The tuna is bomb. But I like the way the guy makes it during the week better than the weekend woman . Nothing personal, just a tuna snob who likes her tuna to be well mixed and not so mayo-y, but just enough mayo. The roll is amazing and it's a pretty big hoagie for $7. ( shhh..I'm not supposed to be eating bread right now). As far as snacks go, this place has all your munchie needs covered: big cookies, cupcakes and cheddar bacon popcorn, which I didn't even know existed, yum! And obviously beers galore, if that's your thing I'm sure you already know. I'm a vodka girl so I'm just reviewing the food here. read more

Quick and simple. They are consistent here. You always know what you're going to get. The staff is super nice and every sandwich I've ever got hits. I'm especially a fan of the Ruben. Highly recommend read more

The Foodery - Delis Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I'd normally give five stars - I'm in the neighborhood and come here often. But the lack of air conditioning in this weather is inexcusable and uncomfortable as a customer visiting even for a short period. With lines getting longer in the weekend waiting in the store is something I'd rather not do. read more

Tried a TooGoodToGo here yesterday since I had a home cooked dinner from a new friend planned near here, and I wanted.to be curious and bring something. Friend cancels a few hours before and I don't try to cancel this order. So I show up and pick up this very light feeling bag. The ratings weren't the best on the app but I was curious to try anyway. Vegan chips, onion rings chips, and a healthier looking fruit roll were provided. Reasonable for random goodies. A nicer convenience store that fits in with the neighborhood specifically. read more

We stopped in for a beer but saw they had a Northern Liberties cheesesteak. We got to Northern Liberties cheesesteak. Spoiler alert: it is a roast beef panini. It is a good roast beef panini. Nice place. Very helpful people. Huge Beer selection. $7. There are a lot of reasons to love the Foodery in Northern Liberties. read more

Due to being so used to The Foodery on 10th and Pine it took awhile for me to consider reviewing the NoLibs one as a deli. Grant it the 1st one has the same fab sandwiches and deli counter. But it so small and gets so packed, that the thought of using it for sandwiches never crosses my mind. But with the awesomeness that is the NoLibs location it's a totally different story. Bring on the sammiches! The Asian guy working the sandwich section was tops. And it was pretty damn tricky choosing what sandwich to go with since there's at least 12 specials and plenty of customization options. But in the end I grabbed a smoked turkey BLT with sharp provolone on toasted white bread. And my eating companion scored a fully loaded veggie sandwich on multigrain bread. So it's not like I'm complaining, especially since you enjoy it with a beer from their vast selection (I love me some Hitachino!). read more

Visiting from NYC, it was difficult news to take when we found out that beer cannot be purchased from your local CVS. What the?! How do ya....Where do ya....What do ya.....WHY?! But this way of purchasing beer is pretty awesome too. A shop with a great selection of beers--including some of my most obscure favorites, such as Lindemans Peche ( A fruity, crisp favorite that I drink when I'm attempting to drink beer like a lady...which is mostly never.) Pick up a cardboard six pack and mix and match , buy a case of assorted beer, or just pick up one or two beers for yourself. Pretty awesome place if you ask me. The workers were super friendly, though they were out of Bud Light, but I mean...who cares about that, when you've got literally 1000s of other choices? Thanks Foodery! read more

Don't just come here for beer! Come here for the sandwiches! Unlike the beer, the sandwiches are totally reasonable in price. The combinations are awesome and I have yet to have a sandwich I didn't like. You won't be disappointed. Now, about the beer. It's the best beer selection you will find in the city. However, it's also the most expensive. A 6-pack of decent beer should not cost more than $12-$15. Here, it does. Unfortunately, there are very few places in the city where you can actually just buy a six-pack. Your choices are either single bottle shops (like Foodery), or the beer distributors and get a case. I give 4 stars for the sandwiches, other items, and beer selection. -1 star for the beer prices. read more

The Foodery - Dad of Diablo - Delis Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I visited the Foodery in NoLibs...and had a sandwich. That for me is as good as it gets. There was a sign at the deli that they had gluten-free flatbread, so I gave it a whirl, and I had an amazing S7-Diablo! I might be a little biased since it has been a while since I ate a deli-quality sandwich like this on flatbread. They get the bread at Reading Terminal, and it was thin - let the sandwich speak for itself instead of taking it over...so good. So here was my Diablo - "buffalo" chicken (not breaded, it was thinly sliced like cold cuts), monterey jack, avocado, green pepper, chipotle mayo. It certainly lived up to its name - it was HOT - but SO GOOD! I got a bag of Dirty Chips and a Half n Half, and I was SET with a delicious and filling lunch just short of $10. It was so good, I inhaled it instantly. Foodery has a unique selection of beers that in this liquor-control state is hard to come by. I will definitely be back for the deli and brewskies! read more

