C-Town Supermarket

The prices are decent. Probably cheaper than in Manhattan. I did get Cheez-It’s for $ 4, which was fabulous. Dairy is pretty expensive, as it is everywhere here.
They’ve got a diverse crowd composed mostly of locals. It’s not annoyingly gentrified. Who knows how long it’ll last before the block is demolished for a Trader Joe’s.

I’m coming ft Chicago where I’m used to normal grocery stores (bigger than a convenience store) …this is the closest one I’ve found in walking distance to me… the customer service is just ok… not friendly at all but I guess not rude. They have a semi decent selection of basic foods… it is very very cramped in the store. Main issue I am short and everything is stacked so high I have to climb the shelves to get anything.
Also watch for expiration dates… a lot of items are close to expiring or actually expired.
One pet peeve from this evenings shopping trip there was a woman behind me with 5 items and I put all my stuff on the belt and the cashier took her first while I waited 5 minutes hanging out at the end of the register… WTF?! Why have a stinking line then-​just call it a free for all.

The only reason why this place deserves one star at all is becsuse they have a decent selection of vegetarian/​vegan items. Their produce quality really sucks. Most of their staff are nice. There is one particular stock guy that is a complete asshole. I am 5’2″ and needed help getting something off a high shelf and he blatantly ignored me twice. I know he heard me. I had to stand on a can of pasta sauce to retrieve it.
What actually compelled me to write this review is I’ve really had enough of the rude «bag boys». I went today and just bought soy milk and basil and had my own bag, which in of itself implies ‘I can bag my own items, go away’ he proceeds to prepare plastic bags. I say «no thanks, I have my own.» He takes my bag from my hands and bags my items. Then as I’m paying and leaving he says to the cashier «pssh, its a slow day, only 4 people been by and none tip. See look at that…»
First off, I refuse to be insulted into tipping your bagboys that look more like homeless off the street in which most of the time are uttering sexual vulgarities when outside the store. Second, I much prefer to do my own bagging, thanks but no thanks.
I shop here frequently, well used to until today, did the majority of my grocery shopping here… Just because the close proximity to where I live. I just can’t anymore. The annoying entitled «bag boys» will have me going a few extra minutes to Key Food or Millennium. They have fresher produce anyway.

Looks good so far, nice clean good prices, the stafff are great, big selection, fruits look fresh,
Like usual…

Fantastic store owner by great people. They have everything you need and everything is so good and fresh. I recommend this store to anyone who simply like good clean products, fruit, vegetables And anything else you can think of

Great customer service and excellent pricing. I love going grocery shopping here as they have all my needs and wonderful weekly sales.

This place tends to have everything I need, but I dread coming here. I usually come after work, when a lot of people go grocery shopping for dinner stuff or whatever, so it’s a busy time. Somehow, the staff at this store think that the busiest time of day for the store, with the most foot traffic inside, is the appropriate time to re-​stock and have boxes in the aisles while staff are unloading them onto the shelves. Not the best scheduling, guys. The staff are usually nice, however, and it’s not about their service, just a very crowded place during rush hour and the re-​stocking during that time is really annoying.

This is a poorly managed, unprofessional dirty supermarket that manages to survive, based on its location. It’s situated across the street from LG projects, which makes up half of its clientele. The other half is split between nervous looking Pratt students and wealthy Clinton hill residents, who dart in & out while trying not to make any eye contact with the goons, who line the sidewalk outside. The cashiers are all young girls who seem to never have had any kind of customer service training. I noticed that their constantly being flirted with and hit on by their male coworkers, which may explain why they try not to make any eye contact or conversation, with their customers. I’ve even seen the owners sons (or maybe they’re nephews. Either way they look just like him) hovering over the cashiers, being awkward and flirtatious, with the cashiers. The product selection ranges from cheap generic krasdale items to upscale yogurts, cheeses & beers. This store really fails in the produce department. Most of the fruit and vegetables look sad & spoiled, sitting on the shelves. The aisles are tiny and narrow and make me feel like I’m trapped in a pacman game. It only makes sense to shop here if you’re on welfare or you’re rich. There is no in between here. Go around the block to the key food on Lafayette & Grand, for better prices and selections.

