Breads baked at dawn.
Pantry goods selected with care.
First Hand Food is Flushing's neighborhood bakery and grocery — sourdough loaves pulled from the deck each morning, olive oils, spices, and everyday staples arranged with the same attention you'd give your own shelves.
What We Offer
From the deck to the shelf
Every item in our store is chosen the way you'd choose for your own kitchen — fresh, honest, and worth keeping around.
Artisan Breads
Sourdough, ciabatta, and seasonal loaves baked fresh each morning — no preservatives, just flour, water, salt, and time.
Olive Oils & Vinegars
Single-estate olive oils, aged balsamics, and specialty vinegars — the kind you reach for when a recipe deserves better.
Spices & Pantry Staples
Whole spices, grain bins, pasta, and canned goods sourced for quality — everything you need without the bulk-store compromise.
Pastries & Sweets
Butter croissants, fruit tarts, and seasonal sweets — baked on-site and displayed before they've had time to cool.
Cheese & Charcuterie
A rotating selection of aged cheeses and cured meats, curated for everything from a quick sandwich to a proper board.
Grocery Essentials
Fresh produce, dairy, and household staples arranged the way a well-kept pantry should be — tidy, labeled, and easy to find.
Our Story
First principles,
first ingredients.
First Hand Food was founded on a simple conviction: the best food doesn't need a long backstory. It needs good ingredients, honest preparation, and someone who actually cares about what ends up on your table.
We bake our breads in small batches, source our olive oils and spices from producers we've tasted and trusted, and stock our shelves the way we'd stock our own — with room to breathe and nothing hidden in the back.
Located on Roosevelt Avenue in Flushing, we're here for the regulars who know us by name and the newcomers who just want something real for dinner tonight.
