Great place for a convenient stop in the island. Enjoyed the pizza and regularly go for beers or a quick coffee and breakfast pastry. Nice people working there that have been there for years. Supermarket vibes. read more

Islander Marketplace - Pepperoni pizza - Specialty Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

First of all the staff doesn't even speak English! None of them! It's almost like you are bothering them if you don't speak Spanish. The food is terrible! The groceries are extremely overpriced l! It's just a complete rip of! I mean if it was 20-30% more I would understand but no! Things are 3 times more than the prices at the supermarket!!! Why??? It's not like they have to take a helicopter or ferry to bring merchandise! read more

The sandwiches are good. Danny does a good job. Prices are Miami. What I don't like is the presentation. Above these beautiful baked goods they have condoms, pesto dismal and other meds. WTH!!! It's gross. The back has all these empty refrigerators. With minimal money and a couple days work. They good rearrange this store and make it more appealing. Ownership simply does not care. read more

Pretty useful knowing it's the only place around. Extremely pricey for normal groceries but good food overall. Don't really like the ugly construction outside the store bc it makes the store less appealing and harder to get into. Also not loving the bright red tomato logo. But I do love the little ice cream fridge bc I've been going there since I was little. Don't hate the service bc the people are pretty nice. If ur in the area, definitely try the pizza. read more

Islander Marketplace - Mini ice cream fridge - Specialty Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

I work in Brickell key so for me this place is like home! Most of the staff are latin and very very nice. Would definitely recommend the tequeños, coffee, wraps and sandwiches. The place is clean and has tables inside and outside. It is a little bit overpriced but is the only market in the island. read more

My husband and I had two great experiences here while visiting our daughter. We dined on the patio for lunch and took out for dinner. We appreciated the variety in prepared foods we had to choose from for dinner and had the meatballs, lasagna and eggplant. For lunch, we had a fantastic chicken curry wrap and a panini. It's convenient to be able to purchase everything from coffee and pastries in the morning to wine at night. The staff were all very friendly and efficient. We look forward to stopping in again during our next visit! read more

Great service, the staff is very friendly, you can find I would say 90% of the things you will need.

As one of the only options in Brickell Key, this place carries a plethora of items. You can purchase wine, sandwiches, grocery items, candy and even rum cake! I suggest trying the curry chicken in a whole wheat wrap (runs you about $10). Pressed juices are already made and sitting on ice for $4.50 which is a steal compared to local juiceries. Is that a word? Beware there is lots of candy and ice cream in the entrance. Your child will make you buy something. My 16 month child insisted on a $7.99 toy fan that contained candy inside. read more

Islander Marketplace - This place is a candy trap! - Specialty Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

I live here the key and the marketplace is the best. If you want a quick, yummy, and affordable meal- go to the hotbar and grab something to eat. Everything is truly delicious! The only mediocre dish I've had from here is the pizza (not sure if it was just a bad day) but still a solid 5 stars as everything else about this place is great. The ceviche, chicken nuggets, Milanese, burritos, pasta, calzone, mushrooms, juices, coffee, - all great. This place feeds brickell key and if you are taking a walk around the island you should definitely stop by to grab a nice bite :) read more

I live on Brickell and frequently walk to Brickell Key, I'm not a regular but I have been in Islander Marketplace a number of times. Today I went with my daughter who has also been there, we enjoy the open quiet space (eat in) and the prepared food and sandwiches are always good. Today we walked past the counter-no one at the cashier at that moment, and sat at the adjacent seating to eat (we've done the same before). About five minutes in, I hear someone shouting and thought maybe a fight broke out in the kitchen. As it turns out, it was the owner from behind the counter, shouting across the entire space at us, "hey, you must pay first", "hey, you must pay first", I turned to look and everyone in the market stopped to stare at my daughter and me; my daughter was humiliated and I was angry. On the way out, I went to the woman and asked if she were the owner, and she said yes. I asked her tongue in cheek, if they had problems with regular looking people chowing down Greek salads, then sprinting out the front door without paying only to blend in with the island's millionaires? She didn't understand, so I asked her why she didn't come to our table rather than shout across the restaurant, that we needed to pay first? She said she was sorry but... we needed to pay first! Alrighty then, I'm thinking I'll take a break from the Marketplace for a while. Thad W Brickell read more

