Littleton’s Market

We love their olive selection! It’s so delicious and fresh, they have flavors that are more unique than Whole Foods. The pastries were also very good. There’s a prepared food area and I recommend the Porchetta, it’s delicious with the grape side sauce.

Seafood tower: yum! Recommend.
Hot chocolate: yum!

Carefully curated space and even more thoughtful collection of products.

Great wine offerings, amazing cheeses, meat and fish are top notch. Produce is unique to Columbus - all very beautiful and not things you can get just anywhere (or in some cases - anywhere). Many items across the board that are not to be found in other stores here in town.

In addition to the market there is also a coffee shop / wine bar / restaurant to enjoy.

We have been several times and it has all seemed to be running remarkably smoothly. Friendly enthusiastic staff!

Immaculate.

Really enjoyed my experience, the food made by the chefs is fantastic. I would highly recommend the rotisserie chicken near the checkouts. It would be hard to describe the flavor except that is immaculately rich and flavorful. I saw on the Instagram story they were making these and coating them with duck fat with some sort of herb. Really high quality flavor.

Also enjoyed the breathable layout, friendly and attentive staff, and reasonable prices for the high quality.

Good to see so many local businesses represented, and unique brands that I have not seen before. It takes some time to explore what each product is because you will be exposed to a lot of new foods, which is a plus in my opinion as I am interested in trying different and high quality food.

Good to see the butcher from Huffmans there, and I saw one of the owners walking around. I definitely like the vibe, as I could easily see myself bringing people here to hangout and try food. This more of a foodie Valhalla than an industrial grocery store with endless brands of ketchup, and I appreciate the bold choice to go for depth instead of width. (Although there is a large amount of width in gourmet selection between all the gourmet offerings) Between the cafe, wine selection and tastings, center island, butchery, and grocery selection if you enjoy food and are open to learning to expand your palette I would highly recommend a visit. Businesses like this help support Ohio organic farmers, bakers, mushroom growers, and it’s nice to see them represented and supported.

Definitely a location that has many flavorful experiences available, and a refreshing and unique experience for the area overall. A lot of thought went into the design, layout, chef selection, and curation of foods.

Great market with a lot of different brands including local vendors. It’s a plus to see local vendors being highlighted through the market.

I’m looking forward to trying more pastry items and the prepared food. The butcher and seafood area looks robust.

Awesome selection of some of the best products in Columbus and across the country. Small but very well curated. A little pricey, but the quality is there. Love the full assortment of Rancho Gordo products! The prepared foods look good too. I’m going to try the mac and cheese which looks amazing.

I love how many local food makers are featured at Littletons! I also love the little cafe with seating, drinks and local pastries. They have tiny shopping carts which my kids loved taking around the market. Fresh, organic fruit. Less options = less decision fatigue, and more easier shopping :). Definitely a wonderful addition to the community!

We just went here and will be back soon! This is definitely more of a specialty store, rather than a place you go to for all your groceries. The olive selection is amazing and the tangerine chili olives were some of the best olives I've ever had. The non-alcoholic drink selection is the best in Columbus. But what impressed us the most was the deli selection. We reheated the food in our oven at home. The dishes were on par with some of the better restaurants we've been to in town. Puts Whole Foods deli to shame, though prices are same. Honestly a meal from here was quite a bit cheaper than most nice restaurants for takeout. We will be back soon!

Littleton's is an awesome specialty grocery store featuring extensive wines, cheeses, fish, produce, meats, and prepared foods. You can get milk and bread but it is not designed to be a small grocery store like UA Food Mart or a small grocery store with speciality items like Huffman's. The interior was gutted then rebuilt and the public space was expanded. It even has a large skylight and feels quite open. It carries many high end items that the Giant Eagle Market District dropped in recent years or never had. More like an improved version of Wild Oats. Very well staffed with friendly people. There is a wine/coffee/tea bar at the front of the store with some food.

Below are some photos from several weeks ago that show the layout but do not capture the liveliness or multitude fresh items at openning.

This market and café are such an incredible addition to Tremont center and Upper Arlington. This modern day Manhattan-esque Market features a unique menu including caviar and french fries to farm fresh made salads with green goddess salad dressing. The food is vibrant and put together very artistically. The craft cocktails are just incredible. The rum cocktail with ginger liqueur is quite good.. Mimosas are made with fresh squeezed orange juice and the finest champagne. What a wonderful place to stop in and have a drink, and grab some groceries. The wine selection is on the smaller side, but also on the spectacular side. The refrigerators, cases, and coolers are all stocked neatly and amply. I cannot wait to go back. This is going to be a fun little favorite spot to hang out.

Wonderful cafe! Pastries and coffee were amazing and the grocery store offerings are top notch!

