The place is huge. They have everything you need when on vacation. The workers are very friendly as well.

Great neighborhood store. Well rounded selection of products. Prices are a bit high but they're in a high rent location. Glad they are there when you need something. read more

Convenient to my hotel(Westin), just a few min walk. Just about anything I'd need. Not fancy, and down below street level. AKA East Delaware Liquors. read more

This place is super convenient. There aren't a lot of convenience stores around, so this place comes in clutch. Drinks, snacks, booze, deli, frozen food, there's a really nice selection. The people working are always helpful and nice. read more

They had what I needed when the wife, who just gave birth, needed something. prices were a bit high but it was right there when we needed it read more

This place is amazing! We were staying at The Raffaello Hotel and I found this place on Yelp. First let me say it is not on street level and it is not really on Delaware. The building the store is located on has a Delaware address, but the entrance to the store itself is on N Mies Van Der Rohe Way, which is the cross street on Delaware. You will have to go down some stairs and through a door to get to the store. Again, remember this is a downtown store, so the prices are going to be higher than what you may be used to. But compared to hotel prices, it is great. For a small location, they have a very nice wine selection, from Barefoot to Veuve. Hard liquor and beer as well. They also have a lot of decent food selections if you have the option of microwaving food in your hotel room. They also carry household products, drugs, glasses, chips, gelato and much more. Think of this as a mini Jewel in the middle of the gold coast that is in walking distance of your hotel and will save you mega dollars if you are like us, wanting to snack and drink late at night in your room after a lovely night out. read more

I just went in there to buy some bottles of water. I passed by the vitamin stand, looked at a couple of brands but priced way too high, so I didn't take. Picked up the water that I came in for and went to the counter to pay. The clerk/owner asks me if I took a vitamin packet, as he must have been watching me shop, I told him no. He then proceeds to put his hands into my coat pocket looking for a vitamin packet. My shoes are worth more than this guy, I don't need to steal a vitamin packet. Don't go here unless you would like to be treated like a thief and frisked like a criminal! He even looked closely at the credit card machine while I was entering my PIN code, so I will definitely be monitoring my credit card activity closely. read more

They're selling fake JUUL pods. I purchased from the store, 2 of the 4 pods didn't fit and the rest didn't taste correctly at all. They're scam artists that are trying to make a quick buck. I wouldn't be surprised if they were selling fake liquor too. read more

Provided the wrong bottle to be delivered via Drizly. When I called to try and correct the mistake the person I talked to clearly had no interest in helping. First he tried to say there was no difference between the bottle ordered and the bottle delivered (wrong), then he said they just don't stock the bottle I ordered (also wrong - was still showing as in stock even after my delivery), and ended the call saying there was nothing they could do to get me the right bottle. Extremely disappointing read more

We were wanting to get some cheap food for lunch. This place is awful. There are no price labels on the actual shelves and only maybe a quarter of the items have sticker prices on them. I had to ask the guy at the register how much a bag of cashews was and he started to tell me to look at the sticker but then realized there wasn't one. And it's pricey too so I wanted to know how much I was spending on anything read more

This place... What a place. Unbelievable selection, top tier customer service. Will definitely be back for more.

Looking at my portable GPS, I asked the concierge "Which of these 4 grocery stores is best?" I wanted to avoid a likker store. I wanted to be able to make a few healthy choices. I loved her Chicago response "Oh, this one won't have any fresh meat." "Oh, or fruit." It's Chicago-ish to me because I would never think to mention "fresh meat." I would think to mention that produce is unavailable though, but I'm a 16 year vegetarian, with 3 years of veganism under my belt. I am coming from a different approach, for certain. Remembering Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle," I nod knowingly "Ok, no fresh meat, yes, thank you, this is very, very helpful." This place is open until 10:30pm and is ridiculously overpriced. Think $4 for a jar of hummus, $3 for Ak-Mak crackers and $18 for KJ Chard. I do, however, give them props, for having a lot of healthy choices-- you can really get some good frozen veggies and lite yogurts and such, it's just gonna cost you. If you're doing your regular grocery shopping here you've got a problem, but if you're staying at a hotel and want some cheese and crackers, East Delaware Pantry's got yer ticket. read more

Significantly over charged me for two items, didn't provide an itemized receipt, the cashier just charged whatever he felt like on a whim. Plan on being charged differently based on the mood of the cashier. read more

Wow. A 12 pack of bottled water was 8.99 and 12 cans of soda at 7.99 but then again this place was super convenient to our little apt stay Dewitt place. We also figured we would be paying more for soda and water at the trade show we are attending so all in all, totally worth it! read more

