Grand View Market

A kitchen inside an independent grocery store that offers made to order breakfast all day, has the best cheese board for the price, and an excellent chicken tortilla soup. Perfect place for good food at a good price and hanging out with friends.

The customer service is the absolute worst. The management accuse you of stealing.
When I came in with a beer from a liquor store, purchased from across the street, I was told that I had stolen it. As as someone who has been a regular customer and supporter of this local business, I am extremely disappointed that the management can sink to this level. I asked to look at the security camera/​video/​showing «evidence» of this but I was not allowed — clearly there wouldn’t have been any.
While the music is good, after this unfortunate experience, I will not be returning. As a successful businessman, entrepreneur and active member of the Mar Vista/​Venice community, I will be informing friends, colleagues and clients about the appalling way the management — specifically the cook — treat their loyal customers. I advise the owner to re think his customer service/​hiring policy and employ only educated, intelligent, respectful employees who will treat his ‘regulars’ with the respect and dignity they deserve.

I like that this place is unassuming and kind of random. I mean, don’t we need a break from every spot looking like the same hipster designed, works in and owns every joint on the west side? Anyway, I’m very pleased with the sandwiches I’ve gotten there. Nothing fancy, just tasty.

Great beer, top notch product, hands down BEST sandwiches on west side!!!

I like to support local places, community places, and this seems like one of those places. We stumbled up on it while at the Mar Vista Farmers Market one Sunday. We wanted to get a latte and someone told us they make them. It didn’t seem like a coffee place when I walked in, but sure enough Groundworks coffee!
While waiting for my coffee I wandered around and found many Latin grocery items I like. It’s also a restaurant, with many tables and a counter, serving a large variety of food and breakfast all day. They even serve whole fried talipia! They have a meat and deli counter in the back as well. AND Thrifty’s Ice Cream counter! They make smoothies and green drinks too, so it’s really a full-​service place.
The coffees were good and kids got ice cream which was yummy too.
I see a Sunday breakfast before the farmers market in our near future! :-)

I’m usually very skeptical of most new food and bar business’s that open up in major cities these days. They are a lot more expensive and usually don’t reflect the community that has lived in the neighborhood. You can call me a hater, but my heart is always gonna be with working and middle class mom and pop joints.
This spot is new and defies my train of thought ! They have great food at fair prices. Deli sandwiches along with mexican plates. They got thrifty ice cream ! I didn’t expect that. they also got wine and beer that you can get by the glass or get from the aisle and pop open inside the spot.
Overall, its a good community spot that reflects mar vista/​venice/​culver city. They have open mics on fridays and outdoor seating.

Customer service has much worsened recently. They used to have good organic meat products, but the meat quality looks more poorer, not so fresh anymore.
I usually support neighborhood market, but will not endorse this one in Mar vista anymore.

meh. i’ve experienced better. If you are looking for a cheap place to eat breakfast, this could work. they have omelettes for around $ 7, with toast. you get 3 vegetables and 1 meat filling. but no potatoes or hash browns. it was a little sad looking, and there was not enough egg in the ratio to filling. and they forgot our avocado. when we asked, they brought our avocado to a different table. then we asked again, and the small amount we were given was overripe and brown all over. there was no one at 11am in there on a sunday.
the space is huge and i feel like it has so much potential! there is a lot of wasted space in there that could be used maybe to house a bakery or pastry counter? or a cute bar with bartender? raw bar?
i also wish the furniture was little upgraded. it’s like outdoor patio furniture, but covered in green fabric. if they invested in some nice seating I think they could attract a bigger crowd.

Love this place. Grocery store, good food and beer on tap. What else do you need? Oh yeah aqua fresh drinks that are refreshing in a hot day. Staff is nice and helpful and I just keep coming back. Every time I’m here I see more and more people showing up, clearly I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Cute little neighborhood market wedged in between a tattoo shop and hardware store. They have a variety of grocery items from produce, beverages (including craft beers on tap), organic items, deli and other meats, and snacks.
I ordered a toasted salami sandwich on a french roll with cheddar cheese, mustard & pickles. The meal comes with chips and salsa or a salad. It was very good and a quickly prepared meal before continuing on with my day.
They also serve scoops of Thrifty ice cream and fresh squeezed juices which you can get extras (ginger, honey, etc.)
A good amount of people were in the dining area reading, eating and enjoying some college football on the big screen tv.

This place is the best! Awesome ambiance with delicious food and a great selection of delicious beers! The people working here are also amazing, very kind and patient!
Run, don’t walk to Grand View Market!!! :)

This is a nice, cute, homey market with plenty of benches for eating. You can order various sandwiches and beers at the counter. This market’s interior has a nice, old school flavor with a vintage vibe. Interior is fairly large.
On Mondays, there is a band playing in the evening. I’ve mostly been here because there is a meetup that meets here to generally sketch, while eating food and drinking some beer. The old school-​look of this place is certainly charming for that kind of an event. Next door is a bike shop and a coffee shop.
There’s a happy hour around 6 – 8. There is mostly street parking. For food, a group of 4 – 6 should fit fine. People mostly come here to shop after all. And, then there are some of us who come here to drink beer and draw.

I came in at 1:40 in the afternoon. Just looking for a sandwich and a drink. There was no one in line and a few people behind the counter working, so I thought this would be perfect. I ordered my drink in my cheese sandwich. The lady behind the counter was very nice but there were two problems
First problem was that I brought my own cup. I care about the environment, what can I say! She proceeded to pull out the Styrofoam cup to «measure «the drink that goes into my cup. I asked her to just use your best judgment and she said she has to measure it the right way. I informed her that people that bring their own cups are probably doing it because they don’t want to waste the cup and she was just defeating the purpose.
No big deal. It’s just a cup I guess.
Then I waited for my sandwich and waited and waited and waited. Approximately 15 minutes went by and my sandwich still didn’t come. I had places to be so I just left. I don’t know if their food is any good.
If you have all the time in the world and you don’t care about the environment, this is the place for you!

