I really appreciate Acme being open on Thanksgiving Day! I was behind on my shopping this year, but the store was open for all of my last minute needs. There were plenty of holiday items still in stock and the store was very organized, well stocked, and the employees were friendly & knowledgeable. I also love how many Lactaid brand products Acme has in stock. read more

ACME Markets - Grocery Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is the chicest Acme I have visited by a small margin. The usual pluses and minuses of large chain grocery stores. I didn't scrutinize it but it appeared to have a relatively large wine selection and a relatively small toiletry section. The real advantage of this Acme is its proximity to a large ShopRite, so if you can't find what you want here you could easily find it there. There are also a large Aldis, Sprouts, CVS, Walgreens, and Fine Wines all in the same complex more or less. So very convenient plus southbound traffic from Center City is particularly speedy. Getting here is as quick as going to the Riverwalk Giant for me, due to traffic, from the same Graduate location; for example. Not sure it is worth the trip instead of the (very urban) Fresh Grocer on Grays Ferry. read more

Customer service rather hang up than answer any questions. Very rude for no reason, absolutely no positive customer service. Regular employees there are great though read more

I reluctantly transferred my family's prescriptions to their pharmacy. I had had questionable issues with their Pharmacy in the past. This morning I spoke to a woman who was presumably a supervisor, who was talking to me about some issues with one of the prescriptions. Could I call the pharmacy? Could I drive or walk over there and get the information she wants because She simply didn't know. That is the exact opposite of any decent degree of customer service one would come to expect especially with all the Rite Aid's closing. Further, I called roughly 8 to 10 pharmacies. I explained the situation to them nine out of the 10 new exactly what to do and how to fix it and we're willing to do anything they could For me to have my families prescriptions sent over there. I guess we didn't mean enough to this woman at Acme. read more

This Acme is Aces. All except for the Deli. The Deli is poorly managed. First thing in the morning you'd expect a stocked case. Clean containers and fresh items. Instead we see a messy case, old salads and items, dirty trays and no store baked items. The service isn't terrible but the state of the deli and the quality and availability of items is poor. I can see the deli getting disturbed throughout the day but that department should be glistening at Opening. read more

Closed doors at 950. Supposed to close at 10. Would not recommend this grocery store. Carts all over parking.

They improved the dessert section by putting a glass display for the cookies. They look very enticing. You can find great Italian bread and rolls here. My favorite is either Aversa or Liscio. There's manager's special at the back to find discounted products including dessert. There are 6 self checkout stations too. Everybody who works here is very friendly read more

Avoid the deli. Rudest, slowest. I watched them allow two people to bust the line in front of me for chicken. Avoid.

I am really disappointed with acme. For month's I have gone there to see a big guy in produce dept not wearing a mask.i also see other worker with mask not worn or on incorrectly. I have complained for about 5 weeks now with no satisfaction. I was told today by an associate from the store. That they are not permitted to tell a guest to wear a mask should they not walk in with one. I personally have spent good money on ppe supplies and have done my best to do the right thing. I guess the greed of money supersedes people's health when it comes to this location. I notified corporate , I was told PPE or health guidelines had not changed and they would be notifying the store and have the manager contact me. read more

I like shopping at the Acme, but the best thing about it is the Pharmacy called Savon. This pharmacy is never crowded with the lines of people, they fill prescriptions promptly, and they always have the medication's in stock. I would recommend them over CVS, Walgreens, etc. read more

I really have NEVER had an issue with this ACME, always had a pleasant experience. I read two other reviews about the Deli counter. I think we might have had the same RUDE young lady. If your not a ppl person I strongly suggest you find another Job. read more

It's decent market but expensive it's almost a 2-1 ratio from shop right or aldi. It is clean though and you can find everything I'd still recommend ahopright on front street read more

This supermarket is bright and clean. Yes, I do agree with everyone else. Prices here are slightly higher but their is no craziness here. Piece and quiet to grocery shop. Lol. Tons of selection of baked goods, poultry, fruits and veggies. There are plenty of stuff here to select items you need for the home. Very friendly staff and fast. I'd still shop here and they are open till midnight most nights. Lol. read more

