Mayfly Market and Deli

This hidden gem in the Northside (Mexican War Streets) puts out the best bang for your buck breakfast sandwiches around the City. They offer 3 varieties and all 3 are great. The sausage one is so tasty and definitely my favorite with the spicy mayo. They also serve other sandwiches, soup, and coffee. They carry various local grocery items. Mayfly Market and Deli is LGBTQ+ friendly too. Worth a stop if close to the area!

Whenever I find myself in the Mexican War Streets neighborhood of the Northside during its business hours, I always want to stop in at this charming speciality gourmet food and deli neighborhood market. I can hardly wait for the chance to order a lunch to-go from the deli. It carries so many locally made products (Leona Ice cream, Pittsburgh Pickle Co, Tabbara Chocolates as examples), I get to support multiple local businesses inside one local business!

The market is still as charming as ever. A lot more items have been added since my last visit. No MTO sandwiches for lunch on Mondays only breakfast. I decided to try one of their deli sandwiches (grab N Go) Turkey, arugula, Swiss and apricot jam! Very delicious! of course the sandwiches appear to be fresh, but it would be great if the date was on the label so you knew when they were made.

Limited shopping here, but immediate fan of the space. They carry Leona's Ice Cream Sandwiches. Many, many varieties. Small menu items from the deli and looked like you can order them on the spot, so fresh!Lots of cheeses, crackers, oils, pasta salad, juices, yogurt, fruit. Just about anything you can need in a well packed space.Service was super nice too.Open 10am on Sundays.

We were on foot nearby when we were seeking out a snack and stumbled into Mayfly. I got huge neighborhood bodega vibes (filling an important niche for surrounding neighborhood) while still being upscale and stylish.If we lived nearby, I could see us popping in here regularly to get provisions, snacks, and other necessities to make dinner. We ended up just grabbing a bougie drink from the cooler and a cookie but were happy we stopped in.The inside has a beautiful ceiling (weird observation but it stood out), was neatly organized and they were even serving various ice creams by the scoop. It had a bright, homey vibe the moment you walked in. What a cute addition to the neighborhood! Highly recommend.

A small grocery store in the Mexican War Street area on the North Side. They offer fresh sandwiches, some groceries, and their homemade Sorbet. We tried their banana foster sorbet, and it was very good. The service was very friendly. It is worth a try if you are in the area.

Need a quick late afternoon bite? Hit up Mayfly. The deli was closed when we popped here. Chatted up the owner for her choice placed to hit up in Pittsburgh. We grabbed the last turkey garb and go sandwich and macaroni salad. The sandwich was divine! The apricot jam added acidity bright flavor. The macaroni salad was solid, needed a touch of salt. I was impressed by the giant cookies and the variety of goods in the store. Wished we would have gotten there before the deli closed.

Fantastic neighborhood market that makes the most delicious sandwiches to order. I'm obsessed with the warm tuna melt on these cold Pittsburgh winters days.

Deli and gourmet food market with flair. It may be somewhat small inside, but there is lots of everything I want. Most of the produce is sourced from local farms. But best of all, they carry Brothmonger Soup. I've been a fan of the Brothmonger for a couple years, and I was delighted to find it here.Great ice cream and fresh bread. Everything to keep you coming back.

Mayfly is my favorite place in the Northside! Their deli makes fresh, delicious, and unique sandwiches and soups - I've never tried one that wasn't great. I also love to shop in the market when I need to pick up a couple of things during the week. Mayfly sells products from a lot of great local businesses like Pane e Pronto and Leona's, and there's always something new to try. The staff is always super friendly as well and it just makes me really happy fo support this little neighborhood spot. Highly recommend!
