The Wheat Market

I have been going to this Delicatessen for quite a few years, so long I can’t even put a number on it!
I went over the weekend with my wife. We got there ahead of a small rush and if you are familiar with the place you order over the top of the soups lol and they ask if for there or to go.
We said it was for there and were nicely directed to go find a drink and a seat and they would be right with us. Perfect! :/​
So in came I would guess around 15 people or so and some were take out and others for the tables. Watched many get served and our food was Mia
Beautiful Saturday I can find better things to do but wait there. So we asked and we were told they (sandwiches) were sitting there to the side and thought to be for take out and would bring it right over. Ok no problem.
We had our sandwiches and the guy apologized that brought them over, thank you no problem.
One complaint I have had all these years is the rolls, they always seem stale and dried out, I’m afraid to know how old or why so dry. The sandwich itself was fine if it only could be fresher rolls or bread.
So here’s the ticker, the lady that helped us and took our order comes over with an oatmeal cookie, wow super nice thank you but not necessary, she insisted. So we go to pay as we are leaving and the owner that has a bit of a chip on his shoulder is checking us out and asked what we had so we told and then comes the bullshit… A cookie??? Umm yea the lady brought it over and she interjects and says nicely that she gave it to us and it was on her. (Let’s get clear the years and dollars and referrals I have sent this place) the pompous man turns around and says to her free??? Meantime I’m offering to pay for the shitbox cookie. She said it again and said yes for free and his answer?
Wellllll THAT WASNT OUR FAULT!!!
Are you kidding me? Luckily for you o wasn’t ready to let it rip and give you an earful that it was an accident and we overlooked it and didn’t bitch but your total lack of class was disgusting and I won’t be spending another dollar at your estsblishment.
I agree with others, the place is lacking and set up like someone’s old basement filled with junk.
You get what you give? Hmm
Good riddance with your attitude!

This place has been a Chester favorite for many years. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The food is always great, from the sandwiches to the prepared food. Their catering services are also excellent. All in all, a class act, and well run restaurant.

Wonderful quaint little place with fabulous food and service. Must stop!

NOMS! I adore this place.
Tucked away in the cutest little town of Chester, this joint has the most delightful lunch specials and sandwiches. Meatloaf, Mac and Cheese or a simple Turkey and Swiss.
Attention to detail is key here: the mustard on a sandwich is always spread evenly, things like that make a big difference.
Big selection of kid candy if you are into that, or baked good as well.
Even when super busy they are courteous and friendly.
Casual, order at the counter and food is delivered.

Disappointing, somewhat disheveled deli tucked behind the main drag in Chester. Service was friendly but the layout is not conducive to a great experience. The place is somewhat chaotically put together, not in a fun eclectic sort of way, but rather in a frustrating, hard to figure how to queue sort of way. The seating is tight and uncomfortable and the sandwiches below par (especially the breads). Not good enough for me to give another try.

First time stopping here for a few sandwiches at lunch time. Place was pretty busy on a Monday but staff were attentive. Prices are a bit high, but meats and cheeses were of high quality. We will return when in the area.

The food is so amazing! I like that it’s a local business. The staff is always super friendly. My favorite is the chicken salad and the super yummy apple pie!!! I can’t wait for my next trip to The Wheat Market!

This place has awesome food but the true best part are the cookies and the huge pies.

Don’t let the name fool you. This mom & pop shop is a small deli that serves lunch and breakfast. Contrary to what the name implies they don’t sell bushels of wheat.
In a way this place seems befitting of the town of Chester and and in a way it doesn’t.
What I mean is the interior looks old, rustic, and very cluttered… almost like it’s been around for a million years. It seems very well at home in Chester.
Yet at the same time it doesn’t seem to cater to the whole frou-​frou New Yorker crowd and their art galleries that have descended on the town in the last couple decades. What I mean is the whole operation isn’t very polished. You won’t find sandwiches with fancy names, you won’t find an expresso machine, and you won’t find any ciabatta or baguette breads. Heck, for potato chips they sell Utz potato chips. Oh the horror, right?
It just looks like an ordinary deli place that you might find in any other town, but it just happens to be in Chester, tucked behind a handful of trendy shops and galleries.
Food & prices are OK. Order a sandwich and either eat inside or get it to go.
I recommend getting your food to go because the inside is slightly stuffy and quite a mess (although there are a few tables/​chairs). Unfortuately the Wheat Market doesn’t have any outdoor tables and chairs so you’ll have to find a sidewalk bench or stone wall to sit on. They do have plenty of parking though!
If people watching is more of your thing then I recommend skipping the Whaet Market and instead going to Simon’s Marketplace. It’s more of a trendy joint and it’s located right around the corner on Main Street.

Best Red Bliss Potato salad: Best ever… ever!!! Soups are awesome too. Hard to find a spot to sit at noon some come a little early or late! Enjoy.

Great deli and bakery. The best apple pie and homemade cookies anywhere. Unique sandwich selections and quality products from all over available to purchase in the market.

Fantastic quality. Decent service. Awful logistics.
If you are serving lunch, you have to get better at moving people in and out of the place.
Suggestions:
* Add tables
* Delete grocery shelves
* Have separate areas for ordering and paying. This is a crowded, confusing mess.
Do not change the quality food you offer one bit.
One more thing — cash only says «no thank you» to a person who eats lunch in Chester every week day.

Solid, solid, solid place for lunch.
The village of Chester does not tolerate mediocrity and the Wheat Market delivers with a great selection of breakfast items and baked goods along with sandwiches and soups. The «Tuna Works» is a favorite with shredded carrot and bean sprouts. I consistently find excuses to have to make my way down.
Friendly, prompt service though they get understandably busy at lunch. Being cash only is an annoyance, but one I am more than willing to suffer.

This place is fantastic. Great sandwiches, great soups, wonderful casual catering. The potato salad is out of the world. Simon’s is is better if you just want coffee, but The Wheat Market’s sandwiches and homemade cookies and pie are exponentially better.
