Kingma's is a locally-owned market and home and garden center that's been around for 80 years. They carry a wide selection of local and Michigan-made products in this small but mighty store. I love going in and just browsing because there's so much to see. Check out the local produce, bulk snacks and treats, large deli case, meat counter, greenhouse, and more! There are always deals and sales, and I often will just pop by without a list, which is dangerous but fun. (I lead a thrilling life, I tell you what. lol) The last time Nate and I were at Kingma's, I got a pork shoulder and some delicious local Little Rooster hamburger buns to make pulled pork. The meat counter employees were helpful and friendly. We also got a beautiful potted mum from the greenhouse - they had tons of different colors and sizes, perfect for fall decor. Kingma's also houses Sparrow Coffee, a cute little coffee counter tucked away on the side of the building. There is ample parking in their designated lot, but you'll see plenty of area neighbors walking to and from Kingma's. The aisles can be a little cramped, but I think it adds to the charm. Love having this local gem near our house! read more

Kingma's Market - Meat counter - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

This is such a quaint grocery store and home to our favorite coffee shop in GR! There is a huge wall of candies, chocolate covered items and dried fruits. The produce always looks fresh and we have never had a poor tasting item. The meat/ seafood counter has a great selection. There's a mini cheese basket where you can try small amounts of each cheese, we've mostly paid $1-2 each for these! Definitely not a place you can complete all of your shopping but always worth going to. read more

Their prices are absolutely ridiculous and they just keep raising them. I was looking for a dessert that I have previously gotten that is gluten-free from rise bakery and they jacked the price up to $17 for a couple of cupcakes. The other options were eight dollars when I went there a couple months ago and purchased the same items they were half the price I won't be going here anymore. read more

I love the mom and pop store! Employees are always super friendly and helpful. Perfect spot to find organic produce.

Had a great visit to Kingma's today! I have always enjoyed going but they recently had a renovation that makes the store so much easier to get around! They focus on Local West Michigan and Michigan items which is very fun. I love their deli counter. Their deli meat is top-of-the-line, and their premade salads and sandwiches are awesome. Their meat counter is large and you'll definitely find something you like and their specialty items are fantastic! It's always a fun trip to go! I took home some loaded potato soup that you can get at the deli counter and I might be going back weekly to have it. It was so good! read more

I bought three stuffed peppers at 8.99 a pound for a total of over 17.00 dollars. The peppers was full of sausage meat not ground beef. Sausage meat is so much cheaper! You are taking advantage of customers! Shame on you! Your profit is huge! read more

Kingma's Market focuses on local products and specialty items. One of our favorite reasons to visit Kingma's is the candy wall. Behold. Every kind of candy your heart could ever desire. You can't miss it. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Check out their extensive collection of kombucha, barbecue sauce, cheese and locally roasted coffee! Yes, we know, that's quite an odd list, but trust me when I say that they have a great selection of all of these things among hundreds of other local goodies (like bread from Wealthy Street Bakery!) ⁣⁣⁣ read more

Kingmas is our go-to local market. Great place to go grab a couple of things when you're in a rush and a large selection for the size of the store. A+ for beer, wine and candy selection and also a great place to find a huge variety of local products and plants. We normally stop in a couple of times a week but now that they added a Sparrows coffee we will definitely frequent more often! read more

Mr Neumann was such a great worker. He provided me with the highest quality groceries and definitely earned Kingmas a new customer. He is definitely deserving of a raise. read more

This is honestly one of the better markets if not the best food market in Grand Rapids they have great Artisanal selections and just great quality food selections including bread and meat. The staff is so friendly!! They also have a great plant selection so this is really like a very high-quality market. It is much better than Bridge Street market any day. read more

Everyone should have a place like this in the neighborhood! Fresh produce, hand cut meats from real butchers, a quality cheese shop with knowledgable staff to answer questions, fresh flowers, a huge imported beer selection and (best yet) loads of wine. Kingma's is a gem! i stop by most evenings on my way home and cook fresh from what looks interesting. If they had a seafood counter you would never need to go anywhere else. Dave's meat counter has homemade bacon and sausage and when in season don't pass by the Soulvaki. Everyone should have a place like this in the neighborhood but not everyone is as lucky as I am! read more

Very cool little grocery store and surprisingly great selection of plants and flowers in the summer months! I bought an indoor plant that was great quality and very affordable! Not the most friendly workers so that is why I gave it a 4 store but I can get over that as the selection of unique foods and drinks was worth it! My girlfriend bought a kombucha and was amazed at the brands and variety they carried! read more

Kingma's Market - Fig tree plant - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

