24-​hour open-​air market with an emphasis on fruits & vegetables, plus a full range of grocery items.

History

Established in 1998.

For over 30 years and three generations, Three Guys from Brooklyn has been a veritable institution in Brooklyn. It all started when Stanley Zimmerman put up a fruit store on 65th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway in 1975. In 1978, Stanley, along with his brother Howard and his brother in law Harry (the original Three Guys), moved to another location. When the corner of 65th St and Fort Hamilton Parkway became available again in 1998, Stanley’s two sons, Scott and Howard, with their friend Philip Penta, revived the business. The new «Three Guys» continued the tradition of selling only the highest quality produce at affordable prices. Today, the family still remains a big part of the business and people of all ages, ethnicities and origins come from near and far to get their fruits and vegetables from Three Guys from Brooklyn. We are proud to be a part of this wonderful community and look forward to many great years to come!

Business Owner

As partners of Three Guys from Brooklyn, Phil and Scotty are proud to operate one of the few remaining open air fruit markets in NYC. People often joke that our business is like the UN of grocery stores, a place where everyone comes together despite their differences to share in the great deals and fresh produce. We have the most ethnically diverse clientele anywhere, and offer special fruit and vegetables needs to happily satisfy every population including Italian, Asain, Sephardic and Hasidic Jews, Russians and Middle Easterners. It is also a neighborhood place where old friends meet, neighbors run into each other and families come to shop together. We have become a Brooklyn landmark and recognize the importance of giving back to the community that has allowed us to flourish. From Phil and Scotty, we invite you to visit Three Guys from Brooklyn and hope to meet you soon!

Fresh fruits and vegetables, delicious cheeses and yogurts, the register people are fast and helpful.
I wish I can go every day but it’s a bit far from my house and I can only go when my husband drives me there.

Hi Phil
So sorry I never saw your question. I work in the community for many years so pass by your store everyday I drive to work. I have going to your store for over 15 years. Yes, a long time. Of course, over the years I became more organically conscious but still come regularly and purchase my fair share of items. You have a gold mine, kudos to u and the other partners!!!

Now that Pathmark on 13th Avenue and 60th street has closed for some time now, I’ve been purchasing some fruits and vegetables at Three Guys From Brooklyn. It’s a pretty huge fruit and vegetable market with good quality products and for a reasonable price
The staff here aren’t the nicest, but they get the job done. Customers here can get pretty nasty at times, so I would be careful. It’s pretty convenient by public transportation and your own car, but can get pretty crowded during the weekends.

Seriously the most awesome place to shop for groceries in Brooklyn. Always the freshest produce of any place I’ve seen, lots of choices from a handful of countries, and CHEAP!

I absolutely love this company. We were in a jam where one of customers orders wasn’t going to make it. We reached out to them and they were super friendly and helpful in every way. They were very professional and my company will be using them again in the future. Our clients loved the fruit and said the taste and quality were excellent. The Prices are great and the service even better!!! Thank you so much for the beautiful service.

Peter D.‘s review convinced me to check it out. The prices were great and the food seemed fresh. This is not a place to get ALL of your groceries but it can certainly keep you happy if you like fresh fruits and veggies like me. I was surprised to see there was dairy products in the back that had expiration dates that were extended to the end of the month. Most times, I find that I don’t feel comfortable buying dairy from most places or meats from certain places because I am definitely going to look at the ingredients and the expiration date. I am satisfied with my experience and will return, the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because parking can be a pain in the ass. And it’s a place you go to get your stuff and leave quickly, not like a Whole Foods which is very welcoming and comfy to stay.

Truly a destination fruit/​vegetable stand. I’ve never seen a greater selection– on my way home I’ll usually stop by and grab something I’ve never seen/​tried before to try and make. Always super fresh– they have staff replenishing and checking the fruit 24⁄7. Started making their own orange juice which I’ve brought home for breakfast and is great. Love their pre-​cut fruit/​veggie cups– especially the soup/​grill/​stir fry kits. Also, I didn’t know for a while that they had a ‘discount’ side on the south side of the building for older fruits/​vegetables that you can often find some good stuff for even cheaper.

Fresh fruits and vegetables that are available 24⁄7??? What’s NOT to like???
Their prices are definitely competitive compared to local supermarkets and stores. Some days their prices are the best, others they’re more by a little bit. Also, day to day prices may change, but that’s any market out there. They offer a wide variety and selection of produce, all delicious, so if you’re a one stop shop kind of person, this would be a good choice for you!
The downside is that everyone knows this is to go to place– which means often you would find people aggressively shopping because it’s NY and ain’t no body got time.
They are close by bus and subway is about 5 minutes away. Plenty of street parking however, most people have their «driver» illegally park or circle. Service is always quick and efficient.