This market has all of the random things I love including great wines (Bordeaux, Italian, Sparkling, high end California), multiple international chocolates, coffee, shortbread cookies, and Diet Guarana. Like most of the building markets in Brickell, I found the shopkeepers to be very reserved with their customer service skills. They almost seem annoyed with their clientele. Perfect for grabbing food/drinks of quality and convenience. Prices are fair. read more

I don't know what happened here as this place started great and has fizzled into an average at best food quality spot. When I went here a couple days ago I found my egg salad sandwich to be bland and without any outstanding taste. My dad ended up throwing away the spinach and feta pie that he got. As far as a convenience store it will do the job but I'm not here for groceries. Let's get the food quality back where it belongs. It would be a real shame as this is one of only a handful of places to eat on Brickell Key. Also as a note, staff should be able to communicate in both languages, had a bit of an issue with English only speaking friends. If you are looking at your yelp reviews then you know there is a problem brewing. read more

It's SO convenient..................... But.... $11.49 for the same milk that costs $4.59 in Publix. Really?!!! This place is overpriced and constantly the employees behind the counter are giggling amongst themselves and then look at you as if you've interrupted their conversation. No matter how many times I come in and say hello, they ignore you and see you as an inconvenience. read more

This place is ripping customers off!! I juts bought eggs and did not realized how much I paid for them until o for home. 9$ for a dozen eggs, I like to know how the hell can they justify the price ??? There is a reason why they hide their prices, they know what are they doing. read more

Islander Marketplace - The eggs must be very special to be this pricey !!! - Specialty Food Near Me - Miami, Florida

Overpriced, poor food selection, bad service and attitude. I would rate them zero stars but is not possible. The location is a gold mine otherwise they would be out of business. read more

People are so nice and everything I've gotten has been amazing! My favorite thing is to get some salad and pizza and go sit outside on the cute patio or walk down by the bay. read more

This place is very convenient for those who live in Brickell Key. Just a nice short walk, and there's 30 minute parking too if you're going in your car. I can always stop in and grab a few last minute things I might need for cooking. They also have wine, a selection of desserts, salad bar and little deli area, as well as small cafe area. I would like this place more if the staff were a bit more friendly. I just can't help but feel that customer service isn't very good, especially the ladies who work at the register- they're not too friendly. :( So that's my only issue with going there. read more

This is a great marketplace in Brickell Key with a little bit of everything. I worked in the offices nearby and would frequent The Islander on a regular basis. There are plenty of options for breakfast and lunch like their salads, wraps, and sandwiches. They also have warm menu items in the front bar. Feeling like some dessert? There's plenty of that too! Oh, and you can get your coffee at the check-out counter. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors; especially for beautiful days. The missing star is for the price. Of course, it's to be expected to be a little expensive since it's on Brickell Key but, unfortunately, some of the prices are 40-50% more expensive than going to Publix or a market in other parts of Miami. read more

Good for a fast lunch if you live right nearby--I wouldn't go out of my way, but given the area, this is a solid choice for a fast, cheap-ish lunch. This isn't a great marketplace for provisioning a kitchen--more of a spacious, upscale New York bodega. The freshly prepared food took far too long. A couple people in our party had sandwiches & wraps, which were tasty and cost about $9. One had a pizza, which was the best lunch any of us ordered, and was excellent--but took 20ish minutes of waiting in line. I had the lasagna, which was insufficiently warmed up and just okay. We sat at the tables outside; there's seating indoors too, but sort of noisy and less pleasant. $2.50 ATM fee. read more

