Ándale Market

Ándale Market is a super cute bodega with an emphasis on local, sustainable, and artisanal items. They manage to squeeze a lot of great stuff in a tiny space: pantry goods, kitchen cookbooks and accessories, body care and period products, candles, a chocolate, charcuterie and cheese cooler, fun bevvies cooler, fresh flowers, and freshly made Public Quality Bread. My favorite product to buy here is Chilee Oil, the spicy version of their premium recipe (which used avocado oil). I like knowing that, when I buy it here, I’m supporting not just one but two great local small businesses. The store has a well-deserved reputation of supporting the community. When Foxtrot unexpectedly closed their Chicago storefronts earlier this year and left their vendors with unpaid invoices and surplus product, Ándale invited impacted local vendors to use their patio space for pop-up markets. It was such a wholesome display of community care in a cut-throat capitalist world that can I rarely see as a consumer. The one recommendation and opportunity for improvement I have to offer: the front entry is not wheelchair ♿️ accessible because there is a step at the threshold that is too tall to cross with most mobility aids. It would be great to see this turned into an accessible up-ramp with an automatic door.

Me y boyfriend stopped by today and I’m glad we did. It’s so cute in there! I love how small it is but there’s a lot of random cute things here. You guys should play some light music! So cute. I love places like this We got drinks are they are so good!

Simply said, this is the cutest and friendliest shop you will ever set foot in. The staff and owner are beyond incredible and genuine individuals who are so knowledgeable about the products. They curate and incredible range of items in which you’ll find everything you never know you needed. I’m so glad to see something like this come to the area, especially because of the people that made it happen. One of my absolute favorite spots in the neighborhood!

Great selection of products, lovely space, and very kind staffs. Andale market is definitely my go to for gift shopping(including myself! :) )

I’m always excited to make my trek across town specifically to visit this Andersonville neighborhood gem. The shelves are lively and curated and spark the imagination. It feels like ages since Ive traveled but the world-ranging products found on these market shelves take me back, let me reminisce and also spark the imagination to take new staples and treats home. It’s the perfect selection to stock your pantry, find an “I deserve it” or assemble a fun selection to let someone know that they are just as special to you (the gifting options are immense!). I love that the shelves are largely arranged as a bit of a world map. Gift-giving Italiano? Several shelves will readily relate. World-wide wonder? Pick one from each shelf and you won’t be disappointed. Take some time, Andale won’t rush you, instead enjoy the journey (from front to back, shelf to shelf…)

Super cute little shop! Filled with niche dry goods: sauces, cheeses, and and imported pastas galore. Items are fairly priced, but it's not your normal corner grocer, so don't expect Barilla or eggs. The cashier (owner?) was very friendly and the shop cozy.

Went in recently and it has a great selection of curated items from all over. Mika was super friendly and helpful, and really funny. She made the visit for sure and will for sure come back and send friends and family there.

Our favorite shop in Andersonville! This is where my husband & I grab unique and delicious cooking ingredients, wholesome snacks, fun drinks, and other life necessities. We’ve tried so many new products since Ándale opened; it’s been so nice to have more variety. The owners are really cool people, and we look forward to seeing them when we visit.

I've been curious about this small shop for some time and stopped in today whilst we were across the street already. It has lots of specialty items from around the world, and they also sell fresh bread from The Publican I think it is. I bought a baguette as well as some little pots of panna cotta and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. I'm also glad to have found another local hookup for San Marzano tomatoes for when I make bolognese sauce. The jamón ibérico potato chips I picked up weren't my taste, but my significant other liked them well enough. (Fried egg potato chips sound terrible but I might try them anyway!) It was a little annoying to be waiting to check out whilst the employee chatted with someone (whether a friend or someone who wandered in and began to chat I'm not sure, but if they bought anything they'd done so before we entered the store). Perhaps my annoyance was exacerbated by the fact that I had several items in my hands as well as a two month old, but it seemed like the employee wasn't in a hurry to finish his social hour to help someone check out.

This is a unique market selling things from classy dog shampoo, to loaves of bread, dish towels, sardines, sauces and many other gourmet items. Small space-but packed full of "cool and unique" items. Check out the Andale Barbie shopping at the Andale Market in the storefront window!!!!'

Oh my goodness, I am obsessed with this little shop. It's like a boutique bodega with the most aesthetically pleasing food items. Every item they had had beautiful, well-designed packaging, and it was just eye candy combing through the artisanal chili oils, chocolate bars, and tinned fish (and mad kudos for stocking Fishwife, a female-owned tinned fish company!). There's an incredible and diverse selection. Think small business, locally sourced, organic, small batch everything--no Doritos or Funyuns here. While the prices were certainly prohibitive for a plebeian like me, I would definitely stop by and gawk at these glorious foodstuffs any day.

This market is pretty dangerous for your wallet (in a good way)! I happened upon Ándale Market while exploring Andersonville after getting breakfast with a coworker. Ándale Market definitely has a lot unique food finds, as their website boosts. A lot of the food/brands I saw inside where from accounts I followed on Instagram. I was so happy and excited to see multiple companies that I know of but haven't had a chance to buy. Some items I bought that I've had my eye on virtually for months (thank you aesthetically pleasing Instagram ads) were Fly By Jing, Omsom, and Aura Bora. I was also able to get some CBD gummies instead of purchasing them online. Overall, it was a really cute and unique shop and I will definitely be back. I love that there is a store with all these hard to find foods. I can't wait to bring some of my friends along with me next time and discover even more goodies!

Was about to shop around here, but when I arrived, the two employees working 3/25/23 around 2:30 p.m. were harassing an older lady. The two sent the lady out not once, twice but ~three~ times to look at some "password" on a poster outside for 15% off. When I confronted the employees, they insisted that they were "helping her out." Such a bad look, so embarrassing and we immediately left.

This little market is amazing! So many odd things you wouldn't find anywhere else. We're vegans and every product, literally every product, has this smart card/price tag which tells you whether the product is vegan, gluten-free, contains nuts, whether the company is women-owned, etc. everything! Amazing. We found a fig salami, which tastes very great. Also they carry some amazing condiments and chocolates. Would go here every day if I lived nearby. The guy at the counter was super kind and helpful. Five stars (at least)!

This is the single best shop on Earth if you ever need a host/hostess gift (or a special treat for yourself). It's stuffed with countless kitchen goodies, snacks, and other knick knacks. Andale has become a regular stop in my grocery rotation and everything I've tried has been well worth the price! Don't miss it when you're in the neighborhood.
