Convenient Food Mart

It was my last night in Philly and I was on the prowl for these "Peanut Chews" I heard about online. It is a regional Chocolate Peanut Butter candy bar that was suppose to be at any market. I had already looked at a 7 Eleven and a CVS, and I almost gave up. Convenient Food Mart was my hail mary last attempt AND THEY HAD IT! Yessssss. Staff was so friendly and sweet. There was a young Asian girl at the counter and she actually helped me find these Peanut Chews. She said they were good too. Yay! I bought a few for my parents and my boyfriend so they can have a fun snack from Philly.

Staff is always very accommodating. Selections are good. A bit pricey, but aren't most convenience stores? Well worth it.

If you work or live in this neighborhood, you probably know how excellent the sandwiches are. Lucky, lucky you. The sandwich in my photo is from this truly convenient food store: veggie hoagie, no broccoli, oil and vinegar, white american cheese. Writing about this, I realized that the white american cheese achieves a kind of brie-like transcendence. No, I mean it. And in retrospect, I realize that this sandwich - with the carrots and the hot peppers and the pickles - was a kind of bahn mi, at least 8 years before bahn mi was readily available on the East Coast. Also, carrot cake that is much, much better than average.

Convenience is King at this joint. The sandwiches aren't that great, but everything else is. The selection of everything you might possibly need (I needed scissors, I got to choose from 2 types) and super friendly staff make the super bloated prices manageable.They also carry a surprisingly diverse selection of groceries and keep great hours.A solid stop.

Super great people in there, sandwiches are a great value, beer is at a great price, a lot of food to pick from. There is little they don't have.

I love this place. I live across the street and go almost everyday. The staff is the nicest and always helpful. They always have a good selection of the basics.Great deli and fantastic beer selection. I highly recommend.

The people are nice there it's a little overpriced that goes without saying. And I don't suggest the breakfast sandwiches

I've come here a couple of times, they have a good selection of snack bars, some boxed and bagged snacks, wish they had a little more selection there. The sandwiches are good, I had a grilled cheese the other day which was pretty good, they toasted the bread too and it was a good sandwich but not greasy! I'll come back, they're a good market with a nice selection of items.

This is a nice little place. Clean. Well stocked. I can pick anything I need in a pinch.

Open during blizzard + sell beer = 5 Stars