While I was enjoying my stay in BK, I stopped here to grab some essentials to make a nice gourmet meal for my family. What I like is fast, friendly services and good quality food at decent prices.

While this store is on the smaller side, they have a great selection. This has been my go-​to store for the past few years and there have only been a handful of items I could not find. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Recently I’ve noticed more gourmet/​upscale foods being stocked here.

The place has gotten better over the years, maybe due to new management. But the quality of the store has improve, so i would stop by to shop here if neccesary

I go here when I want to buy expired products or buy things at Manhattan gourmet prices within the Bed-​Stuy/​Clinton Hill area. Great selection of wrinkly cherry tomatoes. The only excuse that is acceptable for the packaged berries section is that it’s doubling as a source for mold to be reclaimed for Penicillin manufacturing.

C-​Town is the best supermarket within a few blocks, but it really isn’t all that great. I often see expired products on the shelves, and the produce is spotty at best. It is convenient for a beer run or to grab some last minute items for a meal, but my experience with this C-​Town has never been satisfactory. The store is improving, but at slow pace.
In my experience, other C-​Towns in Brooklyn are managed much better than this one. It’s not the worst, but it isn’t the best.

This C-​town has improved during the last year. It is now cleaner, slightly more organized and expanded their fresh produce isle to a whole (it used to be only half isle, the other half was storing cold beer. Ah yes, I’m sure that wheat product can be counted as veggie…). And yeah, they have a good beer selection! I love my frambois Lambic there. yumm…
The supermarket is not the best but it’s got the staple goods decently priced, easy place to shop for something that you have run out of. Convenient because they are open early and closes at 10pm, unlike the Associate that mostly closes at 8pm.
Btw, keep an open eye when buying veggies (ie: tomatoes) here. Sometimes the sale items are very crappy and will spoil within a day or two. Other times they are just fine.

I have mixed feelings about CTown. While they are awesome because they are super close to home and always sell me a roll of quarters, they are totally shady for not only selling expired dairy product but also smudging off expiration dates. I probably won’t be buying anything frozen there again, as many an ice cream has clearly melted and been refrozen.
CTown, get your act together with the frozen and dairy aisle and I’ll be yours forever.

I love that this place is so close. The ice cream has freezer burn, the groceries are semi fresh, and the store has standard grocery fare. I love the $ 5 sandwiches made to order. They only use Boar Heads meat, fresh cheese and the roll or hoagie of your choice. –1 stars for the people outside always try to flirt with you and say obscene things. PLEASE NOTE– be sure to check all of your food before you purchase it. I have bought several things that were way past the expiration date. (–2 stars for the expired food I have bought in the past)

I stumbled into this C-​Town by pure coincidence: we went to Umi Nom the other night, and since they don’t have a liquor license yet the manager suggested to go to the supermarket down the block to get beer.
OMFG… this place is AWESOME! The best beer selection in the neighborhood I have found so far, including Dogfish Head, Hennepin, Ommegang, and Smutty Nose. I don’t give it 5 stars because the best beers are not kept cold.
The food choice also seems very good: I checked the cereal section, and they keep many different brands (including Kashi, which has been suppressed at the Bravo on Fulton near to my place).
Why oh why aren’t you closer to where I live ???

C-​Town gets 4 stars now because a manager gave me tape to put up flyers for a lost cat I found. That’s rad. Who said you can’t buy a better review?

I just moved to this neighborhood and this is the first grocery store I’ve visited. Nice selection of bread, produce and cheeses. Everything was clean and very fresh. Some items seem a little pricey, but overall, a very good experience. I will be back.

This is by far the cleanest grocery store in the neighborhood. Extra points for staying open til ten even on holidays (well, at least on the 4^th) and carrying some organic food, as well as really nice management and cashiers. They freaking smile at you.
Drawbacks are it’s a little small, and because of that they also don’t have everything you’re looking for. They’re also not quite as inexpensive as the Associated on Myrtle.
Who cares though? Last time I was there I was short a couple of bucks and they told me to pay them back the next day.
That’s what I’m talking about!
