“This area is blessed with such a wonderful fixture in our community. The owners are friendly, personable, and always make stopping in for a drink or a snack or bottled coffee a delight. They have a great variety and get new items not infrequently. Prices are naturally higher than some chain, but no big box store discount can replace the welcoming environment of Huntington Market and the delightful owners. I'm going to miss them when I leave Boston.”

“I enjoyed my experience at the babushka deli. The staff were very friendly and there was a decent selection of authentic Russian goods actually sold in Russia. My only complaint would be that the candy section will potentially have some stale items. It is sold at $4 a pound for candy. But you cannot tell if something is out of date because the main package is where the Best buy date is found. Not the individual candies themselves. Although so far I have only found two that were stale. Otherwise it's fine. Some might say that the food being stale adds to the authenticity lol. I'm not a sissy so this doesn't bother me very much. Although it would be much more enjoyable if it wasn't stale. Really the only items that you have to worry about being stale are any chocolate with wafers inside. Even then. It's not guaranteed to be stale. About half the shop or 1/3 is Russian goods, and the other half or 2/3 is normal American snacks and liquor. Monday and Tuesday they have 10% off for any Russian items though!”

“I have been here a few times and it’s a go-to when in the area. I’d honestly give this higher than five stars but I unfortunately can’t since the limit is 5. The staff were super friendly, kind and helped me find what I needed.”

“I come here strictly for the 2 poland spring liters of seltzer deal for $3. and it never disappoints when it comes to that deal! people are always scratching mad tix in there, there's even a little table where you can get your scratch on.”
