Little bit of this, little bit of that. Pretty much a one stop shop for convenience. Pantry staples, alcohol, and snacks. Friendly staff, convenient location. read more

Mulberry Market - Eggs Benedict, breakfast sandwich and Bloody Mary - Grocery Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ridiculously expensive. I don't know how they stay in business. $14 and change for a 6 pack of Budweiser. No thanks.

This is a nice little market. I stopped in to get my favorite Harpoon UFO White beer from Boston. It is the only place in Old City that carries it. The staff was friendly and helpful. read more

We are traveling through Pittsburgh and of course needed a good hoagie. This is the place. Quant little store and the hoagie was delicious. They even had tables in the back that we could sit down and eat our hoagie. We definitely recommend this place! read more

A great local market with the flavor essentials. A really good beer selection. We got there at closing and they were herding us out but they let us hav a beer before we went to get our pizza. read more

I was walking around Phili and needed a quick bite to eat. I checked Yelp and everywhere had bad reviews. I decided to try this market and I am glad I did. I ordered a simple sandwich and had no expectations. The sandwich was really good though! And, they have indoor seating, which was nice to get out of the heat. For a small market they had an amazing beer selection. So many I have never even heard of before. Workers were very friendly. Don't be discouraged by the bad reviews here. read more

Mulberry is really good. I tend to think of them in comparison to Sassafras but they both have their strengths. Sandwiches are a draw. Mulberry makes an amazing BLT and it's so reasonable. They'll get my business for that anytime. They're also open a little bit later, especially now during Covid, and they have beer (though it's pricey... but so is everywhere else in the neighborhood). They stock a lot of city living necessities and some fun surprises. read more

Too hot and humid inside, so baked foods and Belgian beers are a hot mess. Uncaring staff. Locals have largely abandoned them and for good reason. read more

Fantastic service from the Deli employees at Mulberry Market. I went to a Halloween Party the other night and needed to bring a party platter. Whole Foods Market was a little far, so I found a closer place on Yelp. It looks like a family-owned institution, the service with a smile was refreshing. The first time I walked into this business, I thought it was a little sketchy. If you're looking for ambiance, keep going, but if you want awesome food at a reasonable price, and wants it to go, this is the place. They offer a full menu of sandwiches, and subs/hoagies. I asked the Asian woman behind the counter if they make party platters. She said they do, and she could make it presentable. I ordered a variety of hoagies with different ingredients and had them cut into four pieces. She made it nice, and it was a hit at the party. The cost was extremely reasonable considering the quality. read more

Typically have what you need if you are missing an ingredient for dinner or want some late night ice cream. The staff are very friendly and will help you find anything. read more

These guys have been amazing during the quarantine. They have managed to keep paper towels, disinfectant and even hand sanitizer in stock and they sell them all at normal non plague prices. Not to mention all the othr food stuffs and general groceries necessary when you live in a bit of a food desert. Plus they make a mean bacon and egg sandwich. My life over the last few months has been made much easier by the hardworking folks at Mulberry Market. Thanks! read more

I was in the neighborhood and wanted something quick before I head toward my destination, So I Got a tuna hoagie. The lady who made my hoagie asked if I wanted the food to go or eat in. I figured since I parked few blocks away and didn't wanted to eat in my car; I said I'll eat in. While she was giving me on a tray, the guy (owner, manger, idk) he stopped her and said he cleaned the sitting area. And I wasn't allowed to eat in. I said,well you are open for another hour or so, and I don't understand why can't I eat in, (there was another customer still eating in one of the table) I was shocked, didn't want to make a big deal. So I left with my tuna hoagie(which I think he purposely charged me more than usual price) and ate it in my car. read more

