I stopped in today to buy a few items and was ecstatic to see one of my two favorite cashiers. I have zero idea what their names are, but one has blonde hair and is from somewhere in Europe. The other lady looks Ethiopian. If I see either one of them, I immediately beeline for their lines. They're always really friendly, quick and patient. The blonde lady is funny. We always end up chatting about family, the holidays or anything else we can think of. I could be in the worst mood before I get there, but I greet her like one of my homegirls. I love that this place has fresh fruit and plenty to choose from for vegetarians, but honestly, those two make the visit even better. Any store can have good inventory. But if the customer service sucks, it'll make you not want to go inside. With these two women employed there, it's a win-win. I hope they never leave and are paid well!

I have been going to Morse Market for the past ten years. The staff is incredible, always helpful. The produce guys are constantly rotating and stocking. I almost never get bad produce there, and more often then not they are giving away bananas etc. I haven't seen the owner for some time, hope he's alright. The staff is always super helpful. I'm short, so I have to ask them often to get stuff off of higher shelves for me and they often do without complaint. I love also that they have something for everyone. Very extensive selection of Vegan/ Vegetarian and GF products, which is impressive for a small, family owned business. I hate the area, it's gotten so bad lately, but I hope the community rallies together and continues to shop here.

Got some things from this locally owned market. It has an okay location in West Rogers Park. Morse Fresh Market is on the same street. Has a lot of what to expect. The produce makes up a lot of the store's inventory, so be sure to get some of this. Before it was pretty common for grocery stores to be independent. It's getting to be like these are all chains, but not at this one. This market is committed to the local community, and helps introduce unfamiliar items to people. A long time business in the community. It opened in 2004 at this location. A few hard to find specialties like Caribbean, Latin, and West African ingredients can be found. They also have hot food service. Has quite a lot inside. It's located on Morse Avenue at Greenview and is popular with many people. They make a lot of the prepared foods made to order, so it's fresh, and there's a good selection of meats and vegetables.

If you are ever looking for fresh and beautiful flowers please do not hesitate to visit this store. I purchased this flowers on 4/6 and today is 4/18 and the flowers are still looking beautiful and fresh just like the first day.

Love this grocery store, I don't know if it's sculpted from the demographics in the area being a pretty diverse area, but this is just a super efficient and very clean grocery store. I honestly always found really good products and selections here from a wide range of cuisines.
