Amazon (AMZN) Fresh has expanded to Brooklyn.

Residents of the Park Slope neighborhood in Brooklyn can now have groceries delivered to them through the Amazon Fresh service. This marks the first time that the East Coast has been able to use the service and the company said it plans to expand to more areas of Brooklyn, reports Recode.

Amazon Fresh customers that place orders through the service prior to 10:00 a.m. will get their deliveries later that day. Members of Amazon Prime will be able to have their groceries delivered for free, but only for a short time. Those who continue to use the service into 2015 will have to pay $299 to upgrade their membership, Recode notes.

Amazon Fresh is already available for use by customer living in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Users of the service can order more than groceries with the service, reports The Verge.
