Fort Point Market

I’ll keep this simple… For what it is– it’s perfect! Moving from Pittsburgh just a few days ago, we have a great appreciation for actually being able to really walk everywhere. Having markets like this for the basics (and wine and beer of course) is a luxury we didn’t have so much before.
For a small space, it’s amazing what they pack in in here. If you live in the Ft Point area, I would highly recommend it!

Great «little» market with phenomenal selection of spirits, craft beer, wine and basic (and less basic) groceries. The staff has been nice when we’ve gone and their prices are generally fair… especially when you factor in the convenience, as residents of the Fort Point area.
Fort Point Market will likely become our go-​to daily grocer for both the adequate selection and convenience. If you’re a Fort Point resident and/​or work in downtown, it’s a great option!

This was the closest place i found to the convention center that had a cold Diet Coke. I don’t understand why. Anyway the store is very large and has lots of items. There is even ice cream if you go all the way to the back and then u-​turn to the left. But Diet Coke in a an area where none exists elsewhere.

I was in Boston for a conference, staying at the Residence Inn on Congress, about a half mile from the convention center. Tired of eating out, I searched for a grocery store and the Fort Point Market showed up, right across the street. I was a little leery looking in from across the street– liquor as far as I could see. But, there’s nothing else close by, so I gave it a try. I’m so glad that I did! Their grocery section was small, but virtually every product is all-​natural, organic, gluten-​free, vegan, etc. hardly any «big box» type brands. Everything from snack food, to frozen meals (Amy’s and Evol), to personal care products (7^th Gen, Earth’s Best, Alba). I asked the worker (owner?), if he had any smaller packages of butter (instead of the 4 sticks), and he opened it up and I was able to purchase just the 1 stick I wanted! This is truly a first class establishment.

Really good selection of beer and wine in a great location. It’s small but they fit a lot in there. Great snacks and refrigerated foods like dips, cheeses, hummus, juices and more. The only problem is that they seem to have a delivery/​restocking issue and stuff on the shelves is frequently expired or expiring soon. This has happened to me many times here with hummus and juice, and once when I bought a pack of hot dogs (they were frozen but had expired over a year prior!).
It’s a convenient place to have in the area, but make sure to check the expiration dates on everything! Great as a liquor store though.

Stumbled upon a surprising selection of pre packaged vegan foods at the back of the market. One package is less than $ 6 and is enough for two meals (or one really big indulgent meal). Also surprised to see microwaveable Indian food. Have been back several times and everything has been good. Nice owner and employees.
The aisles leading to the back of the stores are loaded with organic whole foods at affordable prices. A really nice find if you work in the neighborhood to get some breakfast food, lunch, and snacks. Fresh fruit; sushi delivered daily; craft beer; red and white whites; with a chilled white wine selection.
Too bad the concrete building is suffering and has sidewalk protection to keep pedestrians safe. Trillium is in the same building. Hope it gets some TLC soon.

Smaller, but excellent beer selection. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff.
Quick story: I found out through Twitter that they managed to get a very difficult to acquire beer. I shot down to Southie from Malden only to find that it sold out within a matter of minutes. The owner asked for my information in case more of the beer came in. Sure enough, I received a call from them the next day to let me know that another small shipment had arrived and that they would hold it for me. Great service and dedication to their customers.
Needless to say, they have a new supporter.

Whole Foods meets niche convenience store. Great selections of brands, cool people running it, and a much needed addition to Fort Point.

These guys are pretty great. I helped hem realize they were charging way too much for some of their Dogfish Head beers (which they carry as many of as they can, around 9 different ones that I counted) and not only did they change the prices on the spot, but charged me even less as a one time courtesy for helping them stay competitive with area shops. Highly recommend!

The owner is super nice, as is the woman behind the counter.
That said, I get charged a different price for beer every time I go there. The sushi is not good — it’s old and crusty.
The organic concept is cool, but doesn’t really work. I would go there constantly if there was a selection of items that aren’t gluten free or fat free.

The guys who managers this place is super nice and helpful! there is a large variety of foods that you won’t find at a lot of places, especially vegan food.

An obviously much-​needed spot for the ‘hood. I like the location, the selection of beers is pretty, pretty good, and what they have for groceries and etc. is alls tops notches. The guy behind the counter is glad to see ya and helpful, and dat ain’t always da case in a lots of places. They’re fleshing the place out with lots of goody-​goodies. Glad that they’re here, and glad to go on by — give ‘em a tries…

Seems like they’re going to have a specialty in organic products. Noticed they had stocked their shelves today with Alba shampoos and cleansers, vegetables and rows of gluten-​free cookies and crackers.

Seaport Convenience is the latest addition to this (slowly) developing neighborhood, and it’s aiming to be your go-​to place for trendy wine and beer. The small but diverse selection of wine is positioned at the front of the store; beer is farther back, with a respectable selection of craft brews. (Four-​packs of Delirium Tremens? Yes, please!) There’s a smattering of groceries, again tilted toward yuppies (think Kettle Chips rather than Lay’s). There’s also a very small selection of honest-​to-​god liquors, mostly niche brands rather than bar-​stocking basics.
As noted, the store opened in early August 2012 and the shelves are still pretty empty (and many items don’t seem to have price tags yet). The store suffers a little from trying to do a bit of everything: smaller selection of booze than a dedicated liquor store, fewer groceries than a local market. But the manager is friendly, and hopefully this place settles into its groove.
