Stopped by for the first time in... 5-6 years recently to buy 1 thing and ended up spending $90 and was totally impressed with how the market had changed. I stopped in after searching for Hop Water and saw on the Hop Water website the Good Life Market sold it. I arrived about a half hour before close so I was one of few customers and ended up buying a ton and wanting more. First, I found a 4 pack of beer that had JUST been released in Burlington VT and then Portland ME (collaboration beer) and immediately grabbed it. Absolute score! I was super impressed with the beer selection, both refrigeratorated and on the shelf, plus N/A options, hop waters, mixers, you name it. Before I even made it to the beer section I was drawn to the prepared food because I was hungry and knew I would have to prepare something when I got home. I got smoked ribs (probably a half rack) for $11.99, Cole slaw and a broccoli bacon salad. They had multiple refrigerators and freezers with everything you can imagine, frozen Slab pizza, health drinks, locals meats, local ice cream, etc. I noticed a huge wall of local coffee so I will be going back to hopefully find espresso beans, which are challenging to come by. I didn't notice inside seats but that would be a good addition. For the ribs, I wrapped them in foil and baked at 350 for 20-30 minutes. I was so happy to find real food, prepped for easy reheating. I will definitely be back with my husband to order sandwiches and pick up more goodies. read more

I am fortunate to live within walking distance from this lovely market. I've gotten many good products from them and realized that I haven't posted any reviews yet. Employees here are always friendly. Their food is always well-made and is of excellent quality. Prices are a bit on the high end hence the 4 stars. Pictured here is their Hometown Chef Salad and The Good Life Club. My stepson and I ended up sharing as the portions are huge. We even got 3 servings out of the salad. These two items are highly recommended. This market also has some fresh produce, several cheese options, interesting snacks and pantry items. Stop by and support local whenever you can! read more

A market that has a great selection but is super expensive!!! I wanted a small broccoli raisin salad - maybe 4 - 6 oz but it was close to $10. I was hangry so I got a Ruben and a fancy iced tea. Sandwich was very tasty, and definitely sated my appetite. Likely a great place for the out-of-state tourists that are heading up 302, or the summer people with houses on Sebago Lake, but for me, the place is too expensive for many of the items offered. read more

Oopsie! Made a booboo with the rating. My fat finger pressed the wrong place. I meant to give this place 5 stars. Loved the place and the selections. Will come back for sure when I visit Maine! read more

Great food that is always fresh!!! My only complaint is at times I've purchased a pie the crust seems to be overcooked. Other adults at my home have said the same thing. read more

Great salad, sandwiches and sweets for dessert. The chips were delicious. The bonus was a hot tip on where to have a picnic in the area. Great views! read more

We love the Good Life ... the sandwiches (so many faves) ... and great (if upscale) groceries and local foods and other products. Highly recommend! read more

Service to the customers. Assistance in finding product. Assistance in physically reaching a product. Knowledge about your products answering questions when someone's looking for a specific product.. None of that was offered, and when asked if I could inquire represented with the high school student who was just there unpacking stuff when I needed someone knowledgeable about the store. Apparently they don't need customers and good for them if they don't because they just lost a potential one. read more

It had been a while since I stopped by The Good Life Market for lunch. Disappointment greeted me as the Market no longer makes sandwiches to order. All sandwiches are pre-prepared. The pre-prepared sandwich I chose (Roast Beef) was okay. It would have been much better freshly prepared. The Market offers outdoor seating on its porch, at picnic table under cover, and they also have Adirondack chair seating. It is a wonderful market, and I hope they go back to making sandwiches to order. read more

I just moved to the area from Freeport, ME and wanted to try it out. Very nice selection of prepared food and wine. I asked to order a breakfast sandwich and the woman explained they just place them in the heat box as they're made which is fine. I l felt really embarrassed when one of the other women working was frustrated with me for asking and said "you can't order one unless it's gluten free. They come out as they're made". There was a gentleman working who could tell I was embarrassed and he asked what kind of sandwich I was looking for. I appreciated him asking. Felt very embarrassed and walked out with my tail between my legs, I don't see myself going back. read more