Mulberry Market - Grocery Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I deserve an apology. The older asian woman embarrassed me, made me late and made and ruined my lunch break. I live and work within one and a half blocks of this market, I went there all the time. The last time that I went, I was on my lunch break, I purchased a turkey sandwich like I always do, paid for it and ate it there. On my way out I decided to get a coffee. I went to the counter to pay for my coffee, an older asian woman was training a girl to use the register apparently. She took over five minutes (I knew by looking at my watch as I was very concerned about returning late to work) talking to the girl in another language about how to ring me up, I had to get back to work and very politely tried to explain that I simply had to pay and leave asap. My request was ignored and she kept showing the girl buttons on the register. Finally she looks up and yells $8.61 with a scowl on her face. I tell her that all I have is a coffee, that is $1.50 I hand her the $1.50 she she barks that I owe her for the sandwich as well (by the way after she made the sandwich, she demanded I pay immediately before putting it on the counter). I kindly explain that I have already paid for the sandwich ten minutes ago but she demands the money. At this point I am going to be late for work, there is a line behind me and she pulls the coffee out of my hands and demands money. I tell her that this is crazy, that I paid the young man for the sandwich already. We go back and forth, she keeps my coffee and tells me to get out of the way. I do not leave and she yells for the young man to tell her whether I paid or not, he finally comes down and says that I of course did. She did not apologize, she made me late for work. This store has not only lost my business but that of the entire salon around the corner, my boyfriend that lives on the block and other businesses that are in the area, we used to order lunch every day there. She is discriminatory. There was a man in a suit behind me whom I know she never would have treated in that fashion based on the way she called him sir and demanded I get out of the way, she treated me like a piece of trash because I was female and not wearing business attire. I will make sure as many people know how indecent this woman is as I possibly can. This place needs to shut down and that woman needs to learn that this is not how you treat people in america let alone your fellow neighbors and very regular customers. read more

I routinely give thanks for Mulberry Market. She is an oasis in the otherwise arid beer desert that is Old City. She could charge us almost anything for beer (ala Omega Pizza) due to her sole provider status, but she doesn't. Her selection is diverse and her prices are fair...at least as fair as you could ever expect from a six-pack takeout place in Philadelphia. I only have one request of the people who work there. Could you please stop judging me when I buy my weekly Joose? I know it's not classy and I know it's not advised for consumption by the manner born, but it's efficient. I routinely suffer through a long, abusive work week and the only thing that keeps me going strong through the tedium of the grind is the knowledge that by 7:00 pm on Friday, I'll be kicking back on my couch with my girl, my pooch, and a tall glass of energy-infused, alcohol-laden malt liquor. I know what you're thinking...I can see it in your eyes. You think I'm a loser, a deadbeat, a diseased reprobate...some sort of common street tramp ushered through your doors on the back of an evil wind. I know why you think this, but my knowledge of your rationale rarely softens the blow of your harsh assumption. It's obvious...it's because the only customers you probably ever see buying Joose are the 8 shady guys that live in the back of your store and spend all their days drinking the liquid lightning and harassing your normal patrons...but you shouldn't stereotype. I'm not like them at all (especially not that one guy with the crooked eyeball). I have a job. I have my own hair. I have my own fingernails. AND, I take care of my kids...well, at least I will one day...I think...unless they're overly effeminate or bad at sports...I can't say how I'll react then...hmmm. Anyways, I'm a good man and you should view me as such whether I want to get crunk or not. So, please, in the future, I'd like to see a little empathy & understanding for a work-weary man in need of simple respite and not the cold, callous stares of judgment that should be reserved for the true Joose-head Junkies. read more

Steer clear of Mulberry Market. I was a regular customer, visiting 7-8 times per week. Recently they have significantly increased prices, decreased the quality and quantity of filling in the sandwiches, started adding mysterious charges when a credit card is used, and marking up stamps and envelops to a ridiculous level (almost 100% markup on a stamp and $2 for a single envelope.) I asked one of the employees I chatted with almost every day about all of this and her response was that is how to make money. I disagree, abusing your regular customers is not a good business plan. Even though it is a few extra blocks I am going to become a Sassafras market regular. read more

Great little bodega with a well rounded albeit pricey selection of six packs. You'll find plenty of staples like vitamin water, cigarettes, and a tiny deli for quick sandwiches. But you'll also find a good mix of exotic candies and other treats. It's definitely not the greatest but it gets the job done. read more

