Golden Goose Market

Convenience of its location and the products it carries earns it a 5 star review. I docked it 2 stars how ever because of my experience with their sandwiches. My girlfriend ordered a turkey sub, fresh, delicious. I however ordered a sausage panini. First off, it was in a sub roll, not a panini as advertised. Ok, no big deal. Then i see the guy working the deli come out with gray freezer burned slices of sausage and throws them on the griddle. Meanwhile, behind the deli counter there’s fresh italian sausage. The first bite into my lukewarm «sausage sub» and the entire thing was thrown in the trash. Dry, rubbery and freezer tainted sausage with a horrid after taste. Maybe the marinara he completely forgot to put on the sub would have masked those off putting flavors, but i doubt it. I’ll come here for groceries out of convenience when needed, but ill never be ordering a sandwich here again. Next time I’ll walk the extra 5 minutes to monicas and enjoy the religious experience that is their italian sub.

This is a teensy market with exorbitant prices on the mediocre selection that they’ve got. If you live here then it’s what you need in a pinch. But having just bought a bunch of cilantro that was half the size but significantly more than what they have at a regular Whole Foods, I’m a little turned off by the place. Everybody who works here is super helpful, and it’s a pleasure to shop here. When they get busy they quickly crank up all three registers and the line moves quickly. I’m imagining they have sky high rent. With the recently opened public market a few blocks away, I can’t imagine this place will continue like it is for long.

My favorite Italian subs in the north end, period. Easy in-​easy out. Grab a sandwich and bring it over to the waterfront, chill and enjoy! Staff not too friendly, prices pretty steep, but the Loaded Italian is the best. Fantastic wine selection as well.

This is a great neighborhood market with a fantastic selection. Groceries, fresh meats and vegetables, fresh made sandwiches and pizza, great beer and wine selection, and lots lots more. The price is obviously more than you’d pay at Star Market, but this is the best you’re gonna get in the North End. On top of the great selection, the staff is fantastic. They even have a «beer and wine» guy that’s always there and willing to help you navigate their selection of alcohols. And add to all of this free food samples and wine/​beer tastings on the weekends? What a place!

I was a little reluctant to come here with the $$$ sign. However, it was 9pm on a Sunday, and I needed to buy some vodka. Most liquor stores close early on Sundays. Luckily, this shop is open until 11pm every day. They have a nice selection with both the 750ml bottles and 1.75 liter bottles. The price was not too abnormal, but I only really looked at price for the vodka. It is also a small grocery store with a meat deli.

this neighbourhood market provides great variety with limited space. It is more like a full service grocery store, complete with produce, a deli, and gourmet section.

This is the perfect neighborhood market — the people working here are so friendly and the food is delicious! I typically stick with the salad bar each day for lunch but enjoy a wrap or slice of pizza once in a while.
Perfect for days when we are celebrating and need an impromptu bottle of bubbly or are craving an afternoon snack.
They even have a great selection of organic/​vegan snacks.
Love this place and will miss it when we move our office to a new neighborhood!

Omg the customer service was very good, Small joint but with alot to offer, This was my first time here for lunch and I tell you the sandwich was Amazing! But why missing the one star is because when I got home to eat my sandwich only 1 bacon strip on my Large Golden smoke turkey sandwich, But I still ate the hell out of that sandwich can not deny it’s good taste yumm will Definitely! return.

nice grocery store in a convienet location in the n. end. good selection of hot foods, groceries, beer and the deli has boars head products. a little treat for when im over that way

Moved here from PA where you can just hop in the car and drive to your local market, missing that somewhat, but this place is close to everything in the North End. You can get great meats, frozen food and fresh veggies — highly recommended. Plus they have great beer.

GREAT place! Just moved over to the water side of the North end from Salem Street, and this has now been my go-​to grocery store. Not cheap mind you, but when you’re used to Boston market’s prices, I guess it doesn’t phase you. They have everything… deli with great take out options, sushi, fresh fruit and veggies, great beer and wine selection, dog food, cleaning supplies… seriously everything! I feel like I spend half of my month’s pay at this place… always walk by and think I need something and leave with about 15 things. Dangerous. People who work there are super helpful too. Great little neighborhood place worth checking out.

