Market At Highlandtown

This place reminds me of the supermarkets my mom took us to, when we were tight on money. What I like about this market is that it has an IGA-​type feel. While inventory is not deep, their selection of what you might be looking for is fairly reasonable. Their prices can be par or downright cheap. What I like is that they obviously serve their local market by stocking ethnic items that locals may be looking for.
They had an off-​duty cop chase after a shoplifting culprit while I was there — They also have pictures of the apprehended red-​handed thieves as a deterrent… and if you catch my drift… that might be indicative of some of the clientele that roams here.
Parking is not really all that great, hit or miss depending on how busy they are when you get there — but at least its free!

I discovered this store while on my way to my physical therapist’s office. This store is very nice. I picked up a bottle of safflower oil along with a jar of coconut oil. Both of reasonably priced.
Instead of getting my somewhat rare cooking oils from Whole Foods, I’ll be buying them from this store whenever possible.

Small stores often give the impression that they will be expensive, these guys prove you wrong at every turn, Meat is all Black Angus at the same price as Wal-Mart’s, low quality offerings, We eat less meat these days so I wat it to be the best I can get. You will find it here. It is also a great place for anyone who cooks, many international spices, ingredients and much more selection that you will find in most stores. Only giviing it 4 stars as it could use a paint job on the walls but overall a good friendly shopping experinece.

deli staff very ignorant
when standing in line as only customer then another shows up because I did not pull ticket was told there first after I been standing there
HOW RUDE!
of course they don’t wear name name tags!

This store boast a very convenient location though depending on time of day parking can be challenging. This market in my opinion truly represents the local people through it’s selection of international products. The staff is always friendly and prices are competitive even when judged against wal-​mart.

Awful produce selection. Came here because of the Unilocal reviews but left without anything :(

The store and parking lot are smaller compared to other stores, but the store’s selections and prices make up for it. They have a large international food section. Produce and meats are cheaply priced! You can’t always go by the prices in their sales paper because they tend to have items priced even cheaper, so it’s best to look around so you don’t miss deals. If you ask an employee for help finding something they’re usually quick to drop what they’re doing to assist you, which is nice. If all of their registers aren’t open and they start to get long lines they open up additional registers to get customers out quick, unlike Safeway with their 2 registers all day. This market also has a coffee stand inside which has great coffee provided from High Grounds which is up Eastern Avenue. Also their drinks are cheaper than Starbucks, and taste better in my opinion! This store does get crowded and busy a lot, but they usually keep everything stocked up.

This store at first seems like a last-​resort kind of grocery store, but it actually has a great international section, has affordable prices for good quality products. I was particularly impressed with their cheap prices for their meats.

Highlandtown market is not a chain grocery store. It is very unique. The owner is usually there pitching in doing whatever is needed and the team spirit among the staff is quite extraordinary. It is clear that staff are happy with their jobs and are happy to help customers in any way the can. Most of the food is way less expensive than Safefway.
The variety and quality of the ethnic food cannot be beat and many languages are spoken in the market at Highlandtown. I’m so glad I found this market.

Excellent supermarket with fantastic prices. Friendly staff and good selection, although sometimes not well-​stocked. GREAT international selection. My husband is from Brazil and we couldn’t believe some of the things we found there! However, do not expect an upscale supermarket.

This is my new favorite grocery store in Baltimore. It’s convienient because it’s on my side of town. Parking can be limited and tight but there’s always space if you want to park across the street in the free parking garage. This place is great for ethnic foods. Latino/​Middle Eastern/​Indian. You’d be surprised at what you can find here. Meat section is not the best but the produce is great. If you like to explore and try new things then you might like this place. There seems to be something for everybody.
Oh, and just today the market at Highlandtown was City Paper’s Best of Baltimore 2011 for best grocery store. Holler at it, Hon!

Another convenient supermarket in east Baltimore. The produce was good and cheap (just the way I like it!) and I was really surprised by the 2/​$ 5 deal they had on a bunch of Post, Kellogg’s, and General Mills cereals. There is also a serious Arabic/​Middle Eastern section on the far left side, so if you need to get your Halva fix, there are about 10 types from which to choose.

No glitz nor glamor here — The Market at Highlandtown is a bottom dollar stop for all the basics. The produce is cheap, as is the meat. The selection is somewhat limited for many items (especially compared to chain supermarkets) though there are a lot of Latino/​Hispanic products. We typically shop here when we’re looking to make a quick shopping trip and want to stay close to home. You won’t find any yuppies or socialites here!
