Great staff clerks horrible owner mean and disrespectful I went in and he was very rude to me mind you I shop there almost every day .the clerks are very nice and do there job never had a problem with them very respectful read more

Great staff! Especially Morey & Andy. Very helpful. Knows the various beers & chips to purchase. Good customer service & attentive.

The last of the Mohicans. This deli is one of the few that lets you sit down and eat. You can order a sandwich or beer. Deli's used to be like that before all the homeless started taking advantage sleeping, urinating and defecting in and around the stores. I started using it when I became a 12th Street Gym member. It's clean and the cashier is helpful. They don't make you feel like a thief when you are just looking around. You get a lot of that in Chinatown. The selection of Beer is actually pretty good too. read more

OMG. I couldn't believe this small convenience store would have the only chocolate that i was craving for since I moved to the states three years ago. Yes they got MALTESERS. in addition to other cadbury products from UK. This place is amazing and the prices is surprisingly cheaper than what you expect. last night i bought Nestle coffee choice from Walgreens, and i found it at Pac a Deli $2 less than what i paid. The staff is so cool and kind not to mention PAUL, he is friendly and helpful. Since i live across of it i go there at least once or twice a week if not more. Again, if you are addicted to Dairy milk, flake, twirl or crunchie now you know where to find them ;) Three Yelps! read more

I frequently find myself in Pac-A-Deli buying Double-Stuf Oreos, coffee Häagen-Dazs, and whole milk on Sunday evenings... I'm not sure why the urge to binge strikes so reliably at around 10pm on Sunday, but it does. And it's a good thing that Pac-A-Deli is close by, because all the other bodegas/delis/convenience stores in the neighborhood close super early on Sunday. But Pac-A-Deli stays open until 11pm on Sundays, slingin' six packs and junk food. BOTTOM LINE: Stays open late. Sells sixers. Has very friendly employees. read more

The only reason why this corner store (in the middle of the block) is worth writing about is that they have a decent selection of beer at a good price. Not the selection of the foodery, but cheaper. And it's my stop for soda water after visiting the PLCB on Chestnut. $5 minimum for debit, $10 minimum for credit. read more

Pac-A-Deli has taken the prize for the cheapest place in Philly I've found to buy six pack bottles of Yuengling Lager. $6.99 plus tax. While Lager isn't the greatest beer in the world, it is a staple beer (much like the Irish had potatoes). As such, I like to use it as a basis to judge whether a store's beer prices are high or low. And Pac-A-Deli's prices are low, low, low! A nice touch -- They sell both cold and room temperature beer. In the aisles you can find twelve packs of cans of your basic domestic variety. Behind the counter lies the cold selection, which is better than average. There is also a deli in the store. I didn't try any of their sandwiches, but it looked like they could get the job done. Additionally, they have your run of the mill corner store goods for sale. And if you need a place to burn off that new-found low prices beer gut, 12th Street Gym is next door. read more

Beer was EXTREMELY overpriced over $90 for 3 15-packs... That is unbelievably ridiculous. And they don't price their beer, so you have no clue what you're paying for. read more

Don't believe their hours. They lie and frequently close early. So, don't bother showing up in the last 15 minutes or longer unless you'd like to be turned away. If you want to close early, list your hours to reflect that change. Pay a few cents and change the sign to read 11:45 or 11:30. OR, when you're closing up early and someone shows up before you're closed, how about at the very least apologising and not just shaking your head at them? Very rude. If you're turning customers away before you're even supposed to be closed, you should at the very least say sorry since you're now inconveniencing AT LEAST one person. You're better off walking down the street to 7-Eleven. The only reason I don't is that they are like a block away from my work(plus they have Monster Juice Khaos). 7-Eleven has rewards and better prices. Which, unfortunately, I did not have time to walk down there before work. read more

This place rocks! They are not kidding when they say they have the cheapest six-pack prices around. Their selection of beers is adequate at best, and their knowledge about beers is abysmal. However, if I want something fancy, I can go to the Foodery. If I want Yeungling or Corona for a reasonable price, I will go out of my way to patronize Pac A Deli. In addition to the beers, it is a really well stocked little market. You can actually buy produce here, as well as full-size bottles of juice and milk, and other standard "grocery" items. The prices are a little more expensive than a grocery store, but lower than most little convenience markets. read more

Pac A Deli is the perfect spot to quickly grocery shop without the inconvenience of strolling all the way down to SuperFresh. They have all of the essentials at a reasonable price- compared to Rittenhouse Market (which is a rip off!) . They have a decent beer selection, D&W deli meats, a fresh vegetable selection and tons of frozen foods! What more could you want for a quick trip to the "grocery store". The staff is incredibly friendly and eager to help. You never have to wait for service. read more

I've lived down the road from Pac A Deli for 4 years now.... One of the best and always changing beer selections around this part of town. The best hoagies in the area as well.... read more

