The no backpack rule is ridiculous. I walked to the store from down the street only to pick up a few things. I have personal effects in my bag and their response was no backpacks allowed. You can leave it on this table unattended while you shop with nobody to look after it, and when I questioned it, their words were if that's that's the way you feel about it. You should really leave your bag now insinuating that maybe I was going to steal something which is ridiculous. read more

It's a lovely local market though the shelves were not fully stocked. And of course, the prices are higher than if you went to the local Stop n Shop. But you are not going here for the prices, you are going here because you are local and want to shop here. The fish were incredibly beautiful - that was the best part of the store! They used to have a lot more local stuff in the front as well. They used to have an active 2nd floor with Merch but that is not the case any more. Take a whirl - there is parking and you never know what you might find. read more

See all

Every time I have gone here lately either they didn't give me my change or they shorted me. The first time the girl kept saying she gave me the right change. After showing her the receipt and the change for the third time she finally gave me the right change, No apology was given. I only go here when I need something quick, but with their high prices and shorting the change it really isn't worth the time saved read more

Great service, Kid named JJ Downey is quick at the register and is the man. Give him a raise!!!!!!

Shore prices, but a good selection and friendly staff. They had all the essentials and plenty of extras.

We stopped into Crosby's Market while exploring the area, because I was hoping to find some local goods, but I couldn't find much. It was a nice grocery though. Clean with friendly employees. They seemed to carry the traditional grocery items, though I couldn't find many local items. But, if you live in the area this seems like it would be a good place to shop. It's centrally located and has lots of parking. read more

The perfect specialty grocery store that is a staple of a community. All food interests covered from day to day to gourmet and a wonderful wine selection. Jealous of everyone in Marblehead for this gem read more

Prices are expensive. Some of the meat I've bought here seems gross. There's a lot of better grocery stores out there so why shop here? If I want expensive I'll go to Whole Foods. At least some of their stuff is better quality. read more

I mean yes Penny's was better, more homy and Yes I still think that we lost a bit of our town charm when this went in but over all great place read more

Crosby's is a part of my weekly grocery shopping routine. The store is always clean, and I have been frequently asked if I needed assistance or had any questions while shopping. Prices are about the same as the larger chains, and they have weekly sales you can take advantage of. The cashiers have always been prompt, accurate, attentive, and friendly. Even occasionally employees have checked the stock room for me if something I needed was not on the shelf. I rate a business on overall performance over a long period of time and not to one or two experiences. I feel one of the main reasons that Crosby's Marblehead deserves 5 stars is due to the store manager, Katerina Thompson. Parking is convenient, shopping carts always on hand. We are extremely fortunate to have Crosby's Marketplace in Marblehead. read more

I love Crosbys market! I literally shop here twice a day every day. Counterintuitively, the price points are really not much higher than a much larger supermarket if you stick to the meat section, dairy, and produce. I can walk here and it's much more convenient than driving to a larger supermarket. The employees are the best, especially Zakia! read more

Some thing is wrong with your management policy on buying wine or beer. I'M 86 yr old and look it. Do I need some 20's yr old clerk tell me that I need ID that tells my age. Do you relieze how pathetic this make your policy look. ron s. read more

A true disaster. Their shelves are repeatedly empty in the last year. One never knows when food will be there or not. There is rarely -- especially late in the day -- a manager on duty who knows anything. Their prices are a cross between sky high and cheap. They have no plan or trajectory. All they have is a captive audience. read more

staff are kind but the products are so overpriced. would not recommend grocery shopping here.

Crosby's has a feel of an old 1950's grocery store. The employees at Crosby's are always pleasant, easy to talk to, and very helpful. There is a nice wine selection that won't break the bank. There fresh fish is fantastic. I have tried there Haddock and Cod and it was great quality. And I love there selection of hummus and other packaged snacks in the fridge area by the cheese. read more

Open for lunch, sandwiches, soups or just regular ole grocery shopping, Crosby's has a great small town feel and staff. There are prepared meals, or a fresh selection of produce, meat, fish, etc to do it yourself. The location is nice and the prices are very reasonable, which some may not assume when thinking of a smaller, non-chain grocery store. read more