As long as I have lived in this neighborhood I have enjoyed shopping here. The atmosphere is very clean and classy. While the prices may be a little higher than a Meijer the reason is because of the quality of product. The produce is always fresh and fully ripe. The variety of cheeses and mixed olives has always been a big hit with my family. They also have a very large selection of craft beer and wines. I must admit that I have never used the meat counter, but it is something I plan on using this summer for steaks. read more

Kingma's Market - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I'm from Atlanta, visiting my bf's family in GRap. I had heard stories of his family grilling brauts from Kingma's, and when I was finally able to visit this week, it exceeded my expectations. Kingma's is a nice neighborhood market that would be worth a drive for if it weren't right down the street. Kingma's has an impressive wall of candies & snacks, local produce, specialty condiments and a huge meat selection. We bought house-made hot beef sticks, McClure's spicy garlic pickles made in Detroit, and Hudsonville ice cream. His family grilled brauts on our last night and they were great If I lived in GRap, I'd make Kingma's a regular stop. read more

I truly miss this place since I moved out of GR. It always smells like jerky, since they make their own in house. They have the best produce, and items you can't find anywhere else. They are pricy, but you get what you pay for: high quality local products. read more

Only our cashier was friendly. Not one other employee smiled at us. One employee stared at my family, making us feel very unwelcome. Won't be returning or recommending. Sad experience. Owners should feel embarrassed. read more

Seriously one of the best stores in GR. Their meat counter is divine, and they have all sorts of innovative and unique stuff on their shelves for everyone. (They even have Michigan old-time favorite sons Faygo and Towne Club Pop in GLASS bottles!) You will find nothing spoiled here - everything is fresh, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. I don't usually go there for full on grocery shopping, but usually to hit the meat counters, the cheese aisle and maybe some fresh fruit - and I never leave disappointed. read more

My visit for Kingma's was for recycling a milk bottle, 24 Towne Club soda bottles and 3 specialty beer bottles (that I bought, here). Success! My only problem is when I go there is I want to buy everything. The fruits and veggies look so good, bright and colorful. Plus, they have blood oranges this time of year too and I love blood oranges. I settled on a 6-pack of Epic Brewing (fm Salt Lake, Utah), a slab piece of beef jerky Cajun, and a Diet Coke. I resisted some pretty spring flowers, a really impressive hunk of blue cheese and blood oranges. There is next time and with that comes more to choose from. Plus, the people are all knowledgeable butchers, cashiers, garden, stockers, cheese, everyone. If there is something you don't see it just ask and they probably can get it for you. read more

Looking for flowers for the mother in law for mom's day and I tried to call this place for a flower delivery. First off if you're on their own website they have a phone number but no area code, so being from MA I didn't remember the area code. In this day and age shops should have area codes on their website for people to call. I finally figured it out, called and they couldn't answer my question so they put me on hold for "Bob" the other manager. Waiting for "Bob", I heard a click and the phone went dead. "Bob" must be synonymous with hang up on this guy! I went elsewhere to order my flowers. I still don't know if this place even does it. read more

This is one of my favorite places to shop in GR! The selection of beers, cheeses, fruit and veggies, bulk but packaged (fruit, nuts, chocolates) and choice cut meats is always worthy of a visit. Yes, you might spend a little more here for some items, but if you choose wisely it's well worth it. A surprising amount of great craft beers from around the country. Decent prices as well. The staff is always friendly and can answer most questions you might have. There is a nice selection of Michigan products including a good array of breads. I love the house made jerky! The BBQ sticks are awesome, but any of their sticks are tasty. Give this small wonderful market a visit if your ever in the Cheshire Village area. You won't leave disappointed. read more

Love this markets local selection. alcohol selection is great. Would like a white miso paste for convenience as I use it often in ramen and they have every other miso‍ read more

I like the meat in the meat department,but the people that work throughout this store have got to be some of the rudest that i have ever dealt with in a store like this! I will not be back here! read more

Love that they support local!!!! Surprisingly great prices and tons of unique options to choose from. My favorite place to shop.