When I first moved to the city, I didn't know where I was or how to get where I was going. I am finally finding my way around. The first place I would go to shop for anythng - Columbus Blvd. If I just cruised along the Blvd I would eventually find a Home Depot, Grocery Store, etc. I hated the area - shopping to me is a nightmare to begin with, but this I couldn't take. I finally found a grocery store (ACME) on 11th and Reed, not bad. But then someone said, why not go down to Oregon Avenue (from 16th or 17th, can't remrember) turn right on Oregon, and OMG, Acme right there along Johnson is awesome, it's clean and the parking lot is not a crazy ass nightmare. Right down the street - a BJ's (of which I was member when I lived in Bucks), never dreamed there was one in Phila, the Home Depot and PetsMart is there! YAY I can finally shop in peace! read more

Love this acme, the bakery is the best! Usually I've never had to order them because the cakes on display are so beautiful, but I've recently placed a order for 2 tier LOL surprise cake for my daughters 4th birthday. The cake was beautiful, and it tasted delicious. It was a pleasure planning this cake with Rochelle, she was absolutely amazing, patient, and very detailed explaining what she could do. I will forever come here for my items because of this amazing experience. I recently ordered another cake and just picked this up today for a small work party we are having for someone. Their store made guacamole is amazing but I haven't seen any recently ;( hope to see it again soon read more

Here now, it's almost 3pm and the store is packed and there are not nearly enough tellers nor are there any bagger. Why??!! What is the problem??? It is always busy! There should always be extra employees! Make the changes needed to get us in and out, you already charge us the most! read more

As far as chain supermarkets go, this is the BEST one I've been to! I think it's relatively new (in the past couple years or so?), but it's the cleanest and has the best layout of any supermarket I've been to lately. It's preferred over the Shop Rite that's in the plaza further down Oregon. I have no complaints over this location so although 5 stars sounds amazing, there's just nothing I can say against this place. PS 10 for $10, mix and match. I heart Acme. read more

I have a blind loyalty to Acme for some reason. Could be because it's where my parents used to do their grocery shopping before Pathmark opened up on Grays Ferry Ave., but I'm in no rush to travel to that ghetto anymore (nor are my parents). So, it was back to the Ac-a-me for all of us. I live closer to the Acme on 10th & Reed, but I go out of my way to trek to this one instead. Staff are courteous and friendly at both stores, but I simply like the layout of this one better; both inside the store and outside, as the parking lot isn't as goofy as the other one is (and it's less of a pain to exit on Oregon than Passyunk). I'm not a picky eater so it stands to reason that this store pretty much always has what I'm looking for. It's not a dirty store and the prices aren't bad either. Not much else to say, really. Everyone has their favorite supermarket. This one's mine. read more

I'm an equal opportunity supermarket shopper, but I have developed some loyalty toward this Acme location in the last few months. I find that I consistently discover the best sales and save the most money here. I think this is because they are willing to run sales on items that are somewhat healthy and that people actually need. In addition, cashiers and floor staff are pleasant and don't seem frazzled or downtrodden like some people I've seen at other supermarkets. I've never gotten attitude from anyone working here. Shout out to the guy in the dairy section, who is always really nice, even when I ask inane questions about yogurt or break an egg on the floor by accident (whoops). Shelves are always stocked and the produce is decent (though I do wish they carried more varieties of apples and maybe some loose whole kale). Their pre-cut/prepared fruit is also decent; I had a perfectly sweet 1/4 watermelon a few weeks ago, and some fresh berries that made my breakfast way better. So, yeah. Good job, Acme. read more

Best grocery store I've been to out here (well, chain grocery store at least). Acme is the east coast version of Albertson's; I don't care what anybody else says! The signs are all identical. Anyway, we usually come here at 10pm because of the Philly Car Share insomniac rate (and it's easier to get parking in front of our building). Given that it's two hours before closing time, I would expect the produce to not be so hot. NOT. It's pretty decent. The great thing about shopping at 10pm is that no one else is really around so you can really shop in peace, instead of battling through the crowds at rush hour (aka after work). Prices are good, and my Albertson's club card even works! :D Minus one star because it's nowhere near BSL so we have to rent a car to get there with the amount of stuff we buy. read more

It's absolutely disgusting the bakery always has flies and gnats inside of the donut cases, the manager or whoever she is, is always extremely rude to the customers. Save your money go somewhere else ! read more

