Inwood Gourmet

I found MY experience at The Inwood Gourmet to be as true as it’s name. The cheese, the olives, the produce and the service is just that. A WONDERFUL Gourmet experience and an opportunity to pamper, indulge and expand one’s palate coupled with the warm, inviting and knowledgeable staff. I both recommend and have recommended the visit to Friends and Family.

Always great conversation with owner/operator Lauren Skoulatos and her family, as well as Ms Kayla on most weekends this is a spot where you will find exclusive quantities of Inwood neighborhood knowledge together with excellent foods not available nearby including sundry gourmet sauces many made locally or in NYC, flavored olive oils and vinegars drawn from drums into your own bottle (or theirs), fresh slices of Baklava and, perhaps our current Inwood Gourmet favorite, a savory-sweet vegan sausage made with figs and spices. Seriously excellent.

This little gem is a wonderful addition to an already special neighborhood. It's small in size but offers a huge variety of cheeses, olives, olive oils, breads, and prepared foods. Being of Greek origins, the owner and chef offers lucky customers wonderful Greek dishes. The spinach and feta pie, and Greek chicken soup, are amazing. Go see, smell and taste for yourself. You are welcome.

We LOVE this shop. Inwood is so lucky to have this specialty store with homemade Greek dishes, yummy spinach pies, olives to die for, and tons of cool condiments from all around the city. The owners are super sweet and fun to chat with as well. It's also a good spot to buy high quality cheese.

Love this little gem and the owner, Lauren, is the sweetest. Great selection of indie products in pretty jars, fresh produce and the best Greek yogurt. Don’t miss the in house and locally/tri-state sourced baked goods...to die for.

This is a great small business. We get legit Greek yogurt from there every week. They also have a great selection of cheeses from around the country and solid naan and pita breads. The people running the store are always extremely friendly and willing to help you find anything you need. You can even put in a request for orders to pick up in a day or two.

While I was searching for a place that sells sweet treat, I came across this cheese shop – a quite unlikely place for sweets. What I was after was some macarons, and yes, they had them! So, all intrigued and curious, we headed to Inwood Gourmet. They sell local cheese, some special and artisan, including vegan kind. They also have all kinds of olives, and Greek items. And, according to their sign, “best bagels EVER” are also sold. The inside was not too big, there were two ladies, possibly the owner and her daughter? They were very nice and greeted us with a smile. They didn’t really bother us while we looked around, until we asked questions about some of the things they have. The most noticeable items in the store were these silver containers, and whole lots of olives. The containers had different kinds of olive oil and vinegar, I thought they were awesome. You can have a little sample of each before deciding which one to buy, which was really cool and helpful. Speaking of sampling, they had sample of cheese that they sell. We bought their "best bagels EVER" - we could not resist - some macarons, and 1 bottle of artisan vinegar and olive oil, both poured from the silver containers. Both ladies were really nice and helpful, and before I started to try to pour the olive oil into the bottle, the older lady asked if I wanted her to do it, as she is so much more used to it. Great help, I don’t know if I could have done it without making a mess. They also told me a bit about their cheese, and answered any and all questions we had. Really friendly, and that made it such a pleasant visit. I will definitely go back for more of their offering, especially when I finish my vinegar and oil.

I had the best experience here today/yesterday! I needed preserved lemon for a recipe which I've heard can be hard to find. Well it is hard to find because I went to Fairway, Citarella, and Whole Foods and none of them had it. My last stop was Inwood Gourmet, where Lauren told me she also didn't have it BUT she could call her friend in Queens who might. The next day I got a call from Lauren saying she got the preserved lemons and I could come pick them up any time. Amazing! So happy to have this place I'm my hood. Next time I'll skip all the other stores and just go here first!
