Anyone who's attended Johns Hopkins is most certainly well-acquainted with "Uni Mini," and I was an undergrad at Hopkins look enough ago that I remember when they moved here from their old location...and it was a HUGE upgrade. The place is basically an institution at Hopkins, and you come here for one thing and one thing only: a little hoagie called the steak egg and cheese with 2 hashbrowns inside. Maybe I'm a little biased, but I have yet to find a hoagie anywhere that is as satisfying whether I'm sober or drunk. No joke, one of the main reasons that I'm tempted to attend the annual JHU Alumni Weekend is the prospect of being able to go to to Uni Mini for some steak egg and cheese, and there are seriously some days that I fantasize about hopping on a plane to Baltimore just to get myself one. read more

Not expensive uni market right on the edge of campus. Prices aren't hiked up as far as I was seeing. They got a little bit of everything that you could conveniently get if you don't have a car. Deli shop by the cashier can make you a sub too. Not busy when I went on a weekday afternoon. Chill service too. read more

University Market - Fast Food Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I love this place. I love their breakfast sandwiches and all of their deli department. I love the staff and they always have something interesting to try! Highly recommend read more

I work all throughout the city and love trying different local shops for lunch. I stopped in University Deli and tried the shrimp salad sandwich......... I've been coming back every day since. I'm not exaggerating when I say I've tried hundreds of different Deli spots throughout the county and city and this deli has the Absolute BEST SEAFOOD SALAD SANDWICH I've had in Baltimore. Every day I work around university I get TWO Shrimp salad, sandwiches, and marble cake. It's perfect every single time. And the gentleman that work inside are really polite and friendly. I'm so happy I stumbled across this place because it is a hidden gem !!!!! read more

Love fact that this place is about a ten minute drive away and stays open 24/7 has mobile items even medicine. On the street parking and friendly staff. Come check it out especially late at night. You won't regret it! read more

Only thing the place has going for it is that it's 24/7 and super convenient. Don't go for quick bite or to do ur main shopping. If ur in a pinch, and don't mind being overcharged, this is the place. read more

The food is ok but if you are a black person they are very rude i experienced this every time i came into the store everything is overpriced because of the area being a college campus so they overcharge my best advice is to not support them at all read more

I'm going to keep this short & sweet - Whenever I am out at night, before I head home, I ALWAYS stop thru 'Uni Mini' for a DELICIOUS greasy sub ... Without question, some of the best subs in Bmore! And you get a FREE fountain drink w/ ANY sub purchase ... WHUUUT WHUUUUT!!?!?!? SCORE!! BEWARE: It can get INSANELY packed Thurs - Sat nights after 12. Be ready to wait but it will be soooo worth it! read more

If you go to hopkins and you don't know about this place, then you're doing college wrong. even if you don't go to hopkins, you should definitely try it out! While this 24/7 convenience store is pretty awesome, I will not hype it up too much because it isn't AMAZING. it's just really really good. and in all honesty, it tastes much better at 2am after a long night of studying or chillin. What you need to order and try: - chicken parm hoagie - so good - steak egg and cheese hoagie with hashbrowns inside - YES. my personal favorite i actually just had a steak egg and cheese w/ hashbrowns for lunch today make sure you ask for hot sauce inside and on the side as well warning: the grill closes around 4am, so certain items you can't order at that time you may wonder who goes here at 4am... but this means you need to study more at night. read more

By far the worst restaurant I have ever ordered from since I've been using grub hub (or ordering food for that matter). Firstly some items were missing from my order, secondly, the food was horrible and made incorrectly (so bad taste and special instructions not followed). DO NOT ORDER FOOD FROM HERE!!! read more

