Very impressed with the variety at this international market. Many times stores claim to be…read more"international" but only really supply items for one culture with the exception of two or three products. That's not so with this International Market in State College! They had a plethora of Mediterranean, South American, Asian, and European products. Another great thing is it is somewhat organized by region, so you don't find random things next to each other. The store is located in an old house so you go from room to room while shopping. It can feel a little bit cramped but I was surprised by the amount of products they sell. There are lots of refrigerator and freezer goods too. The prices seem high for American groceries but as far as I can tell they are typical for an international market. I'd suggest reading other reviews and checking expiration dates. I'm new in town and have only been once but I understand they may not have high turnover for some products that may end up past their expiration. Just use your brain. Not sure if they take cards- I always assume there's a card minimum or that they don't take card so keep cash on hand. The only disappointing thing was their fresh produce. It was the size of a cocktail table and had about 6 items total. I'm sure there are other shops in town with better produce selection but as far as cultural variety, I'd say this International Market takes the cake.

It has a lot of similar things to J&C down the road, but I honestly prefer this location. The space is a bit smaller and they don't play music so it's a bit less overwhelming. There's lots of good quality items to choose from! I usually check here first for things like kimchi or bok choy because I know they'll have a good selection. The employees are nice as well! They're quite kind with everyone and it seems like they're accommodating to those with cultural differences. An employee helped a woman pick out items for a hot pot when she asked, and I was able to ask for clarification on an item that I couldn't read the label of. Overall a great location, definitely recommend!

Dear Mehmet Kurt, I…read moream a frequent shopper at your store on Hamilton Ave and really value the Turkish and Mediterranean specialties you bring to State College. I am writing to suggest that Global Foods consider launching a dedicated website to showcase your unique inventory. State College has a large international community that often searches online for specific items such as halal meats, Turkish baklava, or imported cheeses before shopping. A website would make it much easier for us to: View your current stock of fresh specialty imports. Confirm store hours for the week. Help students and new residents find the only store of this kind in the area. For building the site, I recommend using platforms like Shopify or WooCommerce. Both are world-class for managing grocery inventory and are highly respected for their security and ease of use. (I specifically urge staying away from Wix due to the fact that it is Israeli). Your store provides a wonderful service to the community, and I believe a digital storefront would help even more people discover the great products you offer. I put four out of five stars because you guys don't have as many things as I would hope for an international market, but then again, it isn't a large one, so I understand inventory prioritization. Best regards, A loyal customer.

I highly recommend this market!

It's also nice that they open packages and offer the purchase of individual items like candies and snacks (2/$1-5/$1, etc.) that way you can try a little bit of everything and you aren't stuck with a package of 50 if you don't like it!

Nice to have a small chinese grocery near the university…read more Standard stuff: frozen dumplings, prepacked ramen, pocky, snacks, mochi, and chinese condiments. Pretty reasonable selection and well laid-out store. Pricing is hit or miss -- most of it is pretty typical for the area, but it depends on what you buy.

For example, I purchase Canadian bacon before moved last July at $6.99/#. Maple syrup would be a good item as well and their homemade chicken salad, ham salad, macaroni and potato salads are awesome. They also make dips and one of my favorites is the roasted red pepper dip and the other is a cinnamon walnut raisin cream cheese spread for toast. Don't forget the spice section, and if you need kitchen utensils, large, cast-iron, skillets, and other kitchen needs buy them at Peights, If take a trip to Belleville, make sure that you stop at the Amish Farms and load up on vegetables such as big green, yellow, and red peppers three for a dollar fresh corn out of the field $4.00 a dozen. Prices may be a little higher this summer, but nothing close to what you paying the South Hill suburbs to Pittsburgh. To get a real good sense of how beautiful big valley is take route 22E to I-99 in Altoona towards State College andget off at the Tyrone exit on 453S to route 22E to Water Street. Turn left and continue to 655N to Belleville. Turn right on Walnut street. Stay on Walnut until you come to a stop sign. You will be facing a mountain. Turn left and about 1/2 mile down the road turn right which will take you to Peights. Enjoy the bear alley.

We weren't quite sure what we were getting ourselves into when we decided to pull up to this spot…read more Not being from the area we had no idea what type of place this was. What we found was a scavenger hunt of a store that seemed to go on forever. This is one of those discount stores that has no set inventory with a wide variety of selection. It kind of reminds you of an old general store mixed with a very lowkey department store. Everything from food, bedding, makeup, toys, and housewares can be found under one roof. If you do intend on making a stop here make sure that you have some time to kill as it will take you a bit to make it through every item on the shelves. You will want to look them over to make sure it is what you intend to buy or to make sure it is not out of date. There are many different ways to go about this place as it is a bit of a maze. But do be sure to make your way to the other parts of the building as well. Don't think that it is just the one room where you walk in. I ended up getting a gigantic bottle of olive oil for the price of a tiny one at a regular store. One other thing to note, there is another location that you can check out that goes hand and hand with this place. However it is located elsewhere. We did not get a chance to check that out, but just so you know.

The discount section had a large variety of canned fruits, veggies and cereal.
