Yes, and I avoided it for its first year of operation, even though I live a block away, because of that. But since then I've discovered how good it really is, and now when I shop for provisions to make dinner, I now choose it every time over the Whole Foods, Fairway and Trader Joe's that also are easily accessible to me. (We're spoiled in Chelsea!)

I'd love not to like this place, but I can't help myself. Their products are too good. And although their prices are not cheap, it's no more expensive than the other high end competition (including Whole Foods).
