Lemon Farm on Postcard

"This Turkish-owned corner store carries a fun array of fancier-than-average nibbles that would make for a great cocktail party. Small artisanal brands share the shelves with less familiar international brands. In addition to fresh fruit and vegetables, they have a good selection of olive oils, chocolates, and charcuterie as well as some more specialty items like fresh baklava, local Beecher’s cheese and bread deliveries from Amy’s and Pain D’avignon." - Diane Shaw

To be honest, while small, the quality of everything they have is better than anything in the neighborhood - including organic supermarket on 84th. Practically any category of food and their choices equal the better stores in Manhattan like Fairway. Only missing some Balthazar bread...

I love this place to get vegetables, organic fruits, and whole wheat rolls. The prices can be high on some items. Overall it's great store. There is a sweet cashier who works there in evenings and always pleasant. Has unique items there too!

I moved out of JH recently and what I miss the most are the coffee beans at Lemon Farm! They have the best fresh coffee beans, well priced & will grind to accommodate any coffee maker. They also have a great selection of bread, olive oil & cheese.

This store offers some items not found close by. However, yesterday I had my second experience of purchasing an item only to discover at home, it was not edible. I was inconvenienced at having to return to the store only to be treated like I was a liar, same as the first time, sadly by the owner. The employees are always very polite and nice. I took the loss of 5.49 and decided to never put myself through that treatment again. Especially when there's so many other choices here in Jackson heights.

Great selection in a small space. Unlike a lot of places that sell higher end grocery items, the staples aren't overpriced. Many items are less expensive than the bigger mainstream grocery stores nearby. Very friendly staff, lots of hard-to-find items, good prices.

CHECK YOUR BILLS BEFORE LEAVING! THEY GIVE COUNTERFEIT BILLS! Today, I went to buy some groceries there and only brought with me a $50 bill. After I finished my purchase, I walked a few blocks and as I was putting my change away noticed the counterfeit $20 they gave me. I returned to Lemon Farm, I spoke with the same cashier and they did not believe me. They claim that I went out and got a fake $20 as if I could be so bothered to do so. They said there is no way that they could have given me that bill and I could have gotten it from a different place or it was a bill I already had. Note, I only have the $50 bill with me and no other additional bills! They called me a liar and they recognize that I am a frequent shopper, but refuse to give me a legitimate bill or admit that they made a mistake. If you don't want to be called a liar or be given counterfeit bill, I high suggest not purchasing your groceries here.

This place has really taken a nosedive under the new owners. I bought bad blueberries there too many times to count and, making matters worse, my complaints fell on deaf ears. I would might have gotten over the rotted fruit problem if they handled it like a real neighborhood corner store that cares about their customers. But these owners are not our neighbors so they don’t care if they’re nasty. And unlike the old owners, who had the same woman working the register for years, these people can’t seem to keep anyone behind the counter for more than a week at a time. It’s dizzying.

This was my favorite store in JH. The one star is for the rude lady behind the counter. I wanted to buy a ciabatta bread, went to pay and she told me that it was $4.99, I said the price tag is $4.69 . She rudely said “but it’s $4.99, do you want it? I said you should honor the price on the bread! Then she said “It’s $4.99, do you want or not”! No apology! Left with no bread!