University Market - Does this look like an appetizing chew steak sub? - Fast Food Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Through my 4 years at JHU, Uni Mini was probably one of the only places I was always in the mood for. Minus the one year where they tore down Uni Mini and Rofo to build Charles Commons. What a painful year... waiting ever so patiently for the new Uni Mini to open across the street. Uni Mini is basically the Hopkins experience. 24/7 convenient store with a grill (+ the giant drink you get with your hoagies). Countless memories coming back after long nights of studying/working in MSE or the Hac Lab. You were always there for me (minus that one terrible year). Chicken Parm. Steak Egg and Cheese + Hash Brown. Western Fries. I will always remember your deliciousness. $6-9 for a 10" hoagie + large fountain drink. Can get crowded late at night when the masses are leaving the library/when the bars close. So you see a wide mix of people there. The sleepless engineers who are still at the lab working on their senior projects. The high/drunk student coming back from a night of drinking. And just about anyone else. Not the cleanest place, but certainly not that dirty (definitely cleaner now than it was back in '05). Uni mini is now called University Market, after they moved to the other corner of St paul and 33rd St. Bottom line. The sandwiches are awesome. And are sustaining most of JHU's student body. read more

University Market - steak egg and cheese with hashbrowns - Fast Food Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The kid who works at night is super discriminatory about my being Deaf and having a service dog. He demanded that I pick my dog up and when I told him, via text, that per ADA my dog was allowed with me in the store without being carried regardless of the food he served, he refused to serve me and kept repeating that he didn't care about the ADA rules I was trying to show him on my phone. read more

As a resident of this neighborhood, the story i have about my visit 2 days ago is very telling about the owners of this store. I came into the store to purchase snacks and a smoke. I choose some chips, they had a label of 3.99, which i was okay paying. When i got to the register, the cashier rung them up as 4.99. I pointed out the label, and he called another employee for them to check another item of the same type. That alone was cause for alarm but i stayed calm. When it was confirmed that i did not alter the price ( i come here all the time so not sure why i would) i let the cashier know that instead of my roughly 15 dollar purchase, i would only get the cookies i selected. At this point the cashier told me that the machine was down and i couldn't buy anything. There were several people in the store so i calmly asked "well if the machine is down, why are you only telling me?" They insisted the machine was down so i let someone in front of me, at which point they said "oh it's working again". I believe that reaction was rude, unprofessional and racially motivated. There are other options in the area where you can get better treatment and cost for the same material. Please avoid these people at all cost. read more

My boyfriend goes here for lunch and he brought me some wings they were pretty goodnext I wanna try a cheese steak sub.

The University Market (and Deli) is a really great and cheap convenience store. The best part about University Market (or "Uni Mini" as the local Johns Hopkins students call it) is that it is open 24 hours!! The store is helpful for if you ever need to buy anything late at night, and the deli is great for when you happen to be craving junk food really late in the night... For instance, I got the 8 piece chicken nuggets and the mozzarella sticks. Definitely not the most healthy choice, but very satisfying. I would also recommend trying the "special with hashbrowns" (a sandwich). read more

If you live in the Charles Village area, you have to.. HAVE TO know about this place. This 24/7 convenience store is my go-to if you need something quick and you don't want delivery. They offer made to order hot and cold sandwiches, sides and even ice cream! The guys working the store are super nice and friendly. You would think I would feel weirded out going to a convenience store at late hours of the night, but this place is welcoming and not at all sketchy. The mozzarella sticks, chicken parm, cheesesteak are really good... especially if you need something to eat after a night out. They offer breakfast sandwiches all day too, but I have yet to try that. In addition, the store offers a variety of Middle Eastern foods and spices which is pretty awesome. Kombucha drinks, Tahina sauce, falafel are some items you would find here that you might not typically find in a convenience store. This is place is definitely a great place to frequent if you live in the area. read more