Pac A Deli - Hoagies always rock from this spot ..... - Grocery Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place rules. They have everything you could ever want. General convenience store stuff, fruit, weird snacks, 10,000 different kind of trendy health drinks, a deli, AND beer. Pac a Deli is way better and less expensive than the Foodery. Their cigs are not overpriced for being a small convenience store. I never ever have cash so I love that this place is credit/debit friendly with no minimum. read more

This is my go to store on my way to work or after a good workout at the gym. They have everything you need for an after workout snack or a Kombucha to help sooth your hangover. The guys behind the counter are really cool and usually strike up a good conversation if they are not slammed. Great selection of beer and pretty cheap for a 6 pack shop. read more

Your average deli. The beer selection is minimal and behind the counter hidden so it's hard to tell what they have and the workers aren't helpful. I would recommend their hoagies, they're delicious and a nice size for a good price. read more

Went in for beer and chips, duh, but they do not price their beer? I had to ask the guy behind the counter every price which is totally inefficient. Its a shame, they have a large selection but I'm not interested in getting gouged at checkout for a lousy six-pack. read more

This places reminds me of NYC in all the worst ways. Small selection of beer and way too overpriced. Thanks but no thanks.

As far as bodegas go, Pac A Deli is tied for #2 in the city. I mean, in MY rating system. In Gale's "ultimate, without equal, all-dominating" rating system. Is it the hours that are so great? Yes, but THAT's just a matter of course with bodegas. Is it the inventory? The $1 flavored Dasani water? The shelves lined with Almond Milk, packaged Indian meals on the quick, organic brownies? Yes, among other things. Is it the fresh fruit and basic produce available? Or the beer selection? Maybe it's the random items, like gourmet tortilla chips, obscure green tea drinks in the fridge, or the fact that Mario will wrap up a couple of hard-boiled eggs if I ask him.... But all these things exist in other places (except Mario - he's irreplaceable and I love him. Te Amo, Mario...) It's the people there. I look forward to the owners, the employees - It's these very same people who held down the fort under the same owner years ago when Pac A Deli existed 2 doors down on the corner. The fact that the same employees are there is not only comforting or a happy circumstance, but speaks VOLUMES as to the merit of the owner and his wife, whose faces have made mine light up for years now. They are so genuine, so real, so honest, and their employees have stayed and followed - and I daresay, they have created for themselves a family. So when I visit this Pac A Deli family each day to purchase my water or soycrisps or random odds and ends before I head over to the gym, I know I will leave with a smile. There's saucy Paul with his eyes rolling at the drunken fools that clamor for beer at 10 am, Mario with his never-yielding optimism as he makes the deli salads for the day, and everyone else there - who make up this Silver Medal of bodegas in the city, but take the gold in my heart. sniff, sniff...(Are you crying yet? They have Kleenex, I'm sure of it. In fact, I think it's I.79.) read more

In order to write this review I must admit something truly awful about myself. I drink/drank Sparks and other gross alcoholic energy drinks. About a month ago I needed a take out adult beverage for a hotel party I was attending and I was craving a Four Loko something fierce. I was way too excited to find they had Sparks here. I was not, however, super excited to see the expiration date was a whole lot of months past once I got back to the hotel and opened it. Guess they were waiting to sell the remaining cans to a sucker like me. I drank it anyway, and yes it was gross. Shhhhh. All the beers my friends purchased were safe & they sell Chex mix, which gains a star because I also have a weird affinity for Chex mix, as it goes really, really well with gross alcoholic energy drinks. read more

The two guys behind the counter said f***k you to me. I needed to purchase water and did not have any cash. I just needed a bottle of water. The two guys at the counter refused to sell it to me because it was not over five dollars and I only had a credit card. I asked to speak to the manager and they said I could call back when he was around. UNREAL. read more

First Yelp review because Pac truly the love. Paul is amazing and once saved me from a potential cooking disaster by suggesting a great substitute ingredient. They're also one of the few places I know that has Sobe water. I guess all the other folks have already mentioned all the other things the store carries. I've stopped doing groceries because this place is just so convenient! read more

The best part about living in Philly are these little corner stores. However, in parts of Philly that are food desserts (no grocery store for miles) I find these stores both frustrating (terrible fruit a lot of the times or none at all) and convenient (has random spices that I needed while I was in the middle of cooking dinner!). Because this place is sandwiched between Whole Foods/Superfresh and Trader Joes, I don't hold it to the same standards as stores further away from grocery stores. And this place is basically the epitome of a corner store smack dab in center city! It's got a larger variety of 6 packs for about 14 bucks to whole cases of Yuengling. It also has also sorts of random snacks which is the main reason why I fall in love with corner stores. Seaweed crackers? Sure, why not! Random chocolates from Israel that are addictive, ie. the chocolate hippo-- $1 for a hippo that is so freakin' good! This place has some random groceries in the back, a wall of juices and soft drinks, and a friendly guy behind the counter. Four stars it is! read more

I like to stop by this little place to grab a few items... good for snacks, deli, beer, etc. Prices are pretty competitive. There's not enough selection to stock your pantry but it's good for a stop-n-go. Oh, and the place is always clean. read more

Pac A Deli is the best. Even though their prices are way too high, they have everything you could want and their employees are really nice, especially Paul. I know that they will always be open which is a great benefit. read more

One of the few places that stacks Dunhills, they pretty much have everything you need, and 90% of it is on the counter by the register.