If I owned a market and filled it with all my go to brands, favorite foods, cleaning supplies and loveliness it would be Crosby's. I was thrilled to find this grocery within walking distance. The prices are super reasonable also! read more

I like Crosby's because: It's a block from the beach It's a grocery store, not too expensive, you can get food to eat on the beach If you call an hour in advance, they'll turn on the lobster steamer and they'll steam a lobster for you when you get there, which you can eat on the beach. The lobsters are in the deli section. We always get a side of potato salad and some of their other good side salads. read more

If you enjoy over priced food and almost every item out of date then this is the place for you !!! Not to mention they have the worst customer service I've seen in a long time !!!! Worst grocery store in Massachusetts by far !!! read more

I want to give you my business, like I have for the last 25 years. But!!! You have not changed with the times and your meat and poultry absolutely suck! I just tossed 2 lbs of marinated chicken down the garbage disposal for the second time this year. Sell local and charge me more! Otherwise I won't be back for even a gallon of milk! read more

Love Crosby's! Great store with good and friendly customer service. Everything seems to be of exceptional quality, fresh, and good prices. The young gentleman in the deli is so respectful. Just an all around great store. read more

Crosby's is a wonderful, clean, pleasant, place to shop. They have everything, and everything is top notch. The staff, especially the meat, department are smart, friendly, and helpful. I shop in both Salem, and Marblehead. Both stores have a unique and delicious ready made food section. Fresh flavorful salad bar. It's what's for dinner. read more

The Marblehead Crosbys Market is great , it is a small locally owned grocery store but has a excellent selection including local products such as Puleo's and Highlawn farm milk both wicked creamy and fresh,Atomic cafe coffee beans, Iggys bread, and even some Brooksby farm produce in season. If they keep stocking These local products it would nice. The Meat and Seafood can be more hit or miss. They also sell beer and wine , and they just expanded there choices with more craft beer but prices a bit higher than other stores. Check the weekly flyer for sale items !!!! The store could use some more flair or updating . read more

Was walking around Marblehead today and decided to stop in at Crosby's to get some wine for tonight. As I was on foot I did not have my driver's license on me. The cashier said they could not sell me a bottle of wine without seeing my license. As I will be 60 years old in 2 weeks I asked if a manager could help out. The manager came said the same thing. I will never sop there again and will try my hardest to dissuade anyone I know from shopping there. read more

Summary: A compact supermarket that has everything you need for full-service grocery shopping without all the extraneous aisles of filler, at the same price as Shaws or Stop & Shop. What really strikes me about this place is the efficiency with which they arrange and fill the space with everything you need. But they dont price gouge you in the fashion of most neighborhood grocers. The company must also treat their employees well, because its always the same staff working there. Fresh produce, great deli counter, huge selection of wine & beer, fair prices on chicken and beef. The only caution I have is stay away from the pre-made potato and pasta salads. Those are gross. is Crosbys as cheap as market basket? No way, but I dont have to risk hypertension dealing with the crush of people. Its right around the corner and has everything I need at a price I'm happy with for the convenience. read more

Horrible, horrible experience every time I come to this store. I found mold on my English muffins not once, but TWICE here now. The employees don't seem to care about customer concerns and brush off moldy bread as if it's not a real problem. I have tried to contact the owner many times but never get a reply and have never been offered a return of cash that I spent on their moldy bread (and it costs a pretty penny here too)!! The majority of the customer base in this area is elderly folk such as myself who have little energy and time to come back to this hole to return expired foods and he knows that!! Crosbys doesn't care about the customers, it cares about making money off overpricing it's old, expired food! Don't let a penny of your hard earned money go to such a classless, careless business!!! read more

when you think, ok, when I think of a new england grocer's, I think of them. -1 star for carding old people, blindly. +1 for having what you need without having things you don't need. that said, they did not have frozen whole corn when S&Shop did have. read more

The Crosby store, in Albion, on Route 104, is the biggest scammer of gas prices around. The raise their gas prices, during the week, and then have a "special" on Sunday, with 5 cents off, but are still the highest price, in the area. I won't buy from them, as they are not competitive with other gas stations. read more
