Martha’s Vineyard

Yeah — I was in GR for a night and happened upon this place after stopping by the bakery next door. Fantastic store! I could spend hundreds of dollars putting together an ultimate picnic basket in this store.

This is our go to spot for nearly everything food/​drink. We bought our condo because of the proximity to this store.

Such an amazing place! I love everything about it! Prices match the service and quality of products! If there is ONE thing I really love about Grand Rapids, is Martha’s Vineyard!

While you can get standard items like bottles of Diet Coke or a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, the main draw of Martha’s Vineyard is the variety of higher end specialty items. To my amazement, I’ve even seen jamon iberico de bellota sold in their deli case, which I’ve never seen in Grand Rapids otherwise except at the top shelf but very pricey Reserve restaurant (which I’m told has an owner in common with Martha’s Vineyard). For a store of this sort, the cheese selection somewhat underwhelms. I wonder if perhaps the selection of cheeses was one of the things which took a hit as part of the redesign meant to leave more space for fruits and vegetables. Their whiskey selection is compact, but still (sadly) one of the better ones in town. As for beer (and mead and cider), the amount of space dedicated to it is far less than I’d like, and is certainly not a place I would visit for beer unless seeking a specific bottle. But they usually have Schramm’s meads on the shelf, which periodically runs out elsewhere. And their prices are good. While they keep a low profile in the beer community, not generally promoting their stock on social media, they manage to surprise, for example carrying Spontanbasil and Cuvee Rene Kriek before they’ve been delivered to Rishi’s, the city’s top bottle shop.

Martha’s is a step up from your local grocery store. Not only does it have eggs, milk, etc. but it has an incredible selection of wine, cheese, local beer, liquor, meats, and more. My dad has been a regular at Martha’s for years because of their phenomenal wine selection. The owner is usually around and very friendly. He runs the place really well.
They also recently opened their deli section and have fresh meats and cheeses.
It’s definitely a gourmet grocery store, but you get what you pay for. The selection of items are typically things you can’t find other places in Grand Rapids. We were looking for a specific bottle of bourbon that we hadn’t been able to find, and of course the owner knew exactly what we were talking about and had it on hand.
Can’t recommend this place enough. They also own the coffee shop and bakery on the same street, so it’s worth stopping into those as well!

Wine, cheese, chocolate, craft beer and liquor pack the well organized shelves.
With their remodel, they’ve started carrying a larger selection of produce items. The deli counter has moved to the back of the store where everything from gluten-​free baked goods, cured meats and pre-​prepared main dishes are offered daily.
The wine carried here is excellent! Ask for a recommendation if you’re unsure of what to choose. I’ve not had a bad bottle yet.
One you’ve selected your drink of choice, stop by their chocolate bar section. Some of the most delicious, bean-​to-​bar chocolate I’ve ever had. Truly unique tastes and ingredients. Perfect for pairing.

They sell Coop’s salted caramel sauce for $ 9.99. Great selection of craft beers too.

Great place always clean and well stocked. They have wine soda and cider u can’t find any where else in Grand Rapids.

There are great products here. However, I wanted to buy a nice bottle of whiskey as a gift, and the cashier couldn’t be bothered to help me. On the other hand the wine expert was very helpful. I give it a two stars because when I left I felt ignored by the cashier.

I really miss living in Heritage Hill because of the fact that this place was within walking distance of my apartment. In my opinion, the beer selection in GR, quite a great selection of wine and liquor as well. There are lots of specialty food items and a deli as well. The staff is knowledgeable but I find that they aren’t overly friendly. Which is fine, but a few can be a little unapproachable. The only reason I really took a star off is because of the prices. Is rent really that high? Don’t they own that building? I don’t know. Specialty stores are usually high, but some items are ridiculously so. Wouldn’t keep me away, it would just keep my from purchasing those items.

I used to live around the corner from this place and miss it dearly. Not only do they have an extensive selection of wine, beer, and liquor but they also have specialty grocery items in addition to fresh delicious sides and desserts. There have been more than one occasion where I was able to sample different wines before making my purchase. The staff is extremely friendly and outgoing which makes going there even more enjoyable. The prices may be a little on the higher end but the quality of their products is well worth it.

Perfection.

Go. Conquer.

One of my favorite spots to frequent while in GR! They have a great wine selection, and their deli is on point! If you love specialty cheeses/​meats, as well as, tasty treats (and other side options) this is your one-​stop-​shop! Bonus: Craving a delish gourmet pizza? Nantucket Bakery Co is right next door! Seriously, what more could you ask for?

By far one of my favorite businesses in all of Grand Rapids. They are slightly pricy but you definitely get what you pay for. They carry quality wine, cheese, desserts and beer. I really like how they have deli meats and foods available as well. The service has been helpful most of the time. No specific complaints really. It’s location is very prime for young adults like myself who rent nearby. They are a clean and respectable establishment that is well-​known by all the locals. The wide variety of selection can be overwhelming at times so don’t hesitate to ask for suggestions. I’m still exploring their wine selection but their red velvet cheesecake and gelato selection are on point

My husband and I just went here yesterday for the first time since relocating to Grand Rapids last month. I completely fell in love with the selections of wine and cheese, even if it’s a bit pricey. However, I asked the wine specialist a simple question about Pinot Noir which somehow led to a lengthy and somewhat inappropriate discussion, making it hard to leave the store.

Hands-​down best place to buy beer, wine, EVOO, tasty snack, etc in downtown GR!

Martha’s is part of Nantucket Bakery, they are owned by the same people. it’s a nice, healthy convience store. it’s a bit expensive because they have such a nice building, but it’s worth it. they always have awesome beer, lots of ciders, tons of wine and plenty of liquors.
the cheesecake is awesome here. it’s so frickin’ rich but great. also, they have wine and beer tasting every friday and saturday. i’ve sampled some awesome fig leaf cheese. they sample sausages too, and my guy tells me they’re pretty good.

Whenever I’m on the west side of the state, MV is a must stop for me. I love to comb the aisles looking for interesting gourmet ingredients to cook with at home. I always stock up on Blis maple syrups, best price I’ve found. This last visit I discovered Blis hot sauce, which is now my new fav. MV’s parmesan, properly chiseled, not sliced, is the best I’ve had in the states. Bought some 5yr gouda — so good! Reasonable prices, wonderful selection, great service.

A very well-​run business. A great place for beer, wine, liquor and all sorts of deli foods. The product selection is excellent and the staff are all friendly, ranging from «very» to «exceptionally». They will happily order a product for you if they don’t stock it, and I found their prices to be very competitive. Also, this is one of the few places in town that you can get keg beer! I have become a regular and am so happy I found this place.

I’m a frequent customer here and would highly recommend it. Everyone who works here is friendly and helpful but not overbearing. It’s conveniently located downtown and has the perfect mix of practical grocery items and fun & fancy items. Some of my many reasons for going here include (in this order): when we are craving beer or wine or gourmet olives or tabouleh, when I have to pick up an emergency onion or a bag of tortilla chips, or when I want to create a fancy picnic with random items from the deli. Some of my fave items here are McClure’s pickles and Lindeman’s Lambic. They also have ALL the cheeses, and pints of ice cream up front! My next trip is going to be to try one of the amazing-​looking desserts under the glass, though. Oh yeah and I’m not a smoker but I noticed they sell cigarettes here, which seems very convenient.