It's not a surprise to see so many bad comments, really bad service from management, they are a few nice employees that are better off working somewhere else since they don't belong to such a bad management, I can understand prices can be higher because of location but they are really outrageous, if you are going to charge so high for your products we should expect excelente service at least or just the basics, the little cafeterias in little Habana you get better service and nice people that become your friends and food is great and cheaper, hope they can realize and make it better for their clients that are the ones keeping there business open. read more

The Islander Marketplace provides the great neighborhood market that we all need. You can stop in and pick up a few necessary basics but also find fresh sushi, soups, salads, and hot sandwiches. Simple outdoor seating is available for those wanting to grab a quick bite. A small but impressive sweet selection is also available. read more

Don't plan on coming to the islander market if you don't speak Spanish. Aside that no one speaks English, the service is pathetic and the cashiers are straight up rude. To top it all off a piece of pre-made lasagna, that's right, pre-mad lasagna cost $14. If it weren't next to my girlfriends apartment I would never go back, but until then I will be forced to stop in there and again simply because it's the only choice on bk. read more

This place is what I missed most after I moved from Brickell Key. It had great sandwiches, salads and pizzas and the staff was super friendly. I no longer have anything to miss. I went by with a friend today (after I had raved about it for 10 minutes). What a disappointment! The menu is completely different and boring and the staff is awful. I swear a sloth has more energy than the girl working at the sandwich counter. read more

The Islander is a must-have for people living on Brickell Key. It's a great spot to pick up some missing essentials if you're cooking at home, or to pick up some prepared foods. They have a pizza oven and they make a decent slice. They have some nice baked goods as well. This location used to be a Gardner's and was then sold and became the Islander Marketplace. Some things have changed, but one constant remains...the sandwich station. They really do make a great sandwich and it could possibly be the best deal the store has to offer. Many items you'll find here, like milk, eggs, cheese, wine, etc. are overpriced. I'm sure that's due to two things...a captive audience of people living and working on the island and to cover what is undoubtedly high rent. As I just mentioned, try not to go here for the essentials unless absolutely necessary (as there is no value in these things), but be sure to try a sandwich and some of their prepared foods. Although, another warning is that their prepared foods used to be a much better value and now have become a bit pricey for a food that is not coming "made to order." You could have a sit-down meal for the same price. Overall, the location is clean, friendly and offers a great service to the people of Brickell Key. read more

Working on Brickell Key, there's not many dining options around, but luckily Islander is around to provide some great grub. I'm not lying when I say this place sells everything. A self-service salad bar, a sandwich station, hot food specials, by the pound food options, pizza made to order, burgers made to order and a good selection of desserts are only some of the goodies at Islander. I stick to the salad bar on most days, but I've tried a great deal of the food and it definitely hits the spot. No matter what you have a craving for - Islander can hook you up. Downside? This place is EXPENSIVE. No surprise as it's the main food locale in Brickell Key (unless you want to drop some serious bills at Azul at the nearby Mandarin Oriental). The staff at Islander is always pleasant and helpful, often joking around with the customers and quickly attending the large lunch crowd. read more

First, I got food poisoning here. Ate a seafood salad. Asked if it was fresh. Told it was. That night, vomiting, fever, in bed for three days. The market is also totally overpriced. Get ready to pay just about double on the items you buy such as milk, cheese and especially beer. Last time I checked a six pack of Budweiser was more than $12. I like Budweiser but not that much. The wine is affordable, however. I'll definitely never eat here again and that's too bad because I live on Brickell Key. Oh well. read more

Worst service!! Over priced, every time we order the order always comes messed up. Today we find out that not only the prices increased, the portions are significantly smaller. I ordered dinner including mix veggies that came to me looking like some one puked that stuff out. I do not recommend them anymore as their service went to the dump read more

There is a lady who works here (blond) and she treats everyone horribly (the residents of the island , guests and even her co-workers) ; I live in the island and I went in with some of my guests and she treated my guest so bad I was sooo embarrassed with my guests.... this is not the 1 st time she does this ; i've seen how she treats others including her co-workers . I love this place but I am avoiding to go to this place just not to see this unprofessional lady read more