This place is really taken for granted but I always buy #5 Hazelnut whole bean. The quality of their coffee is really remarkable; I must special order #5 Hazelnut Whole bean but it's great. They always have for me by Thursday am they roast and pack on Wednesday. Excellent service and the food inside is really fresh. read more

I absolutely love the food here, I have tried the sandwiches, pasta salads and always grab a piece of that homemade fudge at checkout. Great service and vibe! read more

A stop by this busy corner shop will offer fresh made deli sandwiches, grab n go meals, freshly baked goods,, as well as a surprising collection of very unique wines, beers, and grocery items! This one is a MUST TRY - Unique and yummy! read more

We really enjoyed the wonderfully curated selection of products, produce and house made breakfast sandwiches and pies. Thank you!

I am very #blessed to live very close to this market. They ALWAYS have what I need, which is impressive for a small market that is 50% beer and booze* *most of what I buy is beer and booze The sandwiches are SO good, I love their coffee and all the little snacks. They have locally sourced produce and meats and just quality snack items all over. It's a great place to take visitors to grab some snacks and drinks. The ONNLLLY thing I wish was that they had extended hours in the summers or weekends. read more

Great selection of good food. Hot & cold drinks Helpful staff. Clean restrooms. Always a good stop here.

Best selection of local foods, beer, wine, produce, cheese. They also make really amazing breakfast sandwiches, and to go pasta salads. Definitely recommend this place on the way to Sebago ! read more

Incredible food, service and atmosphere! The store is filled with quality items. We absolutely love the wine selection.

good things for a good deal more. arrogant approach to retail in abundance here. fantastic selections, clunky checkout experience. they could fix this but they don't really seem to care or lookup from the cash box. everything is greatly overpriced, but once again when people will pay what ever they slap on for a price why not! can't wait until there's some healthy competition to make them honest and nicer to the public. hope they pay their workers well. they are definitely raking it in. read more

Best Reuben ive ever had. Awesome selection of beer and other groceries. Would love to try other things on their menu.

Unique and tasty sandwiches. Plenty of good sides too. They have a great wine selection too. read more

Food always fresh and tasty, good variety and value. Hot food to take home is excellent as well.

They make some great sandwiches and salads. Easily one of the best sandwich places in the area. If you are in the area try and stop in. They also sell some unique items like edible cookie dough from the Cookie Dough Cafe read more

I used to really like The Good Life Market. Not so much now because of their grab n go set up. Sandwiches do not taste as fresh, you can't get them prepared how you'd prefer them. It used to be much better. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Really great selection, just a bit pricey. If you need a nice bottle of wine they will have it! read more

Creative high quality sandwiches, salads, soups, dinner entrees and more. Not to mention weekly sandwich specials as well as Good Life's own Swift River Roasters coffee where you can buy specialty coffee drinks, drip coffee and bagged coffee for your own home that's freshly roasted. Don't be afraid to look around the store for many local, organic products ranging from fresh produce, cheeses, poultry and meats and more! Wide variety of wines and liquors that are hard to find other places. read more

Love this place! Great sandwiches, nice selection of specialty foods and beer. Highly recommend.

I have always loved the good life. My go to for a delicious sandwich in the Windham area. My favorite is the summer in italy grilled. My bf goes for the good life club. We crave these sandwiches!! Local breads, always fresh ingredients. Definitely check this spot out read more

The food is outstanding, sandwiches and salads extraordinary and creative, great pies, and the wine selection is fabulous. Simply love this place for so many reasons! read more

I've been coming here every summer for YEARS and it's been amazingly consistent. I think it's a bit pricey and I don't hand out 5 stars easily, but I'd give this 4.5 if I could. In addition to sandwiches and other lunch items (always yummy!) they sell pies and other baked goods baked on site or locally, and they have a nice selection of beer, wine, etc, AND a decent selection of grocery items including produce and a GF section... Pick up a baguette, some pâté and cheese, some fruit and a bottle of wine- voila, a picnic! read more

Oh, and I forgot. They did a fabulous job with food for our wedding in 2008 (~40 people).

