Truly everything you need for a great RoadTrip!! Hot soups for winter! Homemade granolas.... Lots o liquor ! Just had a hot soup that mom could have made. read more

Considering where this is and being that it was winter, this place rocks. We showed up with nine people for lunch and I'm thinking there is no way they are going to have enough food and it will be marginal at best. I was wrong on both accounts. The burritos were really good and had a great hot sauce to go with them. The service is just checking out at the register and we sat on the curb and ate. So, the atmosphere was cool clear and open. I would defiantly recommend stopping here. read more

Neutral experience. Only one of the foods I got was actually tagged with a price. Food is spendy. 8.99 for a dozen eggs, $7.99 for sliced cheese etc. Man at the register was polite and if you need to just pick up two or three things it is convenient. read more

Lee Vining is a small town and Mono Market is a great market. It carries a good selection of food items and other supplies. Our cabin is in June Lake and the grocery store there is larger but sometimes I find food items like vegetables looking better at Mono Market. It's convenient when we drive through Lee Vining to shop at Mono Market. There are shops down the street and across the street. The people whom work there are very friendly and courteous. I love the vintage market, it's in the original shape and is clean inside. read more

Good selection of items, including fresh produce, however - I was shocked that a single loaf of bread cost me $6.80

Great prices for the area and a surprisingly large selection of groceries--perfect for picking up anything you forgot while camping. Super convenient stop with everything you need! read more

I wish they'd update the signs on their produce. They have gala apples marked as "organic" at 3.29 a pound, yet the apples are stickered with "4000" series labels, meaning they're conventional, not organic. I also wouldn't buy anything that doesn't have a price sticker on it. You should be able to determine the price on a jar of olives before it's scanned at the register. I skip shopping here whenever possible. read more

Excellent and friendly service. Wide variety of items. Hot food. Great organic produce. This is a great place to stop by and stock up on items if you're traveling. I would definitely come again. read more

Gayle and I took a Sunday road trip yesterday, starting in Genoa and going as far as the beginning of the June Lake Loop before returning home. In between was Mono Lake, Bodie, and a variety of stunning scenery. Once we arrived at Lee Vining, there were only 2 thing on our mind: finding a bathroom and finding snacks. The former was found at Gus Hess Community park and the later at the Mono Market (which outside the Shell station, seemed to be the only thing open in town). The store has a distinct red frontier exterior appearance. Inside is fairly large, with a large section of alcohol up front and a variety of maze-like aisles. I went for the chicken burrito (back right), while Gayle picked out cheese, jerky, and chocolate. After we left, we proceeded to a picnic table at the Mono Lake County park, and took in a beautiful sunny day with nice water views. This kind of local grocery store is usually a 3-star experience for me. But, there is a nice selection and the folks here were working hard and making sure our shopping experience was safe. That's worth a lot these days. read more

This store won my heart over with how seriously they are taking their safety measures during this COVID-19 pandemic. Mono Market made me feel safe by enforcing their mask policy (which is also the state's mask policy). They also made me feel proud because the employees were able to stand up for their own safety by educating customers to wear their masks properly or to leave the store. Most employees that work with the general public (I am one of them) never imagined being tasked with the burden of educating and enforcing these public safety measures, so when I see a business doing such a good job of it, and not taking any terrible excuses from customers, it makes me proud. So, thank you, Mono Market! The plastic barrier dividing the cashiers from the customers was also a reassuring measure. Regardless, Mono Market truly has the best selection of groceries in the area. We picked up instant coffee, sugar, milk, champagne, fresh veggies, and soap, among other necessities. Prices seemed fair to me, considering they have the best selection of product in the Yosemite area. Coming from Tahoe myself, you pay a little bit more to be where you actually want to be. Keep up the good work! read more

Do not come here, they will scam you. They scan items multiple times and scan barcodes that charge you extra over the price they list. The dude literally scammed me and I had him reverse it. read more

The Mono Market is a cool little grocery store found in the small town of Lee Vining, CA. They're big on shopping local, therefor they offer a lot of environmentally friendly and locally sourced/produced products. They make fresh, hot food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All of which is very reasonably priced. I've never personally tried anything on their menu as I've just found out about this fact, but next time I'm through I'll be sure to stop by and try something out. The few times I've stopped in here for some snacks for hiking I've always been greeted with a warm, "hello", and was always sent away with a, "thank you for stopping by". The customer service here, in my experience, has always been good. Stop by and support a local company who does a lot of good for their community. They donate, help the local schools, pay their employees a livable wage, etc. Businesses like this one are the ones that'll earn my money time after time. read more

Yup, still awesome! We went to stock up on some lunch items to picnic with on our drive across 108, and as usual Mono Market did not disappoint. I tried their chicken burrito and holy smokes, this was the best burrito I've had in recent memory. The chicken was obviously homemade in a tomato-broth stew, with carrots and bell peppers amongst it. Rice was perfect and not used as a chintzy filler. Perfectly seasoned as well. And to top it off, cheese was evenly distributed and was gloopy! WOW. Will be getting this on all my return trips to the Eastern Sierra! read more