Pac A Deli is a reasonably priced quick market spot in my neighborhood. Service is friendly and fast and for such a small location, they seem to have a little bit of everything. Quick beer stop with snacks as well as some gourmet selections and random stuff. I find myself asking the guy "you don't happen to have..xyz..", and the answer is nearly always yes. The guy who is there regularly (perhaps the owner?) is always personable and I end up talking food with him half the time when I'm there. read more

Pac-A-Deli is a small neighborhood grocery/deli place. They have sandwiches (made on the spot), a small selection of microbrews (probably at a better price than Foodery), and your usual corner store stuff -- cigarettes, chips, soda, an ATM, etc. I personally really like their hoagies, so that's my reason for the 4* rating. read more

This place has been around for years! It's a wonderful place to grab some essentials or some snacks, if you're on the go in center city. Nice staff. Always a friendly face and a kind hello. read more

I really cannot understand the reviews for this place. I went in today (yes, they are open on Sundays) looking for the "best beer prices in Center City". Instead I found that the beer is behind the counter, making browsing impossible. Still, I planned to pick up a sixer, only to notice that the customer in front of me was paying the standard (inflated) Center City price for a six-pack. Once a visibly intoxicated bum tried to cut in front of me on line, I decided to just head over to Food & Friends. read more

Pac A Deli absolutely ROCKS! These guys have good prices on beer & They make some awesome hoagies. Always friendly service - Makes this "stranger in a strange land" feel a little bit more at home while i'm up here working. read more

This is the best convenient/grocery store in Washington Square West. Damar is extremely friendly and greets me by my first name every-time I shop there. Unlike other places in the ares, such as Jay's Deli, Pac A Deli sells beers and a large variety of food items. This is not only a great place that offers a huge variety, but the employees are genuinely nice and they are great people. read more

I've never had the food, but this review is mostly as a beer supplier and a little bit as grocery provider. The beer prices are pretty good for Philly, at least for the cheap beers (I don't have the cash for sixpack crafts that are so popular in Philly) and the service is phenomenal. They have a very limited selection of groceries, but I was impressed with their selection of frozen vegetarian products, many supermarkets barely exceed that selection and my girlfriend often needs me to pick up some microwaveable dinner for when she gets home from work). The selection of cheap beers is serviceable, you're getting a grocery store, not a distributor. I wish they'd get 12 packs of any Ice beer, but we typically just get 6 25oz Bud Ices for about the same price as a 12 pack instead. They have a credit card minimum, I believe, but I've never been close to not making it (it's either 5 or 10...) The employees are quick, courteous, and respectful. If they had more of a selection of the crappy cheap beers (Bud, Rolling Rock, Yuengling, Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite is your 12 pack lineup) that'd be awesome, but it's still a nice, convenient place to go. read more

Pac Deli is the best convenience store in midtown! I live just around the corner and it is my 'go to' store for all of my staples. The fruit is always fresh, the staff is SUPER friendly and accomodating. They have everything you need and the prices are great!! read more

Got an excellent craft beer from here. It's got a great beer selection. The fellow there was great in providing recommendations and background on various beer selections. read more

The Pac A Deli is a great place to your shopping while living in the city. Pac A Deli is a clean and friendly store. I often stop and get my weekly household needs and the prices are comparable to that of Super Fresh. I will stop twice a week and get a hoagie (Jose is the deli person and slices all the deli meat fresh) and a six pack (great selection) of beer. The staff is uber frendly and helpful, one night I was looking for a roll of quarters to do laundry and Paul pointed me to the TD bank around the corner that had later hours. I totally reccomend this Deli, especially if your a inner city person like my self. read more

Pac A Deli does in deed have everything I ever need. It's great since there isn't many other places nearby to pick something up quickly on my way home. I do find it quite pricey though and tend to only go there when absolutely necessary. Also they only take credit cards if you spend over a certain amount. And since I don't go there to pick up several items I never meet the minimum and thus have to pay cash. They are very nice and considerate there and are always fast and friendly. I just don't go often for the credit card minimum and the prices. read more

it really does not get better,,, great selection , clean, friendly , and great sandwaches made to order...

I would say its one the best priced deli"s in city center ,very good selection of beer and grocers..very helpful and friendly staff..lovit..Paul's the best!! read more

While they may have a great beer selection and the sandwich maker is one of the nicest people around, the manager is not so friendly. Bought a sandwich, brought it back because the meat was greenish in color. The sandwich maker offered to make another, the manager continued to stuff his face and said nothing. Get your beer but check your sandwich before you leave! read more