CAUTION: The guys (all Middle Eastern descent) making your food behind the counter never ever wear gloves... disgusting. Hand washing is done without soap few and far between. Typical scene is the dude would check his phone and then use those dirty paws to make you a sandwich. The Health Department really needs to crack down on this place. Otherwise it's a convenience store that carries a surprising number of ethnic items from different countries and one that jacks up the prices to an obscene level; lots of homeless people/panhandlers loitering outside the store The University Market (many, especially Hopkins students, refer to the place as "Uni Mini") gets a high rating because of sentimental values... this IS the place to be after a night of hard-core studying at the library or an epic night out drinking and partying to get your cravings for greasy, deep-fried food satisfied late at night. Popular items are the chicken parm sandwich, steak egg & cheese, and bacon egg & cheese. A lot of people add a hashbrown ($1 extra) inside the sandwich they are getting. Other food items at the sandwich counter such as the deli meats and tuna/egg/seafood salads - avoid at all costs: no one ever gets them and they do not seem fresh. $7.99 for any hoagie sandwich (which is on an 8" roll) and a drink is included Even though University Market is open 24/7 (really, even the holidays), the grill at the prepared food section closes around 4am until 5:30am, which means you cannot order hot food during that time, which you shouldn't do anyway. I'd stick only with packaged goods, not their prepared food read more

If ever there was a five-star convenience store, this is it. It's open twenty-four hours and it's not sketchy or surreal at all. In addition to all the usual convenience store staples, you can stock up on Middle Eastern delights like tahini or a new hookah! And you have like a 60% chance of spotting the elusive totally stoned Johns Hopkins undergraduate ordering a falafel sub sandwich from the grill. That's right, grill! They make some great hot sandwiches, including breakfast sandwiches, falafel sandwiches, and a really good vegetarian sandwich, the contents of which I cannot really identify though I can testify that it's delicious. (Be forewarned - you are very likely to mistakenly receive a vegetarian "pizza" sandwich by accident. Those are okay too.) The fries are also excellent. My other favorite thing about this place, which I realize will appeal to very few other people, is their selection of Pop-Tarts. They carry the unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tarts, which I love because they are a.) delicious and b.) free of gelatin. They are kind of hard to find, so I love that I can consistently get them here. read more

Messed up my order and over charged me. Little ticked off considering how much I ended up paying for just eggs and a bagel.

We've visited Uni Mini for a very long time as one of the few 24-hour options for quick, reliable food. It's better and less expensive than delivery, by far. It is just frozen falafel here, but it's properly cooked and the toppings are always fresh - a quick falafel and hummus sub with fresh tomatoes and lots of black pepper is a great late night option to have. The beverage selection is excellent, the service is quick and organized, even when there's a huge line of drunk students on a weekend or stressed students during reading/finals week. Another bonus here is that they often have Kinder chocolates amongst their big selection of candy. read more

It's not the greatest place - a little overpriced but it's close and convenient. So consider the cost benefit analysis of your $ vs the time spent going elsewhere. Don't get the wings. Mozzarella sticks are decent though. read more

I came back to Baltimore to visit yesterday, and the first place I went to, was of course, Unimini! Oh how I missed thee. It's a nice cramped little market run by some interesting people. This 24/7 convenience mart never fails to satisfy hungry students with their greasy subs and almost limitless huge fountain drink for under $10. It looked a bit cleaner than I remember, however, they also did raise the price of the subs by $1 from 5.99 to 6.99, of which I am outraged so I only gave it 4-stars, instead of 5. Sometimes they will ask if you want the standard vegetables as part of the sub, but if they don't, be sure to request for them (like onions and peppers, which they are willing to grill for you if requested, lettuce, tomatoes). All the non-sub/sandwich foods... nothing but deep fried: mozerella sticks, chicken wings, chicken tenders, fries. So eat these are your own risk! (But man, are they so tasty.) If you want to know what Johns Hopkins University is all about, just go to Unimini. read more

Wonderful convenience store, open 24/7 I don't think I've ever seen it close, even during the 5 feet of snow in 2009. They have great hot and cold sandwiches that are available 24/7 also from the grill. I've also seen the same 6 guys working there everyday so eventually they get to know you there and can make your order when you walk in. Overall it's a great college convince store right by Hopkins read more

Go to place when you're drunk, or it's just really late and you really don't want to eat Subway. It's a staple of the JHU diet, and it was the first place we came during 5th year reunion weekend. Chicken parm on hoagie... I could go for this Uni Mini awesome-ness any time. read more

I only go there for the Bitcoin atm they have. Works great to get some quick cash out of a bitcoin wallet. Five stars for the BTC ATM.