The Foodery - Diablo on gluten-free flatbread - Delis Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The staff are really lovely, sandwiches are amazing, they have a impressive beer selection. German, Belgium, Dutch, plenty of variety of American micro brew, gluten free and ciders. Fantastic read more

Every time I walk into the Foodery, I'm excited by the well stocked beer selection, which I am confident has been handled with care to avoid any possibility of spoiling. Every time I walk out of the Foodery, I feel like I've been robbed in broad daylight in front of a police station. Why did two bottles of Stillwater Ale cost almost TEN DOLLARS more at Foodery than at a competitor (ahem, Food & Friends) across town? I get the convenience factor of the location, and the fact that Foodery started the trend, but come on. Maybe the price gouging works on the clueless but I'll mix my six elsewhere. read more

Wait, what? A place in Philly that sells beer that I don't need a college dude to carry out to my trunk because I'm drinking when I should be working out, and thus not strong enough to lift a case? And not just beer, but BEER...the best selection I've come across in ages. Maybe I am dreaming, but this little corner store is too good to be true. Can someone please explain to me how they can do this and not be shut down in a hot second? Who cares that it's pricy? For realz, I'll get a second job or hock some of my estate jewelry (ha ha) to pay for this nugget of goodness. I am totally in love with the Foodery. Throw in a pizza from Rustica and I am good to go. read more

Great beer selection, good deli, good selection of upscale corner store grocery items, and friendly staff who don't have problems answering questions. That is what you get at the Northern Liberties location. Yeah, it'll cost you an extra buck or two, but I also know of places that are way more expensive, so I'm not gonna complain about the prices. I'm always happy to stop in here and patronize this place... Plus, the last time I was in here, I saw hipsters, yuppies, and hippies all shopping here at the same time. Now if that doesn't prove that this place has magical powers, then I don't know what does... read more

I think they actually have a million beers. Also, really good sandwiches and ridiculous candy & treats. Plus, you can go into the walk-in! But, only if you're a girl and agree to make out with one of the guys that work there, though. (I have not taken them up on that offer) read more

Best place to get take-out beer in the city. They've got way more variety than your usual place, so if you like German, Belgian, local microbrews, etc., this is the place for you. They also let you do a mix-n-match 6 pack, which is awesome. I usually want to buy way more than 6 bottles whenever I go, but I keep myself in check. The only downside is that you can easily spend $40 on a six-pack, depending on what sort of beer you select. Philly would be a sad, sad place without the Foodery... I wish I could live there. read more

Excellent inexpensive sandwiches, amazing beer selection, and a nice mix of convenience store extras (chips, coffee, etc). Staff is friendly and you'll always find a beer nerd to help you there; whether it's one of the staff or a random customer. I'd wholeheartedly recommend a visit with only two caveats: the beer is really expensive, and the deli is slow. So, call ahead for a sandwich, and go to a distributor or Jersey for anything bigger than a sixpack. Otherwise, the Foodery is a great spot. read more

1. Awesome beer selections from around the world. Easy to find, drink on site and people watch. 2. Super knowledgeable dudes will help you find anything you need (or didn't know you needed) if you ask nicely. 3. Plentiful stock of tasty treats! read more

Everytime Ive been here, the staff are super quick to ask if you need any help or need any suggestions. Be ready to talk about beer when you check out too. They cashiers love to hold a convo about your purchases. Very friendly. The selection cant be beat. Its organized very well and the prices are very fair. read more

