Goodies Mediterranean Market

I'm so glad this store is here. It's within walking distance of me and has great deals on produce! Much more convenient than big box grocery stores. Staff is always very friendly, and I love the cash discount.

I have visited Goodies multiple times in the past 3 years or so. The packaged goods and sweets (nougat/baklava) are decent and veggies/fresh produce arent the freshest but what you see is what you get.nVisited twice since after Covid, to get fresh goat meat. The first time there was goat stew meat which was packaged and kept at the counter, which cooked excellently and was indeed fresh. The second time there was no goat meat packaged at the counter. A lady who was doing the billing/packing, went to the freezer and got a pack of packaged/frozen goat meat. I specifically asked when the meat was cut/packed since I've had bad experience in the past with frozen goat meat from other stores. She assured that it was packed on Monday; I was buying on Thursday. Cooking the meat that night I found that it was stale/old meat; the fat and bones tasted rancid.nI would have appreciated not being lied to. Just for a mere $15 they lost a regular customer.

Little cramped, but that's the price you pay for a good selection in a small location. Staff is friendly, selection is good, but better for staples than every possible potential specialty item you'd want. And bring cash if you can! The staff didn't emphasize it, so no pressure, but they did have a sign up mentioning that it's preferable.

Really good food! Especially the ones with rice. Outdoor seating makes it safer during covid but it's cold outside and you probably don't want to stick around long.

Great source of middle eastern goods and products. Cafe upstairs is really good but I've missed their hours the last few times I've been there.