Amazing selection of liquor, that you cannot get anywhere else in the surrounding area AND as an added bonus we found our favorite chocolate bar here in the candy section. Great place to stop with items you would never expect this far out read more

I love this market but several times I've seen them scan a more expensive drink twice instead of scanning the two beverages separately. They are stealing small amounts of money from their customers. read more

Cute, local, well-curated grocery store. It's like the "food mart" part of gas station: if everything was delicious and you wanted to buy it all. Everything in here is quality, even if the prices can be a little high. It's kind of like a small-town, local "Whole Foods". Great beer selection too. Perfect place to grab a breakfast burrito or two before a big climb (Fairview Dome, in our case) up in Tuolumne Meadows. read more

Stopped in here on our way back from a backpacking trip. Just wanted to get a couple of cold beers. Prices were high, but I fully expected that. They had a small selection in the back of singles, along with the others - six packs, 12 packs, and 18 packs. Found a couple of singles, pint size aluminum bottles, and paid the bill. I added it up even with taxes and deposits to be about 3 1/2 to 4 dollars, using the sticker price that was on each can. After getting in the car and driving to a nice location to enjoy a beverage, I started looking at the receipt. For some reason, dude charged me like five bucks! I couldn't figure out why the price was so much higher than the prices that were stuck to the cans. I suppose that's how these little places make their money! Well, I will watch a little closer next time! Fool me once, shame on me! Fool me twice? Well, you know! Live and learn! Are read more

Love this little Market.!! They really do seem to have EVERYTHING I need, from basics, to unbelievable deserts, and the Mono Burrito..!! I can even find my vapes here..! What an amazing owner... he's right on top of the latest things..!! He's also extremely nice..!!! read more

We stopped in for sandwiches to take on our hike. Food and service was good. A little pricey like most things in the area.

Was well located near the entrances of Tioga pass. The baked goods seemed reasonably priced and were better than average. This store has all you'll need for food in preparation for a hike. It's much closer to Tioga Pass than the nearest towns as well. read more

Mono Market is my stop in Lee Vining and it's a comfort to stop here when the rest of the town is hibernating and the snowy roads aren't exactly user-friendly. This is a great place to get the basics and fill your stomach with hot soup, burritos and other warm items that give you the courage to tackle the roads all over again. read more

The owner and/or manager is extremely rude, and does not adhere to the covid guidelines by staying 6 ft. from others (while she directly yells in others faces). People like this should not be in any customer service related job. read more

As a local I wont be back. Went in today to get some groceries with a mask on. It fell under my nose while paying and this older white nasty lady proceeeddd to verbally harass me about my mask, and then goes on to harass other customers. Attitude is everytbing. If she would have been kind and asked me or let me know I had to adjust it it would be fine. But to be called and idiot and screamed at in public. read more

Great little market with amazing selection of alcohol. Owner was very kind and helpful. Definitely recommend stopping by here on your road trip. Great snacks too. read more

The old white lady who mans the store was rude and the price was too expensive. Please don't go to this store- there's other stores that is around and more pleasant people. With this pandemic, people has to be nicer to each other- she told my 3 year old daughter to get out of the store since she was not wearing a mask. Don't go out of your house if yo I are that afraid. read more

Oh how I wish there was a store like this at the entrance of every National Park! Such a cute little building which fits its surroundings so perfectly! We came in for coffee one morning before we entered Yosemite. Mainly a grocery store, but fully stocked with all you could ever need up in the mountains. From protein bars to basic needs like bread and milk, to bug spray, sunblock, bandaids and beef jerky. They even had a few souvenirs to take home with you. Yes, they did have coffee! It was great and it was local (I always like that), plus yummy pastries and espresso drinks to satisfy those suffering form Starbucks withdrawal. I was so delighted by what I found in that little store, that I complimented the cashier, who happened to be the owner. This little store is the Walmart of the mountains... you'll just get a lot better service and an actual pleasant experience! read more

Love Mono Market & the friendly staff! Stop by every summer during our Eastern Sierras family trip. Mono has all the basics & more, great alcohol bev selection. Lucky Lottery Scratchers! read more

As expected in this small town, Mono Market is tight and jammed packed with stuff. It's the cool everything market from sundries and food/water/soda (and produce) to fishing stuff and beer - some ready to eat hot foods and cold ice cream ready to be scooped to a cone. If you thought no more could be edged in, there's also an ATM, Lotto, and liquor. This little town store gets big town busy. Don't climb on the bronze bear out front. Instead, let money roll off his tongue. read more

We're so grateful for Mono Market! We come to this area for three weeks every year, and having this nice, well-stocked market is a blessing. They carry a good selection of fresh produce, much of it organic, a good freezer section, and just about every staple we need, also much of it organic. Prices are reasonable (especially considering the remoteness) and the staff is friendly and helpful. Julian was there most of the times we shopped, and he was great. Thank you, Mono Market! read more

Extremely rude. Walked in with a double stroller (same size as a wheelchair) and she told us it was too big and anything we broke we would pay for, rolled her eyes and walked away. Then thanked us for getting out of her store. So sad. read more