One cannot make the claim that one is a self-professed Beer Geek/Beer Nerd without having visited the Foodery. Yes, the beer here is marked up anywhere from 120% - 150% like everywhere in Philly thanks to the god-awful alcohol/import restrictions, but if you walk into this place dumb enough to think you're going to walk out of here with a bottle of beer that you can probably find in one of the many distribution centers that only sell alcohol by the case, then you sir or ma'am, are a square. But getting back to business. I spent two days visiting various liquor/bottle stores in NJ and Philly looking for my favorite beer. Buy-rite at Cranbury? Nope. Oak Tree in South Plainfield? Nope. Bottle Bar East? Nope. The Bottle Store? Nope. It all seemed hopeless until I stopped by the Foodery, whom I had called about two days ahead and asked if they carried it, to which they told me: NOPE. So to my amazement, I found my bottle of Brouwerij De Dochter van de Korenaar Embrasse Ardbeg at the Foodery. Four bottles of it, if I may add. I also happened to pay six dollars less than I did the last time I found it in another awesome beer store in Elkridge, MD, who only carried one bottle of it on stock. I was so happy with my purchase, that I went further and picked up two bottles of Dogfish Head 120, Amager Batch One, Firestone Walker Double DBA, Russian River Damnation/Temptation and some Trappiste Rochefort 10 (yeah I know, Rochefort 10 is pretty common now and I overpaid like three dollars/bottle, but that's what you get for being lazy) I also had a brief but enjoyable conversation with one of the beer geeks here, who informed me that they will have some of America's rarest craft brews in stock come April time, save for Pliny the Elder/Younger and the Heady Topper which almost never leaves CA/VT in bottle/canned form: Firestone Walker's Parabola and Founders KBS/CBS is apparently available here on a first-come-first-served basis. So for those of you who don't speak beer: please don't come here and be disappointed that you spent 200 dollars on 18 bottles of beer that you probably could have gotten for cheaper elsewhere. But if you're looking for some place where you can and will get some of the rarest and debatably awesome beers that the "craft beer movement" has unleashed upon America, then bring all your monies and march right on to the Foodery. read more

I agree that the prices there for beer are a bit high... but go to a local bar and buy that micro-brew from Harrisburg and see how much you'll pay. No joke, you'll pay $4 - $6 for a Troegs or Victory at some bar and pay half that at the Foodery. Obviously, beer is marked up at bars because people are willing to pay it but the Foodery, as far as I know, is the only place in town where you can mix-a-six with such a great selection... besides the other Foodery in Old City. In regards to the food, awesome sandwiches. I take friends there all the time to try what they have. Now they go there all of the time. read more

Yes, the selection of beer at the Foodery is unparallelled. They have, pretty much, everything. They have delicious sandwiches and a bevy of other delightful little convenience items. And the staff is cool. The only problem (and the reason this review is 3 and not 5 stars): Get ready for $30 6 packs. YIKES!!! That'll wash that great imported beer taste out of your mouth! read more

The Foodery and I have some sort of weird relationship. It's beer is of a wonderful, varied selection and the food is really good but then you get to the counter and that's where it goes downhill. First, you encounter the dead-eyed dude who rings you up. It's almost as if you personally woke him out of bed, dressed him quickly, drove him to the store and made him ring up your beer order at 3am. That's about how pleasant/attentive most of the help is here. When the attendant does mumble out the price, you may just have the urge to check the paper to see if prohibition was re-enacted and if so agree the rightly justified prices at the Foodery. Trust me, it hasn't. The Foodery just charges an obscene amount for beer that you can get at a distributor for half the price. But that's the price you pay for convenience, selection, and the fact that our state was formed by quakers and maintained by racketeering jerks. read more

Ok, so let me break it down. The Foodery is super sweet because: - it's only two blocks from my house - the Pennsylvania buying cases only crap is so effin' annoying - a 6 pack fits in my fridge and leaves space for groceries (yeah huge stupid case, let me see you do that) - you can mix and match whatever you want and create your own broken 6 - the selection is overwhelming; you could try something new every time you go - the deli is super convenient when you need a quick lunch - it's always super clean The Foodery sucks because: - everything is jacked up in price; you're paying for convenience - the checkout line on a Friday night at 9-10pm can take foreverrrr - the selection is overwhelming; it takes me at least 10 mins to make a decision I'd say the Pros outweigh the Cons. read more

And now I am taking my first dog there. It's beautiful how things change all the time. Me, beer, personnel, opinions.