Everything here is so good. Many in the area make the morning pilgrimage for the breakfast sandwiches. For quite some time I did the classic, though last year switched to the breakfast club (saw this on the specials board once) and now get it every time - bacon, egg, cheddar, tomato, garlic mayo (fab, and bonus makes your breath smell great when combined with morning coffee), and lettuce - breakfast perfection. Their chicken, rice, cashew salad is excellent (as is their regular chicken salad, which I only got to try after I accidentally ordered a tub of it instead of the chicken/rice), as is their pesto pasta salad with peas. Lunch sandwiches have never disappointed - most recently tried the D'Attolico's - a spruced up tomato/mozz/pesto, which was delish. And the pies!! Mixed berry is the crowd favorite though I love their peach pecan. Pretty deep beer and wine selection too, and a small area with canned foods, sauces, dips, etc for all of your cooking needs. Service occasionally gets backed up and overwhelmed in busy times due to the tsunami of morning customers, but usually they do a nice and courteous job. Bummer during my last visit was that they ran out of iced coffee and cold brew. read more

Simply an excellent place to get breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Their breakfast sandwich is versatile, so tasty and very well priced (under $5), and their coffee options are great. When I come here for a sandwich I usually buy a prepared food item (or three) from the deli, such as Chicken Pie, Beetroot Salad, Mac 'n' Cheese, etc, which is always delicious. If it's a lunch sandwich I'm after, it's a "choices, choices, choices" decision between The Godmother (see picture of Shrimp panini - heavenly), Horsin' Around, or the Classic Reuben. They pile the ingredients into their sandwiches and you can taste each and every one perfectly! The cold sandwiches are just as good as the hot ones, too. The grocery store provides a convenient means to accessing local and organic foods, without the trip to Portland, even boasting a broad and unique selection of top-shelf Scotches, whiskeys, cigars, fine wines, beer and liquor. Everything in this store is well worth the visit and staff are friendly and polite - the only reason I leave this review with 1 star shy of 5 is due to the customer service of one individual. She may be the owner, or tenured staff member as she's always there, but has little personality and seemingly afraid to crack a smile at customers. This shouldn't overshadow the quality of The Good Life Market, though, because they're a real-deal local business that must be checked out! read more

The Good Life Market - The Godmother... wow! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Raymond, Maine

I almost never give a negative review. Having said that, my husband and I have been stopping in to The Good Life Market for years to grab sandwiches on our trips to the lakes region. The sandwiches have always been top notch. We traveled to Sebago Lake Park and stopped in for a couple sandwiches to enjoy at the park. I ordered the " Better BLT" as I have in the past and my husband ordered the chicken salad wrap, both came with blue cheese. Yay us right? Not so much. We get to the park and start to eat our sandwiches and I swear to God we both said to each other at the same time., " There is way too much blue cheese". Neither one of us enjoyed our sandwich and i could scrape some of the blue cheese off my sandwich. My husbands was mixed in the chicken salad. When ordering a chicken salad with blue cheese, one would think there would be a hint of blue cheese, not a blue cheese sandwich with a hint of chicken. read more

As far as I'm concerned, this place is the saving grace of the region, food wise. Though the prices are sometimes steep (I could never afford to grocery shop here, for example), the sandwiches, soups, sides and coffee are all superb. Really, the best I've found in Maine. I rave a lot about The Baker's Bench in Westbrook. Nowhere else can you get a large sandwich on homemade bread for $6.25. And they will always be high on my list, when I want something simple and hearty. But The Good Life offers far more selection, a gourmet flourish and a better dining experience, should you choose to eat your food here. The staff are also friendly and energetic, which is always a huge plus. For what it's worth, the Club sandwich may be the last thing you ever order here (it's really fantastic), so, if you want to try a few things on the menu, go for them first. And I have never gone wrong ordering their soup. If I could afford it, and lived closer, I would eat here every day of my life. read more

Wow! It's been a hot minute since I have written a review. This awesome business seems to be a "Good" start again. I have so many nice things to say about The Good life Market. The food is really good with some different delicious twists on the sandwiches. The better BLT is sooo good! You won't be disappointed. Moving on here, this is a great store too. You can buy items, from a great cheese selection, local veggies, adult beverages, a great selection of local meat and so much more. I honestly only ever heard about the sandwiches. If you're ever in Raymond, Maine headed to any of the local lakes you should stop It's on the corner of 302 and 85. You might want to call ahead for Covid policy. read more