The ready made hot food was surprisingly decent - leagues ahead of the crap you'd find at a 7-Eleven or gas station mart. At night, when there aren't a lot of options, I was so happy to see their small pizzas. I didn't get to try their burritos - will make sure to taste it next time. They also had the usual snacks and foods. This place was a nice find and the hours were great too. Cashier people were nice to boot. The only downside was their coffee - go elsewhere for that. Street parking. read more

Our family has had a cabin on Mono for years. We know that going to this store has been expensive in the past but it has gotten even more atrocious with the prices in the last several years. We usually shop before we come out for this reason, however sometimes we will need more milk and necessities that run out before our stay is done. Tonight we went in here and a half gallon of milk was almost 5 dollars. When we tried to ask the clerk why the prices were so high she was extremely rude and told us to go to Mammoth to shop and that she NEVER gets complaints about the prices. My husband put the things back that we were going to purchase except for the ice cream already promised to our 6 year old and told her that because she was so rude and the prices were so high they lost a sale. She said our "small sale was nothing anyway" "Have fun in Mammoth" But this place is not worth the prices to begin with. Though it's understandable that getting goods shipped to their location would mean a price increase these prices are exorbitant. If we are going to get treated like garbage on top of it we will continue to go to Mammoth. Americans are struggling financially as it is. Vacations are skipped altogether due to the cost of living. This store does not help those of us who manage to save for vacation and need a few necessities. read more

I am so impressed with the Mono Market!! They are a tiny little store, but they manage to pack it with everything GOOD. And the prices are not bad - some are better than those in Bishop! For example, Avalon Organics Lavender Shampoo - at the Rite Aid in Bishop that stuff is $12, but at the Mono Market it is $9. Most things in Lee Vining are more expensive than elsewhere - the gas is the highest price in the eastern Sierra! And there's a reason for that - it's far/hard to get to/not on regular trucking routes for many things. Tioga Pass is only open in summer and commercial trucking isn't allowed through the Park, so you expect higher prices. I kept finding things that were around the same price or even cheaper than where I live in Bishop at the Mono Market, though, so they are really doing what they can to keep prices down - I was impressed. But on to the selection! I was up staying with friends for the weekend for the Mono Basin Bird Chautauqua, and came in for snacks and quick lunches, and that's when I discovered their "Mono Made" items - they have homemade delicious goodies that are very reasonably priced - I had the turkey wraps two days in a row they were so good. The turkey club wrap is made with bacon - and it manages to stay yummy and crisp (in most pre-prepared sandwiches, the bacon can get soggy or limp) - but it's all the other stuff that goes in that makes it such a treat: nicely chopped red onions, radishes, cucumber, and all wrapped in a nice leaf of greenleaf lettuce inside a spinach wrap. Another turkey wrap has cranberry sauce in it and is so good!! They have a small hot deli, too, with homemade burritos that looked tasty. I didn't try all the Mono Made items, but I bet most are great. They have a great selection of gourmet/natural foods type items - a much better cracker selection than Von's in Bishop, for example, and a surprising selection of produce for such a small produce section - they have arugula! I can't find Arugula in Bishop! Before it was bought by the current owner, it was an awful, but what you'd expect, mini-mart with everything in there "Little Debbie" or Springfield brand junk. But it has been transformed into a great community market with delicious food - I could happily live off of their food! read more

I'm a always surprised at the great selection and reasonable prices at Mono Mart especially given the popularity of the price gouging, mediocre Mobil Mart, just down the road. Think a Lee Vining-sized version of Bishop's Manor Market. They have a small selection of prepared foods in addition to produce (including things like fresh shitake) and dry goods. If you want to listen to bands and drink beer on a lawn then Mobil's your place, but if you want to restock your supplies at a legit grocery store then head to Mono Mart. read more

I think this is the only place to buy food stuffs in Lee Vining, it was the only place I saw when I was there. They are stocked with a great selection of Organic Produce! I was really surprised to see that and was happy to buy lots of fresh fruits for breakfast and hikes the next day. The deli/hot food counter changes daily so you can get yummy things like hot dogs or enchiladas if you want. They have your assorted grocery items also, with fresh local eggs if you are lucky and have a kitchen to cook the eggs close by. A large selection of booze makes me think this is also the local LQ, prices are reasonable and I didn't require any fancy Pinots to get me through my trip so it worked out well. A simple Jack and coke works wonders sometimes. read more

This market is FANTABULOUS! It has everything! Organic coffee, real 1/ & 1/2, apple strudel, natural black licorice, a huge variety of fine wines, Mono power bar, lots of gourmet products and more! Quality vs Quantity! OH YEAH! LOVE IT! Wish we had a store like this where I live! read more

not really special store, but the location is great. food, maps, ice, snack. most things during camping can be found here. read more

We shopped for our dinner food in this market for 3 nights while we stayed in a cabin next door at the Lake View Lodge. The staff is friendly. We were surprised at how upscale the food selection was. Fresh vegetables, meats, wines & microbrews and lots of gourmet items. The food choices were so nice we didn't eat in a restaurant the whole time we were staying in Lee Vining! ATM limited to purchases of $5 or more, no cash back. read more
