Plum Market - Old Town

Nice mid sized community style grocery store. If you are a stickler for organic goods this is the place to be, a little pricey but it seems worth it. And for those of you who live the Chicago area , Instacart does work with this grocery store in case you don’t feel like leaving out sometimes.

Modern n sleek.... Warm atmosphere n very welcoming Fresh food n fast... Great oven pizza to order..... Better than whole foods or Mariano's Fair price... Clean...Quiet... Free parking too.... Check out the cafe for good coffee as well...

I'm really going to miss this grocery store so much! The people who work here are sincerely some of the sweetest-- always helpful and have a passion for helping their customers. I love their body care section and they used to carry Mrs. See's candies from California and Seattle, Washington. I used to love purchasing See's candies and lollys. Anyway they will be closing soon so make sure you visit this friendly and unique grocery store more often before they leave. If the owner happens to read this review I know that whole foods left their location on Huron in River North and it would be outstanding 👏 if you chose that empty building so Chicagoans could continue to shop here --- just a suggestion 😉 I love the fact that you can always find unique items here like this hair towel by Kitsch...honestly this is a boutique shopping experience so visit Plum Market before they close their doors 🚪

THE STAFF IS ONE ONE OF THE BEST 🏆IF NOT THE BEST. THEY ARE EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE 🧠, HARD WORKERS 💪, & MOST OF ALL KIND. THE VEGETABLES ARE ALWAYS FRESH AND PICTURE PERFECT 🖼. THE MEAT DEPARTMENT I MUST SAY IS A TAD BIT EXPENSIVE; HOWEVER THE BUTCHERS 🥩 HAVE SOME OF THE BEST CUTS. THERE ADULT BEVERAGES SECTION IS AMAZING FULL OF SPIRITS , WINES 🍷 & CRAFT BEERS 🍻 FROM ALL OVER THE 🌎. DID SOMEONE SAY CHEESE 🧀 PLEASE! I AM NOT BIG ON CHEESE YET AND STILL HAVING SO MANY CHOICES TO CHOOSE FROM I FOUND MYSELF A COUPLE NICE BITES. THE PREPARED 🍱 IS SIMPLY 🔥 AND THE CHEFS WHO PREPARE THE COOKED MEALS HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL. AT TIMES ONE MIGHT THINK THE FOOD IS FAKE & TRUST ME IT IS NOT, IT’S JUST PREPARED BY FUTURE MICHELIN ⭐️ CHEFS. THE BAKERY IS FULL OF FRESH SWEET PASTRIES 🥮 🍰 A MUST STOP. THAT IS RIGHT BEFORE MY FAVORITE PLACE THE FLORIST 🌸 FULL OF FRESH AROMAS, LOVELY VIVID, VIBRANT, & COLORFUL. THEN HERE COMES WHAT TRULY KEEPS ONE COMING BACK THE CHECKOUT YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO GO TO THE SELF CHECKOUT WHICH IS GOOD FOR THOSE IN A RUSH; HOWEVER I LIKE TO CHECK OUT OUR FRONTLINE CASHIERS WHO TRULY KEEP MANY COMING BACK. OVERALL WHAT AN AMAZING STAFF WHO HAVE BATTLED THROUGH THE TRYING PAST YEAR AND A HALF TO DELIVER NOT JUST THE GROCERIES AND KEEP THE DOORS OPEN BUT THWY ALSO DELIVER GOOD ENERGY AND SMILES 😊

Plum is my neighborhood market and I’m grateful for it! The app provides amazing coupons. I buy my organic staples, cheeses, and favorite pantry items there. I also love visiting to just walk around and explore new foods I haven’t tried before. I rely on their great selection of natural beauty and supplements.

I miss this place so much. I used to come here all the time when I lived in Chicago. The nicest people in the world work here. They are so kind and friendly and go out of their way to help you. I miss them all so much. Shelves are well stocked, meat and fish is always fresh and tasty. Great produce too. And excellent vitamin section!

I used to love shopping at this store. Its more expensive then other stores in a area, but it used to be worth it because of the service, fresh items and very well organized shelves. Today I just saw employees on their phones, laughing together, not really welcoming anyone to the store, one employee almost fall down on me when another girl pulled him from the ladder as he was arranging the shelves. Cashier seemed pretty upset that I went to check out with her and not to a self-check-out line. She pointed out that I should put my basket away at some other place rather then placing it near the counter, even though there were already like 10 other baskets there.I’ll probably still come back as I live close by, but I hope they can train their employees better and set some service expectations. It’s a challenging time to hire people, but if you are charging $10 for a pint of strawberries service has to match.

Plum Market is a nice place to shop if you are looking for specialty foods. This store has products from companies most people have never heard of. They are very prominent in organic food. Shoppers can find just about everything in organic. The store itself is of medium size. I was there on a Sunday afternoon and it was fairly busy. It is very well stocked with lots of items. The meat department has beautiful looking meat and fish (even whole fish. ) The butchers are ready to cut your selection just like you want it. They also have a large selection of wines, and it appears they have discounts. Just about all of the shoppers had some wine in their cart. If you live in this area, go check the store out.