This little convenience store has a better variety of items than the typical convenience store -- particularly various Mid-Eastern items. And, additionally, it's actually open 24 hours a day, which truly makes it convenient. The gyro sub I got was surprisingly tasty. It was also surprisingly greasy, but thankfully much of that grease got absorbed by the wrapping paper. Impressively, they grilled the roll, providing for superior and more interesting layers of texture. Also, as a nice bonus, you get a free cup of coffee or soda fountain drink with your sub order. The coffee I got was thoroughly adequate. The place, though, could certainly use more regular cleanings and more engaged staff. read more

Nice d00ds behind the counter. Basically a well-needed 24-hour corner shop for anyone. Essentials, snacks and a grill for okayish breakfast/sandwiches and cheapo coffee. [Same review posted for the other branch. I lived in Charles Village and frequented this regularly. Now in Mt Vernon, I frequent this one regularly]. read more

This place looks like a garden-variety convenience store, but it has a few gems: unusual offerings that are hard to find anywhere. I bought a huge jar of Lupini beans for a very reasonable price. Score! And they sell big 1-pound bags of Yerba mate (also very cheap)...as well as some middle-eastern spices and supplies. You can even get big boxes of Ma'amoul (date cookies)...mmm....yummy. And these items are all reasonably priced! I recommend peeking your head in here, and actually walking down every aisle. It looks superficially like any other convenience store but there are enough items to set it apart that I think this place is an unusual asset to the area in which it is located. read more

Duuuuude, so I haven't been home to Baltimore in a while, and I hear that this whole block was scheduled to be redeveloped with some sort of giant Barnes and Noble or some shit like that. BUT, the UNI MINI is great. It could be said that the Uni Mini rules, in fact. The Mozarella Sticks sure do! Gotta love a convenience store with Mozzarella Sticks and other deep fried goodies. The Hopkins fratboys and assorted riff-raf hanging out on the weekends can be a drag, but hey, what do you expect from a place called the "University Mini Mart" that's a block from campus? I mean, like seriously, I wish you could show your gross sorority cleavage at the Royal Farms across the street, but hey, even the JHU kids know a rad spot for late night cravings... The UNI MINI is just the ticket most nights in the C. V. If only "Omar" worked the registers.... Shit! Update: It's GONE!! THE WHOLE LIKE 11 STORY BUILDING IT WAS IN IS GONE TOO! WHAT?!? Oh, it just moved across the street. Duh. read more

I love this place. Where else can you get a really good crab cake sandwich for about $4? They have a lot of pretty cool, unique sorts of things, too..like tasty dolmas. One of these days I'm going to try the bag of wasabi-flavored chips. They also have this coconut flavored soda I love. My boyfriend likes this place because they have Kinder Bueno, which is yummy chocolate from Austria. And it's always open! All of those things make it worth having to mix and mingle with little doe-eyed college students half my age lol read more

Great 24 hour convenience store in Charles Village. A brand new 7-11 was just put in next to my apartment but I still walk the extra couple blocks to go here usually. It's got great location, on St. Paul St in-between lots of other retail. One of the benefits of living next to John Hopkins is their security is out all the time, so I can walk to the University Minimart at 2 AM and not have to worry one bit. I'm not sure if that's true of any other neighborhood in all of Baltimore. Standard convenience store fare is available, but they also dish up some mean food. Deli sandwiches, hot subs, and of course, breakfast food. Nothing beats getting a bacon and egg bagel for a late dinner. They also serve ice cream and milkshakes, although having a Coldstone right next to it probably makes business tough on that. Besides foodstuff, they also have a big selection of hookahs. I don't smoke, so no clue on the quality on them, but they look pretty serious... Staff is friendly enough, and they do a good job in putting up with all the drunken kids coming in from PJ's and CVP down the street. There sure are a lot of them too, so these guys have some real patience. Prices are comparable to any other place like it. Common sense stuff - don't buy cereal at a convenience store when it's $4 cheaper for the same box at a grocery store. read more

