I've lived around the corner for several years, and have stopped in the store a handful of times…read morewhen I need an item in a pinch. It's good for dry/packaged goods, but I wouldn't trust any fresh items there including milk, eggs, meat. I was in there this past weekend to get a small bottle of milk and noticed the sell by date of all the bottles was past due. I told them about it and suggested they take them off shelf. I bought a liter instead that had a sell by date of about 4 days later. I went home to use it, and it smelled sour, like cheese. I went back to return it, and noticed they hadn't taken down the expired milk. To be honest, I wasn't really expecting they would. They didn't seem to be concerned about it. I'm not sure if it was a language barrier or not, because they didn't seem to be fluent in English. I don't think the cashier knew much English at all. They seemed fairly pleasant about the situation, and did give me my money back after I requested it. All in all, just be careful about what you're buying from there, especially fresh foods.

As a transplant from NYC this is what Philadelphia lacks but Arch Gourmet brings it! Sandwiches, salads snacks and some pantry items too. Wide selections of everything and solid pricing. It's not a discount shop but it's all high quality and worth a stop in when you're in the area. Let's talk breakfast sandwiches. The moment you walk in you smell that their grill top is making something delicious. Bacon egg and cheese on a roll is my barometer, and I was NOT disappointed. This is an excellent place for breakfast, lunch and snacks! I look forward to being able to come in again soon.

I finally made it over to Rowhouse Grocery after I got a recommendation from a friend of mine who…read morekeeps saying things like "you haven't gone yet? "you have to try their noodles" and "they have such great lunch options." So when it was 96° outside I decided to take the .8 mile trek over. By the time I got there, I was soaked Athrough my clothing, which is probably the best first impression you could give, so I'm glad I chose to walk here in the middle of a heat wave. When I walked in, immediately noticed a little box of gloves and a sign asking customers to wear them while shopping. As I reached for a pair, one of the people working behind the counter began to ask me to put on the gloves. Mid sentence, she realized that I am an A+ student and always follow directions. I took a look around I noticed a bunch of fresh produce close to the entrance. Along the right side were some refrigerators and freezers with a few items such as meat, cheese, ice cream, vegetables and some vegan items. I'm assuming they must've just had the lunch rush since there was only one vegan wrap and 2 or 3 pudding like desserts in there. On the sides of the refrigerators were some shelf stable items. Chips, bread, pastas, spices, nut butter and stuff like that. By the register they had a couple of fresh pastries, baked goods and then a few of your typical register type things like protein bars and candy. The place is actually a bit smaller than I would've thought based on the outside. They also have a lot less items than I thought they would, though that could be due to short supply with all the pandemic stuff going on. Since I didn't actually need anything and just came by to check out the place, I didn't wanna be rude so I bought a few things. A couple of bananas for the kiddo, some gluten free pasta and garlic for me and a couple of pastries for the Mrs. The only thing that would make this store even better is some organic items/produce and better gluten free options. They had a few good gf pastas, but the bread company they use is dry and literally tastes like cardboard. There's an amazing gf bakery (taffets) in the Italian market that would be a great addition to this place. So why the 5 start rating? #1: I 100% support local businesses. #2: I 200% support local businesses that buy local products. #3: I love that they sell ready made food and baked items. Great work Rowhouse Grocery!!

It would be easy to walk by Rowhouse Grocery and not even realize it .... but especially if it is…read moreTuesday afternoon you do not want to do that. You see on Tuesdays, Rowhouse bakes Pulla - the wonderful bread pastry from Finland. If you are like me, you will want to get your fix of Pulla because I only seem to get to Helsinki every few years and though I always have some Pulla to take with me when I leave Finland, it's gone in a couple of days. This cardamom infused sweet bread goes naturally with coffee or tea ... but as a Finnish friend in Vienna taught me, you can also make a tasty sandwich with it. Anyway, Rowhouse Grocery has fresh out-of-the-oven Pulla every Tuesday afternoon. Get there early or reserve ahead of time. p.s. They also make a killer orange upside-down cake. If they have this orange treat when you stop in, def add it to your order.

The area does not have too many big grocery stores, so these small marts really help out the community. The food here is also very good and quick.
