Wonderful place! Great prices, great selection. I approached the gentleman who was removing the over ripe bananas and replacing them with fresh ones. I asked if I could buy the overly ripe ones, since I was going to be freezing them for smoothies anyways. He walked me over to a section where they package and sell a variety of what other markets would consider over-ripe produce, even though it is still perfectly usable. Its so wonderful to see that food not go to waste, because it is still edible! I got over 20 ripe bananas for around $2. Also, the produce always tastes so fresh.

Bought 3+ lbs of Kirby cukes on Sunday afternoon and when I went to slice them Monday evening, every one of them was mush and slime. Called Tuesday morning to see about getting new ones and was told more than 24 hours so no. I explained it was after closing when I went to use them or I would have called them. Sorry but “fresh” produce should last more than just one day. Wasn’t asking for a refund just wanted fresher ones and would have even bought more. Was greeted with nothing but rudeness on the phone. Definitely lost a customer with their attitude.

Amazing ethnic grocery store! My wife and I found authentic Latino and Asian ingredients that cant be found elsewhere in the area. Produce and meat selection is amazing and the staff are very friendly. Way better than your typical box grocery store.

Today bought a 4 pound piece of white yam only half was useable. Bought 4.33 pounds of yuca little more than half was usable. Bought 3.31 pounds of boniato again little more than half was useable. Be careful buying these type of products. They might be old. Also bought 2 avacados when they ripen had to throw them out because they were rotted inside.

My wife and I love this place and their prices, but weve had multiple problems with them charging too much, scanning items too many times, or keeping items we have paid for accidentally. If it was just 1 time, whatever, no biggy. But it has been 3 times that we know of.

This place is really good for me to get food for my 100 pound tortoise. I used to buy all my meat there but it seems that the prices keep going up. Also with the vegetables Aldis seems like its going to be cheaper for me. But they dont have the assortment that I need for my tortoise. I make a lot of stir frys and this is the best place by far to get all the stuff that I need for that. Still a really great place to shop.

Review №44

I like the staff on the floor except the cashier named Barbara who continued ignoring me when I was ready to check out because shes preoccupied with her phone and to think that I had frozen goods that I needed to head home soon. I was clearly letting know of my presence which she continued to ignore. I waited for her to finish typing on her 2 phones before she started ringing my items. Who hires this staff nowadays?

Very nice selection of meats and produce. They have white coconuts in produce section. Never seen these before. I had to buy one to try. Badia spices available. Frozen seafoods and Asian specialities. They have a reduced produce section where you get a great deal on bulked packaged produce. Great looking for being at a reduced price. This place is a one of a kind in the Merritt Island area. You should check it out. You wont be disappointed.

Best and biggest selection of Korean / Filipino / Mexican groceries in the Island. Clean place and fresh produce. Some of the rarer cuts of meats can be found here. Also the selection of Asian vegetables are good. Whats convenient also is that its right beside Island Seafood Market. So get your produce here then hop on to the other side to get your fresh seafood.

Lowest prices on chicken and some fruits. Find fresh vegetables nobody else carries. I expanded my horizons with new foods. Small and friendly. Happy to learn they are expanding.I always stop by the damaged produce counter for discounts.Tapioca & turmeric, ginger MUCH cheaper.Would like to learn how to use some unfamiliar foods, perhaps at a tasting seminar.Update May25: got the tastiest blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and papaya Ive had in years.

Review №72

These produce are not that good because they do not let this fruits stay on the tree and come to perfection, like the jack fruit if it was good it has a strong smell, sour sop the same guava, sweet sop name a few.then the fruits will taste good and they will sell more it they are fit. The price for the items are bad everything is by the pound, come on. They need more island or different country things if your store name is Thrift produce.

Review №82

I was looking for some ingredients for a Korean dish Im making and they had everything I needed and more! Lots of options and good prices for their asian products. The customer service was also good.Came back to edit my review because I was trying my hand at a couple more Korean dishes and was so impressed with what they had in store and also their customer service. They had every thing I was looking for and much more that I now know I can get there if the recipe arises. Also when I couldnt find mirin I asked one of their employees stocking and he helped me find pretty much the same thing just not called mirin and asked me what I was making and helped me find the other ingredients I was looking for. Incredibly nice and helpful. I wish it had something in the name to indicate how much international food they have because I wouldnt have realized it had I not read reviews that prompted me to go.

Review №85

If I could give this store no stars I would. Absolute worst customer service Ive ever experienced, refused to exchange spoiled meat, accused me of not keeping it at the correct temperature, ridiculous refund policy of 1 day after date of purchase, making fun of my weight in Spanish (another customer, who was Spanish speaking, heard them and said something about it) and they were extremely rude and were laughing at me. If you dont plan on eating or cutting open the products you purchase within 1 day of your purchase to inspect them, Id strongly suggest shopping somewhere else. They do not stand behind the products that they sell, rather they prefer to blame the customer.

Review №98

Best sale prices for meat on the island. The produce however doesnt last as long when compared to other produce from Publix, Aldi Etc. They have a very large variety of Asian food imports and about 1/3 of the store is segregated with a plethora of international foods; mostly Asian. Great bargains indeed.
