Very impressed with the variety at this international market. Many times stores claim to be…read more"international" but only really supply items for one culture with the exception of two or three products. That's not so with this International Market in State College! They had a plethora of Mediterranean, South American, Asian, and European products. Another great thing is it is somewhat organized by region, so you don't find random things next to each other. The store is located in an old house so you go from room to room while shopping. It can feel a little bit cramped but I was surprised by the amount of products they sell. There are lots of refrigerator and freezer goods too. The prices seem high for American groceries but as far as I can tell they are typical for an international market. I'd suggest reading other reviews and checking expiration dates. I'm new in town and have only been once but I understand they may not have high turnover for some products that may end up past their expiration. Just use your brain. Not sure if they take cards- I always assume there's a card minimum or that they don't take card so keep cash on hand. The only disappointing thing was their fresh produce. It was the size of a cocktail table and had about 6 items total. I'm sure there are other shops in town with better produce selection but as far as cultural variety, I'd say this International Market takes the cake.

Dear Mehmet Kurt, I…read moream a frequent shopper at your store on Hamilton Ave and really value the Turkish and Mediterranean specialties you bring to State College. I am writing to suggest that Global Foods consider launching a dedicated website to showcase your unique inventory. State College has a large international community that often searches online for specific items such as halal meats, Turkish baklava, or imported cheeses before shopping. A website would make it much easier for us to: View your current stock of fresh specialty imports. Confirm store hours for the week. Help students and new residents find the only store of this kind in the area. For building the site, I recommend using platforms like Shopify or WooCommerce. Both are world-class for managing grocery inventory and are highly respected for their security and ease of use. (I specifically urge staying away from Wix due to the fact that it is Israeli). Your store provides a wonderful service to the community, and I believe a digital storefront would help even more people discover the great products you offer. I put four out of five stars because you guys don't have as many things as I would hope for an international market, but then again, it isn't a large one, so I understand inventory prioritization. Best regards, A loyal customer.

The store isn't very big but they have a lot of stuff. I found what I thought I needed and asked the lady working if I could make kimchi with it and she said no, then walked me around to get the items I DID need and I really appreciated it! My kimchi turned out tasty, but who knows how authentic it actually is haha. One cool thing is they serve fresh kimbap on thursdays (I think), and I hear it's usually very limited quantities but I've had it before and can vouch that it's delicious! They sell their own made in-house kimchi too which looked good. They have Korean specific ingredients but also some other things that are more generally used in Asian cuisine. They're a little pricy but worth it if you need something quick! They still recommend masking (something I think it's maybe time for us to move on from...) but they don't require it, just know if you go in unmasked you may get some unpleasant looks. It is what it is.
