I stopped in her looking for a local new sandwich place to get something different. They seemed to have the standard fare and I was not certain exactly what I wanted, so I decided to look around. It is a small, intimate, family owned store located in quaint Southport, great for locals or passerbys to pick up some groceries or other necessities. I saw lots of locals getting a variety of different things. I did spot my fave brand of chips from ME. I also saw that they have an olive oil refilling station. You buy the olive oil and then return and fill the bottle for $12.99-great idea! I may return to inquire if I can sample this brand before purchasing to do this. Most items are priced on the higher end, but a great option if you are in the area. A few parking spaces in small lot but also on street parking. Lovely area with bakery and other places to eat and just walk around. read more

Delicious food - lots of variety - in a friendly place, which is nestled in a gorgeous location. What more could you want? : )

Great people are what makes this market so special, along with the highest quality products. They go out of their way to get me exactly what I need, especially in the butcher department. Food made there is terrific; try the double baked potatoes! Great sandwiches as well. Highly recommended! read more

Enjoyed this market the quality and freshness and professionalism is excellent. I found the sandwich toppings a bit meager though and that's an important aspect to a sandwich. read more

You know when people say "oh, you can't ruin an egg sandwich" or whatever? Well, yes actually you can, unfortunately. Now, should you desire an excellent breakfast sandwich like an over medium egg on a fresh Portugees roll buttered w a slice of melting-by-the-second Brie then come here! They make excellent sandwiches, fresh breakfasts, baked goods, prepared foods, & quick local market items. It's local, quality pervayors, quaint & convent spot to grab & go to beaches or marina. Catering too. read more

Perfect deli/market in the perfect location. Reminds me of summer time. The best Saturday lunches are spent picking up some items from the Spic & Span and having a little picnic at the beach right down the road. Or better yet, picking up some snacks for the boat. Sandwiches are always awesome- and just perfect for what you want. I love their roast beef- it is so rare and just spot on. You'd also be surprised the type of stuff you can pick up here. I was impressed that they even carried sriracha sauce, which can be hard to come by in regular supermarkets. Gregory Peck's (not the actor) Spic & Span market is a Southport staple. read more

I went in to get a sandwich and was completely turned off by my experience. The store is a classic upscale and expensive food store but the staff could not have been less friendly. While I'm a well dressed and well mannered middle aged person, I was amazed to have not one but two staff members sternly tell me to not touch something. As I leaned forward to enquire about an order, one person said "don't touch the counter." Soon thereafter I was remonstrated about where to stand. Not that there were signs, plus I was masked and had gloves. A little too big in their britches. And it was expensive. And not much better than a Subway sandwich for less than 1/2 the price. read more

Walked in and was pleasantly surprised with how cool this little market was. They offer deli sandwiches along w daily specials. With a wide assortment of bread and condiment options. On the upper side is a full salad bar and meat market. This place is a fantastic small town Main Street market! One not to be missed!!9 read more

We shop here weekly. The very best meat anywhere. A super niche store to go to when you're tired of big super markets and want personalized service with quality meats! read more

Calling Spic & Span a deli is like calling St. Peter's Basilica a church. Sure, it has fantastic sandwiches, meat, prepared food, and groceries. But more than that, it is a spiritual center of the Southport community, an independent business that has endured for nearly a century, and a family of genuinely kind people who approach their work with care and their customers with compassion. There are some newer markets in town. But no joyless strip mall panino or bowl of trendy vegetal goop can match the loving simplicity of a Spic & Span lunch special. No sad supermarket steak comes with a conversation. Stop in for a sandwich on a sunny day. Take the short walk down Main Street, and eat atop the harbor wall. There's nothing better. read more

Best sandwich in ffld county. I get one of the specials every day for lunch, and have yet to be disappointed.

If you're hungry for a nice deli sandwich or wrap and want your money's worth, don't go here. They do not give you any meat on your sandwich. Apparently they have their sandwich meat pre measured for the day but you'll get more bread than meat. It's grossly disappointing and kind of a sham. You'll pay $$$ for a dud sandwich. They should tell people before they order that there's barely any meat on the sandwich. Shame on them. read more

Spic & Span Market - Meat Shops Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Cute little shop with a surprising variety of items, from sandwiches to cleaning supplies to candy to toothpaste! Staff always super friendly, sandwiches are quality, as are the premade foods on the other side of the store. A little too pricey to be a "regular" but great nonetheless read more

Had a ham & cheese sandwich on a roll for $7.50 but it was really delicious. Also my cousin had a turkey & cheese and said it was really good read more

I don't know why no one says this to them. They give a tiny amount of lunch meat and hide it behind a pile of lettuce and tomato. For the prices they don't deliver. read more

Sandwiches on a hard roll are a CT classic. Nowhere else does "hard roll" mean what it means here in CT.

I have been eating lunch from this place for years, virtually every weekday. What else needs to be said. The deli sandwiches are great...you'll literally find anything. But if you really want a great sandwich, ask for Bob at the prepared food counter, find whatever piece of meat they have that day and ask him to make you something nice. He never disappoints. The only draw back....it can be pricey...yet I keep gping back. Nice people too. read more

Hands down the best sandwiches you will find in Fairfield County, the rest of Connecticut, most of New England. The only other competition would be with hard to find or know deli's in NYC. Cold pickle with every sandwich. Soups are great. Smart to call in your order at lunch because you will wait in a 25 person line. I repeat, the best sandwiches you will find in all of Fairfield County, the rest of Connecticut, and most of New England. Very super exclusive read more

I grew up in Southport and have gotten their sandwich specials all my life. They have all been wonderful, with their specials being particularly good. Highly recommended to locals and visitors alike. read more

Manager/owners are fantastic. Deli food is fantastic, hot food tastes homemade. There meats are fantastic and they will prepare however you'd like. A step back in time. A real gem. read more

We love this market for the great lunches - delicious sandwiches, soup, and unique snacks. They are always mixing it up with great sandwich specials so you could go everyday for weeks and have something different. However the food is just part of the positive experience - we keep going back because the staff is amazing - always a smile and always helpful. read more

There is something to be said about little stores in a village community. Perhaps they don't like outsiders especially in the posh old money town of southport. Anywho, for overpriced sandwiches I have to say spic and span market doesn't live up. I paid $9.75 for a roast beef sandwich that had less than half the meat. I didn't order a sandwich "half the meat" they just cheat you out of a full sandwich very disappointing. Also, I asked for cheese. Opened sandwich...no cheese. So besides being snooty, overpriced and not making full meaty sandwiches...the store is a cute general store with zero room to move. read more

This is my hometown market...the staff is fantastic and will make a sandwich or butcher a steak any way you ask!

Completely overpriced!!! Got 4 salmon filets and 2 yogurts---$53.00. Yes the salmon was $20 a pound!!! Bought a roast beef for a holiday, it was $102.00!!!!!! Quality not good enough to charge those prices. I guess the rich people in Southport don't care what they spend. Will never go there again. read more

the most expensive market ever!!! even more expensive than whole foods market (whole paycheck inc.)!!! Snotty staff at the register and especially the owner Greg(ory). Its really sad that rudeness breeds such ugliness and entitlement. I have tried this place 3 times and it doesn't change. Also I watched as the food sits out and flies land on it and spread their disease and sprouting maggots. They don't care about the locals only how much money they are spending... out of business soon!!! read more

My absolute favorite deli/market. Excellent sandwiches, chicken tenders, side dishes, baked goods. I could eat here every day. Grab some food and head down the road to beach. They also offer a great selection of specialty food items. read more