Ok...there are 5 small markets in about a quarter mile radius from each other, and they are all very similar. Here is how they rank in my opinion. 1) Olde City Market (got 1st place votes for large selection and size) 2) Lake Blue Market 3) Mulberry Market 4) JK Gourmet Market 5) Park's Grocery I have separated the 5 into groups due to their similarities. Mulberry's is very similar to Lake Blue but has beer selling capabilities which is convenient. read more

Great beer selection, great sandwiches with copious amounts of meat and a really friendly staff. I usually only stop in for lunch and usually get it to go, but this place has become something of a work-day staple so they get high stars. read more

Pros: Boar's Head lunchmeat, some microbrews, most small necessities, late hours. Cons: High cost, limited selection. If you live locally, want some beer or other things a small convenience store can provide, hit it up. read more

Where do you go in Old City when you want a beer, a quick bite and only have 10 minutes for both? As I learned last Wednesday, Mulberry would be that spot. For about $25, my husband and I each got a sandwich and split a six-pack of Coronado Islander IPA. Coronado? Yes, Coronado!! I was floored in excitement. While scarfing down my grub, I had a chance to eye up some of their other beers. The selection is pretty solid and the prices are pretty decent for PA. I'm a little weary of the food because I ended up suffering flu-like symptoms the evening after eating the sandwich. I'm not blaming the sandwich because there are many food and non-food factors that could have caused the ailments. However, I do note this as a potential cautionary tale. The sitting area isn't anything special, but I was just happy to have food & beverage before going along to my next destination. I'll be back for their six-packs. read more

Best Deli sandwiches I've found in Old City so far! All Boars Head ingredients, tremendous Hoagie Rolls, and very cheap ($5.50). Just a great value and damn good sandwich. I've been there about 3-4 times already and they are consistent. This rating is based only on their sandwiches... not the grocery side of the business. read more

I was a regular at Mulberry Market for a year when I lived in Old City. They have a great selection of snack food despite their small size, as well as other handy objects like light bulbs and playing cards. They have a great selection of beverages, which is mostly what I went in for, and not just beer. Because it's a pretty small space, if there are other customers in the store, it can be a bit of a challenge to navigate. They are a little on the pricey side, but these small Old City markets tend to be that way, and it's no worse than the others. They accept credit cards, but there is a $10 minimum. They can also be a little judge-y when you buy a pint of ice cream and only ask for one spoon, but hey, I'm judging myself too at that point. Whatever, it's Ben & Jerry's Half Baked, what's a girl to do? read more

I only go here for beer because there's not much other choice in the neighborhood. Otherwise it's pretty much like the rest of the markets. I think their hours are a little better (open later at night) than Sassafras, but otherwise I like Sassafras better. Trivia: Arch St. used to be Mulberry St. and Race St. used to be Sassafras St. Market St. was High St. but there doesn't seem to be a "High Market" :) read more

Stopped in to Mulberry today for a snacking emergency - and they graciously made my little one a PLAIN turkey (no mayo, no mustard, no veggies, no nuthin') on white (untoasted). Not MY choice, but what-evs. She dug it and devoured it and I willingly forked over $4.79 for it. OUCH. Great service by the counter staff. Oh - and I got me an INKO Iced White tea. - I luvs that stuff! Mulberry Market is all THAT and a bag of gourmet chips! read more

If you are staying in one of the nearby hotels, this is your default one-stop shop for all those things you forgot at home, plus a few cheap eats. This is a great place to grab some water, some yogurt for breakfast, a decent sandwich, or a 6-pack. I went there three different times later in the evening and they were always open. Sandwiches made with Boar's Head meats, amazing beer selection, friendly staff. Not priced as low as your Target or the like, but then again, there ARE no discount retailers down in the part of town! Stay OUT of that hotel "gift shop" with their $3.00 16oz bottles of water. Head to the Mulberry! read more

