What a great neighborhood store! Aisles are filled with any type of grocery item you'd need from fresh produce to flour to hot sauce. There aren't any self-checkout lanes open so expect to wait a few minutes if you go during a busy time. read more

Rittenhouse Market is a neighborhood staple. Their staff is super friendly and knowledgable about their store and offerings. The store is well kept, clean, organized and stocked. They have just about everything you'd see at a larger grocery store, just a bit less variety. As you could expect from a Center City neighborhood market, the prices are a bit steeper, but not enough to deter from going entirely. I do my main grocery shopping at ACME, but Rittenhouse Market is the perfect spot if I'm in between grocery trips or need to grab a few items. read more

I first started spending time in Philadelphia in 2017 during a long-distance relationship with my now-wife. I was living in Soho and very much immersed in the New York lifestyle. New York will always be a singular, extraordinary place to me, but Rittenhouse Market has come to represent my transition into Philly and my growing appreciation for what makes this city special. After getting married in 2021, I moved here full-time. Leaving New York was bittersweet, and apartment hunting during COVID was emotional. I'd never imagined living anywhere else. But discovering Rittenhouse Market immediately pulled me toward this neighborhood and helped it feel like home. Today, it's a staple of my daily life. The market is organic, well cared for, and thoughtfully run by people who understand their community. Prices are fair, the selection is practical yet discerning, and nothing feels overly precious or performative. The staff is consistently friendly and knowledgeable, with almost no turnover, which gives the place a rare sense of continuity. Countless small touches reflect its role as a neighborhood institution: stamps, cards, Christmas trees, firewood, those random essentials you don't realize you need until you do. It's a modern corner market that still remembers its roots. My previous local markets were Gourmet Garage, Citarella, and Gristedes. Rittenhouse Market feels like the best elements of all three: the charm and curation, the organic sensibility, the everyday practicality, without the usual tradeoffs. It's a market rather than a full-scale grocery, but the breadth of offerings is impressive. (Their South Street location, South Square Market, is even larger.) The store functions as a kind of mini town square for neighborhood residents, and the people watching is great. The staff and regulars have this effortlessly cool, authentic, and unpretentious vibe that feels very Philly. While I love gourmet spots like Di Bruno Bros, which serve a different purpose, Rittenhouse Market is where daily life actually happens. They complement each other perfectly. For me, this place mirrors the experience of settling into Philadelphia, becoming a family person, and finding a rhythm that balances convenience with character. It's not engineered for trends or social media, just quietly confident in what it is. That combination, progressive and global yet grounded and unpretentious, is exactly what I've come to love about Philly. Rittenhouse Market embodies that spirit, and I'll remain a loyal customer as long as I live nearby. Thank you! read more

On the real tip, the people who work here are the strangest group I have ever seen not only in appearance but in their inability to simply be a part of normal society .They openly embrace the vagrant begging people outside and the prices on everything in store are outrageous. The entire place smells like church's fried chicken and I think the employees are in some type of cult . Again they are all very odd and I believe this is no coincidence or accident . read more

Rittenhouse Market - Every day he is here harassing hard working customers - Grocery Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The business at fault is not the Savoy cleaners but the one connected to it that sells produce and meats. I don't know who this guy was, but he was at least upper management or the owner and he was completely rude to me and my fellow coworkers just because we were trying to find somewhere to park. He wanted to be belligerent with us, even when I was polite and under understanding of where he was coming from, but his execution of telling us did not so unruly and just flat out disrespectful cannot recommend this place especially the exterior and interior aren't nice at all. You're better off going somewhere else nearby for your goods. read more

The staff on Sunday night is unbelievably rude and the manager is more interested in standing around and chit-chatting with the staff then making sure they treat customers with at least some respect! Clearly there is no pride and ownership! read more

There was a section of their green vegetable cooler that was velveted in a black mold that was causing me a severe respiratory reaction, choking, coughing, wheezing and watery eyes. When I told three different employees about it, there seemed to be very little concern shown about the problem. read more

Adorable corner market right in the heart of Rittenhouse square area. Lots of fresh fruit and veggies! Love it!

