While out on my morning walk in search of somewhere to eat breakfast in the lovely Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, I visited Associated with hopes of purchasing toothpaste. However, little did I know that I would end up purchasing other items rather than toothpaste.
The atmosphere felt very peaceful at this little neighborhood supermarket. Along with its peaceful atmosphere, the supermarket is very clean, the shelves very organized, and the aisles had plenty of maneuvering space in-between them.
Since I had just completed a workout, I looked for something to replenish! The price for Vitamin water was out of my preferred range, but I always look at the overall fulfillment versus the price, which is why I considered purchasing it with its retail price of $2.29. As I continued shopping, the thought of just eating fruit for breakfast came to mind, so I ended up putting the bottle of Vitamin water back on the shelf. It was then I visited the produce section where I found a mixed fruit bowl which I ended up purchasing as my breakfast.
Ginger tea has been a hot item I have looked for as of late on eBay, just waiting to encounter a great price! While headed to the register, I could not help but notice the variation of teas shelved which reminded me of that search. I nearly bought a box of Stash - herbal tea lemon ginger vitality until I saw a box of Bigelow - lemon ginger herbal tea which was 50 cents cheaper than the Stash brand.
The price I encountered for toothpaste was a complete turnoff, considering that I would have tossed it in the trash before my flight out of LaGuardia Airport. So, to counter the possibility of bad breath, I ended up purchasing a pack of Trident gum which I ended up chewing on all day, and it is even beneficial while flying.
One thing that was different compared to any other shopping experience I have had, was being given a bag that is reusable, and recyclable for many times. I can surely see myself lugging that reusable bag around as my handbag prior to going to the fitness center for my workouts.
I would indeed return to Associated when staying in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn because my needs were met, plus it was my only discovery of a place where I could purchase quality food items. Happy shopping, and blessings to all that have stumbled upon and read this review.

Great neighborhood supermarket with a wide variety of delicious looking baked goods, fresh produce, and artisanal soft drinks (think root beer and cream soda) Thid spot is Greta to pick up just a few things or to do your whole shopping list!

Been coming here quite awhile. Cashiers are nice and helpful.NEVER rude to me or my friends. They even give me advice when i need it on how to cook a veggie i am not familiar with. Park Slope has entitled snotty people who love to complain like one person said on here. If a cashier is not smiling all the time i know why. Worried about her eldery parent.

I'm vegan and mainly buy organic foods. This is the one place that carries most of my staple products: vegan butter, vegan cheese, vegan meat, organic nuts and seeds, bulk goods, fresh bread. The produce is fresh and the prices are consistent with other markets but generally higher quality (avocados stay firm for an extra day or two). There's no beer for sale and the staff aren't overly friendly. But it's 2023 and that's basically true everywhere (Whole Foods, Key Foods, Stop and Shop etc.) I'd rather support a smaller spot than Bezos et. al. Plus nobody owes me a smile and I'd be snippy too if I made minimum wage selling bougie food to snooty rich folk.

Was visiting NY from Florida, the prices are a little high but was very happy to see they had more options to something’s I get at home. Very clean store, but a lot of items are very very dusty.