This review is about customer service. I shop at this place once in a while.
I bought a bag of cherries tonight. I paid and realize I need to buy avocados. I picked up 3 avocados (3 for $ 4). Gave the cashier $ 5. (She’s overweight and was on the first register on the right hand side) She gave me hard time. She gave me a dollar coin back. I told her I want a bill. She asked me why I don’t want that. She asked the Spanish guy who was standing behind her to open the register and they had eye contact to each other. Then she gave me 4 quarters back. I have bunch of coins in my wallet already so I don’t want more coins. She had bunch of dollar bills in the register and didn’t want to give me a dollar.
The way she acted was like don’t want my business. Also, I told her I don’t want extra bag cuz I already have a bag on my hand. She gave me another bag even though I told her I don’t want another bag.
I’m writing this to let the business owner know how this staff wasting your bag and the way she treat «customers»

Love this place, especially if you are desperate for a midnight snack.
I was on my way home from the hooka bar and felt the need for some munchies, no not what you’re thinking lol.
Even though I was a bit disappointed the blueberries weren’t up to my standards I like the fact that they have a ton of options.
Besides for the fruit selection, they have a variety of snacks and candy.
Towards the back if the store they have an open salad bar, spiced olives and much more.
A full selection of dips from hummus to babaganush.
A huge selection of cheeses, I stood there not knowing which cheese I’d pick, somehow I forgot to pick the cheese
Open 24⁄7

Love love love this place. It’s a bit far from my home, but well worth the trek.
This store has introduced me to sooo many fruits and veggies that I would have never tried by going to my local grocer. I recommend this place to everyone. HUGE plus that it’s open 24⁄7.
Staff is friendly, everything is organized… produce is fresh and lasts long. and it’s beyond affordable.
I’ve been telling everyone about 3 Guys! Can’t wait to go back for my next round of produce later this week.

This is properly one of the best grocery shopping place to buy all your needs and fruits. Everything seems neatly organized and placed. All the fruits looks very bright and fresh which is a huge plus for me. Only thing that is bad is they dont offer organic things, for i dont really care but for others they do.
Also this place is opened 24 hours everyday, so that means you could get your fruits and groceries anytime day or night. the staffs seems nice and friendly and the pricing of there produces are fair. I anyways buy my coconut water from this place. overall this place is great will be coming back soon.

Absolutely great variety! Fresh produce! Affordable than your average supermarkets like foodtown or pathmark!
They are open 24/​7, so best time to come her is super duper early or nightime.

They have almost every fruit and vegetable in stock here. Their produce is always very fresh and good. Huge stock of watermelon in the summertime. Has basic grocery items like milk and cheese also. I love getting portobellos here.
Only downside is they don’t really offer organic or much locally grown produce. But they reward you for bringing your own bags (5 cents!). Yay.

The saving grace of grocery shopping! 24/​7, huge variety, & great prices!
I would like to comment on how neat this market is despite it being very big! The guys there definitely work very hard to keep such a huge store so neat and organized. They have a large variety of vegetables, fruits, cheeses, cooking spices, and etc. I love coming here to pick up my salad ingredients such as croutons and different cheeses that they have to offer. The vegetables I have picked up has been always fresh!
I would recommend coming here early in the morning if you’re an early bird or much later — like after dinner if you’re a night owl. Those are the best times to shop because there will be no line and you can pick your batch of fruits in peace and quiet.

I’m just so lucky to live only a couple blocks away from this place! Opens 24/​7, I get to shop for fresh fruits whenever I want! Everything is fresh, stocked up, and well organized.
Shop smart! You may think you’re getting a deal but you’re not if you don’t do your research. Some times I find produce and fruits cheaper at Good Fortune Supermarket, just 2 blocks away next to Pizza Royale. If the item (s) are in season, buy your goods here, otherwise make a 5 minute walk trip to the Chinese market and would have a higher chance of getting it for less.

I love 3 guys! I’ve been going here for ages and it hasn’t failed me ever! My usual routine is to head next door for some dim sum. Afterwards, I immediately check out 3 guys to stock up on fruit!
I have to second the comment below on the pricing. Some prices are good, but some prices are expensive! I don’t know why the prices aren’t consistent. Anyhow, I recommend checking this place out if you are in the market for some fruit and live in the area. I prefer shopping here over the supermarket since I feel the stuff here is fresh.

The produce prices here are staggeringly good. I’m not talking good for Brooklyn, I’m talking good for pretty much anywhere. The cherry tomatoes are 99 cents, for Pete’s sake.
Go grab some dim sum next door, and then stock up on meats, olives, bulk goods, coffee, cheese, nuts, and of course fruits and vegetables. It’s all fresh, and it’s all cheap, and it’s all available 24 hours a day.
If I did all my shopping here, I might even be able to afford the car I’d need to get back and forth from doing all my shopping here. I’m not really sure though. Math is hard.

Most people when they think of affordable vegetables and fruits around the area, they usually think of 8th Avenue’s Chinatown. But what happens if they need some ingredients that is not popular with the Chinese community? Are they stuck with their local Supermarket? Not if they know about this place.
Just a few short blocks further from the 65th Street end of Brooklyn’s Chinatown, this market carries a vast array of fruits, herbs, and vegetables, usually rivaling the freshest available out there, at very competitive prices.
They also carry regular deli items such as milk, eggs, breads, cold cuts, etc. but their produce is what most people come here for.
The place is open 24 hours a day every day and is conveniently within easy walking distance to the nearest N train station. Parking could be a bit of a hassle if you arrive by car since they are popular with the locals. Your best bet for parking is the area by the park next to the market.
