Market Basket

CHAOS! This store is total chaos. There is not enough room in the isles for the massive carts and there is only a single access point to the shopping area these two things lead to some pretty serious congestion issues. There needs to be a second outlet to the floor and they need smaller carts. The food selection is fantastic, the hot bar is cheap and tasty. The Sushi is outstanding for the price and I have found the staff to be easy going and friendly. Somerville classic.

This Market Basket branch is a great place to shop for groceries! Prices are noticeably lower compared to other grocery stores in the area, making it an excellent option for budget-conscious shoppers. The store is clean, well-organized, and the staff is friendly and helpful. They also carry halal chicken regularly and sometimes have halal meat, which is a big plus for those looking for halal options. Overall, a reliable and affordable grocery store that serves the community well!

Market Basket is #1. Place is run like the military. The particular store's design and layout is small and compact vs. modern super center type stores, and it's always fully packed with people. Impossible to move around, always somebody trying to get passed you, and somebody is always in the way. But the prices and quality are outstanding, incredible value vs. Shaws, Star Market, WF, Stop&Shop, etc.

Best place to shop for produce - very fresh, high quality, and affordable! Market Basket has the best prices around, including online. The Somerville store is often crowded so patience is required.

Affordable food, good variety, helpful staff. Great store. Don’t go if you get easily over stimulated. This place is the American dream

The isles are cramped, the parking lot is busy and the customers and plentiful, but Market Basket delivers every time and the Somerville Ave location is no different. The shelves are stocked high and the prices are low. There is a large and varied selection of everyday and speciality goods at this location, including staple ingredients for Thai, Chinese, Mexican and other varied cuisines. The produce is always solid and they stock such a wide variety of products that for speciality ingredients, I typically check Market Basket first. There is no self checkout and the friendly cashiers and baggers will assist in paying for your groceries. I recommend coming early in the morning or later at night for a less busy shopping experience. Favorite grocery store. Thanks!

My friend had this experience, and I think ppl need to know: I was visiting Boston and went to the Somerville Market Basket to buy lobster, since it came highly recommended. At checkout, the cashier never asked if I wanted a receipt and didn’t give me one. I immediately asked politely for my receipt, and to my shock, she pointed at the trash bin and told me “look here, that one.” It was clear she had crumpled and thrown it away instead of reprinting one. I found this extremely disrespectful and humiliating. Another customer nearby also looked shocked. I reported it to staff and later called the manager, who said they would get back to me—but no one has followed up. This was one of the rudest experiences I’ve had with a cashier, and I hope Market Basket addresses it seriously.

This was one of the first Market Baskets I was exposed to when I moved to Mass. It's still a very solid store. A bit difficult to get to if you're not already on Somerville however the quality and customer service is as great as all the rest of the Market Baskets. Highly recommend and would go back again if in the area.