Over priced local market with unhappy staff that has no business etiquette. I live across the street and have had the same experience multiple times. I dread going here and only do so if I have to. Management needs to educate their staff on how to treat customers. Today they charged me a different price than what was stated for the meat– when I caught it, they hid the sign. When I said «no, it’s the sign that you turned around» they said it was on the wrong thing and did not give me the price advertised.
Ugh– it’s so sad since the place had potential. It’s also pretty hot in there all of the time. Only good part about the place is the live music-​but even that is questionable.
Hope they turn things around.

I love this freakin place!
Draft beer, wine, coffee, shakes, ice cream, food, grocery, deli, what doesn’t this place have?! I bring people here whenever I get the chance as it’s my favorite place to hang in the neighborhood. Draft, local beers are cheap and tasty. There’s a happy hour from 6 — 8. There’s weekly events on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and maybe more, but I’m not sure.
I usually get grilled cheese with ham, chicken tacos, or the half chicken plate. I’ve been told the burritos are amazing. Definitely check out this awesome neighborhood spot.

Awhile back, a friend got us tortilla chips from here that were the best ever. While walking one day, happened to stumble on this market and it’s a really cute Mexican style market! They have a small eating area too so we ate breakfast. Food was decent but nothing to brag about. I think people come here to watch sports cause there were signs up about an upcoming soccer match.
I saw the chips but held back from buying cause I’m trying to cut back on my chip intake. Next time I’m here I probably won’t be able to resist. And I’ll get a pic of the brand also :)

This is one of those places you can drive by many times and not know what is inside. The bottom line is I stopped by for a burrito and it was very good. They have an old style soda /​sandwich counter and that is very cool.
In addition they have a nice meat counter and a market inside.
Stop by and check this place out!

Pricy but interesting atmosphere.
I would come back but it’s not an essential stop in Venice
Open mike night sounds like it could be fun

Service is kind of weak in this place, to the point of occassional rudeness. Recently theyve taken out the couches in an apparent attempt to limit riff raff hanging around vampiring WiFi, a move made a little distasteful by the employees who circle around to the actual customers eating there asking them of they want something to eat. Can’t say how many time ive ordered and eaten a sandwich, busted out a laptop and then been approached asking if I want more to eat. I’d understand if the place was full, but its barely ever even half occupied, and there is an air of unwelcoming attitude from some of the employees.
This is highlighted by the inconsistent menu prices and frankly disorganized staff which contradicts itself frequently regarding the pricing of certain items. The sandwiches are also overpriced, as are most of the grocery items. Smoothies are good, and there is a pretty good beer selection.

first off, let me start by saying i ADORE this place. much better option for getting some coffee and some work done than the claustrophobic Starbuck’s down the street.
the store itself is a throwback to an earlier era and reminiscent of when times were more simple in america. it is designed to look like a grocery mart from the 1950’s and the nostalgic effect is AMAZING. it reminds me of when i was a child and would go to the Murphy’s Mart with my mom and eat a BLT while she would do her shopping.
i was excited when this place first opened in my neighborhood and surely but slowly it’s becoming a hot spot, due to the great coffee, chorizo burritos, free wifi and open seating plan. eating my BLT today i ran into my barber and was happy to see that this place fosters a sense of community.
the grocery goods are coming along with the selections getting better and better. i especially love the organic soap station and look forward to trying some myself.
this place has an especially wide, old-​time, bottled soda collection with my some of my favorite hard to find flavors.
the only thing that this place needs??? a fat giant signature sandwich. if the owners develop just ONE SANDWICH that the neighborhood can’t do without, this will create lines and the kind of hustle and bustle it deserves. everything is already in place, the decorations, the staff, the layout, the location… all they need is to create some buzz around a sandwich and everything else will fall into place. people will come for the sandwich and start to buy goods. the lunch spot will attract more customers and people will be curious.
also needed are pictures of every sandwich. i don’t know what i want until i see a tantalizing picture of something sandwich. i think the ordering process could be streamlined if customers saw big pictures of the sandwiches on the wall behind the counter or at least on the menu. signature sandwiches are great. i HATE building my own sandwiches. i don’t know what’s good on a sandwich. left to my own device i’d simply get roast beef on french roll with horseradish and mayo. but there’s so much more available. for example the sandwiches offered at the new Chomp Eatery & Juice Station are out of this world. in the creation of the sandwich is where the individual chef’s tastes really come into play. instead of playing it safe i would like to see Grandview develop a cult following for signature sandwiches.
i strongly recommend the owners mosey on down to Bay Cities Deli on lincoln blvd and just flat out steal their sandwich. i hate going down there because the lines are unbearable. and if Grandview market offered something similar to «the Godmother» sandwich from bay cities they would effectively end the reign of sandwich monopoly terror inflicted upon the west side by this one little deli. i’m really rooting for grandview to steal their thunder. because i’m proud of my hood. proud of what this grocery is trying to do. and want an alternative to the douche-​baggery lines upon lines at bay cities. MAKE IT HAPPEN, BOYS!
p. s. would LOVE it if i could watch the UFC fights here. ALSO i would love it if there were nice pictures of the sandwiches you can get here. hard to visualize the menu, need some well taken photos PLEASE!!!
