Convenient location. Very clean and well stocked
This is my go-to convenience store. D***s out for Babs. The owner and cashiers are always so nice to me and they have tons of different beers and better priced snacks than the nearest grocery stores or corner stores. And whoever is complaining about the deli never being open why would you worry about not being able to intentionally pay more for coldcuts at this place when Whole Foods is 300ft to your immediate left?
I honestly think a lot of the bad reviews youre seeing here are due to Babushka Deli having been classified as a 'supermarket', which it absolutely isn't. It's a specialty & convenience store, and understanding that, it's a good place.
While their selection isn't insane, they have a nice variety of general foodstuffs, Slavic specialty goods, Indian ingredients, and a small wine & beer section. Their Slavic & European goods are the most notable, not being prohibitively expensive and carrying some goods I've struggled to find elsewhere - Tarkhun, Monastery Kvass, fruit compote and Jaffa cakes among others.
The staff is friendly enough and the place has good security, judging by the bank of CCTV monitors above the register. Again, its a convenience store, and just like how you wouldn't do your shopping at a 7/11, its really a place to pop by for snacks, a fun treat, and the thing you forgot from yesterday's shopping trip - and for that, I go to Babushka before anywhere else.
With a change in ownership this place truly turned around! All the food is fresh , a wider selection of wine and beer beyond the basics is now available! You can find a combination of staple Eastern European foods and deli items, as well as some Indian spices and novelties in addition to other convenience store staples like chips and ice cream or soap
This may be the only Eastern European deli/market I've ever been to, but that doesn't stop it from being the best. The new guy running the ship couldn't be more willing to teach my friend and me about the variety of products he has on display. Apparently they just changed ownership, but the store was stocked to the brim and loaded with Eastern European goodies-- heck, we even got free samples! We went in on a whim and ended up staying for almost an hour, perusing through the various boxes of foreign biscuits, dried fish, honey combs and Lithuanian chocolates. This is truly a jewel in the hit-or-miss cracks of Washington Street.
Good variety of snacks and essentials and always well stocked on beer/wine/seltzers etc. The prices can be a little on the high side but that's to be expected at spot like this. super convenient location for Brighton on Washington street
This place has done a complete turnaround with new ownership. I’ve lived in the area for several years and frequently visit. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the products they carry.
Much improved! Previously I would have given this minus one star. The last owner was a truly horrible man.
Now it's been cleaned up and stocked.
Good job and keep it up!
Great store. Very friendly staff, good prices, good hours. Not sure why they have negative reviews
Whatever you need- if you ask for it they will start carrying it just for you! Always friendly, very good, personal customer service, and the best prices- I am a customer for life!
