Charged me $18 for a $14 (listed on their shelf at $14) 6-pack of beer. Cashier told me that $18 is the price. Charged me $20 on a roll of foil a few weeks ago, my girlfriend who's Hispanic was charged $7 for the same roll a week after I came in and proved our point. They charge different prices based upon what customer comes through their door. Screw them. Do not go here. Go to H&H market on Glendale and Alesandro instead. Normal prices no matter what customer walks in through the door. read more

This place has everything- for real. My roommates and I, who live blocks down the street, often walk here when we need an onion, a sewing kit, a special kind of tomato, a coffee, or anything really. They always have it. They've always got a great selection of local beers and non alcoholic botanicals and teas, which I love as an only occasional drinker. The two men who run the store are so friendly, one of them we see riding his bike there every morning. Love this place! They tell me they miss me if I don't come in for a few days. read more

Every time I come to this store there is someone buying beers, or kids from Elysian Heights school buying sodas and hot cheetos/chips. The store is pretty well organized and neat. They have about everything and more you could find at any other convenience store. They even have a water vending machine outside. The owners are always in such a good mood, and they are also pretty welcoming to their store. I love it! read more

Echo Park Market - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Of all the nooks and crannies in the various cities I've lived, NEVER have I found a better corner store with nicer owners. It's the yellow store about a mile up Echo Park (North of) Sunset. I heard this was a dump until a few years ago when new owners came in and cleared out the trouble, etc. But now, I'm always greeted with a smile and somehow -- whatever I happen to be looking for, somehow -- they've got at least one of them. Only open until 9pm, 10pm on weekends. Packaged beer and wine, but no liquor. read more

Echo Park Market - echo park food market - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I was just at Yellow (that's what we call it) after dropping a friend off down the street and I was reminded how much I love this place. When I first moved to Echo Park, Sunny couldn't really speak English he'd just nod his head at you and smile when you paid for something. Now he's all, like, "Long time no see!" and "See you next time!" He's a total show off with his English phrases. And his wife has improved her conversation skills too. Full disclosure: Okay, so they had that period a few years ago when the health department shut them for "rodent infestation and harborage," but I'm willing to let that slide because I doubt the rodents had any effect on the beer or soda or water I was buying at the time. A rat can't poop inside a sealed bottle of water, can it? Wait, but maybe a rat can smear it's poo on the bottle, and then when I touch it I'll get the plague? Whatever, that was easily two years ago, maybe three...the place is definitely clean now. See you next time, Sunny! read more

Nestled amidst the well chiseled creations that are our local gang bangers, and the vegan mother's who stroll about the ever changing sidewalks of Echo Park in rice paper shoes and leaf-branch genital coverings, is a sunny little market that offers no more than a smile on the way in and a friendly wave to send you right out with Flaming Hots and Diet-Dr.Pepper at hand. Ugh. What would I do without those sweet sweet people? read more

I don't know why other reviewers are hating on the new owners. They've always been friendly and helpful and I've really enjoyed getting to know them over the years. I have heard plenty of neighbors being rude to them, and they always brush it off. Not sure what the problem is. The place is well-stocked with a pretty good wine selection and tons of helpful things you never would've thought to look for. Just make sure to check the expiration dates on everything before you buy it :) read more

The new owners are just not friendly. They are often on the phone, and don't pause to ring you up or even say hello when you walk in. The canned food is OLD (got a Campbell's soup with a 2016 expiration!) and the atmosphere sucks. I wish it sold to a family as nice as Sonny and his wife, but, alas, we have to buy from these jerks when we are in a pinch. read more

The old owners were great but the people or person who owns it now is terrible. Rude, unfriendly people. These guys don't even bag your items or say thank you. What kind of customer service is that? Why did they buy this store when they clearly don't care? Don't ever shop here. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

I am giving them five stars , due to the fact they now have sandwiches. The new owners are trying to make something happen. I mean, as opposed to the other owner who had nothing, but hot chips and beer... read more

Love this place. The couple that works there is very helpful and friendly. They even have almond milk!

Solid convenience store that keeps a spare revolving collection of household items, school supplies, and odd toys and stickers on hand in addition to the requisite basic groceries, snacks, candy, tobacco, beer, and wine. Always glad to give the cheerful owners business; same reason I am writing this review and posting the photo. read more

Worse convenience store ever, very rude people. Must be an open house because they make you feel like you go in there to be indecisive and spend all your money on things you don't need. read more

damnit, we have no more toilet paper. lazy bones goes to echo park mart to buy overpriced toilet paper, but that smiling friendly asian man behind the counter is worth the extra dime. and not to mention the saved time. he knows what kind of cigarettes i want, every time i pop my head in. he doesn't judge me when i come in in sweatpants and slippers. this store has everything, but it also has hilariously weird things that people probably would only buy out of novelty. read more