I stopped in to this bottle house briefly on someone's errands, and it was quite the first experience. I will need to go back and spend about 40 minutes absorbing the situation. Huge selection of unique domestics and rare internationals, varying sizes, plethora of tastes. 800+ bottles such as Russian River and Infinium. Very pricey, though... don't stop in for something you could find somewhere else, because chances are it's way overpriced here. IS recommended for trying something new, or looking for a rare gift. read more

Okay, I've only been once, but I think I'm in love. I could easily spend an hour surveying the cases, reading the names of obscure beers, examining their labels, carefully crafting the perfect six pack. Then I could grab a delicious, inexpensive veggie sandwich and sit down to pass a Saturday afternoon with a friend enjoying good food, good drinks, and some crossword puzzles. Oh wait, that's exactly what I did. I'm not going to complain about the prices- it's worth the money to sample new and exciting beers- but it would be helpful if they were at least posted somewhere, so you had some idea how much that tasty, tasty nectar was going to cost. read more

Ode to a gourmet convenience store: Ahh foodery you wreck me. So many good things, so little money. Indie domestic beers, german beers, belgian beers, in row after row of malted/hoppy goodness. You're sandwiches made fresh on the spot are delightful. Your salsa is hot and spicy. Your chips are natural and delicious. Your ice cream bars are tasty and full of chocolaty/creamy goodness. It is but the bill that is frightful. read more

If I lived in Philly this would definitely be the perfect pre game spot. It's chill, affordable and they have unlimited drinks to choose from. I was pretty basic in my food choice. I got the grilled cheese and fries on the side. I mean there is no way they could mess it up, but MAN it was good! I also had so many cider options that I choose from, their choices aren't only limited to beer. I wish they had one of these in NYC. read more

Ah, the flaws of attraction. Your deep selection of beers from "around the world" first caught my attention. Then I hear of your late hours on Friday and Saturday. Could this place possibly give me yet another reason to visit? I can't balk at their prices because they have a hefty rent factor being nestled right in the heart of the hipster-infused Northern Liberties. After all, if you're looking for cheap drinks you'd go to Jersey. What really gets me about this place is the self-proclaimed "upscale market" classification. Really? You're not in Society Hill people, get over it. Also, why the heck don't you accept AMEX??? The Foodery has a lot going for it. Namely, a selection of individual bottles you can't find anywhere in the city. Unfortunately, I'm taking my business elsewhere. read more

Still the best place to get a deli sandwich, a great beer from the cooler, sit down and have lunch; however, they've jacked the prices a bit and replaced their best beer selection (harvest ales, barley wines, cask conditioned strong ales) with large format 2nd tier micros. The coolers still stretch the length of the store, so you will find something awesome...its just not the bargain of the century it used to be. I still got my sandwich and bottle of Eisbock...come on! read more

Now that I think about it, why is it called "Foodery" when I'm (and most of Philadelphia) only going in there for the beer? Maybe a quick snack too, but only while I wait in line to pay because that's when impulse purchases attack. This Foodery location kicks ass - except its WAAAAAY too far away from my apartment. It's BIG, carries far more beer than their Pine Street location, has a deli counter, and more importantly has tables with chairs where one can sit, talk, and drink. Drink delicious beer amongst fellow beer lovers and then decide its a good idea to buy MORE beer. And drink it. Then get more to bring home, since you also drink beer there. Genius. For whatever reason, only this location has Doc's Draft in stock (WHY?!) so I always get tempted to stock up on that, but they always have plenty of seasonals and rare bottles in stock - including one that I had on draft at Monk's Cafe that's amazing and really hard to find. I won't tell you which one because I want it all for myself :P My only gripe (which is always the same) are PA's stupid laws and the prices that go along with them. Beer is expensive. But I still drink it, so I'm still gonna buy it. But they need to get an electronic version of that price list in there STAT since I couldn't find a bottle listed that I really wanted to try, but not without knowing what kind of financial sacrifice I might've had to make. That bottle is still there...taunting me... read more

If you're looking for sophisticated suds that you can take home to enjoy by your shut-in self, or bring to rescue a party with your heroic, good taste. This is the place. Pros -Truly amazing selection - local, domestic, international, extra-MF'in-terrestrial -DIY Six Packs (or more, really...) Cons -Gets a bit pricey -Sneaky tactics what without putting prices on the individual beers and then you're kind of on the spot when charged with a custom sixer in the $35 range. Buy hey, you've got great taste and don't want anyone to see you sweat with sticker-shock or know the real you is a cheapskate, so you pay up and The Foodery Wins (but so do you because the beer is great). read more

Being close to a friends flat, We ventured here often and I have missed it sense he moved. I love my beer and this place definitely quench my thirst for new tasty goodness. BUT, Im not here to review their 3 towering walls of water, malt, hops, and yeast or their selection of healthy snacks, for what i remember mostly veggietarian. Im here to tell you all about their great sandwich center hidden in the corner, beggin for a second look. These tasty creations are served to U by a very courteous gent. My fav: S2 Maple Honey Turkey & Cream Cheese: sourdough bread with the cucumber crunch and their cold cuts stacked between. These sandwiches tackled my hunger every time. So... Yes, the beer is expensive. Yes, the staff could be way more considerate when asked questions. But if you want a quick stop where you can put down a great beer and fill your belly. The Foodery will never fail. read more

