I popped in to this small grocery store during a break in the conference I was attending because the hotel restaurant was packed but the weather wasn't ideal for venturing far. I was able to get a custom sandwich plus soup for a reasonable price and enjoyed them at one of the small tables near the entry. The staff were patient and helpful. A hidden gem for conference-goers looking for a bit of quiet and a simple meal!
Good selection of items one may need when staying in a nearby hotel. Bakery items in small bags were nice for snacking. Only negative to my visit was the ladies behind the deli/bakery area were not very friendly/eager to help me when I asked a question. That's not the way to treat visitors to your city/state.
Best way to be thrifty. Ready made soup, salads, and dinners to go. Deli for sandwiches or cold cuts to go. Great stop for all groceries, water, wine, beer, and snacks to avoid hotel upcharge. Prices are super reasonable. Chicken tortilla soup was really good (all three of us agreed). Tables for eating while there are clutch. Everything was very clean and all counter help was nice. Tom was very welcoming and entertaining. Highly recommend this place and will be back during our trip.
What a godsend this place is. Really can’t stress this enough. If you’re “stuck” in downtown (new east side at least), and not on somebody else’s nickel, this place will be your salvation. Good (inexpensive) food, a great little beer and wine section, morning coffee, friendly people. I was there so often, my wife’s gonna think I was dating a cashier.
Really convenient location for a store where I can run in a grab a water and a snack from my hotel at the Fairmont. Love the fact they stay open pretty late. Wish the customer service was better. Our cashier didn’t really spoke a word to us and gave the impression they didn’t want to be there during their shift. Other than that, we were in and out.
Boasting a charming, cozy atmosphere and a menu packed with delicious options, the deli is a must-visit for anyone staying in the downtown Chicago area. Located conveniently close to several hotels, the deli is a great spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The menu features an impressive selection of sandwiches, soups, salads, and other classic deli fare, all made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is always quick and efficient. Overall, if you're looking for a tasty, convenient meal in a friendly atmosphere, this neighborhood deli is definitely worth checking out.
I love Bockwinkel’s… my favorite spot. The chicken and tuna sandwich is so great. All employees is so amazing and polite….
This is a small location versus the larger one we passed while out and about. It was just a quick walk from the hotel we stayed at which was a huge money saver since the hotel was so expensive. Although small, it was perfect for our morning needs. Everything you could possibly need from fresh made foods to frozen. Nice range of alcoholic beverages as well. I just grabbed my energy drink, bottle of water and hard boiled eggs to start the busy day while away for work.
Nice selection in the city center. Also nice healthy pre prepared meals I'm the deli and a wine and liquor section. The grocery section is just a very cramped. Can't really have more than one person in an aisle at a time causing some gridlock. I do understand the space constraints though.

We stayed for a week and every night we come to buy the dinner. Fantastic.
Yay! A great little grocery!!!
I have been here twice so far and have been very pleased with this store. The store was near the hotel I stayed and I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for my meals so this grocery store was a great alternative. The food is fresh and tasty and has most if not all accommodations of a grocery store. I would definitely come here again.
They have been my go-to store for my small shopping needs. They offer a great selection of items, and the prices are competitive. I always find what I need here, even if it`s hard to find elsewhere.
Really great selection for a smaller corner store, especially compared to some of the smaller liquor/convenience stores we used to live near in the South Loop. Everyone who works here is super friendly too.
Great spot if you're looking for an easy bite to eat and everything else is closed. Great salad bar and deli counter. My guy Andrew just made me a very tasty Reuben. Highly recommend