I would like to thank the clerk in produce yesterday, July 3, who helped me locate a specific kind of lemon from hearing me talking about it on the phone with my wife. He exceeded my expectations helping me. I hope he has earned a raise for his work performance. read more

Service is exceptional. People are helpful, friendly and willing to go the extra step. It's a rarity to find this level of service in center city. Happy with selection of products and their variety. Staff keeps the place clean and restocking accomplished courteously without block aisle. Don't mind paying a very little bit extra for what I receive in return read more

I hate to leave a bad review of a local grocery store but there's some serious red flags here, most notably the absence of prices for a lot of items (see photo). That's careless at best and deceitful at worst. The prices (that are listed) are very high and the overall quality of brands is pretty average. There is virtually no organic options whatsoever. That being said, it is in a very convenient location where there isn't another larger grocery store nearby and you'll find all the standard staples here quite reliably. The staff is friendly enough and the produce decently fresh when I went. I'd say only go here if you don't care about price or quality, otherwise make the extra effort and go somewhere else. read more

Rittenhouse Market - How much do these cost? Buy at your own risk... - Grocery Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I when to the deli on 9/18/24 at approx.1:30 p.m. and ordered a sandwich at the deli counter. When I saw that the counter employee did not add lettuce and tomato to the sandwich I brought it to his attention. He advised me that I "do this every time I come in there". He advised me that I ordered my complete sandwich when his back was turned. He did not write down the order. I am seventy years old and do not appreciate being talked rudely to. When I asked for a manager I was advised at the front counter that one was not available. This employee was extremely rude and at best should be working at a hot dog cart. If you want to pay high prices and get treated rude go to this establishment. read more

The food is not fresh... rotting produce out on the stand... I've bought both sour cream and chicken that had gone off... the produce that is "fresh" is without fail soft and moldy within two days of taking it home... I want to add to the chorus so that hopefully someone in management notices and decides to care about selling food that won't make their patrons sick. I think the only way this place stays in business is location location location. Service is fine ‍ read more

So I live in Rittenhouse so felt I had an almost obligation to try the Rittenhouse Market. To this day I am still confused if I got robbed on some of the item price points and thought about dropping in the local po-po's office to inquire if I indeed was robbed. $12.99 for a jar of Gefilte Fish which has six pieces. $5.99 for a non-perishable can of Aspargarus Spears. I also was guilty of purchasing a 9 oz container of assorted nuts for $9.99. To be fair its not out of control prices and is very convienent. I found the service to be extremely friendly and the people that shopped there were very friendly as well which is nice as the entire store does have a small feel to it. I did run into some items on the shelves that should have been removed based on the sell by date, all of the garden salads. Which was disappointing as I was looking to buy one. Still haven't found my go to grocery store in the area but this is another option different from Square Market on South Street and you can definitely grab and go here with no lines from what I can tell. read more

I will never bake another turkey. The rotisserie turkey at Rittenouse Market is so great!

Rittenhouse Market - Unfair pricing practices - Grocery Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Food tasted good it was clean, fresh, and not bad at all. The strange part was the guy that spit on me while I wa's paying for my food. Absolutely discusting...people in this market read more

Market closes at10 pm. Your abusive night employee starts yelling at people at 9:54 (which is when we entered) and makes a store announcement saying "We're closing in 5 minutes, why are you waiting until now to shop?" Response to, "we'll be out by 10, just getting water" was "That's what everyone says, I don't know, don't care" Everything on the belt for cashier, 9:58, and he's yelling " check yourself out, we're closed." I have spent thousands of dollars with you over the years. I refuse to be verbally abused over a last minute 3 item checkout at your market as you're closing. Are you in business for profit, or for your jerk of a night manager's desire to be out the door PRIOR to closing? All he had to do if he wanted to close up is lock the door and say nothing, but instead yelled at least 10 of us for doing last minute shopping. Be great if you fired him and treated customers like they are valued. (Just for reference, this happened and was posted 12/13.) read more

Love this local gem and the kind people who work there. They have fresh produce and most things you might want including household goods, stamps and even a decent kosher meat selection. Glad we live in walking distance. read more

Convenient and good selection. Employees are also helpful and polite. I wouldn't recommend deli meats here or their deli bagels. Bagels were hard and stale (you can tell which ones have been sitting out for days). The turkey is extremely slimy and a weird color. They have sides at the deli that look like they have been sitting out for days. It's a good place to grab quick groceries that you may have forgotten during your normal grocery run, but when it comes to the fresh food, you might as well spend a few more dollars at Di Bruno Bros. read more

Walking into the Rittenhouse Market reminded me a Tesco's Express or Sainsbury's Local in the UK. It is what it is: a small, no frills grocery store that's conveniently located in the heart of a city so you can get what you need (or what you forgot elsewhere) quickly. It's not especially clean, it's not especially spacious, it's not especially cheap... but it's always there. We were staying nearby on Manning Street and realized that we were desperate for diet cola (side note: I did *not* know about Philly's soda tax... way to shame me, City of Brotherly Love. Je ne regret rien!). We walked down here thinking we'd pop in and out, but ended up exploring the store more than we anticipated because of the impressive amount of variety. Seltzer water flavors we had never seen, new-to-us chip options, and vegetarian staples I swear by at home that had selections I didn't even knew existed. Okay, Rittenhouse Market, way to have everything I need (or forgot elsewhere) and THEN some! read more

This medium sized grocery store is jam packed with great fresh produce including meat and veggies and all the packaged products you could want. Love that they have kosher meat options here. Don't be put off by the fact that it is in Rittenhouse, they don't price their stuff higher than normal center city prices, which I appreciate. They have self checkout and open really early too. 5/5 would recommend! read more

Good market with good choice of food but there are no beers here. But it's common issues for PA state. We've bought all our food here.

