It's convenient and in the city.... can't get much better..... well, actually, if the prices were more reasonable it would get 5 stars.

Oh City Convenience. My love-hate relationship with you will probably stand the test of time…read more I love you because you are, above all, convenient. You are located in my apartment building. You have all of my up-to-date trashy celeb magazines. You have my favorite brand of hummus (Sabra), and even have greek yogurt, stocked and ready. If the BF is having a last-minute football get-together at our place, he can run downstairs and grab a few 6-packs from you in an instant. You have everything I could possibly need ..... and you're open till 11pm. Horray!!! I hate you because I spend ridiculous amounts of money for ridiculously small amounts of goods. Your sodas are too expensive. Your yogurts are too expensive. Your orange juice is too expensive. Your beer is too expensive. Yet through all this, I still return. Almost every day. Because you're so damn convenient. Sigh. PS: Your staff is really nice too.

We stopped in here to buy wine for our hotel room instead of spending more $ in a bar on 2 glasses…read moreof the same stuff. This was our last night in town so we had to pick somewhat wisely! We happened upon it across from the train station. The selection was decent,and it WAS funny to see a Dunkin Donuts counter there. I don't know the area but I am sure the reason for this is the train station across the street. Some people like having a coffee place for convenience either before boarding a train or right getting off a train. Anyway, we found a selection (a red, don't remember what kind)and had no problems being 'followed' as people of color in the area. For a selection and nice store I'm compelled to only 3 stars, as we were not offered help with our purchase.

Whoever developed this business really thought through the brands to offer something different and more expansive than any other shop in the area. They had some brands that even bigger supermarkets don't offer. Didn't try any of the foods from the deli and their fresh produce was a bit lacking, but it definitely fits a need this neighborhood was lacking.

They now have a 4 % credit markup on all purchases. Awful! Their employee just tried to charge me…read morethe credit price although I was paying by cash.

For the only store in a luxury building, Portside has a great selection of liquor, beer, and wine - and for a corner store they have a solid selection of snacks, staples, and beverages. While they might be pricey and you're not going to walk out of the store with any ready-to-eat meals, the convenience, overall selection, and interactions with the employees leave me coming back nearly every day as I am pulling in from work.

I stopped here on a Sunday morning looking for some snacks and was pleasantly surprised by this…read moreconvenience store. There was a welcome sign outside and once I stepped inside I noted how organized and clean this shop was. They have snacks, alcohol (seems like half of their items are alcohol), ice cream, candy, cleaning supplies, pet supplies, frozen food, and hygiene items. They had everything that I would look for in a convenience store. The cashier was friendly. I got two snacks, a protein bar and some nuts, which came out to $10. I thought it was a little steep, but this is Beacon Hill. I would come back here again.

Favorite wine shop in town!! Cardullo's has a wide selection of wines; very organized by…read moregeographical location (and color) and easy to find in the store. In addition to wine, they carry liquor (just at this store in Seaport), beer, whiskey, and seltzers. The staff is always friendly and willing to help me find whatever I'm looking for. They even allow me to bring my pup inside the store every week while I shop for what I need. Cardullo's has a large selection of quality cheeses, chocolate, jam/honey, spices, candy, meats (prosciutto, salami), and crackers/chips. I've never been disappointed in any of the cheese I've bought here- they're all very tasty (and a handful are constantly rotated so you'll always have new ones to try). They also sell some very local (and niche) products - clam chowder, pickles, cookies, syrup, nuts, and tea. During the day they have a deli area of the store where you can order a fresh sandwich (just expect a long line around lunch time). Prices are fair (and the average) for their wines. Love this store and will keep coming back. Note all the ever-changing gift baskets they have throughout the store; make for great gifts around the holidays or birthdays!!

This is a corner shop that's shaped like a long L with limited street parking…read more There are many varieties of oils, wines, chocolates, and other items like jarred cherry toppings. The service seemed friendly to those who frequent the shop often enough. But nonexistent for those like me who so happened to stop by to take a look. I gave up on actually buying anything after being literally ignored twice. I know the store associates heard me. The brightly lit and well merchandised store is perfect for those who need a quick pick me up or gift to bring to a party. Or for those who like to just have gourmet food at home to savor life. But perhaps not for someone like me who isn't worthy of getting acknowledgment or assistance prior to purchasing something that caught my eyes.
