They had a lot of Indian goodies, from candy and juices and jarred goods, along with samosas in a mini oven, ready to eat. We also found loads of Asian candies, and a million flavors of Oreo products. Pricing was reasonable. I went with a friend, who bought a bunch of goodies that felt nostalgic. It's a simple place, decorated in a funky way, with a lot of fun products to try.

We were able to find everything we needed, aside for some ginger, which they only had huge portions packaged off. We only needed a small piece, so we will find that elsewhere. Otherwise, there were pretty cool selection of goodies and unique finds in the freezer section. When checking out, there was a pretty rowdy group of kids yelling and running around (no, their parents didn't bat an eye) and inevitably was swinging a pack of glass drinks and some flew out and exploded as they hit the ground. Brown liquid and lots if shattered glass were on the ground right behind me. The parents still were frozen, but the workers were pretty nice and told the kids to watch their step and be careful as they got another worker to come help clean up the mess. These parents are a disgrace and should've done and known better. Their kids were running around the entire store with free will. I commended the professionalism that these workers had, because I would've crashed out lol. We left before the clean up so not sure if they had to pay for it or not... I would've charged them double.

Not the case here the floors were exceptionally clean. I didn't buy any fish or meat but definitely would have. The fish were well kept under ice as they should be. We were greeted by a smiling cashier. I love the fact it is a neighborhood, locally owned business. I live in Boston and we want to spend our money in the city.

Ayse was incredibly kind, welcoming, and so helpful. I originally stopped in for their Turkish sparkling mineral water, which is hands down the best sparkling mineral water I've found in Boston. Most sparkling waters give me heartburn, but this one actually helps relieve it! While I was there, I asked Ayse if she had any hidden gem recommendations. She suggested the labneh (pictured) and these cleaning wipes... and can I just say WOW. They have completely replaced my regular cleaning products. I use them all over my house, and I'm a total clean freak! They're made with vinegar instead of harsh chemicals, the strawberry scent smells amazing, and the price is unbelievable. I've already bought packs for my family and friends because I love them that much. And the labneh? It's the best I've ever had. I think I'm on my 25th container at this point. If they ever stop carrying it, I might actually cry. If you're looking for authentic Turkish products, friendly service, and some truly amazing finds, I can't recommend this place enough. Definitely check out this hidden gem--you won't regret it!

If I lived closer, they'd take all my money! There are Turkish sodas, savory yogurt drink and other beverages, chocolates, sweets, cookies, jarred red pepper paste, and all the Turkish essentials you can think of. They even have refrigerated items like beyaz peynir (feta) and sujuk as well as frozen manti and other goodies. Someone who has spent time in Turkey will surly find some products they like, but even if you have no clue about Turkish products, you will surly find something you like. The service is really great. The last time I was there, last week after visiting the delicious Lazuri Cafe a few doors down, the lady working there, Aysha, was great. She was friendly and helpful, making suggestions but no pressure. Offering complementary candies to enjoy. One of her suggestions was a Turkish cleaning product called Cif. I know it and love it and they sell a few varieties there. Check this store out!

A very friendly and well stocked little market.

Their maple soft serve is a fan favorite among locals and tourists alike. It is so creamy, has that depth in maple flavor, and always pair as well with whatever other saucer flavor that they are offering that day in addition to the maple. I had chocolate with the maple swirl, and it was creamy indulgent and a showstopper. In addition to the soft serve, they also have a variety of locally produced consumable goods and a wonderful selection of wine. The staff are also so kind!

Momma's is a small market with some sauces, drinks, fresh produce, etc. They also have soft serve which you can either get chocolate, maple, or a maple/chocolate twist. It's $6 and then adding sprinkles makes it $7. I'd opt out of the rainbow sprinkles next time, and would suggest ordering it without sprinkles. Everyone seemed to really like the maple flavor, and I got the chocolate with sprinkles which had a nice flavor to it once I got past the sprinkles.

I lucky spotted a door open at the bottom of a long set of stairs. To my surprise there were people hustling and bustling below. I also saw a bunch of boxes and decided to take a quick closer peek at what was going on below street level. I ventured down a few steps and to my surprise saw a full blown old fashion Asian Apothecary store complete with an older woman behind a counter mixing multiple herbs and dried roots and wrapping them in brown paper. The store was impressive with the high quality of the Apothecary here, from ginseng roots and extracts to 50 lb bags of miscellaneous dried mushrooms to lotus flowers etc. I purchased some Korean Ginseng Tea at a very reasonable price. This is a great find, next time I will inquire if they have any Goji Berry products or Lingzhi Mushrooms which are somewhat difficult finds. I give Kok Wa Co a Solid 4 Stars. I may have gone up to 5 if I could have communicated with them.
