Reviews

Love this store, I know you will too. They have everything you need and more. Plus the owner and workers are very friendly and helpful!

Awesome corner store, huge beer selection. The food selection is a little limited but does have a bunch of interesting items. It is a little overpriced for sure but so convenient I am willing to pay.

They have varieties of things, especially snacks. Loved their atmosphere too

10 dollar minimum on DEBIT card purchases. If you accept visa you can't impose a minimum on DEBIT cards. This merchant has been reported to visa and I recommend all else do the same if he has not changed his policy. 10 dollar minimum on credit cards is allowed as long as the minimum is applied to all card companies. But applying a minimum to visa debit if you take Visa is not allowed.

lots of different beer and wine bottles too. and I’m always surprised at the variety of groceries like sandwich, watermelon, even kimch!

I’ve been coming here a lot over the past two years since it is so convenient and close to my home, and always knew I was getting a bit ripped off with the prices. But 11 dollars for a 6 pack of Narraganset, while high, is only a few dollars and frankly I’m paying for the convenience. However, unless they double scanned my item and I was too stupid to check (very likely), they’re selling 6 packs of Yards Pale Ales for 25 dollars. That is ridiculous. I am moving out of the area so I can unfortunately say I will be glad to be blowing less of my money on this place.

Great selection of food and drinks. Great sandwiches!



Terrible customer service I work and I am unable to leave my work I brought a hoagie large hoagie for $10 they say they weigh the meat I haven’t eaten the sandwich because I got it for my lunch I offered to keep it and called them and told them I wouldn’t mind bringing it in because I paid $10 for a hoagie that has no meat on it Im very disappointed they told me even if I bring the hoagie back they can’t give me my money I could’ve went to a corner store got a better hoagie for less money I’m furious and can’t leave work it’s literally they put the tiny bit of meat on the top

Thank you for always offering delicious healthy food options in “food sea” full of pizzas, burgers,
pastries, and hot dogs. Always met with kindness in the store 🫶🏾

Apparently the owner doesn’t know the difference between credit card and debit card. Because his idiotic rule says:10$ CREDIT CARD minimum but he impolitely refused to take a DEBIT CARD.

Nice staff, but Stone Cold Rip-Off Prices. Good to go to if absolutely in need without planning ahead. Example Acme on South St Angry Orchard Rose is 13 and change while With the 20% discount for a 6 pack of same variety at Foodery is over $18 dollars. That is consumer thievery!

Food is always good. Wraps and hoagie are my go to and the meat has always been good.
The customers are absolutely the worst. Some old head was blasting Led Zeppelin on his phone cause there was people talking around him. Really weird, but this is probably the least aggressive thing thatll happen in your trip to Philly.

Every person behind the counter power trips for no reason. Wacky crowd, expensive beer. Great for late night runs only.

Convenient corner store. Sandwiches made fresh and delicious upon demand, bottles and jugs of water always in stock. I love Olde City Food Market!

I've been going here for one full year now. The fastest and the best service. The only place I get a breakfast sandwich from, almost every day. Love the staff and everything is always clean and organized. Five stars.

Great hoagies, reasonable prices, and fast service. I go at least once a week and can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. 10/10 would recommend

Their sandwiches are very good & the service is even better.... I give it two thumbs up

I live right around the corner from this place. For me, It is very convenient. You cannot beat their sandwiches and other items you can get at the deli. Delicious and fresh! The sandwich prices are great! Some of the other items are a bit over priced, but so are all the other small markets. I love Jean, she is the cutest!! Always smiling, always friendly, always says good morning!

Total ripoff artists...charging 2.5 times the price for the same beer in the burbs. Sorry but the price differential for 'city living' is not that much.
Great selection but your taking it in the butt. Some people like it that way but not when it comes to beer

Overpriced. They need to offer a better discount for a 6 pack. I ended up paying 23 dollars for some ordinary lager bottles. Also the fact that they don’t list the price of each item doesn’t help….

I work next door and I don't know what I would do without them. Sandwiches are good and reasonably priced, and they have a large selection of drinks. I always get a "hello" and a smile from the staff.


Great spot for lunch.
I love their BLT on sourdough toast. There is a wide selection on an easy to use menu board system.

Not quite up to par with the old Rittenhouse location. It's on me for not checking beforehand, but I thought this spot would have made to order food & space to sit down. This location is more bottleshop/deli, like their place in Chestnut Hill. 30 bucks got me a deli sandwich, chips, and 6 beers. Wasn't clear that the beers would be charged individually rather than as one pick-6, and you could probably do better price wise for the cape mays and victory beers I got. Nothing against the joint, but I'll stick to getting my beer from the grocery store.

