She was so very knowledgeable and friendly and took a huge amount of time to explain the origin of where they get their spices and also how to use them in a lot of ways. I ended up buying multiple packages of the recipe kits for some of the Indian recipes so that I can try some of the seasonings that I'm not familiar with prior to buying. I wish that it was closer, but anytime I'm in the area. I will be headed back that way for more knowledgeable conversation from a fellow foodie... Oh yeah, and to re-supply!

This was like being in a bigger city! The cheese bar was open, and we were served a few delicious cheeses with full explanations. We of course ended up buying cheese to go with the wine we were not planning on purchasing. Then I found the wine, wow, what a selection. These are not the supermarket wines, these are excellent selections made by people that know what they are buying. Something unique, delicious, and bold. I loved it. It was pricey, but the service was excellent (until we went to the fish counter - maybe a bad day?). But everyone else in the store was very helpful, kind, and were smiling. The prices were a bit high, but the location is pretty, well organized, clean, and again - very helpful staff.

A biiiit overpriced? You got it! Although a bit expensive for staple food, this was a cute find while walking around Portland. We left with English muffins and some cheese as a way to support the business. We were impressed, however, by their selection. They seriously had it all, including hot food like soups and sandwiches (this as part of Union Kitchen). If looking for local gifts from Maine for a friend, definitely visit Maine's Pantry. Our favorite part about Maine's Pantry was the service. We were immediately welcomed and even had the nicest conversation with the staff.

The food was stellar- and don't think you can really go wrong with anything on the menu. Would 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Portland.

There is only a small amount of vendors that are in this building. I came by the Portland Public Market House with my husband for lunch on a Thursday afternoon, before noon.

But the building here itself doesn't really offer than many eateries and think this place has so much potential. I think there should be more seating though for those patrons that wish to dine in.

They have one of the widest selections of restaurants, with a user friendly app and website. They'll deliver alcohol in addition to food. And, perhaps best of all, the fees and surcharges are clearly outlined before you order. Taken in whole, it's not cheap ordering delivery from local restaurants. But if you would normally order drinks and food out, this is definitely a more economical and convenient alternative. I've ordered from Carhop over a dozen times with no issues. Last night I had my first issue. When my order showed on the app as delivered, but wasn't, I contacted Carhop on their handy live chat feature and was asked to check all entrances. My front door is brightly lit and obvious (it even has a floodlight). There is also an unlit, snow and ice covered side staircase that no delivery service has ever braved. It's likely every homeowners insurance company's worst nightmare. But there was the order, on a zero degree night, frozen solid to the ice. When I jammed the side door open and grabbed the bag, it exploded, leaving a war zone of ramen. I was able to salvage half the order, while the rest has made me the honorary king of the local raccoon population. A quick note to Carhop explaining the situation (with a picture) and I was instantly fully refunded. I feel like they went above and beyond in service and would highly recommend!