Old City provides a number of benefits: accessible parking, proximity to great restaurants, bars and historic sites. Those are all nice but when you LIVE in Old City you require other essentials. Fortunately, you have two great markets within walking distance. Mulberry has a lot going for it: a modest selection of dairy products, canned foods and chips, a surprisingly efficient deli, and a nice (but pricey) selection of domestic and import beer, But where Mulberry fails, another local market reigns. For starters, Mulberry closes at 8:00, which bothers me more than it should. Also, if you're cooking and need some random spice, or other ingredient you're much more likely to find it at Sassafras. Ultimately, if you live in OC you more than likely frequent both markets. read more

I visit here almost everyday, as it is downstairs from my apartment. My favorite thing is that one of woman who works here occasionally wears a pink Boar's Head baseball cap. For some reason that is funny to me. Otherwise, I find the sandwiches pretty tasty and basically exactly the same as you get at Sassafras Market. The store is not dirty but certainly isn't spotless. The beer selection is good but very expensive. My recent standby is 3 Bud Light tall boys for $5. A good deal for Philly. Most other things are also quite expensive, but I guess you pay for the convenience. Great that they take credit cards for any amount - can't underestimate the convenience of that. read more

Great place when you need something local and quick. Sometimes you just don't want to trek to that big supermarket and you're willing to pay a little more for the convenience. Try these folks. Nice selection of groceries and beer. Excellent hoagies. Everyone is really friendly. I stop in often and I'm sure to continue. read more

I just wanted to stop by the market next to the hotel for a crappy bag of chips, and was shocked to find that they had a great beer selection! Ended up returning to the hotel with two six-packs. A little pricey, but definitely better than what is offered at the hotel. Also, quite a good selection of food items and drinks for a small little market. Definitely a pleasant surprise. read more

They certainly know how to make a sandwich! There are lots of quality beers and organic foods to choose from. It's a bit higher in price, but they've got everything there in one place for when you just need to make a quick trip. Me likey~ read more

Tons of take out beer - great selection!!! And they have gluten free ciders as well. They carry Angry Orchard, Woodchuck and just saw they got Tweason'ale - but I think that may have been a one off, but they have gluten free options!! They also do made to order sandwiches here and they have some various grocery items as well so if your in a pinch and need something this is a great place to come. They even have a little dairy section and frozen section...the beer section is much larger however. read more

I like the 75 cent toothbrushes! But perhaps maybe I bought them out? They are located on the lower shelf directly in front of the cash registers. Now I have a lifetime supply! They also sell Lara Bars here. read more

I like Mulberry. It's great if you want just a couple of beers, and they have an awesome selection. Yes, they just finally opened a beer distributor in Old CIty, but sometimes you just want a couple. They are reasonably priced as well. As far as grocery they have what you would expect in a small market. I usually just pick up some chips. But they also have medicine, meats, etc. read more

The sandwiches here are made quickly and taste fresh. It's a bit overpriced but it's a corner store in Old City, that's to be expected. I wish they still took phone orders for food but I can understand why they don't anymore. The beer selection in the back is pretty good but also overpriced. They've got a little bit of everything and a HUGE soft drink selection. read more

Mulberry Market has really great subs. I recommend the pastrami or the tuna club. I would never buy any groceries from here, unless in a bind. read more

For lunch: (and lunch only, as that is my only experience of the place) A good (surprisingly good) hoagie and a good craft bottle of beer for only $9, as far as I know nowhere else in the city can beat that. read more

This grocery store/deli/beer barn is a very well run store located in the heart of Olde City Philadelphia. The chip selection is very good and they are fully stocked with all kinds of non alcoholic beverages. The sandwiches are decent and they have tables in the back to sit and eat. Nice selection of ice cream too. The staff is very friendly and always helpful. Two pretty big cons about the place. One, they are part of the minimum $10 credit card club which seems to plague most small bodega type markets. Two, since they have a minimal deli and tables and chairs they can sell beer and malt liquor by the can. The homeless alcoholics love this place because they can panhandle the tourists and boutique shoppers in Olde City and then hit this place up with their change for a tall boy. I can't count how many times I've seen people passed out on the stoop a few buildings down from this place. All in all it's a great market but seems to attract a bad element to the neighborhood. read more

Very nice, great customer service, good mto sandwichs & excellent selection of beers - great local place for the last minute things
