A & N House of Produce

The prices are fantastic. I could see everyone was working hard inside the store. I appreciate that. The deli counter hoagie was FIRST RATE. THEY MADE A GORGEOUS HOAGIE. thank you. And the fresh pressed juices that they make in the store were delicious. I definitely will be back. Thank you , A & N for helping with affordable prices for produce and fruits and other products. (I got the locally made yogurt. SOOO creamy and delicious). Keep up the good, hard work.

Great produce, but the employees behind the produce counter and deli counter are unfriendly and rude. They don't open their mouths to say hello and they carry on a conversation with their coworker the entire time they're doing your transaction. They pretend they don't speak English and can't answer your questions, but they're speaking English to each other the whole time.

Always A Clean and Pleasant Environment, the staff are ready to help and the Produce is Always Perfect

I went to the Stenton Avenue location and tried to purchase 5 bags of plantain chips already pre priced by the manufacturer for 99¢ each. The female black cashier wants to charge $1 each. She refused to sell it to me for 99¢ each even though they had a sign on the shelf that says 99¢. Keep in mind she already has 5¢ from me from my previous purchase. She still refuses to sell it to me. I left without it.

The workers are the nicest people ever! Especially, this young Talia working. She was the kindest and sweetest girl ever! Overall I had a great time and had the best grocery’s i’ve seen in along time!

Seamoss is excellent. The vegetables are super fresh. The cashiers are extremely polite and very helpful. I will be going there today for veggies for my Xmas dinner.

Yall... These MF hoagies tho 🥵🥵... Lawd gone get you 1... Also cute little local spot has all the produce you'll need with great customer service

I love this produce market. Everyone is always very professional, nice and helpful. However today a little disappointed that you are selling seeded watermelons for $18. This watermelon is nowhere near ripe nor do I see any seeds(real black seeds). I will never buy a seeded watermelon from you guys again this early in the season.

This is my quick little go to spot, they have a complete deli on one side. My favorite side of course are where they sell the fruits they always have a really nice variety. I absolutely love that they've had seeded watermelons this year, I've been purchasing one every weekend. I bought some lychees, brussel sprouts and a watermelon on Sunday m. I think it's great that they have Sunday hours. While your inaise people are constantly refilling items that are running low. They have fresh bread and wraps from the local bakery. Fresh pressed juices, herbs, herbal teas. They also sell sour sop nectar and seamoss in a variety of flavors. All different types of nuts!! The inside is always clean and organized. Try them out you won't be disappointed.

customer service is horrible due to its inability to provide a respectable employee of witch reflects the community. This company dose not respect the community or the service they offer.

GREAT selection and good prices. The staff can be very unfriendly and downright rude most of the time, specially the cashiers. But it's still worth the produce.

My wife and I have been eager to go here. We've heard rave word of mouth reviews. So we finally went over there. The parking lot is crazy. Park here or there or anywhere. The shopping cart set up seems extremely foolish. You can't get in the store without going through a wave of carts. Then you can't get back out of the store because..... carts. The items they have seem haphazard. I don't think you can get all the ingredients to make a full meal. Lots of chips and bread. Merzbacher's on the shelf which is cool. The cheese was not anywhere near the expiration date but was completely moldy on the bottom. I must love wasting money. If I would've looked it over closer I guess I could've seen it. They didn't give me a receipt after I paid and I thought that was weird. However after reading the other reviews I see that's commonplace. The prices are very cheap but I hear they aren't always steady. The deli and the store are split weird and there is no space to wait at the deli. The place in general is pretty cramped. I just don't think we are going to go here again.

Nice little neighborhood market.. you have your dairy section, produce, bulk (items prepackaged), deli section and even baking items. They don't carry everything like the bigger grocery stores do. But this market offers just enough so you don't have to drive around town, looking for the commercial grocery

First time customer, and I was astounded! I bought a bottle of cranberry juice, a bag of raisins, a bag od grapes, and bag of jelly beans, a loaf of wheat bread, a bag of pears, a Yogi tea and a loose tea that was ah-mazing! I think it was $30. Loved it and will return for certain.

