Thanks to an amazing personality and a customer service by the new employee Yana, my wife and I have spent more money at this store in the last 2 months than we did in the last 2 years. She’s always attentive and her recommendations have always been on point. Doesn’t feel like a stale Soviet store with her in it. Thank you!
Love this place a lot… because Yana makes it so special. Otherwise, it would be just another grocery
Excellent and very reasonably priced baked goods, and they have bins of what are legitimately the best chocolates I've ever tried (albeit pricey), but as others have noted you have to carefully check the dates on everything, plus make sure the tins are in good condition. A couple times now I've bought jarred or canned products, only to discover they were expired or otherwise spoiled.
If anyone else is from Eastern European region, you will probably want to check out this store.
I had tears of joy when discovered some Hungarian goods here.
These people have wonderful Smetana (like sour cream, but much nicer) as well as dried pastas, canned and tinned imports, specialty breads and those odd looking smoked / pickled fish delicacies (if that's your thing).
Fresh cakes, anyone?
Very hard working respectful attentive accomadating in every way staff, always greet you and help you with everything you need don't expect Russians to give you fake smiles in response to rudeness like they do in western culture and it's interesting that most people complaining about that are Russians themselves. I've bought items from every section of the store for years and never had anything spoiled or outdated, always leave the store with a smile
Loved to treat my family with
Multiple choices of international food .
Great Eastern European shopping experience. Loving the cold cuts and selection of traditional breads. My favorites are the herring, honey and kefir. Unique selection of cheeses.
Russian Gourmet is the closest Russian grocery near me. Before, I used to have to go 2 hours to Baltimore to find one. This is a well stocked store, particularly pastries and breads. I CRAVE black Russian bread, particularly for toast in the morning, or a midnite snack.
My only complaint with this store (and the other one in Baltimore, as well), is the lack of English labels accompanying the Russian products. I know that might be a big chore, but it sure as hell would sell more products. I am a sucker for trying almost anything new, but it is sometimes impossible to know what some products in the store are.
GREAT homemade black bread. I will be for that and more of their sausages!
My family and I have been coming here since I was 11 years old! We love this place because this is our only connection to getting real authentic meat and candy. I hope this place stays open forever! This is the cornerstone to any kid who wants to get authentic Russian food and treats.
I am very surprised by so many negative reviews. I’ve been avoiding the store because of them, but this is the closest store near my house, so decided to try and go. I’ve been there several times by now and customer service is always great. Cashiers are always very friendly and nice. I cannot say anything bad. I recommend this store to everyone.
Great pastries (I had the farmers cheese and something else (?)) and fairly good selection of grocery foods. I also had the carrot salad; when I go back again it seems like it would go well with something with a light flavor. The farmer cheese was super sharp with a great,creamy flavor. Going by what other people had said about the pastries, the owners when I went pointed out to me which foods at the counter were fresh, so I guess it depends a lot on what you get and who you get it from.

Nice store, but has a lack of personnel. Spent about 25 min today, waiting in the checkout line for my turn. Wish they would also re-establish their licence to sell Georgian wines.
The store has lots of items from fresh cheeses to fresh deli meats, sausages, and bacon. You can also find European products as well sushi as Hungarian salamis and sausages. We love this store.
Love love this store!! Not cheap, but you will find what you are looking for. All the yummy sausages, pickles, smoked meat they have are amazing. Sweet treats, and fresh cheese..
