Great lesser known lunch spot! I eat here at least once a week. The sandwiches are fantastic, and the service cant be beat! Prices are great for downtown.

I loveeeee this place. They have both salads and sandwiches MTO as well as homemade hot and cold items. All of the MTO items I have gotten have been delicious. The Brussel sprouts in the cold items are amazing. Anytime I am dt I always stop to see if they have Brussels. Would recommend for lunch. Guys behind the counter are great at service and making food.

If you don't have primary ingredients for a sandwich, do not attempt to make it and put it through without informing the customer. Also don't get an attitude when the customer asks for more key ingredient sauce on the sandwich. I got shitty food and shitty service.

The day I came here was really my last day for Breakfast stops. I came here thinking oh I'll probably just get some bagel or quick light sandwich and on my way, nope, different experience. I walk in, I didn't notice that I was also a small grocery store. Was greeted by a friendly guy who was doing everything, I grab myself a Cuban sandwich toasted. Once it was finished, I open a box and took a bite out the sandwich. That is one good sandwich, never think a sandwich would ever get this good! The cheese was amazing, the meats was a lot but it didn't feel heavy which I was surprised. This may come as a surprise but if I ever return here, I'm getting something else from here again!

Happy to see they are back with the same great tasty food. Staff are friendly and the lines can get long real quick. Be sure to stop in earlier to beat the rush. The salad I had was fantastic and I enjoyed it on the picnic tables outdoors. Trying to enjoy outdoor dining while the weather is still warm enough.

Editing due to owner response: while I understand the pandemic has taken it's toll, this still used to be a place I could walk to and pick up a bunch of quality dry goods, dairy free milk, meat alternatives, etc, and now it is not. I did not know produce was delivered at 10:30, that makes sense.I remember when this store used to have a bunch of items and you could stop quick for things you needed. I went in at 10 on a Thursday and this place was completely barren. There was almost nothing on the shelves or in the fridge. Came to try and get a few things and just walked out. Thought they might at least have almond milk, but they only had a sweetened version. Their meal station also looked nearly empty; store is not what it used to be.

Nice Hot/Cold cases to get a decent lunch.The surly bro-hemes behind the counter tho.Sheesh.
Just wanted to share my time working here.I made $9.00 an hour part-time. If you plan to work here, ask for more than $9.00 an hour. Good day.

I was meeting a friend for lunch and he suggested Market St Grocery. I've run in here before for quick groceries but never more than that. Market St Grocery is a small space, but it is utilized well! There's a De Fer Coffee shop in there, they also have a nice selection of produce and non- perishable items, and they also have a hot and cold bar selection of food for breakfast and lunch. I got a Caesar salad and added grilled chicken and my friend got tuna salad. My chicken salad was so good; I was pleasantly surprised. This is now another lunch spot that I'll put into my rotation!

Market Street Grocery is located right in Market Square around the corner from the Simple Greek. I used to visit the wine bar in the back often before the pandemic. They served Collefrisio wines and had great cheese plates. My friends and I would go for their happy hour for half priced glasses of Riserva wine. It was a very laid back atmosphere. I don't think the wine bar has reopened, but I visited recently for a coffee. De Fer Coffee & Tea is now the coffee provider inside the grocery store. I guess I haven't been there for a while, because there were a lot of changes! The macaron stand isn't there any more, and they have seats instead. I was so glad that I took my laptop with me, because once I saw the seats I decided to stay and work. While sipping on my oat milk latte, I watched all the Downtown work people come and go ordering custom sandwiches and hot foods for lunch. They have a good selection of food and the prices are reasonable. I remember one time ordering salmon, veggies, and something else and it was only about $10-$12. They served it to you on a plate, and I ate it in the wine bar. I didn't eat anything on this most recent trip, but I enjoyed my latte from De Fer. I'm glad to know they have seats now because I definitely plan to eat/work there more often. They also have a restroom downstairs that is kept clean.

Great spot for lunch!

This is one of Pittsburgh's hidden gems in the city! Amazing place! Amazing service! Friendly EVERY SINGLE TIME! Never a disappointing experience here yet! The food is fresh all the time. Organic products are sold here. Just buy 1 for a treat. You will fall in love with them at first taste like I did. Amazing selection. Deli, hot foods, foods to go, ice cream, sorbet, coffee .... you name it, they have it.If you like, there is a wine selection and room in the back. I have never gone back there. I prefer to experience life sober. :) There is one table with about six seats in the front. Which seems to accommodate the traffic flow just nicely.Sometimes I do wish they would expand the store to include more seating. The owners are fabulous and friendly. A real treat to go here!They are still struggling to survive post-pandemic, so please shop here to keep this Pittsburgh gem alive and well.
Great food, Very friendly staff
