I live right around the corner from Huntington and my husband and I love it. It's so incredibly convenient and the owner is so sweet. He recognizes us and always asks if we need help or if we've found what we were looking for. They've recently expanded the store to sell beer and wine and they have a great selection. It is a little pricey but that's to be expected for convenience in Boston. To address some of the other reviews: there are two Indian men who run the register. There's the younger guy (probably around 40) who is very sweet and friendly, and then another, older man (probably around 60) who is very quiet and looks stern. I don't believe he's mean, I think that's just his face. read more

Excellent shop. I've been going here for two years and I love the variety of beers you can get. They always have the zero gravity specials and it keeps it fun. Old standards are also always there. Incredibly friendly people inside. You'll get a hello! every time you walk in if the owner is working. I pick up cheese eggs milk bread etc when I'm in a pinch too. I'm moving out this week and told the shop owner. He gave me all the boxes I could ever want to help the process and I really appreciate it. Seriously good people. Everything you could possibly want. read more

I've bought beer here a few times in a pinch. Sometimes it tastes awful, but I just figured I didn't like the beer I chose. Recently I bought one of my favorite beers. It was barely drinkable. I'm not sure what is going on with the beer (storage conditions? old?), but it does not taste good. read more

A great neighborhood bodega. Great selection of Ben & Jerrys (incl non-dairy), booze, lottery tix and candy. The owners are super nice.

If you live in the Brighton area, this convenience store is truly convenient! It has a whole variety of things like alcohol, simple groceries, and a good variety of drinks/snacks. I always go here to get simple pantry stuff or recently my lactaid milk and I think it also is relatively cheaper than other stores for these things. The guy at the front is also super nice and always saying "Hi" with the biggest smile ever so it makes you feel welcomed! Again, it's a convenience store just perfectly located near the BC area so it's very simple and the inside is also clean :) read more

Excellent corner store. Whether you need beer, Mac and cheese, or toilet paper, Huntington Market has got you covered. You'll always be welcomed with a smile and a friendly greeting. Family run I believe. Great spot for quick needs in the Brighton area. read more

Cut my finger with a knife, ran in here, got a band aid and saved my life! In all seriousness, place is pretty expensive but it is what it is. Corner mart and gets 4 stars for convenience. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to go. I live right down the street, with another market near by, but choose this one every time. My friend that owns is it the sweetest, kindest, most uplifting gentleman I've experienced in a convenience store. He remembers my face, my name and so much so he gave my boyfriend a chocolate to give me for my birthday. He makes my days and I enjoy his store so much! read more

Small store with nice beer selection. Some prices are sky high. This is not a sustainable biz plan to have such high margins. You WILL lose customers if not addressed. Good luck read more

The store policy regarding the minimum needed to use your credit card changes as fast as the wind. The owner told me three different minimums over the course of one month, and did not have any info posted regarding credit card minimums. You can tell the store buys their products from other retailers like Costco and then jacks up the prices for you. Many of the products in the store are individually marked as "not for resale," but that doesn't stop the owner from trying to illegally sell those products to consumers. The prices are outrageous, probably due to them buying mostly from retailers, instead of suppliers. AVOID, and save yourself the trouble by walking to Cleveland Circle. read more

I was shopping with my black friend. I'm Asian by the way. Right when we walked in, the owner, an old Indian man, looked at us. The enitre time we were there, he kept staring at us as if we were about to steal something. I can understand from his point of view because we are two college students who also happen to be minorities; however, this does not give him a right to discriminate against us. We were planning on buying tissues because a lot of us have gotten sick and were getting sick. We were debating which brand would be the best value for its qunatity when the owner suddenly remarks that if we weren't going to buy anything, then leave. This ignorant and discriminatory remark left us astounded - in disbelief that another minority would have such a racist preset mindset for other minorities. We left the place immediately. Never coming back here again. read more

Huntington Market - The front. - Convenience Stores Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

I'll be the first to admit that it took me a good 7 months of living across the street from this place before I ventured inside. While it certainly is no-frills both inside and out, Huntington Market is a great corner shop offering up everything from the necessary staples to ping-pong balls at the register. It's cleaner than most convenience stores in the area and the owner has a charm about him that is more likely to be found in a small town than a big city. Stop by this place to be reminded what it's like to live in a real neighborhood. read more