Wow what an amazing little shop. The prices are ridiculously low and they have an amazing assortment of fruit and veg. Herbs are $1 each and they have pretty much every standard fresh one you'd want in your kitchen. They also have a bunch of spices, different breads, and a deli counter with all dietz & Watson meats. They have sales often--for example salami was $6.50/lb today--but even without 'em, the prices are on the money! Cool finds include concord grapes, star fruits, Florida avocados, lychees, and three types of cucumbers. It's pretty much entirely black-run and I'm presuming black-owned? I could be wrong but I hope so bc I'll definitely be back and I'd love to support black businesses! Go here for produce, great quality at amazing prices.

A&N on Greene and Harvey is the best! The owners and the staff are incredibly helpful. I frequent the store to grab essentials for my family and they're also able to accommodate larger orders for my business. Not only is it cheaper and more convenient than a lot of big chain stores, it also gives me the ability to speak directly with the person in charge of purchasing produce from farms and markets I can't access so they can get exactly what I need at the best price. I've heard others complain about customer service deficiencies here, but I can honestly say that everyone here has been extremely kind, helpful and professional over the years I have been shopping here. I wish other businesses in the area had the same quality staff and standards.

I've been coming here for years. The fruits and vegetables are always FRESH. And so much cheaper than the SUPERMARKET. The Deli department has good lunch meats also. Especially the hoagies, always nice and fresh and delicious The place stay packed all the time, Can you imagine if the place was larger than it is.. It's very hard to move around in the store with the shopping carts, but we do make it happen. I will still shop there still the end

True to the store's name, this store focuses on selling produce. Most items range from the occasional dollar for a grab bags (apples, some citrus fruits, bananas) to some pricer items (watermelon pineapple peppers) which are still priced reasonably. They prefer you using cash but do take credit (they add a surcharge). You have to keep a mental log of your items because they don't give you an itemized receipt for your purchase There is another section of the store where they sell sandwiches/hoagies and deli meats. In my opinion, they are better than subway but not as great as Wawa's.

Went to the new HV location on opening day... Awesome! So excited to have these folks in the neighborhood!!! Extremely clean and well laid out store. Good mix of "normal" and unusual produce. Great local breads and dairy (tried the bread: great, haven't tried the yogurt yet). Everyone I spoke to there was friendly and helpful.

There is no cash register receipt so you need to keep a running total here. I've stopped shopping here because they seem to always overcharge you. They really need to get their act together.

Produce is usually fresh. Parking lot is terrible I definitely try to park on the side street. Prices seem to go up and down daily so I'm usually doing the math in my head while I'm shopping. Staff use to be really nice and attentive. Lately most of them including the owner just seemed to be annoyed .

Buyer beware! Every visit will be a different experience from the last. A good deal today doesn't mean a good deal tomorrow. Freshness, quality, pricing are never consistent. It's always hit and miss. If you don't force it, you can sometimes find good deals. There are times when I look around and nothing I buy regularly is of good quality. I just don't buy from A and N that day. ALWAYS do the math. Cashiers rely on memory. Their memories aren't that great. They're wrong a lot. I think they bank on many patrons who use govt assistance cards to not pay close attention. Health Department rates them at about a "C-". I wonder how the BBB would rate them for over-charging at the register? On the other hand, it's great to have a store offering "fresh" produce in the area.

This is my once a week stop for veggies, fruit and eggs. They have a good variety of seasonal produce, with a selection of exotic offerings like jackfruit. They have reasonable prices, I can walk out with 3 bags of produce for $20! They have also begun taking debit/credit cards, there is a .50 charge for using credit. I love that they have your basic fresh herbs for $1, so I can always have fresh basil, parsley, thyme and dill on hand. My only advice is to tally up you purchases as you go. The clerks use memory to count up your purchase and are often over or under in their math. All in all a great neighborhood resource!

Yes I love the store, they are always stocked and they are very reasonable. The staff is always friendly and willing to assist if necessary. I love it there.

I've been going here for years off & on. I'm always reminded of just how rude some of the checkout women can be at times!

I totally have a love/hate thing going with this place. Great prices and food is actually good but Chile the customer service is thee absolute worst! Asking a question is almost impossible and don't ever expect a hello, or thank you. I would love to frequent this place but the cashiers are nasty ppl. Period.