Despite it's extremely convenient location a lot of things are overpriced here. Fortunately they make up for the outlandish prices with amazing customer services; everyone who works here is so nice and helpful! If you're looking for a grocery store that delivers, look no further! This is a good spot for picking things up throughout the week that you missed or ran out of before your next big grocery trip. read more

They have terrible lunch meat, the scales are dirty n the chicken I bought was bad, the prices are over priced, never again . They suck. read more

Its far from my first choice to shop for groceries. But Rittenhouse Market can be a good mish mash of conventional, organic, and local items; albeit oftentimes on a more expensive pricetag than most other grocers as others have alluded to. But I suppose that's the price to pay in supporting the little guys these days, and the amicable customer service and reliability of being able to locate some harder to find items can make it worthwhile. The produce section is always fresh and well maintained. and the butcher and prepared foods sections are spot on for a tinier store. read more

Not a lot of selection to be honest, but it's nice to have a corner market in the neighborhood for basic items. Stopped by here to get a few snacks and toothpaste. They have a deli in the back of the store and a soup bar. It would be a nice if they'd run a meal deal like the ones in England or Ireland. Mark & Spencers, Sainsbury, Tesco, Lidl, Dunnes....They all offer some sort of meal deal which includes drink, sandwich, and chips! This store is very basic. I didn't see anything good on sale either. read more

Prices are definitely high as other reviews state but understandably so as it's located in of the most expensive areas in Philly. I did find prices on a few of their items such as yogurt to be similar to that of Target a few blocks away. Customer service obviously depends on the cashier you get; it can be a hit (nice) or miss (not so friendly) here. I like how they give you the choice of getting paper or plastic bags here and how they always double bag your items. read more

Love this place but guy in the deli area wasnt wearing his mask over his mouth and nose so I decided not to add more and did instacart from another store. If you're going to wear the mask.. wear it. All that money to be covid complaint and you cant even wear a mask?! read more

Good local market. Yes, it's expensive, no it's not fancy. But their service is great, they deliver, it's clean and they have a good deli. I like to support local businesses this is as local as it gets. read more

I was in the market the other day and was treated rudely and arrogantly by some entitled man at the customer service desk. I was trying to order some watermelon that comes in packaged from another company but none was on the shelf. I asked a man from the produce department if he could cut some for me. I was told he was busy cutting other fruit. That's when I decided to go to customer service and ask if when the prepackaged watermelon came in if they could deliver 4 packages with their delivery service. He kept talking over me so I never got the full story and request out. I said he was being rude. He smirked and said he wasn't rude. If he denied it that makes it so. I guess he thought he'd get away with it because I am 80 yo. I walked away to check on another item with him yelling out "Don't you walk away." I didn't go to the R'house market to argue but to buy watermelon. He told me he had a Masters degree from Columbia, guess they didn't teach him how to "man" the customer service desk at a market.. I'd like to find out who owns the Great Scott chain so I can say more. I've lived on the Square and shopped there since 1982. They had a very helpful manager who was pleasant and helpful but left to go to manage DiBrunos. Guess the ownership of Rittenhouse Market was not kind to him either. I do most of my shopping at Maxx's on 20th Street because the couple who own the market are like neighbors, warm, friendly and helpful. read more

Awful product quality. Waaaaay over priced. 8.00 for a seedless conventional mini watermelon. I get organic mini's of great quality at Whole Foods for 3.99. PLUS...for an added bonus, shopping in this store during a pandemic is terrifying. They just pack them in no distancing. No alternating of cashiers. The employees don't even bother to distance from the customers and don't wear their masks properly. Don't bother discussing the mask situation or distancing with Jeremy the manager. I tried 3 times. All three times he stated, "I don't care." I'm all for supporting local business, but I'll support the businesses that actually do care. read more

Prices are high and quality is poor. I question the quality of products. The guy making the hoagies on Friday night March 23rd, wiped his nose on the glove on the part of the wrist twist after making the hoagie. I don't remember if he changed his gloves before making the hoagie, but that is just hygienically careless. I think he knew it too. It's not like your not paying top dollar here as well. This place sucks! read more

