, could be worse.
They do a pretty good job of checking you out quickly and getting you out the door. The prices are more expensive than I’d like, but it’s DUMBO, so that’s not a surprise.
However, the second time I shopped here, a cat was licking up the water the produce was sitting in. Definitely a health hazard. I haven’t seen it since, but I tend to avoid buying the produce here because of it.
Overall, it’s definitely more convenient to get here for small grocery hauls.

Overpriced place selling food with overstated expiration dates. I walked 20 mins to get there from my apt to pick up things for turkey meatballs and salad. I spent $ 15 on turkey, came home, and opened the package to a horribly rank, foul smell that had my dog running the other direction. The funny part was they said it would be good for another 4 days. I ended up throwing it out Nd ordering food because who wants to walk 40 minutes again.

This place is only a convenience and back when it was smaller the Korean woman who worked the register was sharp as a tack in knowing the prices and always gave change back correctly and always in favor of the customer (e.g. You give her a $ 10 bill for a $ 7.02 tab, she’ll give back $ 3.00). The current clerks round up each item like $ 2.99 to $ 3.00, $ 2.49 to $ 2.50 and don’t bother to weigh produce! I found that I’ve paid over a quarter each time, and it adds up! Plus they do this to every shopper who doesn’t say anything, they think it’s fine!

I don’t really consider this a grocery store. It’s more like a ginormous convenience store with the usual ridic prices. It’s open all the time, so I go there when the equally overpriced and meh Gristedes next door is closed. I sometimes buy their flowers for my apartment, which are decently priced and out front. Other than that, there’s really no reason.

updated to say they were completely cool about taking back a bad pint of ice cream. It must have melted and refrozen – it was all nasty and grayish looking, and full of ice crystals when I opened it. Ugh. They didn’t even bat an eye when we came back the next day and asked to swap it out for a good one. Class act, guys! Keep up the good work!

Before their renovation, Peas n’ Pickles (or the «All In One Market» as they have re-​branded themselves) was just meh for me. But now, I really enjoy visiting this place. Since they have expanded, the store is much more inviting. First off, the place looks 1000x better, and they now have a much larger selection of foods. Oh, and they also have an expanded deli, which I really like. In fact, for lunch, I will often visit their deli to get a freshly made sandwich. Yummy and cheap! It costs about $ 5 for a mouth-​stretching sandwich on a roll.
Another great thing about Peas n’ Pickles for me is that they are located diagonally across the street where I live. So convenient :) I also really like their produce department. They don’t have a tremendous selection, but what they do have is fresh and reasonably priced.
Some folks complain that prices are Peas n’ Pickles are a bit high… and, sure, for some things, that may be the case. But, there are some items like the previously-​mentioned produce and homemade sandwiches that make up for it.

This place is a total ripoff! They charge you whatever they feel like charging once you get to the register, assuming you won’t call them on it. There are no prices in this store, just the whims of the idiotic clerks.

Peas n’ Pickles is the kind of convenience store you hope for in your neighborhood: they have perfectly acceptable and fairly varied produce, beer, bacon, pasta, and paper products.
I love their «prepared» produce containers because they’re perfect for a weeknight ingredient list and there’s no markup for individual packaging. Example: 5 oz arugula for $ 3. I guess it’s a little steep but it’s not that fancy triple-​washed baby arugula BS for $ 5. Their herbs are wrapped in little bunches for 99 cents. That’s huge.
The cashiers sometimes get a little confused, what are ya gonna do? Just know your prices and make sure they do it right. I once had a big order that came to about $ 70 and the register rang it up as $ 135. So, they’re not that good at math, everyone carries a 6 here and there.

I come here because this place isn’t Gristedes. That’s a really, really low bar. The staff is friendly and they are always open, but they’re super overpriced and the ice cream is always gross and freezer burned. I come here if I need something quick, but it’s better to trek south a few blocks if you need to do real grocery shopping.