HIDDEN GEM My husband and I stayed at The Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel, which is right around the corner. We were looking for some where to buy a few snacks and bottles of water to keep in our room, so we didnt have to spend the $5 for the small bottle that the hotel was selling. So we asked our doorman, and he sent us here. Well, we stopped in at least once a day! They have everything you could possibly need!! Snacks, alcohol, toiletries, beverages, household items, paper products, medicine, cigarettes, EVERYTHING! Its like a little grocery store! Fairly priced, even though its in the middle of a city! So if you are staying in the area and you forgot to pack something, have no fear, just stop in here!!! Also, its easy to walk right past this place, my husband and I did, twice!!! its in the bottom floor of a building, you have to go down a couple of steps to get to the door. Enjoy! read more

Awesome selection of wines & liquor. Also picked up some toothpaste. They have it all!

If you are in the area hotels, need snacks, liquor, bottled water or just about anything else you could think of, this place is a life saver. They have EVERYTHING a traveler would need. Great convenience. read more

East Delaware Pantry - a neon sign for the store - Grocery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Three stars for good selection of items. It took a while to walk through and see everything available. But very pricey. To give you and idea-a 750mL bottle of Absolute at Walgreens in $17.99, here it's $34.99. If money is a concern save yourself cash on common items and walk a couple of blocks. read more

The only positive thing about this place is convenience if you're nearby. There's no other "grocery" store around here. The pricing is ridiculous, for example my favorite bottle of wine costs $5 more here than at Whole Foods. As for the rest of the place, it's a dump. At these prices, I'm surprised they have updated it and gotten the smell out. In case you don't my want to walk an extra 10 minutes to another store, rest assured you found one of the few dumps in the Gold Coast/streeterville area. read more

My office is just a few blocks away; however after 2 decades, I just now found this store (thanks to Yelp). Friendly service and a surprisingly ample inventory. Convenience, convenience, convenience. Location, location, location. read more

Just moved into the area. This place has everything. Especially if you enjoy cocktails, like myself. They also have great snacks. You can't go wrong. read more

For a store in a tourist-y area, this isn't bad. Expect to pay more for items that are conveniently located. But if you want some liquor, snacks, wine, or cigars next to your hotel, this is your place. The service is courteous and not overly chatty. read more

OK I am staying at the Westin for a meeting, and sick as a dog. I always look for grocery stores near business lodging, and this one is very close. Prices are higher than large supermarkets, but much cheaper than buying breakfast, lunch and dinner out at the local restaurants. Fresh fruit is wonderful, and if you are used to shopping at whole foods market the price is very reasonable. The variety of alcohol products is stunning! And they are not only on several large shelves, the bottles are scattered on ends of aisles here and there. Also strange little items like plastic hair curlers. Very interesting and convenient place. Entrance down the stairs on the southwest corner of the building. read more

Great little corner market. I travel often and try to pack minimally. This place had a little bit of everything from toiletries, snacks (perfect for hotel) and a pretty good selection of boozes, beers, and wines. Very polite and helpful staff great find! read more

Oh man!! We stayed at a local hotel and asked if they could deliver a nice bottle of wine and you know what??? They said yes at a great price. Thanks so much for our Sequoia Grove and for being so helpful. read more

You find good beers for good prices. The others foods are expensive. You need some money to buy some foof in this place. Its good for some people and bad for other people. You find many kinds of foods over there. read more

Ditto on the "tricky to find" comments. Apparently they aren't permitted to put up mor visible signage like a sandwich board...can't see it from street level very well. Good in a pinch. read more

A total diamond in the rough. They have EVERYTHING and I mean Everything you can ever want or even think of. HaaUGEEE wine selection, beer too. Every snack, pharmacy item or jewish/mexican/polish delicacy you EVER MAY NEED. In short, the perfect liquor store for some hotel accouterments but the store is ohhh so soo so much more. I will miss you big east delaware. Always in my read more

This store has it all! There is not one thing this store doesn't have. I have come here for a number of years and not only does this store carry the everyday convenience items, but it also carries liquor, has a great selection of wine, beer, produce, various fruit juices, luggage, etc. The owner is very personable and provides excellent service by delivering to nearby locations. This grocery store is a supurb addition to the Streeterville area! read more

I'm from the west coast, so was super happy to find such a huge variety of things I might need as well as things I definitely do need, like a cold beer. Right around the corner from my hotel. Not only do they have a huge selection of everyday items - like razors, snacks, and TP - but they also have a wonderful craft beer selection. Frankly, I didn't even look or care about the prices, so if you're local you might be taken aback (but seriously, it's the Magnificent Mile). On top of the great selection, the people who were working there were the most helpful and friendliest people I met in Chicago. Look out world, that kid behind the register is going places. I am one happy customer. read more