Best corner convenience store around. Always a friendly welcome from the owner and his family. Typically has everything we need and if they don't they'll find it in the back or find something similar. They have a credit card minimum but when I was low on cash the owner offered to let me pay him back later. I never leave this place without a smile. read more

Love this place! Some of the friendliest and most welcoming staff I've ever experienced. Great variety for a convenience store; they have all the basics and then some! read more

Lol at some of these comments. Though it's true that if you walk around a lot and take your time, the old dude stares at you as if you're a thief. He barely speaks English but I've gotten him to laugh and smile a couple times with my sarcasm. Place has some expensive stuff and some inexpensive stuff. Pretty much... You just gotta take it for what the place is read more

I love this place for something I need quickly. Yes, it's not glamorous, but the owner treats you as if he has been waiting all day to see you and you're the best customer. If you just need bread, a Diet Coke or a quick candy bar and newspaper, this is the place. read more

Last night I had a huge craving for Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles. Random, and incredibly inconvenient on a hot-as-balls night. THANKFULLY I can practically see Huntington Market from my window. I had been kind of avoiding this place since my first and only Huntington Market experience was at the sketchy-as-hell location actually located on Huntington in Mission Hill. This one resembles that one in name only, thank God. Yes, everything is a tiny bit expensive, but it's a corner store so you really need to expect that. I paid about 50 cents more for that bag of chips than I would have anywhere else. I'll gladly pay a 50 cent convenience charge to not have to walk to CVS when it's 90 degrees at 8 PM. Maybe that's just me. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be wholeheartedly in love with Huntington Market once it starts to snow. read more

This place is the absolute best convenience store I have ever been to. I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of convenience stores and I have never seen a store with a better selection with better prices and with kinder staff. Every time I go there I feel welcomed I am greeted with kindness and warmth. This place seems to have everything that I need whenever I need it. Also Nic who is there most of the time is so incredible and so helpful if you are ever in Brighton I sincerely recommend checking out Huntington market. read more

This place is great. If you are in the need of some drinks or food quickly then this is the place to go. They have everything you could need. The workers are always very happy and nice. read more

I live next to huntington market and me and my roommates have always been wary about any food we bought there and our suspicions have been confirmed as over the last two days I have been struggling to recover from food poisoning which I immediately suspected to be caused by some eggs I bought there and ate the day it started and wouldn't you know it one of my roommates has just come down with the exact same symptoms after eating eggs from the same store he bought just today. While there is no way to prove it is the eggs that caused it you can rest assured I will never be purchasing anything from Huntingtons again. O and by the way we saw the owner unloading grocery bags from CVS onto his shelves so he clearly just buys stuff there and reprices it for two dollars more. O yeah the owner is very nice tho, got that goin for him read more

With many other convenience stores located around, one wonders how Huntington Market manages to maintain it's high prices. But alas, I must tip my hat to the husband/wife/grumpy grandfather for keeping good old fashioned American capitalism alive. Huntington stocks a variety of products, all of which can be found at other nearby places for much less money. But you don't want to go to CVS. CVS doesn't smell like a hookah bar. What you pay for in Huntington Market is the experience. You never know what your going to get. If you get milk, you could get three days before it expires or you could be too late already. You could get food poisoning from the eggs. You just don't know. Those kind of thrills just simply cannot be found at other convenience stores. I'm grateful for Huntington Market. Just about the only thing you can expect is a warm "Hello my friend" from the owner. Everything else is an adventure. That kind of inconsistent consistency is what this country was founded on. read more

Nick is such a friendly guy! Always a pleasure to see him when I stop by. Great selection of beer and wine, his friendliness makes me always want to go back. Convenient location, great overall! read more

First time in this store, so I was taking my time walking around to decide what to buy. The man up front started yelling and being extremely rude saying I'm suspicious because I kept walking around and not buying anything yet. Then when he rung me up he didn't even bag my item. Extremely rude for no reason at all. read more

I completely agree with Erik J. They were very rude and were always on the phone when completing transactions. They didn't double bag wine bottles and it easily could've broken. read more

This merchant requires a minimum purchase for credit or debit card purchases. This is not allowed by card companies. Call the # on the back of your card to report it. Very expensive, even for a small convenient store. Owner is nice. read more

I absolutely love the owner, sweetest man. Perfect little convenience store. It's great that they now sell alcohol.