What a cute little grocery store in North End. From the outside I could not imagine how different this store would be.
Here are few things that make this one such a special little store.
— it is huge from inside. It has so many sections that are so categorically separated from each other. Deli, meat /​seafood section, general groceries, liquor store and finally — a specialty italian section.
— it also has a ready to serve sandwich /​sub /​food section where you can order and get freshly prepared goodies.
— the liquor section is not crazy big but given how efficiently the space has been used — it has a lot to choose from. Beers /​great wine collection
— the Italian section has spices /​condiments imported from Italy. Extra virgin olive oil and special balsamic Vinegar are sold from 2 huge tanks with taps and they have special deals for repeat customers. And not to forget different flavored vinegars one can pick. Some of the condiments I saw there I have never seen before.
Very impressive. A must go if you are in the area!

Makes the most of a very tiny space. You’ll probably be running into other shoppers non-​stop around the tight corners, but their selection of quality products is pretty top-​notch; great drinks selection too. If you live in the North End or Financial District, this is probably your best bet for all-​around-​grocery-​store within short walking distance.

If every corner store was like Golden Goose Market, I’d be the happiest woman alive. If you think your corner bodega/​deli is perfect, you haven’t been here. It is absolutely perfect: sandwich section, well-​stocked groceries and produce, excellent customer service. Oh, did I forget to mention that they have a whole section for wines and spirits? Yeah, that’s probably the most important part.
A friend wanted to throw a mini surprise party for her friend in our hotel room and she wanted to get a bottle of champagne and candles. I’d use Drizly but given the area with lots of bars, you’d think there’s a specialty shop for liquor, which you can hand-​pick your booze. Luckily I found this place nearby and I’m so glad I did. It truly lives up to its name. It’s a super convenient place in a nice area, and near all these hotels and tourist attractions. It’s not always easy to find a place that sells fresh fruits and food for cheap in a tourist area. It’s small, but has all your basic needs. In one trip, my friend was able to get everything she needed – and even picked up a birthday card!
The people that work here were very warm and helpful. If you need to pick up a little something while you’re staying nearby, this is the place!

I work right across the street from The Goose, and it’s extremely convenient. They’re open pretty much all hours of the day when I’d want food, and for a grocery store that isn’t Shaws or Market Basket, they have a decent enough selection where I can get lunch or dinner foods to-​go.
A little overpriced, but saves you a trip if you’re in the boonies that is the North End with no public transportation stops.

The food is so fresh and prepared very well. The store is filled with samples of their cheeses, cookies, etc. They have everything you could ever need from weeknight dinners to dinner parties.
The italian sub is the best I have ever tasted. Homemade crusty bread. Fresh vegetables, delicious deli meat. Perfection.

The goose is open 365 days a year from 6am to 11pm. They have beer, wine and liquor as well as a great variety of groceries. And they delivery for free to the area.
The prices are not cheap, but it’s the best option for the area. I wouldn’t advise anyone living in the north end to do all of their shopping there but if you need a few things here and there it’s a fantastic option.

Overpriced supermarket in the North End with limited selections.
The only thing going for this place is the location due to a lack of proper supermarkets in the area. However, there is very little choice for most products and it’s not very easy to find a supermarket whose offering is usually more expensive than that of Wholefoods. Enough said.
Have tried their ready-​made food in the past; again, nothing special but overpriced for the taste (or the lack of).
The one good thing is they do have a decent beer/​wine selection.

My family needed a quick place to grab lunches to go since we were taking the ferry over to Geroges Island. Since it was only 10:30am, most of the nearby shops weren’t open yet. This was the closest place from the docks so we walked in. Their Italian sandwich was great! They use Boars Head meat which was delicious and they put a lot of veggies inside which made this sandwich nice and filling. They also had a wide variety of chilled bottled drinks as well as other one-​off things Iike laundry detergent and produce.

Ok, I’m not going to say anything that hasn’t already been expressed. Expensive but convenient for the north end, yadda yadda.
I’ve been looking for the best Breakfast Sandwich in the North End, and I finally found it. It isn’t anything fancy, in fact it’s pretty sloppy, but it is fantastic.
On a side note, I’ve heard the new Bread + Butter joint supposedly has a great breakfast sandwich also that I haven’t had yet, but that’s because they only serve it in the wee hours of the AM.
