Madison Food Mart

The same people complaining about the bit of a higher price over big chain shops are the same people who will get in their huge expensive SUV, burn expensive gas, sit in miserable traffic, and go to the suburbs to pay $1 less for the same thing... Yes prices are a little higher for some things, but personally that's quite fine to me, to have a corner store literally around the corner from where I live. The owner is quite nice and friendly, the store has character and it's calm, and has most of what I need in a pinch. Every neighborhood should have stores like these.

Have been stopping by for last minute ingredients and chatting with owner for years. This week I stopped by, complimented his hat and he mine and he shared a poem out of a thick sheaf. As a poet it tickled me. Shop local for little surprises!

Tiny locally owned market with all the things you forget on your shopping list. Very fair prices for a corner store and convenience. Produce is hit or miss.

I lived down the street from this place for 2 years. Loved the owner and the people who worked here. They always seemed to have what I was looking for (from Tums to Avocados to stamps) and treat everyone who comes in like a friend. Highly recommend.

Tbh there items there are cheaper there then that Festival Foods place , it may not be that big of a store but still a nice place to shop there, the owner a pretty nice guy who been running this store since 2001, btw the owner even sells these cool wooden objects in the back near the cat food (swords, cutting boards, bowels) I highly recommend this place, his cash register has all these old coins from around the world, it's like a work of art, I hope this store continues to keep running it's business

Edit: past comments with a one star are from users who stolen from the store fyi

one of the best shops in the neighborhood. you can get almost anything from food items to beverages and bear. All the people working there are friendly and caring. Th working hours are so convenient9-11 at night. highly recommened

You pay for the convenient location. It's not somewhere you'd go for all of your groceries, but when you just need something quick this is your place.
The owner is hilarious once you get to know him.

Fantastic little corner market and they have everything you may need in a pinch. Ignore the hate!

Great little store with an awesome owner!

the people there are really nice. go there all time on foot for ice cream sandwich and a sixer.

This is my favorite local pit stop!

Friendly local store.

Has everything!

Neat and tidy little corner shop, but only shop here if you're desperate - a 200% markup on basic food staples is ridiculous. $1.50 for a can of cream of mushroom that can be gotten for $.50 at Woodmans? Come on, guys - charge $.75 or something but 200% is crazy.

Other than that, it's a nice shop. But I only come here when I'm desperate.
