A very well-stocked grocery store with all you need. Friendly and helpful staff, good mix of organic and normal groceries, good deli and cold cuts section. Pretty reasonably priced for a small store, and super convenient if you live locally. I ve been back a few times during my stay and always been very happy.

I bought stuff and the lady at the counter Mari did not give me a receipt. She also bagged another guy's stuff who was away from the counter that I did not want, so now I can't return the items. Ridiculous.

Olivia's was our second home when living in bucktown. The staff were outsanding, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great place to go for those last minute food items, or a quick lunch. They also sell several products from vendors at the Green City Market in Lincoln Park.

Yes, they have some specialty items. But some of their organic food/ groceries is way more expensive than organic food at a normal grocery store. You can get most of the same stuff at a Marianno's and pay less. Or even order it off instacart to your door...

Olivia's is a great place to grab real food for lunch and pick up a few other amenities while you're there. Their selection of spirits and coffee are tough to top for a neighborhood grocery. The floral shop in the front means you're welcomed by the smell of fresh flowers when you walk in. Friendly staff and amazing, different soups every day at the deli counter.

Good deli, good selection of quality grocery items including craft beers. Some items are a little overpriced but for the most part they're competitive. I prefer to shop local and support small business though.

Honestly, I wish all corner stores were set at the standard of Olivia Market. They have great local and organic products, fresh produce and flowers, and super friendly staff. The store has been around for many years but still looks brand new.

The best assemblage of goods in a neighborhood "corner store" you'll ever find including the best selection of cut flowers pretty much anywhere in the city - not a large selection but not run of the mill stuff

This place is really good if you're on the way home and need a few items. Their products' quality is fantastic, and for the quality, it's pretty inexpensive in comparison to other stores. My only complaint is that it's very small. For example, they don't have a full meat counter, which is desired in a market. They do have a nice selection of fruits and vegetables though, and a good amount of cheese variety for the size. I would recommend stopping in Olivia's, even if it's just to check it out.

Really great place if you need some quality products in a pinch. I wouldn't make it my weekly shop as it's pretty expensive even for the quality items they carry. Friendly staff and a solid selection of produce given the small size.

Our local grocery store we shop at at least once per week. Great deli and even better cheese selection cut in appropriate (i.e. smaller) size pieces. Good wine & booze choices as well as off the run sodas. All the kinds of food you want or need to cook at home without using the microwave. Excellent cut stem flowers keep the store smelling great and the penny candy bins below the checkout registers are a sweet touch.

I stayed in the area for a week and I made it a point to stop in here once a day. This is everything you want from a neighborhood health food store. Great prices great selection and great customer service.

Olivia s Market is so beautiful and the selection is high quality. Prepare for a hefty price, but that s the cost of cute, small, specialty markets. They carry specialty meats and cheeses in their mini deli in the back, and I always come for some bread. There s also pints of Jenny s in the back for the locally minded sweet tooth. It s rare that I leave without flowers because whoever runs them is a genius. They have such beautiful flowers and are happy to arrange a little something for you that makes you feel special. I love Olivia s.

Horrible customer service, manager was rude and unprofessional, asked for a receipt and manager wouldn't take the time to pull it up and give me a copy. Would not recommend shopping there with him on duty

Great little corner grocery store. Very small and a little expensive but lots of good specialty items. I love their coffee in the morning every day! Also love to support independent business. All in all a fantastic little place!

A cute little pop in pop out shop. It's on the pricier end because of the area and the high quality of the products. The food is mostly health food, but there are fun snacks and a nice cheese selection. No public restroom.

My favorite local mart! Great selection of gourmet and organic foods, plus local favorites thrown in. I probably wander over 1-2x per week for a snack or beverage. Oh, and apparently a great floral spot, too I always see someone buying fresh flowers and the shop does a great job wrapping them up to look nice. Highly recommend stopping by and supporting this local business.

The only thing I wish would improve about this store is that when you use a card or NFC (Google or Apple Pay) you then have to use a stylus to select the payment method on the POS checkout screen when there is not public sanitizer available to use afterwards.

I love this little store and the staff is amazing! It's always clean and stocked with quality products. They work with local vendors which is a plus I think. Everyone must try their Senegalese Chicken and Peanut Butter soup. Not exaggerating when I say its the best soup I've had.

A neat market that has more unique, locally sourced, organic goodies. Beer selection was slim when I visited. A little pricey for my tastes though the organic foods were quite fresh. The fair trade chocolate was good. A nice place to get a quick bite while meandering through the neighborhood.

Fantastic local market with fresh produce, nice selection of cold cuts, fresh housemade cheeses, and anything you might need to cook dinner. Love dropping by after work since it is so close to where I live.

Really great selection, top-quality stuff, healthy selection of organic produce (seems to be more all the time), top-shelf coffee beans (Stumptown, Sightglass, Bowtruss, etc), the best kept secret for great soup (in the back), friendly staff, family owned, and flexible hours (open until 10pm), Oliva's is where I do 90% of my shopping now. It's not the cheapest place in town, but you can't beat the selection, convenience, and top-shelf selection in a neighborhood market.