A lovely fruit and meat market in the heart of Creston. I love coming here for the fruits and vegetables, and there are some wonderful selections of meats and cheeses. The beer and wine section is quite nice. Overall a very nice store. read more

Been here a few times as its in my neighborhood. Great cheese, fresh veggies, cheeses, and meat. That being said their pricing structure would be considered nothing short of price gouging. Coupled with some rude sales people and I do not plan to go there again. read more

Hands down, my favorite grocery store on the north side. Kingma's is small, but has a fabulous butcher counter and a broad selection of specialty foods. The wine and beer selections are extensive. Michigan-based companies are heavily featured across the store, as is seasonal produce from local growers. Customer service is fantastic! I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years and look forward to another 20 or more. I really cannot say enough good things about them. read more

Kingmas has been my market since I moved to GR, but they really let me down last night. I was shopping at 7ish on a weeknight and went to the deli counter, where I was told they would not slice cheese for me as the slicer had already been cleaned for the night. The store closes at 8. I worked at a deli in high school and we started breaking down the machine and cleaning it an hour before close, but if someone came in while we were open, we stopped and served them. Even if it meant staying late. Disappointing. read more

This is a great place shop when you don't want to go to the big box store and you want to get something quick. They have a little bit of everything. They have a big selection of cheese and Great selection of local craft beer and wine. I love how also they have a lot of local finds food. This is a fun little grocery store in Grand Rapids. if you shop there a lot they do actually remember your name too. read more

I've been a customer of this family owned business beginning when they were located at Boston Square in the SE part of Grand Rapids. I was a young child years ago when I'd go with my mother. You can find less expensive places for produce but it is fun to shop here. They have good selections of such things as beers, wines, salad dressing, crackers and lots more. I really like their meat department. Great steaks, chops, chicken, and specialty meats. Yum! Also, their bedding plant selection in the spring and summer is very good and good quality, too. All of this will just keep me coming back for lots more years! read more

Love everything about this specialty grocery store! Make sure to try their homemade lunch meat. Just go there! read more

I love this store. They have a very good meat counter. They make hams and a lot of different sausages with no MSG in them. Most of their meats and produce come from local farms. I like it that they support local farms. They have a large wine selection and I've had them order wine that they don't stock for me. read more

This is my go-to grocer when I don't go to the Fulton Farmer's Market. I've become ultra concerned about the source of my meat. Thankfully they have a list on the counter of where the meat is from. I also try to buy as many local goods as possible. I can find my bread, eggs, milk, and pasta from the Farmer's Market right at Kingma's. read more

This is an amazing little market off of Plainfield in the Cheshire Village in Grand Rapids. Often on Saturdays they have sampling of new and local beers and wine. Great meat counter! best bacon i have ever bought! Amazing brats and a wide selection of artisan breads and cheeses! Plenty of organic and gluten free options. Tons of whole bean coffee and an amazing wall of bulk food treats and snacks unlike anywhere i have been! Great deals on plants and seasonal things like fruit and veggies. Quite often they also have a seafood display with king crab and great deals on salmon and other fishes! read more

Pricey but pretty much the best selection of higher end goods I've seen, especially for beer and wine and being a neighborhood store. The meat is obviously higher quality and I've been very pleased with everything I've gotten. They also have a nice selection of cheese. The smell is heavenly and makes you want to just curl up and fall asleep here! If I had one gripe it would be the fresh produce section, it's very limited. They always have pretty good clearance beer too so that's worth a check. read more

I have been a longtime customer of Kingma's on Plainfield. I usually stop 1-2 times a month to pick up perishables - meat/cheese/fruit/vegetables. I appreciate the great quality products as well as their expansive selection. In late November, I stopped to pick up a variety of meat from Kingma's meat counter. I purchased butterfly chops, sirloin roast, and boneless skinless chicken breast. All of the cuts were wrapped individually for easy freezing/thawing/portion control. i defrosted (1) chicken breast several days later and prepared with spices and baked in a stone dish to retain moisture. The chicken was disgusting and inedible. It's texture was odd - rubbery and tasteless. I called Kingma's the next day to speak to the meat department and share my experience. The associate told me to bring the chicken back with my receipt and they would give me replacement items. I stopped a few days later with chicken and receipt in hand. I explained the situation and advised I did not expect a refund and wanted to get something other than chicken. The associate was incredibly rude to me - 1) couldn't believe I was bringing something back, 2) they've never had complaints, 3) he wasn't going to give me any money back even if it was a $1. I left the store with my replacement items but given this experience I'm not sure when or if I will return. Maybe the associate was having a bad day and I was the target. Regardless of the reasons, this treatment should never be the norm. I support local, small businesses because I believe in our community's growth and sustainability. There are plenty of other small, family owned shops in the Grand Rapids area to explore that sell fresh cuts of meat, and flavorful, expressive cheeses made in Michigan. i imagine these businesses are looking for new customers. read more

Love kingma's!! Who doesn't!? You can get all sorts of bulk candies here, tons of food packages items, lots of organics and naturals, and I've heard their meats are excellent! I mainly adore it for the beer! There are sometimes real gems lurking about in here longer than most places! If you're on a hunt - definitely stop by! read more

Great selection of beer, wine, cheese and other specialty groceries. Recommend for anyone tired of the same old grocery stores. read more
