This location has undergone renovations to improve the shopper's experience and add greater selections. The aisle unfortunately are still narrow and get heavily congested. In other words, it's a tight squeeze. However, like any renovations, money must be accrued in order to offset the cost of renovations. And this cost is passed on to the consumer in the way of higher prices. The renovations were necessary in order to compete with the mega Super Foodtown which opened up only 2 blocks away. ShopFair still has that latino, neighborhood feel and targets the latino demographic. Whereas Super Foodtown is more high end and is clearly targeting and appeasing the recent gentrification demographic in The Heightz. Due to the gentrification, many smaller, local businesses have had to close their doors. So congrats to ShopFair (formerly known as Associated) for realizing the only way to stay afloat was to make improvements for the gentrification demographic.

This is what I call my budget supermarket. I come here to get certain items especially if I'm there during times of short lines (best before 3pm.) The produce, meat and deli areas here are areas I visit only out of desperation. So only when there's a thunderstorm out or I'm super pressed for time. Aside from those 3 areas, the rest of the food is probably 'safe'. There can be a lot of congestion in the isles or on the line as they only have room for 1 shopping cart to fit easily at a time side by side. They do not accept american express or most credit cards (debit cards welcome.) Do not bring any cut off coupons from anywhere they do not honor them. In my experience if it looks questionable in any way shape or form don't risk it. Definitely have your eyes open for things of a questionable nature here especially on discount items which may not be fresh.

Interesting DR (Dominican Republic, I suppose) up to date supermarket version of your classic bodega. Not sure if I like it better than these mom and pop type stores that have some real people vibe. The offerings were standard fare as in all similar supermarkets. No stopping "progress" I suppose, but I wish for some reincarnation of the forever ailing Fairways. My 2 cents. France, and even Paris for that matter are so much more civilized than even /especially our moneyed but clueless 2 percenters. Admittedly the friendly and smiling cashier was the best experience ever. Even though she was in the middle of setting up her cash register, she stopped and graciously weighed the papaya I had been coveting.

I lived in Washington Heights for many years. In my opinion most people in the community are hard working, friendly, and repectful. Because of this I travel from the Bronx to The Heights for alot of my needs. I began doing my food shopping at Shop Fair for a few years now. They have a great variety of food produce that I believe is second to none. You can purchase food to cook yourself or food that is already cooked. Also, they have a butcher on the premises. This way you can order fresh cut meat of your choice.

This is my first time in this Shop Fair supermarket, I really liked it. It's nice and clean and the shelves were nicely stocked. The prices were pretty reasonable considering everywhere you go nowadays it's so expensive. They sell hot food as well, the next time I will probably try the hot food, it looks good so I'm going to give it a whirl. I'll let you all know my honest opinion. The cashier was a nice young lady and was very pleasant. I enjoyed my experience there today. I will be going back.

Terrible place. Pork comes half fat (I mean with the skin of the animal) hidden underneath the stew pieces. The same with chicken thighs - the skin is pilled and placed underneath the thigh. So you actually buy about 40% of the meat in pure fat without knowing. The fat content of course is not labeled. So it is a surprise when you start cooking and throw away almost half of the meat you purchased. Just terrible. I would rate this food market negative 5 stars if that was an option.

I have passed this place many times and today I ventured in looking for fresh rolls. What I got was delicious chicharrones, fried plantains, fresh greens and cherries.They also have oatmeal and typical Dominican breakfast that reminded me of my undergrad days. The prices are reasonable but English isn’t very strong here so at least know the basics if you need help. The other hot food lunch specials looked delicious.

  • Tony Melendez

  • E Alvarez

Lots of their prices are cheaper than the new (Super Food town of Washington Heights) one block down. Now they even have oven pizza, and they add a small BUFFET in case that you are shopping and want to grab a slice of pizza or something to eat, From the Buffet. Thanks for the water too (Nestle Pure Life gallon $1.49) down the block $2.50, lately they have plenty of it.

  • Eric B Gordon

This market is understaffed in the checkout section. There's almost never express service, and it is counterproductive for half the lanes to be closed when you've got customers shopping for the week lining up all the way to the back. There should be at least two automatic check out lanes, if human personnel aren't going to be hired.

  • Cesare Civetta

Cashier's always ring up a higher price on items than labeled. A Dominican man that i Think works there was screaming and yelling in Spanish the whole time i waited on two lines. Very unpleasant. The purple potatoes i bought a few days ago quickly started top rot. I only go there because the prices may be less than food town.

  • Ziomara Velazquez

I love this Supermarket because it has all of the latin seasonings and products that the supermarket next to me never carries. Plus, they have really great sales on certain items. The vegetables and fruits are always fresh and the staff are very helpful. I will always shop here as long as they keep up the great work!

  • martina kerrison

Nice,customer service, the cashier was absolutely lovely. Just one problem I didn't like the way the butcher cut the meat I purchased. Even though I asked him to cut it better, he still did not cut all of the meat. I was extremely disappointed .$60.00 spent on meat, and they lost a customer, unfortunately.

  • Roja Adhikari

We can find everything we want over there. Great selection of produce, groceries. The only problem is I don't understand Spanish and the employees only speak Spanish so sometimes it's hard for me to know the location of things. I guess they should know English as well so that they can help everyone.

  • Mario Delucca

Excellent service, friendly staff and large selection of groceries. They also have a prepared food section that everyone should try. The manager, Mr. Firmin is the best. He is always on the floor helping around. Please check this supermarket out. You will not regret it.

  • Monica Tavarez

  • Michael Quinones Jr

Very neat clean organized with very nice deals for shopping with free delivery cashiers have treated me very nice and were informative when I asked about certain items on sale. I would highly recommend this supermarket for shopping

  • Phulanito Perencejo

Twice I've gone running to get there before their closing hours and 10 minutes before they won't let you in. If they're closing 10-15 minutes before then they should change their closing hours to not mislead customers.

  • Jamel “Poetic Justice” Burgess

New and improved supermarket. It was expanded as of recently and the new deli department and fast service and an overall great experience. Quality of food is beyond superb. I definitely recommend this place to others.
