2025 Best Specialty Grocery Store

Euro Market

As the name might suggest, this small grocer focuses on items from Europe, whether you’re looking for jars of Balkan-style grilled eggplant, an unbelievable variety of cheeses (including more brands of feta than we knew existed), the Romanian vegetable spread Zacuscă, or a bevy of cured meats. Plus, there’s an extensive olive bar (no sampling!) and freshly made spanakopita and baklava as well as a Canadian bacon breakfast sandwich that’s much better than it needs to be. Read More »

(Hello, coconut bacon and fig salami!) The South Philly grocer is more than a tiny wonderland of meatless products; it’s also a gateway into that more-considered life you’ve been putting off, figuring it was going to be too “inconvenient.” Check and mate.

2014 Best Organic Grocery Shopping Experience

MOM’s Organic Market

Loading your cart with certified organic goods is easy at this new Bryn Mawr grocer: All of its produce is organic, and a majority of what you find on shelves is organic, too. And unlike certain not-to-be-named, space-crunched city grocery stores whose chaotically tight aisles lodge you in bumper-to-bumper cart traffic, the aisles at MOM's are gloriously, sublimely wide. It's no wonder city dwellers are happily making the trek. Read More »
