Garden of Eden Gourmet

My Friend went to the supermarket and bought tiramisu and she found mold inside of it. Omg.

Be careful what you buy as things on shelves are often long past their expiration date. This shouldn't happen in a store this expensive.

I live near by, and come to this place at least once a week. On Feb 26th, 2015 afternoon I brought crumbled goat cheese, next morning when I opened the box there was fungus. I immediately called garden of Eden and informed the manager.

This is not the first time. In 2014, I returned tofu that had gone bad. And multiple times over the year their organic garlic pods had gone bad.

When I raised this issue on the phone, the manger claimed none of the tellers had informed her. When I finally went to the store there was another gentleman, and not the lady I spoke to. He reimbursed the money for the product. He did not quite acknowledge or address the gravity of what is now multiple instances of providing bad produce and dairy products.

Last week, I pointed out that boxes of packed mint leaves had dried out. The staff at the teller simply said, get another box and refused to address the concern. When I pointed out that all the four remaining boxes had dried out. I personally raised the issue with the onsite (female) manger in store about the staff's flippant attitude towards the customer and again informed her about the quality of the produce. She did apologise, and promised to address this issue at their staff meeting.

When I pay a premium for the produce, I expect it to be up to the standards. This is simply unacceptable and I suggest every to play attention to gross health violations.

I will be reporting this to concerned food authorities.

I think this store does a great job of providing fun displays and having plenty of inventory for its NYC and visiting people. The location is just right. Sandwiches are tasty and the name of this place says it all. It is nice just to go in an browse at the selections.

Great neighborhood. This place reminds me of a witch craft store, pretty cool. Semi pricy. Very good quality food.
