Best place for bulk fresh pasta in Chicago, bar none. If the minestrone is available, grab a quart as well.
Fantastic fresh pasta and ravioli. The sign says it best: Fresh Pasta
The spices are awesome. The selection is huge and I'm pretty sure I own half of the shop! I go at least once or twice a month, the service is impeccable and they are always willing to help. 10/10
so many useful spices and a cute place
Awesome selection and a very knowledgeable and helpful staff.
Had a delicious brisket sandwich. The staff was very friendly and incredibly quick in bringing the food to the table. I really enjoyed eating on the open air section, taking in the sun.
Awesome Breakfast Burritos!!!

Best espresso in the area. Love their lattes and cappuccino!
Best sandwiches in the Mart. Can be a bit of a wait, but I think it's due to all the love they put into each panini and salad.
Best place in the Mart for a sandwich & espresso drink. Hands down.
Quite the selection of whiskey and they always have Seattle Cider in stock!
What a bourbon library! Check out the Copper Fiddle. Pot still. GMO-free grains
This market has a well curated selection of provisions that will impress at a dinner party, but the real gems are the items that Fountainhead has helped produce themselves. Keep your eyes peeled!