A & N is WONDERFUL!!! The staff that stock the shelves are so very helpful and Friendly!! The cashier's up front are fast and know the prices!! I have just 1 complaint. It's that they could be a little more gentle with the fruits & produce that the customer is buying.. Rather banging the vegetables and fruits into the plastic shopping bag.. They end up bruised.. Other than that, they're quick and have no time to chitchat during peak for.. There are Sooooo many different items for sale... Prices are fabulous.. many organic choices. They also have a deli on the other side.. prices are by the 1\2 lb. This place is great!

9/7/2015 I agree, the prices of A & N produce cost less than the items at the supermarket. However, you must keep track of which fruits and veggies are in Season - in order to get the best quality items for your money. It makes no sense to spend good money for low quality produce. Many of the items there are of low quality - most of the time. If you cannot enjoy the fruits and veggies, whats the point of spending your money for produce that are inferior in taste and quality, that you end up dumping? I'm just saying...

Horrible service by who seems to be the owner. I was not allowed to choose the mangos I wanted. A Russian looking guy came out and grabbed all the boxes of mangos from 3 other customers and myself who were trying to choose the mangos(unblemished ones)we wanted. We were told we do not have a choice of what mango we would be purchasing. In his words "they are all the same". I won't be returning.

Since it's less than 5 minutes away, A&N is my go-to spot for fresh produce (I'm also a big fan of Produce Junction, especially the flowers (!) but they're a little out of the way). The staff's friendly, hardworking, knowledgeable and QUITE efficient--I'm usually in and out in less than 15 minutes. Things I love: the quality and variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, spices, etc. and obviously, the prices. The amount of money I save shopping here versus the produce section in the grocery store allows me to fund a monthly gym membership with change to spare for my travel fund. I call that winning, friends. They're CASH ONLY; however, they do have an ATM onsite and the fee is $1.50 (unlike other ungodly amounts I've been charged). There's also a deli. The line for folks wanting a hoagie is usually pretty steady so I'd take that as a good sign (haven't tried one yet). Also, they've introduced me to a few new species of things and I love how eager they are to tell you how to cut or prepare it and what it pairs with, etc. It's like having the awesome, kind, generous neighbors you've always wanted to ask for sugar be, well, your neighbors!

*Another couple pluses I omitted in my last review: 1) Their hoagies are a bargain & great, most of the time! (Most are $5, which is pretty cool! (I do get them though they're NOT made with ORGANIC ANYTHING. That's right! Wrong on my part probably but it's hard to be perfect.) 2) there's a parking lot, which I think is a nice thing though I don't need it cause I'm a 3 minute walk away. ****This is another update. I wanted to say a little more about their hoagies I've had quite a bit -- 10-12x's now, probably. The clerks making them CAN BE ASSES IN THE WAY THEY Don't ALWAYS ABIDE BY WHAT THEY 're told how to do the sandwich. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED ABOUT THAT. I'd like to omit a star but can't cause I'm editing this, not updating. Yelp can be a Problem!!!

I don't know how I got by before without A & N. I had a full cart today of veggies, fruits, and spices and the total was $20.00. They always have great deals. Blueberries for $1, Zucchini Noodles for $2.00, a bag of oranges for $2.50. The only con is the isles are so small so it gets crowded easily, but I don't mind that much.

Have great produce, great prices, now take cards, helpful staff, patient customers, good selection on whole grains and legumes, fun dried fruit and other snacks. Kudos! 4/5 only b/c they don't have more organic produce and the entrance doors are often dirty.

I love this place - the best grocery selection, and the cheapest grocery prices anywhere. It's not the right place for buying other things cheaply, but on fruits and veggies, they can't be beat. There's nothing wrong with the service, it's sort of just non-existent. It's a small store and you just take the stuff and bring it to the registers. There are plenty of cashiers, always, and I've never had problems with them or the customers. It's very ethnically mixed, everybody shops here, it's like Philly's best kept secret. There was a lady complaining in another review about some rude guy who might have been Russian that prevented her from getting mangoes - sure, could have happened, though I've never run into any fellow ex-Russians at the store, and I don't believe it's run by anybody from Eastern Europe. It's still worth going! You can't beat the prices!!!!!!!!

