Columbus Food Market is a little old, family-run market and a truly old-school set-up. It is a small, local grocer with a wide range of product available at reasonable prices, from fresh produce and pantry staples to a great selection of spices, Greek cheeses, and other imported products. The market offers delicious homemade food stuffs and tasty, authentic fresh bakery items, including fresh bread. The service is great, with always-helpful staff. The owner is a pleasure to deal with, and the elderly woman at the register truly cares about each customer. The market is described as a very clean, well-run, and terrific place. Customers express a hope that the community will support this original place so it does not disappear, suggesting it should have more customers daily. It is a perfect pit stop near Mystic Waters and downtown Des Plaines.
This store has the best organic Greek products! There is an endless variety of sweets and cheeses as well. Best business..

Little old market that is still family run. I stop in for feta cheese, kalamata olives, and frozen take and bake spanokopita. Yum!

Made a few visits here for hard-to-find ingredients. The owner is a pleasure to deal with, and the Yaya up front reminds me deeply of my Italian American grandmother.
