I have been coming to Zabar's since 1972. It was the best then. Its the best now - just a whole lot bigger. Don't forget to check out the second floor.

What a gem of a place in Manhattan. Every New Yorker AND every traveller should experience Zabars. Both the supermarket with the brilliant coffee smells permeating through as well as the breads etc, and the cafe. Gourmet food prepared as well as normal groceries. Strudel to die for. And for visitors to NY who are in apartments, go do your... More

This supermarket is located in the Upper West Side neighborhood of NYC. It was just two blocks from the hotel I stayed at. They also have a cafe next door which is a great place to get a bite to eat. They have a great selection of food to choose from to eat that is made fresh daily. Very popular... More

When I'm on the UWS, I always stop by Zabars for some double smoked salmon. No one slices salmon like the professionals at Zabars.

Zabars is quintessential NY. Huge variety of all types of foods from around the world and local. And the bonus is the household goods market on the 2nd floor. Very reasonable prices for all types of kitchenware and more.

Go. Visit. Shop. It's where New Yorker's shop for every day items. It's where tourists go to look at them. I am guilty - I did it too. BUT to my surprise, their roasted coffee is supreme! Our friends order their coffee from here. I bought a pound to take home...now I wish I would have bought more! We also... More

Every time I go to NYC, I make a point of going to Zabars. I love this place! An amazing store.... Gourmet food, kitchen gadgets, an array of fish and cheeses and olives.... And oh, the breads and bagels.... And the coffees and well... The atmosphere! But the real treat is the bustling food bar.... A long crowded table, fabulous... More

You could spend at least an hour browsing the store but the best breakfast on the Upper West Side is at the Zabar's Cafe adjacent to the store. Can't beat a bagel and lox, the pastry selection and the coffee. It's safe to say that tourists shy away from the cafe due to the communal seating and the zoo like... More

A great food emporium on the Upper West Side - we love to shop their cheese specials and can't leave without picking up some Zabar's chocolate!