Step right up, folks! What mysteries, what wonders lie within this glass-fronted grocerarium? You've gawked the bearded lady, you yawned as the sword-swallower downed a flaming bayonet, but ladies and gentleman, let me assure you - you have never seen anything like this. Here in our fair city, mere blocks from our humble abodes, there dwells a spectacle of most mind-shattering magnitude: it's the WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE GROCERY STORE! You heard it here first, folks. You want carrots, lasagna noodles, a block of feta? You'll find all these things and more, at prices so high you'll feel dizzy just reading them. Marvel at the $6 crackers (gasp!), gaze at singularly unappealing prepared foods (no!), and don't even ask what they charge for Method dish soap! I'll bet you thought Whole Foods was rather pricey - my dear friends, take it from me: you've never seen anything like this. read more

The prices are sky high, staff are scarily unfriendly, produce is disgusting (rotten garlic) and overpriced, but the last straw for me was my latest interaction with a cashier. I presented a manufacturer's coupon I printed at home to the cashier and she responded with, "That's no good here." I checked to see if it was expired (it wasn't) and asked why. She told me it wasn't "legit" and after I asked why again she said it was because it was printed. During this lovely exchange she made zero eye contact and sighed repeatedly. The only thing they have going for them is their location. read more

Yeah, it's really pretty bad... The folks who work there are nice, on the whole, so I'm giving it a second star. I've been going here for years since my time in school. Unless you're willing to walk to 10th street, this is one of your few grocery store options in the area. Spruce Mart on 15-16th and, um, Spruce, is decent enough, but that's really a big corner store/bodega. DiBruno brothers is excellent, but up on Chestnut and 18th, and more of a specialty item store--not where you get your cereal and 2% milk. There's Sue's for produce also up 18th, but they just sell produce. So in the end, you're stuck with the "Shttenhouse," as I like to call it. The produce here is poor to bad, and they make little effort to make it even look fresh. The green leafy veggies are often wilted, brown, and withered, and the fruit either way to early to put out or, more often, a bit rotted here and there. It's been a long time since I've bought meats there. I probably wouldn't, either. And so not a huge selection, very poor produce, and an extremely high price point for what you get makes this place a bad choice unless you have no other option, which I guess is how they stay in business. Avoid it if you can get what you want somewhere else and it's convenient to you. read more

Higher prices, yes. Surly staff, probably. Poor selection... I have to quibble with that one. It's not the selection that's bad, it's the quality of what's available that's bad. The last time I was there, I think I literally picked over twenty jalapenos before selecting three that seemed like they were in at least marginally acceptable condition. But hey, at least they HAVE jalapenos. This may be my fault for being from California, but if I can't get jalapenos, serranos, and anaheims in good condition in the same place... it's almost too much to bear. Anyway, as a car-less shopper, this place has saved my poor-planning ass more than once. If I need molasses, I know they have it. If I want brussels sprouts, my odds of finding them here (questionable condition notwithstanding...) are better than any other place within a four block radius. Sometimes, when it's 15 degrees out, that's just enough. Tack on the additional half-star for carrying my beloved Method home cleaning products and I have a solid three-star experience. read more

The most stupid supermarket that takes advantage of its proximity to center city and its monopoly as a full-fledged market in order to sell overpriced and expired foods. Pretty much every single thing is over priced while still being of terrible quality, since its been sitting on the shelf for too long. Bought canned peppers and used it once and a week later it was bad. I've been guilty of running in here when in dire need of something but I try to avoid it as much as possible. read more

So incredibly expensive it astounds me every time I go inside. I live close, so I'll stop in to pick up something I forgot during my usual shopping, but I usually leave deciding I'll figure out a substitute at home because the prices are so exorbitant. Anything you can think of the price is going to be double if not triple what a normal supermarket would charge. It's ridiculous and frankly predaHighly recommend you save your money and walk the extra few minutes to Target, Trader Joe's, or Sprouts. Whole Foods might honestly be cheaper. read more

I sincerely hate this market. I can understand higher prices, and lack of selection. But nothing can explain the rudeness and lack of customer service I have experienced here, time and time again. Once, while checking out, I was directed to another lane--told his was closed. Fine. Only 1 person ahead of me. Once more people got behind me, he walked back to his lane, and snapped--yes SNAPPED--his fingers in the air and pointed at me. Now, there was no smile, no joke, and barely a thank you. And that is not an isolated incident. From the non-smiling cashiers who stare out into space the entire time and make the biggest deal I've ever seen out of making sure a twenty isn't fake, to the ongoing, never-ending stocking that happens in practically every aisle so you can't even get through, is ridiculous. I expect this kind of poor service at the center city wendy's, but not an overpriced grocery store in the heart of the most affluent neighborhood in the city. Go to the South Street market on 23rd--they are so friendly and helpful, it's worth the extra walk (bigger and cheaper, too). read more