Not too long ago My doctor gave me the bad news that unless I made some changes, I would not be around much longer to write these awesome Yelp reviews. He also suggested a diet to follow and it is heavy on fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. I have been to produce junction before and frankly, if I were juicing, it might be a good option but for actual solids their quality is not good enough for me. In my naivety, I compiled my shopping list and headed over to Whole Paycheck. $250 later (for a weeks worth of produce) I left there feeling...not right. I searched for good produce in the city and found out about A&N. Ironically, they are located a half mile from my former apartment (and my doctor) but I never knew about them when I lived there. Once my Whole Foods cache was depleted, I set out all the way to the opposite side of town to A&N. I had the same shopping list as the previous week. I walked into A&N and started shopping. The place is a tiny little maze of produce shelves and yet it is intelligently laid out so that it is not difficult to find anything. There are also many employees, stockers and cashiers, who are very friendly and helpful finding the few items that are not in plain sight. (actually they were in plain sight once I looked in the right place). Most items are grouped in bags ranging from 3 of an item up to a dozen or so. the prices fluctuate with season, availability and ripeness but most items are priced from $1 up to about $3. There is also a section of grains and one of spices. I completed my list and checked out. Although there are cash registers, they are used more like adding machines. As they check you out, they count up a tally. Every once in a while they reach a critical number and enter it into the register before resuming the tally count. My $250 Whole foods list? $45 at A&N. Wow! By the way, they are cash only so be prepared. By the way, I have never been in there but there is also a room with a deli behind the checkouts. The parking lot is cramped and tight and I have had more near misses there than anywhere else I frequent. There is also street parking, which also makes it easier when departing due to the one way streets taking most shoppers in the wrong direction. I love this place and visit weekly. I just wish they were easier for me to get there.

I went here for the first time yesterday after just coming across it a couple of weeks ago. How have I been living 3 minutes from here and never saw it?! lol Anywho, I went and was super nervous because I obviously didn't know what to expect. When I walked in, I was slightly overwhelmed of how much stuff there was in such a small space and how cheap it was! Let's see what I can remember what I got: *bag of onions *bag of yams *bag of green peppers *bag of red peppers *bag of baby carrots *container of spinach - medium sized *two large mangoes *bag of flax seed *bag of brown sugar *bag of whole wheat couscous *container of strawberries *one bunch of romaine lettuce TOTAL = $17. Holy freakin night! lol When he told me the total I was in shock. For $17 at Acme, I would have walked out with probably just the mangoes, strawberries and red peppers. So I definitely know where my produce market is now. And I love how close it is to my apartment. I could seriously run there, get some things and run back all within probably 30-40 minutes! The checkout people know their stuff. The guy didn't even punch in the numbers in the register - so if you are really tight with your money, just make sure that you tally up what you're spending so that it matches with what the cashier tells you. The only reason I docked a point (it really should be half a point) is because of the portions. For instance, the romaine lettuce that I got was only a dollar (yay!), but, I would have rather purchased like 2 or 3 for $1 or $1.50. If I were to get a package of three from the grocery store, it would have been the same price. But it does cut down on wasted food which is good. The same thing goes for the dry stuff like the brown sugar I purchased. It only has 2 cups in there for a $1.75. Either way, I'm still going to get those things here because I felt like the quality was better than the supermarket. Sorry for the long post, but I just really wanted to say how awesome this place is. Also, I was wondering if anyone knows if it truly is only open on Tuesdays???

This produce junction is very nice with such a wide variety of fruits & vegetables. The employees are very helpful and they even started making veggie noodles that you can buy! For instance, I brought beer noodles and they also have zuchinni noodles (zoodles) and yellow squash noodles as well! Veggie noodles are a great substitute for pasta.