Worst customer service ever. Haven't seen one person from the staff who isn't rude. They act like they're doing us a favor with an awful attitude. read more

High quantity products. High prices. High negative attitude from the staff. They succeed because they have a captive customer base on the island. read more

They have everything! Customized salads, sandwiches, pizzas, and all kinds of hot foods. Everything is fresh! Also the added bonus of a wonderful location in Brickell Key! read more

Nice place...had no idea this was on the key and I live very closeby too. It could server other Brickellites as well; however, I've seen no advertising from this place. MIght stop back for a sandwich or a quick dinner. This place is a good alternative for preprepared foods. For convenince, I'd shop here instead of the Fresh Market in the Grove. read more

For those of us who live here you will understand where I am coming from when I write this. For those of us from the north(like me originally) you may not. When you live and work in Miami many of the blessings of living here are lost on us; not because we do not appreciate them...but because we are seldom ever there. We go to the ocean the same number of times as visitors (if we are lucky) and actually enjoy the great climate only once in a while. We head elsewhere to vacation. The Islander Marketplace has that feel of tranquil vacation that I knew growing up. Miami is a big city and has that big city hustle and bustle in most parts. When you are a local here you never get to enjoy that relaxing outdoor meal by the water. This place gives you that feel. When I go I usually order a pizza or a calzone if they are offering them that night. Their gelatto is outstanding and their selction of take away items are tasty as well. Like everyone else has said...the place is a little more expensive than other "marketplaces" but if you think of it as a restaurant it is actually quite affordable and quite enjoyable. Great for a quiet night alone, with kids or perhaps even a date. read more

The service is so so bad, the cashiers don't know how to handle public and welcoming clients... Food is good and they have good stuff.

I absolutely love this place! I always walk here to get a quick bite to eat and it always is satisfying. Food is fresh and delicious. A bit overpriced on things like wines though they have very good ones. The people are always nice there and the location is beautiful. read more

My wife constantly goes to buy food or to eat lunch. I never saw why she would but until Saturday at 1:00 P.M. ,I was bored as hell and the TV wasn't working. Then 5 minutes later my wife asks me to go and get groceries with her and I thought " should I or not go with her?". But why not, I'm bored as hell. So we walk to place and first thing I see is a cafe and tomatoes painted on a wall. I go inside and first thing I see is a huge section of candy and chocolate. We looked at our grocery list and it said lettuce, broccoli, American cheese, turkey, steak, tomatoes, white bread, milk, cocoa puff cereal, potatoes, eggs, salmon, sausage, cream cheese, and dog food. The space was a little problem. The atmosphere was not fit. We got everything we needed here. But before I got to go back home, I grabbed a chocolate Hershey Bar. But for some reason I rather have gone to Publix. read more

The Islander is a great place to pick up a quick and healthy lunch. Especially if you work on the island! I usually love getting their soups to add onto my salad. Their pizza is also amazing. The only con is that their prices are a little overpriced due to its convenience. read more

Wow this market is going down fall for the past 3 months, there is no selection of foods. They used to have more organic and variety of stuff, now everything is just plain horrible. Customer service is terrible and no one there is helpful. I asked to speak with the manager that was always there for many year and he doesn't work there anymore, he was the only helpful person. Hopefully they get someone with his knowledge soon. read more

That's a very nice gourmet grocery on Brickell Key. They make fresh sandwiches that you can enjoy on outside patio.

Wonderful little place on brickell key, just to the left after you cross the bridge. It's a cute little market with great cheese and wine as well as other gourmet leaning groceries. They also make great sandwiches - they have a huge selection but I tend to love the club on baguette, or chicken salad. They also have a nice salad bar and a section with prepared foods and salads behind a counter (like whole foods) and have a great selection of juices and regular and natural / different chips. For lunch they have a nice patio area to eat outside as well as seating inside. Nice little work-week sandwich / salad spot in brickell. read more
