Best supermarket in Boston, Massachusetts (MA) 2025

Great variety and selection of fresh produce. Great selection of high quality fresh baked goods. The cookie bar and individual serve pastry case are a delight to pick from! I would recommend this store! ~Brooke

This no-frills Chinese/Asian market is jam-packed with packaged goodies, a robust produce department, and a spotless, odor-free seafood counter with tanks full of live fish and all kinds of seafood. The fishmongers at work clean your fish when you order it, at incredibly reasonable prices…it’s the best fish market we found yet in Boston. The staff is kind, and devoted to great customer service. ~Jon

My wife and I recently sold our Brookline home and moved to a condo in the Seaport District. We were accustomed to the friendly, smaller town feel of Brookline as well as to having such easy access to large scale grocery stores such as Whole Foods and Star Market. When we moved we were at a loss as to where to shop and even drove all the way across the city for the first few weeks. But then we found Bells and are very happy. We met the owner and he immediately made us feel welcome. It was like being in Brookline again! He walked around the store with us showing us what was what and he gave us some really great tips about the neighborhood and what to do when. All the staff was friendly, especially the man at the check out line and the butcher. Speaking of the butcher, Bell’s has the most terrific meat section. It is every but as good as Whole Foods but much friendlier. The butcher made some excellent recommendations too. They have prepared foods too including sone of the most delicious macaroni and cheese I have ever had. My doctor told me to ease off on foods like that so Bells may eventually kill me (ha ha) but it will be a happy and tasty death. The ziti is really good too. My wife is on some diet where she tried not to eat pasta so I sneak down to the store and get me some sometimes when she is out. Bells is not large but it is bigger than it looks from the road. Like many stores in the city they don’t have a huge selection but they have most of the basic things that people need. I wish they carried more household items though. Man cannot live by gourmet mustard alone but I would like to. They were out of sponges and do not have the sort of dishwasher detergent my wife prefers but I will still give it five stars because it is an excellent place for food. ~JW

Great location! Next to a popular bar so you can get your groceries or get distracted and go for a drink 🤣🍻 This Trader Joe's store is on the smaller side but it is well kept, well organized , warm and home-y. Cashier was friendly and nice.:) Would love to visit this location again & again ~Lindsey