A&N bills them self as a bit of a health food store, but it doesn't have your standard health food store food--no tofu, no supplements, etc. What they do have is pretty good produce and pretty awesome produce. Oh, and POM juice. A few months back I read something about a lady getting into an altercation with the owner over some spoiled berries she bought, but I haven't had any problems with quality or service. They also have bags of beans, couscous, corn meal, turbinado (raw sugar), and loaves of bread and one of the widest selections of tea that I've seen in a non-tea store all for roughly $1.50. Though most of the produce is seasonal (a plus in my book), they always have the staples and usually even have fresh herbs. I generally stop here every night on my way home to get dinner, as does the rest of the neighborhood. A deli is also in the building (you pay at the same register), and though they have reasonably priced (and pretty yummy) sandwiches, this is not the place to get lunch meat for the week. Eggs and milk are also available and pretty reasonable. This is a CASH ONLY establishment. There is a line for check out from 8am til 7pm, but it moves quickly. Definitely check it out. UPDATE: I found tofu there yesterday, though they only have firm--no extra firm.

This is my favorite place in the city to get produce! (Even though the fruit sellers in Reading Terminal are much closer with comparable prices. Irrational love of Germantown; can't fight it) It's a no frills establishment, but don't be scared by the lack of labeling, bright lighting, and decorations. Whatever keeps the prices where they are is fine by me. The tables are always laden with Tons of fresh fruit and vegetables no matter the season. They are sold as sets in clear bags instead of individually. Most bags are around $1.50 or $2. Where else can I get a nice bag of cherries in winter for $2? Or 5 red bell peppers for $2? If I lived closer by, I'd be coming here every day. They've also got bags of herbs, both fresh and dried, and candy for the less healthful sweet tooth. Don't be afraid of the line either - the no-nonsense cashiers are more efficient than McDonald's. I usually forget that the deli exists, but it is there and I've had a positively delightful turkey hoagie from there. Another nice plus: parking lot. And unless you like ATM fees, definitely remember to bring your cash. You won't need much :)

I went to this place for the first time on Friday around 3:30pm after passing it for ages on the XH bus. I was actually looking for a farmers market when a friend recommended it so I stopped in. As soon as I walked in, it was "Chef Heaven". First of all it was clean and that's what I look for first. It was 4 cashiers and man was it busy but the line was constantly moving. I brought a bag of oranges, 2 bags of plums, bag of bananas, bag of garlic, bag of jalapenos, a container of baby spinach, 2 bags of gummy worm candy, a 5lb bag of potatoes, bag of lemons, bag of baby carrots, and 2 bunches of scallions. Bet you cant guess how much it cost, well I'll tell you $14.50. I was very happy because the garlic alone in the market would of ran be 6.00 alone and I wouldn't of got nearly as much as I did for 1.00. It deserves 4.5 stars. It was some things that I was like I'm not paying that because at Walmart or somewhere else, I could get it cheaper. Also I'm a bargain shopper so I make sure to compare to what's on sale but I don't think it gets any better than this. Now location wise, I'm sold. Ill ride the XH for a few minutes and be in and out. I would recommend it to anyone who loves fresh produce and fruits but don't want to spend fresh money. Next time I have to get some fresh herbs because it was well priced as well. My tip is to not take your kids because that candy section has everything and they will be bugging you. Also they take EBT for those that have it. I wished I had one at that moment, I would of brought the whole store (well majority of it). I would recommend it to everyone and anyone -MiMi

I live around the corner and love to come here for produce i however wish that there things were local / organic being this is Germantown but I deal with it.. The stuff is dirt cheap Which is good .. My one qualm with getting such a large selection for so little is that sometimes I don't need that much of a certain item . I love the inexpensive grains etc especially the quinoa .. Some non produce items are z little higher than other places but all in all a really good part of the neighborhood.. I dropped a star because though I personally don't eat meat their deli has 2 slicers which means that all types of meats are sliced on the same slicer which to me is funky since the girl there doesn't clean the blades after each cut to ensure there is no cross contamination of the meats . And if one slicer is broken I've seen them slice meat and cheese on the same one which is y I stopped buying cheese there

Me and my girlfriend come here and grocery shop every two weeks !! Love it !!! Great for vegetarians and vegans who have to consume larger amounts of veggies and fruits . EXCELLENT prices for good quality !!

