I normally stop and buy items at Hyde Park Produce when I’m in the area and it has always been a pleasant experience buying at deli.On the morning of October 27, I requested 1 pound of cheese uncut and the deli employee told me that she was sorry but the cheese was already sliced. I asked again and she told me the cheese was already sliced; I did not want the cheese sliced because of my recipe.I was shocked and didn’t understand why she would not sell me the cheese when the point of the deli is to get whatever size cheese, meat, salad, etc. that you would like.If the deli’s new policy is to only sell pre-sliced cheese, there should be a sign stating so.

This was me and my boyfriends first time coming here and we loved it!! Their produce looks phenomenal!! They have their own prepped food section, fresh cut deli meats (were vegan, but wanted to make sure people knew), and a really nice selection of vegan options. I cant wait to go back! Please check them out!!

Good neighborhood grocery store with friendly service. I like their products selection. It will not carry the widest variety of sodas or cereal boxes, but thats not what Im looking for. Ive been surprised positively more than once by the availability of various ethnic or specialty food difficult to find in other stores.

My husband and I have lived in this neighborhood for a year and had never stepped foot in Hyde Park Produce until this past weekend. I cant believe how much weve been missing! An insane selection for such a small space. So many specialty items, a deli with a wonderful selection, and attentive staff.

Small but well stocked with multiple food items for foreign cuisines. Hot foods section mediocre. Good variety and pricing in produce. Takeover store from former Mr. Gs to those Hyde Parkers who remember the postal station next door at that time.

Very fresh produce, a lot of variety, mexican, indian, asian products also sell local products like Damatos bakery breads, or local pita bread. The Deli is Awesome plenty of Board Hed cold cuts and cheese and prepared hot food.Their Guacamole, home made peanut butter and almond butter are great. It’s really feels like a neighborhood market where the staff know you and are happy to see You 🥖🍠🥯🌶🍖🥩🍕🧆🧈 🥑 🧀 🍤🥟🥧🍩🍯

Best prices in Hyde Park! Wide selection of regular and organic veggies and fruits. Other nice grocery products are on offer, so it is more than a vegetable place. Very polite and quick checkers. They almost never have to waste time looking up a code, for they KNOW their produce. I’ve never used their delivery, but friends rave about it. HPP is an important asset in my neighborhood.

I absolutely love how HPPM keeps so much food local, seasonal, and fresh.One of the most affordable options for uncommon produce in the city by far.HPPM has made it so easy and inexpensive to expand my palate with flavors from a host of different cultures and countries and I can’t rave enough about how lucky I feel to have a truly neighborhood produce spot that is right in the heart of a huge city like Chicago.Friendly, helpful staff help me every visit.The store has experienced some improvements over the years, but it is still a small neighborhood spot. I don’t mind the narrow aisles when I realize that means more space for affordable goodies!Neighborhood gem!

I have personally felt, this is the best place in Hyde Park to get fresh produce. Have been a patron of this place for several years now. Reasonable prices, quality and fresh products and a wide variety of choices; I have tried some special vegetables like fresh green plantains, cassava, bitter melons, bottle gourds, long beans, snap peas, a wide variety of squashes, etc from here; havent found many of them in near by stores. The staff are super friendly, always helpful and smiling. It is an ideal market that serves the community. Love HPP!!

Hyde Park produce market opened today in the midst of everything thats going on in the city of Chicago. Some products were limited and or absent from the shelves. However, this store is famous for phenomenal fresh produce. A spectacular beautifully arranged variety of fresh fruits and vegetables greeted customers this morning.Thank U Hyde Park produce market!

Review №38

Really unique grocery store. Small but very interesting. A worthy selection of amazing fruits, berries, vegetables. This place always surprises with something unusual, such as Cotton Candy grapes, carambola, kumquat, kiwi berries and much more. There is always a large selection of mushrooms, fresh herbs, excellent pastries, very tasty bread. Prices are not high on average, many products are much cheaper than Jewel. A real gourmet shop! This is my favorite place to shop, although I live quite far away.

Rating 4 stars for now. I almost forgot about this hidden gem of a store in Hyde Park. They carry a wide selection of fresh herbs and veggies + vegan foods as a bonus! I was able to find some of my favorites and stock up on veggie staples without breaking the bank. A better alternative to whole foods with a much better selection overall.

I have been going here for years and it is my favorite produce store in the Hyde Park or anywhere, for that matter. Great selection of produce and competitively priced as well as a broad selection of meats and grocery items. But most of all it is the atmosphere that keeps bringing me back. This place has a great vibe including warm people and positive energy.

It is a bit grimy but I still liked the atmosphere and community-feeling of this market. The produce is pretty inexpensive and there are interesting products (like bread from Amish country, etc). The other products like dry goods could be more pricey.

No preferred senior time 😳. However, an eight minute wait in line on a sunny 🌞 day is good. As usual, fresh produce and orderly fast service. I always find what Im looking for.

