I have been under old and new management as of today…read more Let's start by saying if your upset that someone here doesn't communicate in English great then this isn't your place and you should work on that as a person. I don't come here for everything , but I will say... The produce section is top notch , the freezer selection has a variety offered by very few others, the spice section alone is worth a visit, I'm a big tea drinker and this place has never disappointed, a big draw for me is I like to feed my dog organ meat, this isn't popular at some places, I've never had any gripes with the quality or price of what I have purchased. Everything has been 100%.I see many employees smiling and working hard whenever I go there. Some items might cost more than other places but I would rather get the niche items I couldn't otherwise and pay a couple extra bucks in total for the rest. Id rather give my business to them than some corporate super market that don't care about anybody except profit margin. Thank you and I'll be back.

This is my to go for Asian stuff but lately not good. I understand they won't know what inside look like but whoever sold this durian for them have to take a responsible for selling not ready durian right?. It was $13.99 a pound and the one i bought today cost $75 so i just waste $75 for nothing? I call the store and the answer they gave me was " We not response for durian, we don't know how is the inside. Everyone buy it and they are good" they told me to "Don't buy it again" and laughing!! what you laughing at? Customer lose the money.

I want to love it... funky store, very interesting. But it seems that each time I walk in, "I can't…read moreget no, satisfaction" - its a funky place that requires adult supervision and navigation assistance. And that is not what I have gotten. :-( Which is a bummer. The FIRST time I walked in, the cute owner was being interviewed by local news folk... and with all that attention, there was zero attention for in-coming clients. The second and third and forth times I've been in... not full... not a lot of people... same thing. I will keep trying until I get some help. Which is weird from what I hear from the CN's fans. Condiments, teas, do-it-yourself scrubs, masks, oils, soaps, planters with all kinds of cute little succulents. You'd think you are in a magic shop somewhere Harry Potter may ask Hermione or Snape to whip up (so he can get a table at the Railtrail when it's at peak craziness!). A little bit hippy, a lot new age, it's a store of wonders. But it's not for everyone. My 18 year old won't be caught in this beautiful little store. I hope I get caught (by the staff) and get a guided tour and introduction to something new - I'm a sucker for body scrubs...

I have been a loyal customer of Crose Nest from the very beginning, and now I'm here to recommend a…read morenew service they are offering - wedding and party favors!! Crose Nest made GORGEOUS spice blend vials for the favors at my wedding. We chose Black Lava Salt and a golden Mesquite seasoning, and Kinsey (the lovely owner of Crose Nest) layered them in glass vials, creating beautiful landscapes. You can choose from SO many spices, or create teas, bath blends, etc - so many options for cooking, drinking, and pampering! Kinsey put each vial in a beautiful linen drawstring bag, and hand-stamped our custom wedding stamp on the front of each one. Our guests were delighted by these favors. I can't recommend this service from Crose Nest enough!

One of Lowell's true treasures, if you're a fan of baked beans, these set the standard that all…read moreothers are measured by and the beans pair great with the delicious pork pies. The flavors in Cote's beans remind me of Lowell's vibrant mill heritage and they make me reminisce warm memories of times as a child I spent in Lowell with my family and friends. My dad has been gone for a time now; he grew up in Lowell on Mammoth Road, became a productive part of the community and ran a very successful business in the area. He shared his heritage of growing up during the times when the mills were the bloodline of the community. Sitting here enjoying the beans brings me back to the age when I was in grade school and my father would take me to Rochette's Diner, where they served Cote's Beans and it was weird as a kid that I loved the beans even more than the great french-fries they served. Or eating at one of the many dinners that served their beans after a night at the Golden Gloves when I was in my teens. Before I wrote this review I spent a few minutes looking up the history of Cote's, I can remember it as far back as I can remember; so I wasn't surprised to find out Cote's was started back in 1902 and that for 105 years four generations this hardworking family has been serving delicious food. They are a cherished part of the community.