This review is based off multiple visits however events that occurred tonight inspired me to write this negative review. I am willing to live with the general miserableness of most employees and the higher prices for the convenience of shopping so close to where I live however one thing I cannot accept is dishonest pricing. Ringing up goods at a higher price then is advertised. As a consumer nothing erodes my confidence more then being overcharged. Tonight I stopped in for a few items and saw a table with some leftover Christmas goods including some jelly beans and hershey bars. I decided to grab a few because of the excellent and prominently displayed price of 4 for 1.00 however when it was rung up I was overcharged for the hershey bars. I told the cashier and he said he did not think they were that great price but he would get the manager. Before the manager came the cashier checked the sign and saw I was right and made the adjustment on the hershey bars. Then I leave the store and while I'm looking at my receipt I notice I was also overcharged for the jelly beans. I know it's only a few bucks but it's the principle. I come back in the store slightly angry and take a photo of the price and head to customer service. The rep immediately did not believe me on the price so I showed her the picture. The original cashier saw me and even confirmed the same with the rep. Her response was to just keep rudely telling me to calm down. I was upset but here is a thought. Don't be rude to me instead try and understand why I'm upset. It's the principle of the matter. This type of occurrence erodes consumer confidence. It is not the first time it has happened to me here but its the first time I bothered to challenge them on it. It will be a long time before I start to trust this store and Acme in general as a result. I will try and do most of my shopping at shop rite now. read more

ACME Markets - No truth in pricing. Buyer beware - Grocery Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is my chain grocery store. When I need more than the few items I can grab at South Street Market, or need name brand products not found at Trader Joe's (Heinz anyone) I make my way down to Passyunk and 19th for a REAL grocery store. It seems like the cleanest, brightest and most well-rounded in merchandise of the Philadelphia grocery stores I have visited. I also have to say that all of the staff I have encountered have always been extremely friendly and pleasant, even on the night before Thanksgiving when it was craaazy. read more

You stand in line at the deli counter and the people that are suppose to be following the numbers just help you ever they want. I was next in line and a lady that can in after me and three other people was help before any of us. If you have a number system use it. read more

Three times in the past year I have had food contaminated with insects. 1. Goya black beans (dried) full of little white flies 2. Arnold 12-grain bread full of maggots/mealworms 3. Generic brand rice full of little black winged insects. While it's a block from my house and the employees are nice, when the food is full of bugs, I can't really bring myself to go there. read more

Its Acme, if you need to read a review of Acme take your ass to Whole Foods.

Produce is poor, prices are somewhat high, but staff is nice and selection is decent.

I signed up for Acme new digital card Just U. I went to use it today and it is not a savings at all, it is really a hoax. The sing up don't give you the how to, just a switch game. On the circular it has cherries $1.48 a pound, I was charged $2.99 x 2.71lb. $8 for small soft cherries. Keller butter $2.88 a 4 stick, I paid $11.74. Pineapple should have been. 78 cents, I paid $.99. Watermelon $2.99, I paid $5.99. I asked the young man do he need my phone because I have just u app. He said no, put your number in pad. It, less than $20, but it's the Principal. I called back and asked can I get the difference if my money back, after explaining what happened, she says no. I said well i will be bringing these items back tomorrow. She said i can't because of Covid. I asked to speak with a supervisor, and was placed on hold. 10 minutes later, i disconnected. My husband ask why am I back at shopping with Acme. I had a bad experience with Acme in 1997 and stop shopping there since. 2020, I am done with Acme, no customer service and horrible sales tactics. I can't afford to take a lost, but especially from a big box store. read more

Was previously my neighborhood store for a bit last year. Great sales. Good selection. Probably one of the cleanest South Philly supermarkets I've been in as well. read more

It's an Acme - what more can you want. The people here are nice and helpful. I just wish it had a better produce section. I sometimes have difficulty finding a few 'less common' items like cliantro, leeks, or mushrooms other than white button or portabello. read more

Nice place to go just check your bags if they deliver me and many friends always have something missing.

I always try to refrain from giving any business a negative review, I truly do. However, I am so disgusted right now. The lunch meat counter in this Acme is a truly aggravating and miserable experience. The women cutting lunch meat here are so miserable, it seems like it's an effort and you are putting them out of their way to slice your lunch meat. Oh, and if you like your lunchmeat extra thin, good luck. That takes extra effort. A person should not have to dread going to buy lunch meat because the people waiting on you clearly hate their jobs. Then go get another job or an education so you can get a job where you are not dealing with the public. I know it's not easy dealing with the public, I did it for years. But a smile goes a long way. Huffing and Puffing because I wanted to add on a 1/ 2 lb turkey breast at the last minute to my order is unacceptable. Management here should send in under cover shoppers so they can see or install cameras and have someone actually watching them work. Are you not Customer Service? Unbelievable!!!!!!!! Only reason I continue to buy lunch meat here is because I hate Shoprite's lunchmeat/ Not the same quality or brands. read more