Review №46

This is my favorite produce market EVER!!! They have everything, including a deli and hot food that is prepared. Also, l love the sliced/cut fruit. One thing that l really like is that they have discounted food. It helps especially if youre living paycheck to paycheck, like me. 😊 The salads are good as well. If there is a negative its that sometimes the fruit sits too long. The people are friendly and will help you. There is s fair amount of turnover, though. In sum, visit. Youll be happy you did. 🍓🍒🍅🍌🍋🍊🍉🍏🍎🌽🍇🍆

Really great local grocery but only for fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. I would not use this as my only grocery store as some things like meat, cheese, milk, cereal etc will cost you a lot here and the store does not offer variety in those areas. Great variety of produce, hence the name!

Review №54

10 years ago, Hyde Park Produce was the first grocery store I started shopping at regularly when I started cooking for myself. I honestly think its a big part of the reason that I learned to enjoy cooking. Its a much better grocery store than any other Ive ever lived near. I recently moved back to Hyde Park, and am excited to be shopping here again.What can be so great about a grocery store?1. They dont spray their produce with water constantly. Produce goes bad faster when its damp. Im sure of it. The produce I buy from HPP always lasts until Im ready to cook it. I was shocked by how quickly cucumbers and eggplant go bad when I started buying them from other grocery stores. The food I buy at Hyde Park Produce lasts longer sitting out in an 80 degree apartment than the food I bought at Whole Foods at my last apartment lasted refrigerated. After seven years of not shopping at HPP, I started to wonder if I was misremembering vegetables staying fresh for durations of time that started to seem fanciful, but I have the same experience of vegetables just lasting longer having moved back and shopping there again.2. Their produce is always fresh. Ive never once smelled rancid greens walking through HPP. This seems like it should be a low bar, but the first place I lived after Hyde Park was River North, near a Jewel-Osco, and every time I shopped there, I walked past greens that I could smell were starting to go rancid. That was the worst grocery store Ive been to on that score, but everywhere else Ive shopped has sometimes had that problem. It applies to all of the vegetables. At HPP, I can grab a vegetable almost at random and be confident it will be crisp and fresh. In the seven years I didnt live in Hyde Park, I havent found another grocery store where I could consistently find crisp, fresh vegetables.3. They have a rotating selection prioritizing things that are in season. This is really nice for two reasons. First of all, the changes give inspiration for changing up what I cook for dinner. Its so easy to get into a rut of making the same few dishes on a rotation, and its nice to sometimes see an ingredient that hasnt been around in a while and think, oh, I can make this without having to put a ton of thought into. Additionally, the things that are in season are often cheaper and better-tasting than they are when theyre out of season.4. Wide selection featuring global options. Ive never been to another grocery store that has as wide of a selection of produce that I consider American staples (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, peppers, acorn squash, etc.) and vegetables that I would normally have to go to an Asian specialty store to find. Relatedly, they have a much higher ratio of different species of food to varieties within a species than most places. I would much rather have more variety of different kinds of things to cook than 26 more varieties of apples to choose from.5. Good prices on most things. Seeds and nuts are a lot cheaper at HPP than most other places Ive shopped. So do most of the produce. (Berries tend to be slightly more expensive for some reason, but the vast majority of other produce is cheaper). Between the difference in selection and the difference in price, I end up spending about half as much at HPP per week on groceries as I would at any other grocery store Ive frequented.6. Good selection of brands. Normally, I would think that good prices would typically be associated with low end brands, but this isnt the case for HPP. The average quality of the brands they carry is much higher than anywhere else Ive shopped with similarly low prices.

Review №64

I absolutely love Hyde Park produce market I can get enough produce for myself that will last me at least 14 days making these huge salads for $25 including the cheese thats freshly cut at the store and all the fresh greens. If your veggies go bad in the week what you buying them you can take it back, however, they will not trust me I love this place is really good for budget and its really good if you have a big family and youre trying to figure out where to get reasonably priced fresh vegetables. The staff is extremely nice they have a spot that serves hot meals in the back as well as cold sandwiches that you can get in a combo. Do not go during rush hour because the store is always packed however it is well worth it if you wake up on Saturday morning when theyre putting the fresh vegetables out and get everything you need for at least a week and a half.

Once again Hyde Park Produce are there to help us out in a time of difficulty; remember when the Coop closed and again when Treasure Island closed? They are always there when we are in trouble, and in between. For the third time during the current crisis I have ordered from them and received a prompt delivery of an order carefully shopped for me. Thank you HOP.

Most products are usually fresh.. The cashiers are really nice.. Theres not enough people on the floor that knows about the things in the store, theyre really just Stock People.. But with no knowledge of what they have or where its located.. Some of those cashiers might but others wont.. I like their soup and their chili.. Theyre already cooked tamales are usually dry Ive got sick from that twice.. I have no idea so I just stopped eating it, I have tried several other cheesecakes and cakes that are really good from the bakery .. I like the store and their products. minor complaints, nothing major period. I wish they were a little bigger,

A great, local grocery store that carries a significant selection of produce. Their prices are good compared to other stores in the area, but their produce doesnt always last as long. Its a great place to go for making meals from scratch, but they dont have many ready-made meals for more than just one person.

I have been going to hyde park produce for a couple of years. Today a manger rudely asked me to go back outside at 7.56 am because they dont open until 8am. Never my intention to walk in early but I saw a man walk into the store before I did. Should be a better way to address issue like this. I guess its time to find a different market.
