I was in here once or twice just to buy snacks over the last couple years while nearby. I was going to buy an actual meal(wrap or even just a Lunchable). but, it’s was mad expensive. Selection is pretty decent and store is clean. Never noticed anything odd about the staff. Wouldn’t mind stopping in once more, but, only for certain items.

This is the only bodega-esque store in old city that isn’t like some weird old dudes crpyt with dust on the shelves. They have your basic mart stuff, some fruit & veggies, groceries etc. This place is clean, fast, and efficient. What more do ya need? I don’t find the employees to be unfriendly. I prefer my market interactions to be at a distance cause what if I need to buy something weird one day? A bit more expensive than it should be, but it’s olde city.

Pricey, some organic options. Pretty much a monopoly on Olde City Grocery stores. I go when I am desperate.

I was so grateful for Olde City Food Market during our four day stay in Philly. My 13 year old daughter and I were staying around the corner at the hostel, so we had a kitchen at our disposal and were desperate for a «home cooked» meal. We arrived on Day 14 of our road trip… and, we were so sick of fast food crap that I didn’t even mind that this place was a tad pricey. I have never been so grateful to find hummus and fresh produce. I was really surprised at the great selection they had for such a small store. CASHONLY. OK… this was a pain, but they do have an ATM there that will happily gouge you a hefty fee.

This is my favorite corner store! First off, it is the cleanest and nice corner store I’ve seen in the city. Second, they make a mean hoagy(hot roast beef is as good as a cheese steak and it’s 3 dollars less!). Third, they have a lot of nice items considering the size of the store. Some of the prices a bit higher then expected, but that could be because a lot of the items that are for sale are higher end food items. You can get organic and vegetarian stuff here no problem. They also have a lot of unique and varied drinks, along with all the favorites. Last but not least there’s a beautiful girl who works the register in the morning who is always smiling and being very polite. Oh and it seems like they are open all the time, even late on weekends! Check this place out.

This is not your average 7 – 11 or Wawa but it does the trick if you need to grab a quick bite or drink and don’t want to shell out the cash to eat at a nearby restaurant. I’ll give them credit for being well-organized and having a half-decent selection, but it’s not like I would go here to do my grocery shopping.

There are two things about Olde City Food Market that bother me. First, the prices are even higher than you’d expect. I feel like everything here costs a dollar more than it should, and I’m pretty sure my expectations have been appropriately inflated after living in the area for a while. Second, the people who work here are pretty unfriendly. I never get a smile, nod, or even eye contact as I walk through the store. It’s always a sort of shifting stare, as if I’m stumbling in on a Friday night to inquire about Philly Blunts, rather than buying onion powder and an aluminum baking tray on a Sunday afternoon. Oh well. It’s close and, amazingly, stocks onion powder and aluminum baking trays. I’ll keep coming here, but I won’t like it.

Overall, great place to pick up that one missing item you need for dinner or definitely for a quick hoagie. Agreed with other comments earlier that the hoagies here are pretty damn good for being a side shop. Depending on what you get– prices can be extremely high or pretty decent for convienence eg Mission tortillas 8 pack 2.99 = good OR1 small instant Velveeta cup $ 1.69(when it can be bought for $.89 at the supermarket)

Price aside(this place’s biggest down fall is the amount of bucks you’ll drop on a few things), this place is pretty alright. They have a fantastic amount of variety in their products, and there are lots of healthy options too for the greener people out there. they sell a lot of products you could find in a whole foods alongside old standbys. They make great hoagies, but sometimes it’s never quite obvious if someone is behind the deli counter to do that for you.

What the Olde City Market is: conveniently located near my apartment. What the Olde City Market is not: inexpensive.($ 2 more on average than larger stores) What the Olde City Market has: a larger than expected selection What the Olde City Market doesn’t have: cigars(several signs make this clear) What the Olde City Market accepts: Cash What the Olde City Market does not accept: Credit Cards, Food Stamps, Checks or Money Orders. If you are in the area and need to pick up anything from an eye glass repair kit to a pound and a half of ham, stop in the Olde City Market. If your list is longer than 5 items long, head to Super Fresh. Your wallet with thank you.

Convenient. Cheap sandwiches in the deli. Otherwise, just a run of the mill convenience store.
