The new location is coming to 1585 Second Avenue, between 82nd and 83rd streets, as noted in a post on Reddit. It’ll be the chain’s third storefront on the Upper East Side. The other two are at 1030 Third Avenue at 61st Street and 1290 Third Avenue at 74th Street.The chain got its start in the U.S. right here on the Upper East Side. The 61st Street shop was Nuts Factory’s first American location, which opened in 2019, and the 74th Street store opened later as its second in the neighborhood. Since then, the brand has expanded across the city, including on the Upper West Side, and into New Jersey and Boston.
Nuts Factory grew out of a third-generation family business in Israel. It started with a grandfather who built an “on the spot” roasting machine, and the stores still dry-roast nuts on site. Din Allall, who brought the concept to New York, told New York Jewish Week that he wants the shops to feel like an Israeli shuk, “but cleaner and neater.”
Shoppers fill bags or gift trays from bins of nuts, dried fruit, candy, chocolate, spices and halva. Some of the more unusual picks include pretzel-covered pecans and Nutella-coated cashews.
The 61st Street location also has Soaked Bar inside, a tres leches counter East Side Feed covered when it opened.