The staff know us by name as I bring my children every week. You can't beat the prices and the selection is very good, except in terms of organic produce. The employees/owner often give my son a banana or pickles to eat as we shop. It's very sweet. If you can, go between 9-11am, that is the least crowded time and the store is a tight space.

Decided to head over to the local produce place in mt airy. The only thing holding this place back is how limited it is. BUT what they do have to offer is extremely fresh and great prices. It's a tiny shop and beware they only take cash! We left with some canapés, strawberries, and a mango for just the loose dollars in our pockets. Great deal, it's a good place to go when you forgot"...that one thing"

I am writing an updated review, because I am again in love with this produce store and it really is a hidden gem. I really do get amazing produce at equally amazing prices (and I am fussy about my produce). I especially love when they get more unique items like fresh figs, lychees or different varieties of mango and have them on sale for very decent prices. I also get really good deals here on avocados...easily the best prices anywhere. Some items, once in awhile, I know I can get cheaper at Shoprite, but in terms of everyday good prices and quality, A&N rocks, plus the service is really friendly. I am still keeping that one star off, though, because the parking lot remains a disaster, but I'm not sure what can be done about it with the space they have. I try to get there early on a weekend morning and don't have many issues at those times.

One of cashiers was horrible. She talked about me to another cashier right in front of my face. Then she short changed me.

The produce and selection of bulk items are set at great prices compared to other grocery stores and they have bagels there that are bakery fresh and delicious! Deli has great sandwiches according to my husband. It is...Cash only so be prepared to do some math in your head before the register. It is tight when it comes to shopping especially on the weekends so come early or late and try to park on the side street Harvey (just be aware it's a one way street off of Greene! ).

For a neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of walkable grocery stops, this place is a gem. Some of the produce is a little hit or miss (super pesticided/never goes bad). The prices are really good though.

This is my go to market for my veggies and fruits. I can get my favorite bundles such as oranges, apples, pears, onions, peppers, potatoes and plaintains for just a couple of bucks a bag. Everyone is always very friendly and its multicultural friendly so you can get a good variety of asian, european and caribbean goods here. I've never used the deli section (since I'm not a big sandwich person), but I've heard it's great too. A++

Realitively small inside. But the produce that I received was nice and fresh. I'll be returning.

A great store for the neighborhood. When they get good deals, we get great prices. The quality of the produce and service are very good.

I love that A and N offers affordable produce but the PLASTIC is awful! Every single thing is wrapped in plastic! Please A and N consider an alternative!!!!

Just returned to A & N and remembered how inspiring the quality of the produce is. This immigrant owned & staffed operation is efficient, consistent and offers great looking,tasting and affordable produce. I specifically like the greens offered which are never brown, wilted or limp and always fresh or they don't put them out. The mixed heritage staff of African, Carribeans, Central-American and Russians always seem to be laughing and having fun as they work diligently. Be very careful with that hectic, parking lot at peak times! Pull in and out of spaces very gingerly!

Love this place!! Good products, fruits, veggie, flowers, candy and an excellent deli with the best prices all around!! Plus everyone that works there is very nice!!!

The prices are awesome. 1 star. Store laid out with good Feng Shui. 2nd star. NOW let's get into why no more stars. CASH ONLY, but this isn't posted anywhere. They make aware of that, and the ripoff ATM at the front of the store AT CHECKOUT. So you leave your items at the register to get boned for $1.50. Then, you come back to the register to complete the transaction, and the cashier looks at you from a different register like "Da F you want?". Leaving you standing there long enough to make you head for the door, then "oooh, I'm ready!" I was here about a decade ago, it was under the old ownership. It was Produce Junction, and it was great. I miss the Asian people that had this place before. I'll be back, IF I'm in the neighborhood, IF I need fruits & veggies. Never going out of the way again, though.

Lately the quality of the fruits and veggies is very very lowGrapes and berries always look they went bad before hitting the shelf, but still ready to sell. I really liked this place especially since it's the only produce store in my area. I really wish the up the quality

I moved from an area that had a Produce Junction so I was buying good quality/cheap produce. I am very satisfied with A&N because the produce is right in the same price range as PJ. The staff is very friendly and super fast. Also, I noticed the food is of good quality and variety. I highly recommend this place.
