Can be pricier than places like Stop&Shop + Star Market but they offer produce from local farms and businesses. I enjoy getting my fruits from here & go here whenever I need stuff to make asap since it's the closest market to me. I would definitely come here more often if they were open a little later; they close at 7pm daily. And yes, the parking lot can be a bit chaotic but just park towards the back, & back in so that there's no funny business when leaving ;)

I've turned a bunch of my friends on to this place, it's my favorite grocery store, I'm so glad it's close by!

Family-owned market with a salad bar, deli counter, fruits, vegetables, and more. I love getting the turkey bacon club... so good & they're very generous with the meats. Today, I was craving some simple and the turkey bacon club sandwich from here came to mind. I immediately drove over & got myself a turkey bacon club sandwich hahaha. It's funny because I'm typically not a sandwich person at all, but I love a turkey bacon club. I did a bulkie roll with extra mayo & it was exactly how I remembered it. They cut the sandwiches in half for you & I usually eat one half and save the other for later. I'm not sure if they still do Clam Chowder on Fridays, but the clam chowder from here is fire! Fun fact: Mignosa's Fruit Basket and the Fruit Center Marketplace grocery stores in Milton & Hingham are owned by the same family. Highly recommend for their sandwiches ;)

What a charming little place! We got our woodburning fireplace in our new house repaired at the…read moreend of February. It seemed silly to buy a whole quart of firewood at the end of the season, so we've been going to the grocery store. The wood is sub par, wrapped in environmentally unfriendly plastic and pops A LOT! So when we were driving past this place in Milton, we gave it a shot. They are lovely and will load firewood into your car for you. I went on my way home while wearing a suit, heels and formal coat, and the gentleman helping us out would not let me touch a log. Their wood burns very nicely and is the perfect size. There are very few pops and the wood is high quality. We recently relocated to the Boston area, and had purchased wood from another source in NY. This wood is far superior to what we had previously ordered and we plan to order it in bulk next year. Bonus points, this quaint store has nice freshly baked bread, flowers and gourmet goods as well as some staples. Only thing I would recommend is adding some Iggy's baguettes. Cute store with excellent service!

We used to order directly from Thatcher Farms but stopped getting delivery a few years ago. I still like to grab a few from here or the Fruit Center Marketplace in the square every so often. I really enjoy their chocolate milk (they sell Hatchland Farms NH & Thatcher Farms), but today I saw that they had coffee milk too! Thought that was interesting but didn't end up grabbing... I must try it next time ;) Aside from the milks, they also carry popular beverage brands like Polar Seltzer cans, Oatly! Oatmilk, Welch's juices, Newman's Own, Tropicana, etc. They also sell bread, sandwiches, snacks such as cookies and candy, and fresh flowers that are displayed outside! In the fall, they have a bunch of pumpkins for sale & in the winter time, they usually have some Christmas trees you can buy! Very cute place & highly recommend if you're in the area.

Amazingly fresh high quality meats that will seriously impress your friends. If you can't get your…read moremeat from a Farmer's Market or farm share, this is the next best choice. Kinnealey is a large area supplier to restaurants. They have a business connection with John Dewar & Co. in Newton, an amazing butcher where I used to get all my meat until I realized that this branch is closer for me. (The butcher at Kinnealey told me they own Dewar but I checked the Web sites and it doesn't say that. There is a link from Kinnealey's site to Dewar's.) Unlike chain supermarkets, where you're really not sure how long the meat has been sitting in its package, the meat at Kinnealey is kept very fresh. Like an old-fashioned butcher, there is friendly staff available to help with advice and fill custom orders. For example, depending on your needs they may grind burger meat as you wait--for example if you are buying a lot or have a special request ie. 85% fat when all that's out is 80%. Kinnealey is located inside the Milton Fruit Center Marketplace, which has the best produce I've found in the city of Boston. I'll be reviewing that separately! Anyway, you have to pay at Kinnealey separately from your groceries. I prefer several things about Dewar--mainly that your beef is always ground fresh and your steak is cut for you as there are *no* prepackaged items. Dewar is *even more* like an old-fashioned butcher of my childhood. However, given that for me Dewar is further, Kinnealey is a great option!

I was also able to learn how to crochet there for free, and they run super cute weekly events that bring families in. I'd definitely recommend stopping by as they have a great variety of vendors and plenty to choose from. Plus, there's a thrift store right at the market with amazing deals--I always stop in and usually find something special to treasure.