I just stopped by today because I figured they were open . They opened in December. This is a great asset to Arlington. The store has everything. They have a bakery, wine section, fabulous meat section , cold cuts and cheeses.section , coffee and tea section , gift section , and , medicines, etc. I got smoked turkey
slices and two Italian rainbow cookies from their bakery. I sampled both items and both were delicious.
In addition, it was raining and a manager walked me to my car 🚗 with an umbrella over my head. That was a surprising act of extra kindness, going above and beyond expectations. Thank you. I would have snapped a picture of the rainbow 🌈 cookies but I ate both and let me tell you they were the best ever.
I will definitely 👍 return and bring a friend.

What a lovely specialty grocery store! Wonderful bakery beautiful desserts!!! They have a great selection of prepared foods to take home and warm up. There is a nice small restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining. Produce selection was vibrant and fresh, awesome cheeses to choose from, overall I love this place.

What a fun place to shop and explore! They have items from many different cultures, including Italian (primarily), Indian, Asian, and what most would consider “American”. They also have a meat and cheese deli, a grab-n-go section of snacks, a cafe, and lots of fresh produce. The dairy section is especially expansive. I love that they also have a small section of plants from the local plant store “Stump”! The price ranges are reasonable, I was able to find everyday items (sparkling water, crackers, juices, etc) for comparable prices to any grocery chain. The workers are extremely kind and seem to enjoy their work environment. I can’t wait to go back!

A specialty market filled with curated items! A different experience and quality than your local grocery chain which is reflected in the prices. Exceptional customer service. I had the pleasure of meeting Ed who is, simply put, a gem of a human. He made me feel so welcomed and valued! He even assisted me to my car, loaded my groceries and returned my cart for me. I was having quite a drab day and Ed turned it around! Thank you for making my experience at Littleton's so pleasant, Ed! The world needs more people like Ed!

What a place! The beet salad from the counter was sooo good. The meat selection is amazing and we opted for the ribs. One of the butchers was so helpful telling us to cook them on low heat in the grill (on the top shelf) straight on the rack and boy, they came out AMAZING.
The live mushroom bar?? Wow... So fun to see and we tried Lions Mane mushroom, never heard of it but gave it a go, because why not? Whoa .. sauteed on the stove with olive oil, they turned out great!
It was fun to see how packed it was at 2pm with people having lunch. I have heard they interviewed and flew in chefs from all over and you can tell this is a secret gem. Or maybe it isn't a secret anymore 🤔 would love to come back to dine in!
Well done!!

We went inside for the first time last night. Wonderful atmosphere and everyone is very friendly. I bought some strawberries to try - you could smell the sweet scent strongly in the produce section. They are DELICIOUS. Reminds me of Summer. We will go here again.

I purchased Italian sausage for New Years and was grossly overcharged per pound- I contacted the store via email (their phone doesn’t work which is so odd!) with no reply. Will never go there again. Beware and check your receipt.

Update! Customer service contacted me and explained they were having phone issues plus there was an error with the bar codes in the meat department and reimbursed the entire meat order for the issue. Very impressed! I will definitely be back.

Such a beautiful market with incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff, as well as delish food and wine! Absolutely going to be a staple in my food shopping from here on out. Everything is well within proper price range, and comes from either local or international suppliers. Get the warm focaccia bread and compound butter to snack on while you have a glass of wine at the wine bar! 10/10!

I briefly visited the recently-opened Littleton's Market, in the Tremont Shopping Center in Upper Arlington, on 12-12-2023 [while I had been there with a friend] and then returned on 1-2-2024 for a more extended visit.

Between 1952 and 1986, Tarpy's market had been at that location and then closed after many years of service.

Huffman's Market had been at that location for longer than thirty years and then sold in 2018; UA Market had been at that location for approximately four years and then closed.

During December 2023, following a delay because of the need for significant remodeling [including building a large outdoor pavilion in the parking lot], Littleton's Market opened for business.

One of the features of Littleton's Market that I immediately noticed is that there is an in-store café where customers may purchase and consume food and drink while they are visiting that store.

I had been particularly impressed by their large upscale "prepared-foods" section that is replenished regularly because so many people are buying what they are preparing.

I learned to my surprise that all of their "prepared food" is prepared "in the back" rather than being prepared at a different location and then brought to that store for sale.

I have never before visited a store that has so many employees per square foot.

I asked the guy who had been working behind the "prepared foods" counter if there is "a line at the timeclock" when people are arriving for work; he told me that everyone "logs in" with their smartphones.

If you are looking for a "gourmet" grocery store, Littleton's Market is definitely the place to go. They have a huge selection and offer many choices.

Such a fun and boujee place to stop by and pick up some specialty foods! Grab a vanilla latte or a glass of wine and make sure to pick up some delicious strawberries. I love their cheese selection, produce and breads! Welcome to the neighborhood, my wallet feels your presence LOL.
