Global Foods is never the same place twice, always something new or different or something you…read moremissed the time before! Always an adventure! I stopped in to get Thai basil and was excited that they had fresno peppers back in stock! Yay! I left with my Thai basil, the Fresno peppers, chipotle in adobo sauce, baby bok choy, and cinnamon bun Oreo cookies. Cashiers are always friendly. Find your new dinner no matter the ingredients.1

This is a much smaller space than I was expecting, but it had a good amount of international items…read more We came by looking for specific Filipino condiments, and was happy to find bagoong (shrimp paste). It was about $4.00 cheaper compared to another Asian market. They also had various Filipino frozen goods: tocino, longganisa, lumpia, and frozen meals. I was impressed by their Japanese goods section, but I didn't need anything at the time! The parking lot is small, so just be mindful getting in and out.

Glad to find this spot while staying at the nearby Moonrise Hotel. Sometimes when traveling solo, I…read morelike to load up on water so I don't have to drink out of hotel sinks during my stay. I was happy to find some fantastic canned cold brews as well, so I was covered with my "coffee before the real coffee" the next morning. I might have a problem. The vibe in here is good when you walk in, a little weird towards the back. I'm not sure if part of the back was open or storage, it got darker and more isolated. There were tons of other snacks and a lot of Asian specialty items as well. Nice to have a store anchored in a busier area and near the university. I will definitely pop in here again if staying in the Loop.

I reviewed United Provisions 10 years ago? And I gave it only 4 stars? Must be remedied!…read moreI now eat more international foods, though I'm still vegetarian and that limits me. United Provisions has turned into decent place to stop for a quick snack. When I stopped by last week, I bought 2 tornado relief fundraising mystery snack boxes. What a nice idea and so nicely presented. My cat enjoyed sitting on the wrapping paper. I've only unboxed one (the other is a gift). I don't want to spoil the mystery here, but I will add that I was a little disappointed that there were no chips or crackers in the box. However, the box value seemed quite good.

I picked that up as well as the Aztec Ensalada and Provence Nicoise. They are so good, can't wait to try the Thai Siracha. There were several other people shopping but I wanted to head out instead of moseying through the aisles looking at all the great local and unique items. Checkout is a breeze, don't forget your rewards! No bag and no receipt by design.

I found out Local Harvest does a farm box and now we're there every other Sunday. They also have a…read more10% discount on everything else on days you pick up your box. For the box - wow, we get an awesome selection of produce and other goods and for the quality, it's totally worth it. We've loved having the challenge of some unique items we would never buy otherwise too. It's been such a cool addition to our grocery items. The store itself is very cute, I'm from the Bay Area and it reminds me of a cool little Berkeley bodega. We loved the herb/veggie plants this spring, love the fresh, local produce (great mushrooms!!!), and local milk! They have such cool, unique ingredients and have really leveled up our cooking. We love buying local, and love that they also support all local vendors. Such a fantastic business.

Food was great Service we have had this person lady before!…read moreBehind deli counter! She is rude, lazy. Slow because she really doesn't want to work! She wanted us to buy already made stuff constantly! We were inconveniencing her! The entire ambiance of the store has changed last few years! You don't feel like family at all! I travel over an hour once every few months for my Italian supplies! Really has gone down hill! No Italian sliced bread!!

What a lovely shop. It's small and quiet and has lots of kitchenware, what is there to complain?…read morePerfect for preparing for almost anything-picnics, barbeques, catering, they have the right materials. Some of the stuff here is also really cute and not just useful. The great part: It's also reasonably priced. They also have a downstairs which was unique in my opinion. Service was decent. I have nothing else to add. It's just....another good place. But that's a good thing, no? I will definietly be back because this place was just wonderful.

Everything about the market from the customer…read moreappreciation annual event to the monthly wine tastings/ad hoc wine tasting at the register basically any time you walk in, says fun and friendly. They always have a fantastic selection of craft beer, unique wine and local food plus lots of staples. Sure you may spend a little bit more but the convenience factor and supporting a local family owned business is so with it! On a personal note, last winter when we got a ton of snow and the stores were a mad house I was able to make it to the market, grab a bag of ice melt (which everyone else was out of), a pizza and some beer to save the day! Thanks for always being the best!!

Gustine Market is a lonely person's dream…read more They have take and bake Shakespeare's, Ted Drewes, Wine, Beer, fine cheeses, crackers and many other local goodies. It's seriously the perfect stop for a night of Netflix in bed...or I suppose last minute calorie filled meals. The store is small but it's all you need. Plenty o' curb-side parking as well. They're always doing wine and cheese tastings for free whenever I drive by. They did one when I went in but I didn't partake too much. This is seriously my favorite tiny market in St. Louis. It's perfect.