For a decent sized convenience store, this one is pretty good. If you need anything real quick - milk, candy or even quarters for laundry. I usually buy my milk, juice and yogurt from here since its easy to carry it a block to my apt on Sidlaw Rd, rather than from the super market some 5/6 blocks away. read more

I don't understand where the bad reviews come in. It's a convince store not a restaurant. They're always happy and respectful whenever I go in. Always ask my how my day was and say thank you as I am leaving. Have never had a negative experience here! Every time I gon read more

Great place! Great selection and the customer service is unreal, some of the kindest people I have met in Boston!

My one stop shop! Beer, wine, milk, ice cream, candles, batteries. Honestly what do they not have? Not only do they have everything you need they are the friendliest and sweetest shop owners. Nick and his wife are such a joy and will ALWAYS bring a smile to your face. Don't be fooled by the grumpy grandpa he just takes some warming up. It's great to support the local businesses in the neighborhood and they may be a bit over priced but I would go here over Cumberland farms any day. Team nick forever. read more

The people who own and run this place are so nice and helpful. I asked if they had something, and their response was "we don't carry it but we can order it"... And they did! Who does that? They made a loyal customer at that moment. read more

Love this place! The owners are super friendly and always in a great mood. Huge selection of non perishable food, surprised by some of the random items they have in stock, best corner store in the area! read more

Stopped in here to pick up some cereal with literal zero expectations to have any emotions about this place, BUT the man who welcomed us and checked us out was so exceptionally friendly and kind. It comforts me to know that this guy is out there being nice to all his customers. I never thought I could have a favorite convenience store, but this place is #1 read more

I've lived on this block for the last two years and I've felt fortunate to have this corner store a few steps from my door. I think the people writing negative reviews don't get the point. Of course the prices are high. These people eke out a meager profit because they only sell a small amount of things to people who live within a couple blocks. They probably don't do enough volume to buy from a commercial supplier who would sell things to them at a lower price. The point is, that for a small corner convenience store, they do a very good job of stocking a wide variety of items and keeping those stocks current - there's always a few of everything. I'm always able to find milk or eggs where the expiration date is at least a week away. The other day I realized that I wanted gravy to go with some roast turkey I'd bought at Trader Joe's - no problem - Heinz turkey gravy was among the sauces and condiments Huntington Market stocks. I was able to grab it and in 45 seconds be back in my apartment eating my dinner. The family that runs this store does a good job of being aware of what the clientele in their neighborhood wants, and stocking a good variety of it. And, the husband/wife/grandfather that work there are always very friendly. read more

Was not aware that there was a minimum for paying with credit card so I said I would just buy it some other time since I had no cash on me. Got yelled at and flipped off read more

The customer service there is great. Very friendly and helpful. They do a good job of keeping a variety of items in stock too. The only downfall was that the store has a strange smell but I bet this could be eliminated easily! Overall great experience. read more

I recently purchased a bottle of wine here, and I was walking home the bag ripped and the bottle smashed on the ground. No funny business, just a simple accident. I went back and the clerk was extremely mean about it, trying to tell me I had carried it wrong, and that I was my fault. All I wanted was a simple refund, and I just felt like an idiot as I walked away. Very unfriendly service here and I don't recommend. Also, the clerks are always on the phone while processing orders. It's very uninviting and unprofessional. read more

The owner is the nicest guy and is always really friendly. Best convenience store in the area

I stop here once in a while. I would shop here more but the customer service is very poor. However the last time I visited this store I purchased a pack of Cigarettes and when I opened them the glue holding the pack together was so old the pack started to fall apart. Then when I took one out I noticed that the cigarettes were yellow. Normally paper white. They were also very very hard and stale. I did not smoke any & When I tried to return the pack for a refund or even a fresher pack the man was about to do it, then the other older man started flipping out on me. Screaming that it's not his problem and it's the company. Which obviously was not true. I'm sure they were fresh 5 years ago when they got them. I took the yellow cigarettes and left. I will never return to this store. If they have no problem selling old cigarettes I bet they have other merchandise such as food that is old too. Save yourself the trouble of bad merchandise and horrible customer service and go somewhere else. You'll be happy you did! read more
