Food Universe Marketplace is a neighborhood grocery store located conveniently next to a subway station, making it easy for customers to access. It offers a great selection of products at good prices, including various discounts and the ability to pay with WIC, EBT, cash, and debit/credit cards. The store is known for its friendly staff, even among new employees, and it provides a welcoming atmosphere, with security often looking after pets while customers shop. However, some customers have noted that the aisles can be narrow, making mobility difficult, especially when using a shopping cart. While many appreciate the store's offerings, some feel it lacks variety in vegan options and has inconsistent hours, with some visits not allowing entry late at night. Additionally, there have been reports of discrepancies between advertised sale prices and what rings up at the register, leading to some frustration. Overall, Food Universe Marketplace serves the community with essential grocery needs, but there are areas for improvement, particularly regarding service and product variety.
