Kurkman's Market

Kurkman's is .....Your lifesaver when you need a few things for dinner. You don't need a supermarket when this oasis of necessities is right around the corner. Your lifesaver when you DO go to the supermarket, spend like $100 plus but you forgot things. Your lifesaver when your kid decides he wants an Apple from the market RIGHT NOW since he knows Kurkman's for their delightful produce...it calls to him. Kurkman's is so very much a lifesaver. When we first moved to the neighborhood we were told this place was great and it really is. They may not have EVERYTHING but they have a lot of things. Even stuff for mimosas. The best people work here. Very grateful they are open until 7:30pm...Sad they are closed Sundays but they need a break too. If Kurkman's isn't yet in your life you need them. Xoxo Brookline Hills n Kurkman's 4eva!

I've stopped here numerous times to get a bite to eat, or a drink while I'm on my way from one place to another for work. Sometimes their delivery trucks block the curb cut to the parking lot. This is mostly incredibly obnoxious. There is not much parking on the streets at this intersection, due to bus stops, ecc. What's worse than trying to find a parking spot elsewhere, is waiting for some poor bastard to empty out a pallet of soda so you can get the hell out of the parking lot and go on with your life. Since this place changed hands last - or so it seems, the prices have seemed to go up. The people who work here have always been friendly when I've purchased anything. I wouldn't hesitate to stop in to quench my thirst, but I wouldn't go out of my way to shop here.

I called this place to ask if they carry a particular spice because the markets I usually go to said they don't (Trader Joe's and Stop and Shop). This place said they do carry that spice. So I drove over to them. When I arrived, the clerk told me they actually don't carry. Huge waste of time. Next time don't lie.

I actually was just taking a walk and found this store by accident . What a lucky find! This store has a very nice selection of goods , from everyday items like Fancy Feast to imported items like British teas.The produce looked very nice, and the people working there were very helpful.

I never write reviews because most of humanity sucks and a small business shouldn't win or lose based on some fools experience and then they suffer on YELP but...Kurkmans is by far the nicest, most familiar, most convenient of the grocers in this area. In fact I moved here from Manhattan and if your familiar Kurkmans is the twin of Merci Market on 20th street.It's got fresh fruit, you can order a toast or pick up dog food. It's not Stop and Shop but we use Peapod and then pop into Kurkmans probably every other.There beer selection is better than the liquor store across the street (including harder to find IPAS) and their wine selection is plentiful and stocked with even some more hard to find of the varietals. Honestly I hate this city but Kurkmans makes it ok. They're friendly, they remember you when you frequent and the guys that work in there would do anything to help a customer.I saw them last week help an elderly woman out to her car and they packed her up too. I'm sorry but that stuff just doesn't happen in this city and if your in the hood Kurkmans is a gem.It's not open Sunday's but they work hard enough to have earned that day off. I've never seen such a hardworking crew.

I just moved around the corner from here, and I couldn't be more pleased. You see, I love Trader Joes; however, I do NOT love being run over by shopping carts or trampled by throngs of 85 year olds who scold me in Russian. Kurkman's spares me from having to make regular trips to TJs, and makes me feel high and mighty for supporting local business, to boot. And it's not easy to feel high and mighty as a Brookline novice--high and mighty is like an art here.Anyway, Kurkman's is great. Decent prices, surprisingly large selection, and friendly faces. Hooray!And I'm docking them one star because if I'm going to feel high and mighty properly, I'm going to need a little more organic produce. That's all. :)

A small neighborhood market with everything you might need, from ice cream, wine, veggies, pasta. And you know what, the prices are decent. They have a small parking lot and again if you need that one thing, likely it is here. Enjoy

What's happened here? There are shelves and shelves of items without any prices, making it really difficult to shop. The at-register look up process is time consuming and awkward, and the resulting high prices sadly suggest some kind of bait and switch at work. Staff are not unpleasant, but this is not the tidy dependable operation it used to be.

Annoyed with consistently being ripped off. I've been shopping at Kurkman's since I was little with my parents. Sad to stop shopping here but prices are very frequently higher at the register than marked on the shelves. I'm also really sick of being rudely spoken to when I question price discrepancies. This change has been apparent for about a year now and I can no longer patronize this business. There are other small, local markets I will shop at instead.

It is way overpriced I mean I git a bag of chips for 5.00 but they were some dam good Chips
