South Loop Market

This place is very close to work and is convenient to grab a sandwich and a snack for lunch or dinner.
Their sandwiches are decent, especially the Hibas panini and the Sams Italian. It seems that there is a bit of a lack of consistency though as one worker might make the sandwich differently than another employee.
My biggest complaint right now is that albeit today is Easter Sunday, I specifically called the business at 5:00 to ask how late their deli would be open, knowing they always close their deli an hour before close of business. The employee said the answer to my question is 8:00 pm. I arrived at 7:10 and found a closed deli.
I’ll be back to this place, as it’s convenient, just apparently not reliable.

There seems to be some confusion on Unilocal in the Financial District as to what a grocery store is. There are 5 listed within .5 miles but when you get to them (the others) you find out that it’s just a convenience store. Doing my best to fix this by editing the categories.
This is a grocery store. Has a full deli with Boars Head meats and they make sandwiches with a few seats. Also has fresh produce, milk, eggs, orange juice, Apple juice, local lemonade in glass jugs (for $ 2, what?), comprehensive yet overpriced wines and impressive and overpriced craft beers. Canned foods, frozen dinners (way, way overpriced), liquor, cigars and a somewhat friendly staff that acted like they knew where Frontera Grill is (fake niceness).
Closest real grocery store in the Financial District aka Printers Row.

Owners are extremely friendly and always hook up loyal customers. Great selection of craft/​artisan goods. Been coming here regularly for 3 years, no complaints. Price is what price should be for a place in downtown Chicago. It’s not Walmart and some people may complain because they are confused by that.

The Good: Good selection of almost anything you’d need in a pinch in the loop. Decent selection of frozen entrees, snacks, meals on the go, and liquor (probably their best quality since nobody else in the area is open for last-​minute happy hour goods). Decently friendly staff who will help you if you ask them.
The Bad: It’s overpriced of course. What «convenience» store isn’t? Apparently there is a $ 5 minimum on credit/​debit purchases. Might be great to display that somewhere so patrons can plan for that little surprise before being «informed» by the staff.
The Ugly: Prices are not always as they seem. I have been charged a different price at the register than was advertised with the product on multiple occasions. The first time it happened I re-​checked the price and when it was as I remembered I informed the cashier who «gave it to me this time» (thanks for the favor?). A second time, the drink didn’t ring up so the cashier keyed in the price which was 21 cents more than advertised on the shelf. No, 21 cents is not a huge problem. But I deserve to pay what’s advertised on the shelf! I asked the cashier why they have this issue so often and he stated that sometimes they move products around and don’t change the prices. Um, is this my issue or yours?
Overall, decent selection and typically friendly staff. But I will do my best to go elsewhere due to pricing and scanner scamming.

I’m really split on this place.
On one hand, it’s a very nicely crafted, small grocery that has things like artisan pasta sauce and Intelligentsia coffe. Great spot to stop for a deli sandwich made-​to-​order or grab a decent bottle of wine on the way home. Sometimes when I’m panicked with what to make for dinner, I can swing by here and get some ingredients and then don’t have to make a full-​on grocery run.
On the other hand, this place is pretty expensive. Some items are easily twice as much as you’d find elsewhere. Obviously they’re taking advantage of the convenience factor, but it’s almost criminal to charge so much for some of this stuff. Also, the staff is not friendly. On my last visit, the two cashiers were borderline hostile. Sheesh. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

It is a nice store with a really good selection of groceries, deli, food, beer and wine. However, most of the prices are insane here. I realize they are the only real store in the area, especially at night and probably have a high rent, and the mark-​up on their products reflects this. They have a really nice craft beer selection, but for example the New Holland beer I usually get at Binny’s for $ 5.99, I just got charged $ 10.60 with tax! Seriously? If you need basic grocery items like snacks, milk, canned goods etc. during the day, walk a couple of blocks over to CVS or Walgreen and save yourself a ton of money for the same items.

The Boars Head deli is great! Today I tried the Hiba’s Panini which is a spicy sandwich with chicken and pastrami, it was delicious! Highly recommended!

A nice neighborhood market with a huge selection of liquors, some fresh fruits and veggies, and even poultry. Definitely very expensive, but very convenient, too.

This place has it all; a great selection of beer and wine, delicious fresh salads and deli sandwiches, and friendly staff. This market is a great addition to Van Buren St. The store is always clean and fully stocked with anything and everything you can ever want.

This place it the ba-​zomb.
Yeah, things may be a bit more expensive than many groceries, but truly, you’re paying for not only super-​tasty food stuffs, but the convenience of a fantastic, eclectic grocery in the upper South Loop, placed in what overall, is pretty much nothing more than a M-​F business district where during the weekend, is very little more than a relative ghost town, these guys are open and they know what they’re doing.
While the South Loop Market on Van Buren isn’t enormous, they have a relatively small, but ecletcic selection of not junk Kraft Mac & Cheese, but plenty of ethnic spices and seasonings, and not solely «American» 7-​Eleven products, which usually seem to be the main option for people who live in the South Loop.
Their deli counter, while again, a little small, has wonderfully fresh meats and cheeses.
Plus, a they have a knowledgeable selection of beers and wines.
The Market is located in the first floor of a high rise where truly, most everything for all surrounding blocks is often closed down from like, 7pm on Fridays, until maybe 8am Mondays.
If you are a downtown South (ish) Loop dweller, these guys are a beacon of hope. They aren’t ²⁴⁄₇ or anything, but they are plenty to get you through that weekend where you wanted to make something lovely for dinner, or just happened to forgot to pick some extra cat litter or whatnot.
And of the three times I visited, every employee I interacted with was very friendly.
Love them lots. I hope they keep in business for a long, long time.

Great people and great place.

Fantastic deli. Boar’s head meat, other ingredients are high quality too. Not super expensive, maybe $ 7.50 a sandwich. I got the two wise men (turkey and chicken), and loved it. I hear the salads are money, planning on trying the whole menu eventually.

The service is great, very friendly and helpful. The wine selection is very good with a range of wines from $ 7 — $ 25. The grocery item selection is great as well. I’ve hardly gone in there and not found what I was looking for. The grocery prices can be pretty steep, but you can’t beat the convenience.

This is a great addition to the growing loop neighborhood. I love being able to pick up essentials without leaving the building!
They also have a great a deli and wine selection.

Big fan of the South Loop Market on S. Michigan, so I’m happy to see another location. Clean and well organized store — plus the deli is amazing!

this is a new grocery opened yesterday in our building on 235 w van buren. I think they also call their business 235 w van buren grocery.
