Maxx’s Produce

I live less than a block from this cute little produce store. It has what I need and then some. The husband and wife are very sweet and accommodating. It feels very home-​y and welcoming. Lots of produce in a somewhat small place but it doesn’t feel crowded. Definitely my go to store!

This is my go to neighborhood bodega, and there are other choices in the neighborhood. The warmth and kindness of the lady who works here is unmatched, and pleasantly different from the grungy attitude that some other stores in the neighborhood have. The owner was in once and I asked him why I didn’t see his usual half gallons of fresh squeezed OJ and he said he didn’t like there taste of the current crop. Pretty good sign of the quality he expects and sells
Recently the lovely lady who works here generously gave my fiancé and I a couple bananas and a loaf of bread before a long road trip we had. Where else in today’s busy world does someone have time for kindness? She has forever won my customer loyalty.
Also, they get fresh Amish eggs every Friday which are delicious and I hope I don’t lose mine by spreading the secret on here. I don’t necessarily buy every product I need here but I admit to thinking about what I can find there just so I can stop in, get a few things (eggs, oj especially), and support a local store.

This is actually from my FB status —
As usual, the lovely woman at the local grocery store handed me the receipt after I bought a bag of goodies — freshly squeezed orange juice, baby kale, blueberries, and chocolates. I didn’t realize that she in fact gave me something else until I was about to walk out. That was a tube of throat drops that I didn’t pay for. I went back, full of surprise: «how did you know that I need that?» She responded with a kind smile: «I noticed that you were coughing when you walked in.»
Kindness is something we can give without strings attached (btw since when have we become too busy for that?) Let’s not forget that the world needs us, and life is simply too good for my grateful heart.

This place is wonderful. Most of the prices are excellent, and the owners are super friendly and helpful. The selection is pretty great — not a ton of items, but many well ‘curated’ things, such that you can get most of what you need. Produce is fresh and is between cheap and reasonable. Sue’s produce is slightly cheaper for some items, but overall this place is very affordable for fresh produce.
On occasion, I wish they wouldn’t carry certain organic products over non-​organic produce, especially if that means there’s only one brand/​option of that particular product. For example, they carry parchment paper, but only recycled/​eco-​friendly parchment that costs $ 5.50 for a small roll, rather than a more affordable brand.
Overall, this is one of the best grocery and produce shops in the immediate area.

I’ve lived next door to Maxx’s for the last year and don’t know what I would do without it! Despite the fact that it’s tiny, they always manage to have everything I need, even more obscure ingredients. Their produce is always fresh and the staff is as friendly and kind as can be. Our neighborhood is lucky to have Maxx’s!

This is the best little market/​produce market in the area. The owners are incredibly friendly and kind. The produce is always fresh. I think while I lived there we shopped there nearly every day. They also carry some staples (milk, eggs, etc.) and specialty items like gluten-​free stuff. Much better than the other choices in the neighborhood.

No one can exceed the quality and freshness of their produce. The service is exceptional friendly and helpful. The owners are knowledgable, especially Kim who has long experience and patience. Sorry Jim, you’re also a great help.

They have almond butter!!! I can only find Justin’s Nut Butter only for over $ 10 – 13 bucks online! But they sell it here for $ 7 so WOO HOO! A lot of paleo and health-​related things in here. I definitely want to come back and get more stuff. From flours, raw sugars, non-​dairy milk, etc… I love it! Small but adorable.

super friendly and well priced. They have korean sweet potatoes, fresh fruit, and the prepackaged chicken salad is good for a quick pickup. Their tofu and veggies are also alot cheaper than most markets around Rittenhouse. Definitely in the best location which is a block away from Rittenhouse Park. I probably stop by to buy groceries almost every single day.

Well I guess people are happy with not so fresh produce and ok service. But me I’m a little more picky when I buy produce. I really prefer Sue’s. they are super friendly and the produce is always on point. And it’s a lot more pricy, GO FIGURE?

Favorite spot for produce. Friendly advice & dialogue as well as fair prices with consistent quality. Family owned & managed. Want to learn about juicing? Go here. Want to not learn about juicing? Go here, & don’t mention juicing.
Wonderful & local. Hooray.

I love this place. The shop is stocked from top to bottom with delicious, fresh, healthy stuff. The fresh-​squeezed OJ is everything – I never liked orange juice, but I love theirs. The cashier is always so incredibly nice and threw in some emergen-​c when I told her I thought I was catching a cold. If I could give a store a hug, this would be the one I’d choose.

Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed Maxx’s after nearly seven years of amazing service!
The wife and husband who own this store are great. The wife is so pleasant. Her voice soothes me just like a preschool teachers. (shout out to Mrs. Corcoran!) She is always helpful giving you tips on how to keep your produce/​fruit fresher, recipes, which chocolate is really good.
They carry a really well edited variety of things. Especially baking items, yesterday I noticed black-​strap molasses! Certain items are cheaper here than at Food and Friends. Mustard was a buck cheaper here. Their produce is excellent. Their fresh cut up fruit is divine plus it comes with a free banana. On fridays get here early for the bagels and challah from Rollings a kosher bakery in Elkins Park. Also during purim you can order hamentashen from the bakery.
A big perk is freshly squeezed oj, it’s some of the best. Find it in the fridge towards the back of the store. You can’t do all your shopping here, unless you are a very healthy vegan/​vegetarian. In that case yay for you being so virtuous! However, you can certainly get all or most of your produce and some staples!
Once you shop here a few times the owners will recognize you and ask how you are or where have you been! and remember things like how you don’t like bananas. You will see the wife walking her cute little dog in rittenhouse square too, they live right above the shop. It’s a great family owned shop I’m happy to support!

I really like this place. The produce is consistently fresh and delicious, and they also carry a respectable selection of general grocery items especially considering how tiny the space is. It’s clean and tidy and well lit and just feels the way a neighborhood grocery should feel. Competitive prices on the fresh produce, though other items might be a little more expensive than if you went to a supermarket. Worth it for the convenience and positive vibe, though!

About 90% of my meals involve something I bought at Maxx’s. Their produce is reliably fresh and inspiring.
The couple that owns the place are lovely and they really get to know their customers. I always have a pleasant interaction here and frequently learn new recipes while standing in line.

I wanted to give these guys more than just a one-​liner.
First, don’t let the 4 stars fool you. The store is a 5 star store, but the prices are just a little high to earn that 5^th star from me. To get 5 stars you gotta be good and a bargain.
This store is great. I walk out of my way past a produce store closer to my home to shop here. The produce is fresh. They also sell a lot of homemade type things, like chicken salad, artichoke dip, etc.
They have a nice selection of herbs and spices. They prepare fresh cut fruits and vegetables if you don’t like to chop ‘em yourself. They have bread, meat, and cheese.
Overall, a clean store with fresh stuff and a nice selection. Stop in, tell them Michael sent you. (They won’t know who that is, but tell them anyway!)

Love it. This isn’t a replacement for your grocery store (at least not if you’re looking for raw meat products and a freezer section) but it’s a fantastic place to swing into any time.
They have so much crammed into such a small space! Great Lebanese flatbread, fabulous fresh fruit cups made on premises (steeply priced, but always bursting with flavor), superb produce (Persian cucumbers), a ton of bulk nuts, dried fruits, trail mixes.
Two things I always go for: their fresh-​squeezed juices (in the case with the milk in the back) and their farm-​fresh eggs (in the produce case).
I just wish that, being Korean-​owned, they had home-​made kimchi. :(But then, if they had that, I’d never leave.

Whoa — expensivoso! But very friendly nice Korean lady at the counter and GORGEOUS looking stock — a copious amount of produce and groceries stocked floor to ceiling. Reminds me very much of some of the NYC mini-​markets I used to frequent.
A nice addition to the nabe.
We got a nice container of chunked mango for $ 4.00 and they threw in a free banana.

Agreed that this is definitely an excellent, «Oh shit, I really need a…» shop.
Owners/​folks who work there are super nice and know where things are/​if they have what you’re looking for. Soft NPR or classical music over the air. Celestial Seasonings tea, Soy Vey, cheese, chicken/​veg/​beef broth, and pasta sauce on the shelves. For a tiny place, it packs a punch.
They have a decent selection of produce but especially the staples — garlic, potatoes, onions, lemons, etc. — so if, hypothetically speaking, you’re making stir fry and you realize you’re an idiot and you’re out of ginger, this is the place to go.
They also have the non-​produce staples, too — bread, dried spices, milk, eggs, etc. More importantly, they carry almost every variety of Bobbi’s Hummus. A.K.A. the best hummus ever known to man. So when you’re hurting for dinner ideas, pita + Bobbi’s jalapeño + cucumbers + any other random crudités = satisfaction.

Great little corner store. As you would expect with all corner markets it is a little bit more expensive but the convenience and the friendly staff make up for this and make it an excellent «Oh shit, I really need a…» shop.
The fresh juice is a nice touch. The OJ and pink Grapefruit are lovely. I tried the Orange, Carrot and Beet and it was a bit earthy for me but no doubt some will like it.
