I was pleasantly surprised at all the wonderful foods. I was able to find all the Polish food items to create a wonderful dinner.I will definitely be going back and if you are looking for Russian or Polish items you should go there too!

I like this little store. Good selection of Russia food. Well, there are no more choices nearby. The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because it NEVER opens on time. I had to wait as long as 40 min for it to open in the morning. Why not change the opening time to later if you are never on time??? I just don’t get it.

Good store. Good owner. Good variety of food / groceries. However, watch for outdated просроченные goodies. The owner might not be aware of this fact yet--I couldnt reach her on January 2, 2019. The three sunflower seeds packages contained worms in all of them. Discussing and dangerous. Id still come and shop in there, but would watch carefully and inspect the production date and duration of storage (дата производства и срок хранения). These were made on April 23, 2018 and were sold to me on December 28, 2018.

Purchased Polish Smoked Kielbasa for making borscht for Easter. Excellent flavor. The woman who manages the store was very sweet and encouraged us to call to have her put aside specialty items that are quickly sold. Will return.

It was a good visit, but you need to make sure expiration dates are still good. Good store! Good food!

Managed by a very sweet lady, a surprising amount of options as well. Got some great looking Polish-style kielbasa and sauerkraut pierogis. She picked out that I have Polish ancestry and gave me some little pieces of candy for free. A great experience all around and extremely fair prices. Go check it out!

Went here looking for poppy seed filling to make hamentaschen. They had a large can for $5.49. Can about twice the size of a Solo can. Then the proprietor gave us a tour of all the amazing products. A fun visit and chance to buy unusual items.

Small but great. Not just candy and dried goods like other import shops. Actully got Russian style mayonnaise and dairy. Kvass of course.

Nice store and the owner, but the dog in the food store is against all norms. Especially when instead of keeping it away from customers and taming it, the owner tries to train the customers on how to behave with that dog. Also watch for the outdated products.

Tiny store off the beaten paththat sells Polishitems as well here. Lots of unusual treats for your sweet tooth. I went looking for Polish sausage and pierogies which I found a small selection of. Not yet able to sample but the pierogies were small and similar to what you can normally find.(Publix) Now the wedding sausage looks nice cant wait totry and some knackwurst plus a bottle of Czech beer. The girl was very nice and said if there was something Id like they would try to get it. Plus even with the hidden storefront it was nice to see other customers. 👍

The new owner is excellent, very friendly and makes you feel welcome. She is very familiar with the products and is able to order things on request if there is enough demand. The new owner really gave the business the life it needed. They have food from all over Europe, and the inventory has changed a bit every time I have been there, so its a nice rotation.

The woman who runs this little store is so friendly and helpful, and she even gives out samples on some days. :) Go check it out, dont let the Cyrillic labels scare you off if youre a monoglot like me, she is happy to describe everything for you in as much detail as you need. Well be regular customers for sure. Always fun to explore new foods.

I came here three times during their business hours, as schedule states on the door and on google, doors were locked, I tried calling the number no one answered, not even an option to leave a voice mail.Can’t say anything about selection or prices, never had a chance to check that out, but keep the doors open even there is no one there. I made a special trip every single time. Not doing it anymore.

I have been looking for a Russian food store for a while, and was very happy to find one in Gainesville. /// I have been looking for a Russian store for a long time, and I was incredibly glad to find one in Gainesville. Here you can buy canned goods, herring, drying, sweets, halva, even spices.
