Apple Bite Mart

This gem is just a half block from my place. I love that they have some harder to find beers and everyone who works here is nice. The wine selection is pretty great as well. As far as convenience stores go, this is my favorite in the neighborhood. I like to support local mom and pop stores and I encourage others to do so as well. I wish they opened a little earlier. I think they’re missing out on the heading to work rush hour since they don’t open until at 9 am. But they’ve been around long enough, I suppose they know the neighborhood well enough that 9 am probably works the best for them. I often need things before work in the morning though and always end up going to CVS since I head out for work at 8 am. Other than that this place is my jam.

Friendly people, but they sell very old beer. 3+ month old IPAs are consistently on the shelf here. Find a different place to get your beer.

This isn’t your ordinary convenient store. The two fellas working to serve us a variety selection of beers, wines, and spirits have dissapointed me in a way that had this client left uncomfortable whether it was the overpriced merchandise or the unique way one of the fellas treats a costumer. Although they aren’t perfect and wouldn’t expect them to be. The friendly conversation about sports, etc. Isn’t going to cover up the hidden racism this store has to offer against, minorities and gay (both genders). I rather go take my business else where. And let this store make it’s cheap profits. It’s not worth the beers.

A gem of a corner store! First of all, the workers are extremely kind and helpful, and decent guys to talk sports with.
Secondly, most importantly, the beer and wine selection is incredible! There are all sizes and packs of beer in everything from $ 5 6 packs of bud light to $ 18 craft brews. There’s something for everyone and the price is completely reasonable. No, it’s not Walmart prices, but it’s a small business and the lines are one person deep at worst. There are plenty of wines, also with a wide range of prices and types.

I love these guys! Good selection of beverages, good prices, and who would expect opera playing in a corner store!

We called them late on a Saturday night, right before they closed. Being about 10 minutes away, we asked if there was any way they would let us in if we came by, even after closing. They did!
Good selection, reasonable prices. Good corner liquor store.

A really awesome little corner strre. I live about half a block away, so this has become my go-​to for booze as well as any snack cravings or last-​minute needs. They used to have just a decent selection of beer in the refrigerated section, but they’ve just recently repurposed a whole row of shelving to house unchilled beers, which really expanded their selection.
Solid liquor section — perhaps priced slightly higher than a big-​box alcohol store like Binny’s. The staff are super nice and they’re always stocked up. Recommended!

This place has a small selection of liquor but it is a bit overpriced,(New Amsterdam fifth 13.99 when it is normally 9.99 a bottle if not cheaper at some places) but if you are in a pinch and missed all the other stores that’s the price you pay for not planning ahead is my thought.
The cashier was cool he talked to us and told us about some brands we hadn’t heard of before.
This isn’t the first time I have visited this spot just the first time I checked in go figure I always try and do my check-​ins.
Anyway, I don’t know if it is still true but the first time I stopped by they were pet friendly which was neat if you are out walking your family friend and decide you want a bit of the nip… lol,
I will be back again if I forget to go to Kenwood and get a bit of a savings on my liquor but this place is great.

I used to go here all the time, the workers were always friendly an kind

Everything you want out of a corner shop. They have the essentials as well as a good selection of booze. Do they have anything that I can’t get at CVS or Walgreens, no. But they’re also closer and not some big corporation that probably is deforesting the amazon or killing puppies somewhere so I like to keep them around.
I’m only giving them 4 stars because they are yet to sell me a multi million dollar lotto ticket winner. When I win the lotto I will give them the final star

Great little place for beer, wine, and liquor.

What can I say about Apple Bite Mart? I have been stopping at the store for years. It’s great to be greeted with your name when you enter the store.
The store is very convenient. Neil, Sammy and Jorge are great!
They have all of the basic staples you may need such soaps, snacks and refrigerated items.
They also have a great seclection of wines, beers, and liquors. Of course, lottery tickets.
It is great to see a lot of regulars in this store.
Highly recommanable store!

SUPER NICE GUYS!
They don’t always have what I am looking for, but it’s a corner store not a department store, so I accept that.

Been going here for 3 years. It’s a great neighborhood corner store. They will have most of the basic necessities you are looking for… and a great selection of beers, wines and liquors.
As it’s been mentioned, the people who work here are extremely friendly and you will want to give them your money. Their awesome quirk: They wear heavy metal tshirts (Iron Maiden) but they’re always listening to opera or classical music. Makes me giggle every time I’m in there.

Thanks to being around the corner from my apt., I come here pretty often. It’s a convenience store, so the prices are little higher. However I’m lazy and don’t always want to walk the two extra blocks to CVS.
+ ATM
+ CC accepted
+ Plethora of liquor
+ Nice selection of mixers
+ Surprising selection of food
+ Open pretty late on weekends
— Seems like they are frequently out of SF Redbull

Best place. Ever. And I hear they give discounts to white sox fans. Ask at the counter…

I used to live down the street from this place for three years, and one of the things I miss most about living in that apartment were my regular trips to Apple Bite.
It’s super conveniently located for all the regular items you need to visit the corner store to purchase, and it’s all reasonably priced. And the stuff that is a little pricier is worth it because I could walk ½ a block in pajama pants to buy milk.
Did I mention how awesome the guys are that work here? It used to be an ongoing joke (with more than a hint of honesty) with my friends that I secretly wanted to be one of the people that come in and hang out with the employees/​owners. They are so nice, cool, and friendly. Give them your money.

Very nice, friendly people. They have a great location as they are not even half a block from a sushi BYOB! The guy even offered to uncork my bottle if the sushi place didn’t offer to uncork it. Prices were good, friendly guy. No complaints.

I’ve lived a block & a half away from the Apple Bite Mart for 3 ½ years now, & I love the place. It’s got everything a local corner store should have, plus so much more.
They have a decent selection of pre-​packaged food, plus all the basic kitchen necessities (milk, eggs, cheese, sugar, coffee, etc). They usually have a very small selection of produce up on the front counter, but typically only apples & bananas.
They’ve got a pretty good assortment of toiletries, but the real gem (if this doesn’t give away too much about my personal character) is the selection of alcohol! While technically it’s a corner shop & not a liquor store, they do quite a job of hiding that fact! Very nice wine selection, lots of choices for hard booze, & plenty of varieties beer — well beyond the typical corner store selection.
The staff is always friendly, & a few of them even learned my name & greet me accordingly. It’s not at all uncommon to walk in and find one or two local friendly faces hanging out at the counter chatting, often with a dog to pet.
Overall, it’s a friendly place with everything you could want in a local corner store, plus enough booze to re-​up any party you got going nearby (and it helps that they’re open later than most of the areas liquor shops).
Check them out! If nothing else the mural on the outside makes them frickin awesome!

I am their semi– neighbor and I love them.
First, they don’t stare at you when you walk in, it’s always filled with people so it’s not dead silent. They are packed with stuff that isn’t missing, unlike SOME mini marts I’ve been too.
They have good prices for drinks and beers. They are pretty generic, but damn handy before wandering to Walgreens or CVS.
Sometimes you can coax them into putting only $ 2 on your credit card – if you’re special enough!