You'll need an adequate amount of time to spare if you're going to stop by The Foodery. I don't know how anyone could walk in and walk out in under 10 minutes. Half the fun is just looking at the labels of bottles from various breweries. I almost found myself choosing my beer based on which ones had the best labels. I've chosen books like that, and it never works out very well. I love any place that offers DIY 6-packs. I also love that their selection is pretty comprehensive, featuring some of the best beers that our city, country, and globe has to offer. The guys behind the counter were friendly and didn't look at me like some damsel in distress when I asked their advice on certain bottles. As previous reviews have stated, if you want to avoid sticker shock, look up the individual beer prices in the manifest or you might find yourself with a hefty bill. I spent $50 on 12 bottles (an assortment of Young's Chocolate Stout, Schneider Weiss, Allagash, Monk's, and Stoudt's). You're sure to be the hit of any party, especially if other people have brought anything closely resembling Bud Light. Me? I prefer to relax and have a night in with my special purchases and a friend or two. I was so enamored with the beer selection that I barely glanced at the rest of the store, so that's on my agenda for next time. read more

There's another great location of this store that's been reviewed on yelp already. I was bumming with some friends in the NoLi's area and stopped in to stock up for an evening of merrimaking. all i can say is that if you enjoy beer for more than just its alcohol content, you MUST check out this place. they have a robust selection of what i would consider "interesting, exotic, and just plain awesome beers from around the world." on top of that, the guys behind the counter were very helpful and knowledgable. even more impressive was the computer for browsing beer lists to find that perfect brew for you, or just get info on any kind of beer you can think of. for the reading public's interest, my mix-a-six contained two magic hats (#9 & fat angel) and four japanese/chinese brews chosen for their totally insane labels (dragons, dancing ladies, etc.) hidden in those four was a buckwheat brew to DIE for. and that's my two cents. read more

Three words: Bottle shop extraordinaire. You like beer. You go out and do your rounds. You sample all the latest seasonal brews or just find something new on tap from one of your favorite breweries, perhaps you've even indulged in a firkin or two along the way. Sometimes you want (need) some of that same sort of goodness at home in your fridge. It is times like those when you need to go to the Foodery. I've frequented both locations. I tend to like the NoLibs one better - it's bigger, offers food and has tables (...and is mere steps from the Standard Tap's door!). However, the 10th Street location is every bit as bountiful and necessary for logistical purposes. Scarcity and quality are dubious things & price is relative. No, this is not the everyman's bottle shop. Realistically, those who appreciate this quality and selection of beer will not be surprised by the prices. There's no place I am happier to spend $30.00 for a six pack. Simply stated, places like the Foodery make Philly a better city. read more

I was very surprised by their craft beer selection while visiting the city for a weekend from NYC. Most of the cans and bottles here are unheard of back home, and I enjoyed trying these beers that were new to me. Rivals any bottle shop in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Cheers! read more

The Foodery is like that snobby waiter with an arrogant ego but you still feel the need to figure out.. Pricey. Very pricey. Yet, they DO in fact have a rather fabulous beer selection..although it seems the magic number here is $10..how does anything I end up purchasing equal $10? Again..like that arrogant waiter..this place is ridiculously overpriced..but it's still just so COOL! read more

Be prepared to feel like a kid in a candy store! I come here every once in awhile, and am always overwhelmed by their selection. A mixed six packed or two can make for a great evening. (And present, I bought one for my roommate's boyfriend's bday one year.) Staff is friendly and helpful, and they do have a deli for light food. Note, they do not post prices on the beers, or in the fridge--you must look it up in the manifest, so you may be surprised at the price when you get to the register. --Just put one back or swap it out for something cheaper ;) read more

As other users said this is an UPSCALE corner store/deli. They have a great concept for buying beer in PA and their selection is unmatched in the city. Don't go in here trying to find a bargain though, a 6 pack of hand chosen beer can cost anywhere from $15-$30. They have a deli stocked with Boar's Head meats and a small selection of pre-packed goods, Asian candies , chips, and other small snacks. Overall this is a great place to find a good bottle of beer, but just be ready to spend a few $$$. read more
