Community Grocery & Candy

East Village corners need a good grocery. Community Grocery & Candy sits at 353 E 14th St, where the neighborhood’s daily rhythms slow just enough to pick up milk, bread, or a last-minute snack. The storefront blends into the block—unassuming, but reliably there when the bodega down the street runs out of eggs or you realize you forgot butter. Shelves here cover basics without pretense: canned goods, pasta, produce, and a small but well-stocked dairy section. The real draw, though, is the candy aisle—old-school bins of gummies, chocolate bars, and bulk licorice that feel like a throwback to simpler sugar rushes. A quick stop for staples or a detour for something sweet, it’s the kind of place where you grab what you need and go, no fuss. If you’re new to the area or just passing through, the map will get you there without trouble. For questions or last-minute requests, call (332) 209-0585. Directions are straightforward: check the listing before you walk. You’ll probably end up back here sooner than you think.
