Netcost Market

Netcost is great. If I lived nearby this would probably be my main grocery store. They have a good and very reasonably priced produce section and a wide selection of Soviet Bloc goods. My toddler is extremely devoted to their frozen pelmeni that you scoop out of a freezer into produce bags. I think he mostly has the right idea. Their takeout by the pound food makes a convenient and affordable lunch when I venture out to the far northeast.

Best , large selection Eastern European, variety market. You can get many popular kitchen items, quite a selection of fresh produce and fish . Cheese, exotic desserts and entrees, candy , chocolate. Baked goods, and non dairy substitutes.

Read about this market on an article, finally decided to visit, I have to say they didn't disappoint me!There were many unique items especially snacks which would made them very good for holiday gifts.They also had a wide selection of international goods as well as everyday essentials, in good price just like their name! I can't read all of their stuff (in Russian) but it's making my grocery run quite fun!However they don't have the prepared hot food area anymore as the old photos shown on some reviews because of the pandemic. All prepared food were boxed and refrigerated as I could see.

I was in Northeast Philly and wanted to check this market out. It has a lot of good Yelp reviews and I also like a good food adventure. Found it here. It is a supermarket that specializes in Russian and East European foods. Aside from a nice selection of fruits and vegetables you will find countless prepared foods both hot and cold. They have a huge selection of fish, smoked and fresh. They also have an enormous selection of teas from all over the world and if you like honey an equally enormous selection of any type off honey you can imagine. The cheese department is also full of interesting items, tons of basket cheeses. Lots of items are on sale if you get a store card. There are several senior days where they take 10% off your order. A really fun place to shop for exotic items. I will be back.

I am updating my review... Love this place and love that I can find things to cook a good Ukrainian meal, however I get that Ukrainian goods may be hard to come by due to current situation. I am very disappointed that where Ukrainian imported goods once stood, Russian products are taking their place. This is not ok in my eyes and unacceptable.

The best Eastern Europe grocery. I'm from south Philadelphia and wish they were closer!

You guys! This place is kinda cool! I'm a sucker for a good ethnic market and this is certainly one. Not only does it have "regular" market food, it also has:-A fantastic variety of Russian, Uzbek, Bulgarian and other Eastern European gems. -The largest smoked salmon department I've ever seen. -The largest variety of apples. I've never seen so many different kinds. Not even at an orchard! Some I've never even heard of! -Rare'r' fruits like pomegranates, kumquats, persimmon and HUGE tubs of pomegranates seeds! At a steal too! -Caviar selection to make "The Rich & Famous" jealous -self serve, pay by lb. frozen pirogies and dumplings of all kinds. -Over a half a dozen soups from Borscht to cabbage to the kind that grandma used to make. -salad bar with all sorts of amazing, unique cold healthy salads. -hot to go bar for a quick din in a pinch! (If you enjoy the Uzbek restaurants this area is known for, you'll notice some of your favorite dishes in the to go section here! Fried potatoes with mushrooms is my fav!) -any kind of fish you could imagine. -fresh baked breads of all kinds!! -drool worthy pastries. -thick, cut to order bacon for you bacon lovers out there. -a very impressive honey and tea section! Fellow veg-heads, steer clear of the meat department!! Beside the normal bloody meats, I happen to unfortunately see skinned rabbits, turkey necks, veal tongue and cow feet. Ugh. Almost vomited. Prices were very fair! Tuesday's are 10% off for seniors. Slight language barrier, but not a big deal. If you're local and are used to Bell's Market and some of the Uzbek/Russian restaurants up this way, you'll be very pleased here. I will definitely be shopping here again when I'm in the area. Kiddos ate their .89 round seeded loaf in 2 seconds flat. Hubs enjoyed his almond cake too. The salads I sampled were delish!

Netcost is an awesome place for grocery shopping. I travel around half an hour from Southern New Jersey to visit this location. There are two Netcosts in Philly and this is the newer one. It is clean and bright. My main reason for the trip is the prepared foods. Although I am a South Philly Italian, I have an affinity for Eastern European food--and in particular, syrniki. Syrniki are Tvorog Pancakes. Tvorog can best be described in western speak as "farmers cheese"--somewhere between cottage cheese and ricotta cheese. They are sweet and sinfully delicious.Netcost's syrniki rock, as do all the prepared foods, including the "sweet" beet salad, sauteed cabbage, and all types of prepared fish, chicken, rice, all types of olives, soups, cutlets/meats, and salads that can only be seen to get a good description. Words fail me.I have never seen such an extensive tea and honey aisle. Most labels are in Russian, but if you look hard enough, you can generally figure out what it is--if not, grab an employee and they'll help you.Their deli case is stocked with salamis and kielbasa, cheese, and lunchmeats. But the magnet to many souls will be the smoked and dried fish. Admittedly, I did not know what most of them were, but if they're ever sampling, I'll test it. As an Italian, I've always thought Italy to be the pinnacle of the baked goods craft. But the tortes, sweet "dessert" pierogi, sweet baked I-don't-even-know-what-they're-called goods are not to be beaten by any culture. In the back left hand corner will be baker racks--buy everything you can from these usually three racks. The second reason I make this journey is for the frozen pelmeni. I buy pounds and pounds of these and return to Netcost once my freezer is empty of them. My favorite are the Siberian. Try each and every variety. They also have a Halal version.Their fruit and vegetables are always high quality, and like any other market, certain times of year are better priced than others. I have scored some really good deals on mangoes and tomatoes, but not on my latest visit which was 12/22/17. They have vegetable and fruit varieties I have not seen in any other market, and for some reason, they have a ton of different apples. I noticed many different colored carrots on my latest trip.I cannot say enough good about this market. If there were one complaint, is that the hours are a bit odd--they are open 9 to 9. The late opening is a bit rough for me, but if that's my only complaint, that's certainly a win in anyone's book.

Unfortunately, we didn't have a good experience with this store. Especially with salesperson OLGA who is working in delicates department. She was very rough, inpatient, unprofessional, agued, even insulting. The worst of all, she absolutely HATE her job. I called the manager, who was completely useless and Olga stayed to him, "I am tied of everything."She should never ever be part of Netcost team. People like her make us avoid to go shopping in this store.Be aware of Olga.Natalia [email protected] were shopping on Jan, 3rd, 2024

Lots of neat food products that you won't find other places. The manager Maria is great!
