Millvale Market

This place is lovely and friendly. I've lived in Millvale since 2020, and the lack of a place within walking distance to grab groceries was heavy. I was SO happy when this market opened! They have fresh produce staples like tomatoes, apples, and garlic, as well as a plethora of gluten-free or dairy-free options for those folks who need those products.
This is really nice because to get food like that you need to travel either to Market District or Whole Foods, both of which are a bit inaccessible unless you have a car.
This little grocery store filled that gap that Millvale had, so I'm very pleased.
Everything about it is a five-star experience, so I'd like to explain why I dropped a star; it's the prices. Some of the pre-made food options are pretty expensive. I saw a 1-serving portion of pasta for $8-10, which is a bit much. I know that the Millvale Market sources from local businesses, and since they aren't subsidized or supported by massive corporations, they have to price themselves appropriately (for instance, a BigMac would cost $16-19 without government subsidies!).
I know people in Millvale are probably accustomed to the prices they see in the local ShopNSave, which are admittedly a lot lower. Millvale Market is playing to a younger crowd who likes organic food and local businesses, so yes, it is a bit more expensive. The food is tasty and the products are quality, though, and the staff is friendly and passionate- so I am happy to pay the premium and make sure they're successful. This niche needed to be filled quite desperately, and I'd much prefer to get a locally-made $4 (delicious) brownie than a lottery ticket or two cheap sodas.

Wishing them success! I know I'll keep coming (especially for those brownies).

Fresh produce. Dairy and refrigerated options available. Fresh coffee, made to order sandwiches, pastries and bakery items made daily. Nice little corner store. Accepts EBT/SNAP.

So good to find a local grocery store with local products, quality products and unique products you don’t find in the processed food aisles of a Giant Eagle.

Worth the drive here, and across the street? A REAL French bakery!

The surprises you find in metro Pittsburgh! 🙂

Staff is super friendly! I usually always get a cup of coffee on my way to work. Coffee is amazing. Better than gas station coffee. Sometimes I don’t feel like making coffee so there’s that. Then sometimes I usually get the grab and go foods that are already ready to eat for lunch sometimes and always delicious! I love my local market.