This is the best spot to get a hoagie in old city! I come here all the time for a quick, affordable lunch and it tastes better (and fresher) than some of the sit-down restaurants nearby... Highly recommend
also they get bonus points for having a unique craft soda collection and friendly staff :)

Good selection of imports and other beers. Also good convenience store with snacks And a deli.



We visited Old Nelson Food Market on JFK recently to get two paninis. In the store, they have an easy-to-use touch screen ordering system allowing you to customize your order prior to finalizing. We got the P-18 Chipotle Chicken and P6-Grilled Chicken with Mozzarella swapped in for the Parmesan. Both were well made and hit the spot. In addition to the deli, the location also features a decent size market and has a few tables if you choose to dine in.

A well stocked convenience store that carries your essential groceries, a vast range of beer including crafts and imports, and run by a nice family. The owner is a good man and the daughter who helps out is very warm and friendly. She’s always willing to help you find what you need or answer any questions you have about the merchandise. You can’t find better service from a store like this, elsewhere!


I live part time in the Sterling on top of old Nelson. I look forward to having a sandwich when I am back in Philadelphia. I was disappointed tonight and I just think they should know. I wanted to contact them directly but I saw no way to do that. I bit into something hard and gross. Yuck! Come on guys!?!?!?! Really? Would you like these in your sandwich?

Can get the same beer somewhere else for half the price. And the guy working behind the counter was incredibly rude. I got a 6 pack of mix and match beer that came up as $60 so I asked him “maybe by mistake did you charge me for the 4 pack price of these beers” and he attacked me, because the same beers I get at different liquor stores are 2.99 per can there it was 10-15 per can. Such a scam. NEVER GOING BACK.

I love this place. I am a vegetarian and alot of places don't consider that us vegetarian eat more than lettuce.
At Monde it take out with deli sandwiches a corner store feel and if you want a beer with your sandwiches they have a large selection with cool names.
You order on one of those tablets and then pay and wait for your over flowing sandwiches. I get a plant based turkey hoagie with hot pepper seeds and I swear I'm eating a Italian hoagie.
THEIR sandwich is so good I can't stop eating them. 💜

I've lived across the street from this place for 3 years and for 3 years I've been blessed with amazing service, great hoagies, and convenient access to a wide selection of beers and other crafts. However, it's the staff here that makes this place stand apart from the rest. They're very kind, easy to talk to, and good natured people. Every time I walked into their store, I was met with a smile and a greeting. While I'm excited to move to my new neighborhood, I'm going to miss having Monde Market in my life!

I love this place. They have great choices of beer at reasonable price. I just wish they open until a little later than 10pm on Fridays or weekends.. Craving some beer now and it's now past 10pm and they are closed! :'(

Decent selection (for Philadelphia, worst selection than your average liquor store in small towns in the Midwest) but the beer is more expensive that getting a pint of the same exact beer at a pub. It’s just insanely expensive. At least offer a few cheap options.


I come here two or three times a week at least for lunch. It's a nice little store and friendly people, but knocking off two stars for the bad packaging. I'm sitting down to eat sandwich & this big, ugly single-use plastic is what I got. This very easily could be put into a paper bag which would be easier to carry than this awkward container

They have vegetarian meat options and that really makes them stand out. The service is always fast and the food is always good. Plus, they have a pretty large selection of beers and coolers. A perfect little neighborhood spot.

Best store in the city , great peoples

I don't think I could have gotten through the past year without Monde. The staff are so helpful and kind, the store is so clean and well stocked, and their beer selection is unreal (also, they mostly sell singles!) They have delicious and affordable hoagies as well as every household item I've ever run out of last-minute. Thanks for everything y'all do! If there were a fan club, I would run for VP.

Good dudes, good selection; they run a *business* that sells good beer later than most in the area. If that's what you want, there's nothing to be upset about here. Totally better than anything within 6-7 blocks after 10PM. Also no creeps asking for cash outside.

I love Monde. Fantastic selection of beers. Probably the best in the Rittenhouse/Center City area. Craft, imported, domestic, pretty much whatever you like in pints, mix and match six packs, even some 12 packs. Decent prices for the area, too.
They also have a great menu of deli sandwiches with good prices. Perfect for that Friday night when you're on your way home from work and just want to relax with a beer and a sandwich to start your weekend.

Firstly, don't expect a cheap couple of beers here. Building your own six pack can be quite costly. But, and this is a good but, the selection you're offered is quite good for such a small shop.
Looking for a 12 pack of bud or yuengling? They've got that too! Want some snacks to go with your brews? You're in luck. Something sweet? Look no further.
I went in pretty late, close to closing, and the associate was polite and helpful.
