Question Mart

I came in today, from the rain, in desperate need of change for the bus. I selected a Yerba Mate drink that was pricier than I hoped, but since it was big, and I need the energy, I dont mind the near $ 3 price tag. (Can wasnt labeled BTW). The lady was very friendly and even helped me with my change situation. This is a welcome situation after my run in with the sour, greedy snack shack owner at the Newark Broad St. Station. He makes up prices, refuses to give THIRTY-​FIVE CENTS in change. Why bother mentioning him?
Because some day, you may need to catch the 13 from Newark and not have change. If you dont see it coming, walk to Question Mart, buy something fresher and healthier, walk one more block and catch the 13 there. Provided the bus works with you, its a much better alternative to buying a stale bagel from a crusty man.

Wow, this place is amazing. The owner are always listening to their customers. Several products that my partner and I have suggested they’ve ordered in. Great vegan/​Vegetarian options, fresh food, local food. Its as good as it gets in Newark. Really the community needs to support this local business. The prices are not even much higher than a big chain, some prices are lower. Newark needs more places like this!

What an awesome and unexpected store in the middle of Downtown Newark! This place was on my list of things to check out for a while, and I finally stopped by about a month ago. This is kind of a convenience store but they carry a lot of interesting items including environmentally products, organic stuff, unusual/​specialty beverages, and gourmet snacks. They also have normal convenience store brands also.
I was just looking for a snack so I bought a Blood Orange Pellegrino and some really delicious Tate’s cookies. If you haven’t tried Tate’s cookies you should– they are awesome! I needed cocoa powder and they didn’t have any but the person working there was very helpful and seemed knowledgable about the products. They even have some pretty fairly priced organic produce, a few prepared foods, and a couple of meat products.
It obviously does not have the selection of a larger grocery store but I would still recommend stopping by and checking it out as you are sure to find something interesting. The prices also seemed extremely reasonable and it is always great to support local businesses.

I’m a big believer in supporting local businesses and I’m really glad I stopped by today. The store is new, clean and has a nice array of healthy organic foods ranging from buckwheat pancake mix, organic refried beans, and lentil soup. The owner was very receptive to hearing what I was interested in having them carry and whether I had any brand preferences. I would definitely recommend dropping by here if you live or work in the Newark area.

***Quick Edit 5÷04÷13: Went in yesterday and they now have Blood Orange Pellegrino. Thanks Question Mart!

Interesting beverage selection and also extra points for flavored Pellegrino (no Blood Orange kind tho which is my fav***). Grass-​fed bone marrow out of nowhere! I was not expecting that. Sure, it’s frozen, but guess what appetizer is perfectly defrosted by the time I get back home uptown? Natural peanut and cashew butter and other organic options. I’ll be going back

The only reason why I’ve rated it 4 and not 5 stars is because it’s still building up its stock. Other than that– great! The cashier was very helpful and suggested coconut milk based ice cream. It was heaven. The mango I bought was delicious. Go to this store!

I’ve been coming here weekly for the past three weeks, and I can see myself becoming a regular as this is on my commute back home from school and I shop weekly. A handful of organic foods (apples, oranges? quinoa, bananas, etc) and local produce when possible of course. Prices for organics are pretty competitive with other markets, at least with other organic produce; For example, organic apples are $ 1.99 a pound at? Mart vs. Shop-​Rite which sell them for $ 2.29. There are definitely a hand full of vegan/​vegetarian options (vegenaise, daiya cheese, soy milk, hemp milk, etc.), which is exciting and from my experience and somewhat difficult to find in the area so I’m sure once a people discover this place it will be a staple market in the city of Newark. I do believe they sell prepared food as well, but I have never tried any (they do have plans to deliver food in the future based on my conversation with the employees; it’s still a work in progress). It’s still rather new, and they are very open to any suggestions you may have for them. The owners and employees are very friendly, and are very helpful with any questions you may have. I have high hopes for this local market, and would definitely recommend all who are interested to go in and check it out themselves.

Mwah-​mwah-​mwah. This place closed! Not good. Not nice. Sucks.

Amazing oasis in the heart of Newark. An amazing amount of organic, local, and vegan options at competitive city prices. What a gem!

It’s difficult to rate this store just yet; it’s quite new and is still building up its stock. However, I think this store has a lot of potential! It carries a good variety of fresh produce, organic options, and vegan/​vegetarian/​gluten-​free items.
