Zeytuna, New York, New York Restaurant Details

Food:

Prices are more expensive as whole foods. Store is impossibly small and you can't even navigate the aisles. I was shopping using a reusable grocery bag which I've done there at least 3 or 4 times before, and an employee followed me around...then at the register I got accused of stealing for using my bag. Haven't been back since. All the cashiers are extremely rude and seem to talk about you in Spanish to each other. Seriously, just save your money and sanity and go to Jubilee or CVS.

Food:

So much stuff to find for any occasion here! I have met a friend for lunch in the downstairs area and had some very delicious food. I also really like to stop by here on the way to work to pick up snacks and other things for during the day! I love the selection of pastries and prepared salads. The staff I have interacted with are friendly and always helpful when I need help finding something specific.
Don't be intimidated by the lines around the noon hour - it goes really fast and you should be able to easily find a seat in the large dining area!

Food:

Zeytuna's is an upscale, mediterranean grocery store with possibly the most creatively designed downstairs market and seating area in New York. The colorful mosaic tree at the entrance way to the market, looks like it belongs in Park Guell in Barcelona, with its Gaudi-esque features. It feels fun to go to eat lunch there. The seating ares is large, however the seating sections change...near the soup section, its Japanese themed, with paper lanterns, then it changes again to turquoise tiled tables with old-fashioned stained glass hanging overhead, and then again to a retro-diner theme with red leather booths and black and white checkered floor...it makes you want to stay there to eat your sushi or salad just to enjoy the scenery.

Food:

Zeytuna is a food mecca for this neighborhood. They have everything you could possibly want, as long as you have $$ to spare. Salads, pizza, sandwiches, desserts, salad bar, soup, everything! Make sure you come before 2:30p as it's basically a dead zone afterwards.

I took SO here and we spent over $30+ for lunch. Hot food plate and a drink each. He nor I were expecting this price point, but were happy to say the food was delicious.

Can't say much about their market upstairs, but have tasted cookies purchased by coworkers (yum!). I've heard you do need to be careful with expiration dates though, as baked goods are known to stay out past their shelf date.

Food:

The place is interesting because its a hybrid of a grocery store and and food buffet/deli. There is no credit card minimum, which is a big plus. Also the food is pretty good. I usually get the burritos with extra guacamole and the hale and hearty soup knock-offs.