I think that they have really good breakfast sandwiches. The sausage, egg, and cheese hoagie with the hash browns added are some of the best breakfast foods that you can get from that place. Also if you add some old bay seasoning to it it is just perfect for the morning. They also sell an assortment of other things that you might need if you're a college kid, eg condoms, ping pong balls, energy drinks, ice, assorted office supplies, junk food, and even hookahs. read more

Motz sticks are the perfect late night snack after a night on the town. Also I would recommend chicken nuggets, not tenders. You get more for the price! Western fries are so good BUT they will burn your tongue if you eat too fast like me. All of these are side orders and range from 5-10 dollars. Now for the reason behind my 3 star rating. Uni is known to up-charge you if you seem to be intoxicated or just not in the right state of mind. Overall, keep an eye out for other drunk college students like myself. read more

Although I like their food and prices, I often avoid University Market because the older man who works the register is constantly referring to me as "girl" or making comments on my appearance. I'm a 27 year old woman, not "pretty girl" or "beautiful" or "honey." I have never heard to him refer to male patrons as "boy" or remark on their appearance. I want to make an economic transaction, not be ogled. read more

This place rocks. It's open 24 hours for food and snacks and their grill for hot foods is only closed from 3 AM to about 7 AM (maybe less not sure). The only problem is that their milk is overpriced and their frozen food selection is sometimes lacking. Personally I only have a problem with the amount of marinara sauce they give with the mozzarella sticks. They need to give more. It's never enough. read more

I love that this place is open 24 hours. It makes for a great break from royal farms chicken after being out at the bar. I really love that they offer so many ethnic treats. Being Korean in Baltimore, there are not too many places that sell Korean food in stores. I've seen spicy ramen (Shin Ramen) and packages of dried seaweed. They have sesame crunch bars and ginger gummies. I would recommend going in and really taking a look at what's on the shelves. read more

24/7 store and they carry Yerba Mate tea and other ethnic foods in their grocery store. Killer selection.

This was the first and last time I came to this place. I ordered Chicken Parm Hoagie because someone on yelp recommended in reviews. I think this shop is over-rated. I hardly think people who liked its food have ever eaten any anything good. It was 6.99, it was not worth its price, not even close.The chicken was stiff. In one word I was deeply disappointed. If you buy other things in its supermarket, you should really pay extra attention. The cashier didn't even scan the barcode and he was very terrible at calculation. Not to mention he directly wadded and threw away my receipt into trash can when it was printed. They even over-charged me!!! bought one Chicken Parm Hoagie,which was 6.99, a $1.79 Dr. Pepper, and a 1.99 Campbell's soup. They totaled 10.77, but they took me 11.42. I remember so clearly because I did my math before I went to the counter. Since he threw away my receipt without informing, I did not know why. I'm new to US so I thought the over-charged might be the sales tax. But when I got home and looked into mu other purchase receipts, none of them had such a high tax- it was $0.65! Can you believe it?! I'll never go back to this place ever. And I suggest you who usually pay little care to your payment amount and detail be very careful if you must shop there. read more

So sad my classic Steak, Egg& Cheese on a kaiser was substandard. I asked for ketchup and no ketchup. The cheese wasn't really melted at all. The sandwich wasn't very hot, and it wasn't very busy so there shouldn't be a reason why my sandwich should t be deliciously hot. First time I've been disappointed with my usual sandwich, but there it is. read more