I just finished reading all the reviews and while most of them were positive and well deserved, a…read morecouple of things stood out that I think deserve some comment. Before I get to them I want to jump on the bandwagon and say Rob and Jannette (the owners) are some of my favorite people now. I park my car in the garage across the street from them and feel a gravitational pull to the market every time I park. I sometimes go in there with no need and no idea why I'm going in and walk out with something special. Now to the complaints (which were few but shouldn't go unchallenged). First, some complained that the prices are high. That's true, as well as inevitable at such a small scale. I know the owners aren't becoming rich via this venture. If you're the type of person that only considers prices when forming a value statement, you might be better off going to BJ's. For me, value is a complex calculation that doesn't actually result in something that you can put a dollar sign in front of. I live in the neighborhood so convenience is a factor. The selection, in particular the beer and wine choices, is something that I literally can't find at any other grocery store nearby, thanks to the invisible Puritans in my state that voted down a referendum to allow grocery stores to sell beer and wine. Much of what's available is sourced locally. More important than those, and something that I saw in many reviews, is the wonderful relationship I have with the owners. I can't even walk past the place without a friendly wave from them. They know their products and are happy to answer questions about them. And they know me. They know I try to only eat vegan foods, their amazing Muffaletta sandwich being a notable exception. They know I'm allergic to chocolate. As a regular customer, I get special treatment from them. Try THAT at Market Basket! Just this morning, I ran out of turmeric and ran to the market. They didn't have it on the shelf, but they had it in the kitchen. Rob got me what I needed and refused to take my money. What's something like that worth to you? I also saw some people complain that the produce can be on the edge of spoilage. I can't deny that there have been times when I purchased things only to have them inedible the next day. I understand that this is just normal for a small, owner-operated grocery store with moderate turnover and minimal staff. But instead of writing them off, I alert them when I think something in the display fridge should be removed. Also, I don't stock my refrigerator from MSM. I buy what I need when I'm going to use it and inspect it before putting it my shopping basket. In other words, I don't attempt to treat them like a tiny Hannaford. I treat them like an amazing pantry, which is easy for me since they're in the neighborhood. Before the MSM opened the city conducted a survey among downtown residents that attempted to figure out what types of businesses people would most like to have appear in the neighborhood. A small grocer was at the top of most resident's preferences. I'd like to remind people that now that we have one, we'd better use it... or we'll lose it. I'd also add that whatever problems may exist at MSM, they'll only get better if we reach out to them the way they've reached out to us.

Market Street Market is the only locally-owned grocery store as of the time of writing this. The…read moreowner of the store also owns the building, and he is as friendly and helpful as anyone could ask for. The market carries a nice assortment of fruits and veggies (mostly local), deli meat & cheese, pastas, sauces, breads, coffees, etc. They have a great MA-roasted coffee that is excellent, and you can even get fresh-squeezed OJ by the glass - there's a fancy contraption that allows you to watch the process - or you can get watermelon by the slice. Perfect for those hot summer evenings. There are some muffins and pastries if you need a quick snack, frozen foods, and a decent selection of laundry soaps (like method) and other household necessities. In short, pretty much anything (basic) you'd need to run your home, especially if you already eat out several nights a week. They're open 8am - 8pm. Also, since it's a smaller store, I'm assuming that the owners will stock anything you ask for if there is a growing demand for it. They seem pretty flexible and are definitely open to opinions and feedback on how to make store as good as they possibly can. So why didn't I give it 5 stars? Well, it is pretty small, so there's no way they can stock EVERYthing that I need, which means I'll still probably have to go to a larger store for some things. That and the prices have to be a little higher because they get such small quantities. Otherwise, I'm a fan. I'll try to get at least a few items there every week just to keep them in business, because it's something that was sorely missing from the downtown Lowell area. Stop by and check them out! Tell 'em Jen + Tommy sent you :)