I bet Peas and Pickles is the largest bodega I’ve ever seen. It’s got the prices, cleanliness (or lack there of), and layout of a typical bodega but its about 10x the size. It’s not as big as the Gristedes next door but it’s at least half the size. I came here after I saw the ridiculous prices at Gristedes and thought I’d get something more reasonable here. This place actually isn’t much better at all. If you’re watching your pennies, you might be able to save one or two here (compared to their neighbor) but overall the layout and grunginess would push me toward Gristedes if I lived in the neighborhood. Luckily I’m down the street closer to Trader Joes, Fairway, Keyfoods, and the Met (all of which are better than here).

This place is really a combo of grocery store and 24 hour corner store. They have always had lots of imported goods, and a wide variety of options on everything. It’s strange but generally speaking whatever you need at 1 am you can mostly get there. They have a really good dessert (cookies, candies, etc.) selection. Expensive though.

I have always gone to Peas n’ Pickles for convenience, despite the rather high and inconsistent prices and surly service, but now I’m fed up. Although there is one woman at the register who is always super-​friendly and considerate, I’ve often been charged the wrong prices by unfriendly clerks who glare at me if I want to use my debit card. I’ve also wondered if they were overcharging me on purpose, but tonight takes the cake.
I was in there with my two small kids and bought broccoli, cream, and bread. The charge was $ 19.21, and without thinking I gave them a $ 20 and took my change (the kids were complaining and asking for candy and we were all tired). When I got home and unpacked the groceries I realized that I had been obviously been overcharged and promptly called them up to inquire. The cashier checked the receipt (they never give you a receipt unless you demand it) over the phone and said the charge was $ 9.21. He denied charging me $ 19.21 and hung up on me!
Fact is, it’s not worth getting ripped off (even when they charge you the right amount it’s inflated) for a totally ordinary selection of food. From now on I’ll go a bit further to Key Food or Garden of Eden (or even the dreaded Gristede’s) rather than give these greedy jerks my business.

Have to agree– this review is for the beer selection. Other Unilocalers nailed this one! A great selection to choose from (micros, regional, imports), and as Johnathan G pointed out — ALL COLD. Might be a touch pricey but I guess living in the heights, just get used to it. It is a «convenience store» right?

this place is a big disappointment. their groceries are generally overpriced and it often seems like they arbitrarily price things that are unmarked when you get to the register.
i regularly come home only to find that my items are expired.
and their credit card minimum is high enough that if i dont have cash i can’t even bother coming to pick up a bite from the deli.
won’t be coming back

it’s basically a high end convenience store. i’ve had the peas (wasabi) but not the pickles. top notch service, a winning combination of friendly and efficient.

Phenomenal beer selection for a local grocery and all of them cold. If you want to grab some beer for anything or for no reason you will not have trouble here at all.
As a grocery store it is small and more of a mini-​mart, but it has a surprising amount of things you would need. You could do a very small shop here and make out fine.
Another thing that sets Peas n’ Pickles apart is their service. There are usually two or three people behind the counter so while you are laying down your items (beer), they are charging you and someone is simultaneously double-​bagging it so you are set to go right away. Totally friendly and helpful at all times.
I would not do my weekly shopping here, but just for a quick trip (beer) it is more than sufficient.

While Gristedes gets rebuilt and Key Food continues to suck ass, Peas & Pickles is as good as it’s gonna get. Cramped, yes, but it has a perfect selection with surprisingly good produce, and the service is fast and friendly!

I am giving this place five stars for one reason only… their selection of beers.
They have a huge gamut of beers to choose from ranging from the local Brooklyn Brews to a great selection of Belgians and other foreign beers. I was going to make a list of all the beers they had but thought that might be a bit shady. I would guestimate that they have about 75 different types of beer at any given time. Chances are the beer you just tried at the Henry St ale house that you loved will be there.
Other pluses are they are cheaper than the Gristedes next door for most things and their produce is way better.
The only thing they really lack for my needs is a meat section and a better deli.
They have a huge fish section, but I have not ventured down that road yet.
