“It's definitely the best grocery shop EVER, excellent selection of products, fair prices, and best of all, the store's customer service is spectacular, always very kind and helpful both in the store and over the phone!!!”
“While Stop and Shop is probably marginally cheaper, it doesn’t have the Vineyard feel that Cronig’s Market boasts. As soon as I stepped in, I could tell this was a grocery store on the Island, as opposed to a Stop and Shop that could be anywhere, just a little scrunched up. The prices are high to be sure, but so is the quality. They also have some nice touches, like an excellent floral selection and MVY postcards. If and when I return to Martha’s Vineyard, this is where I’ll be getting my groceries.”

“We were so thankful to have Black Sheep as our wedding caterer for a ~150 person wedding with a tented dinner reception. We were so impressed by Mel and her staff and they were a key part in making our wedding day a success. Their service was very professional and the food was so delicious - we received so many positive comments on it, especially for the salmon and short ribs! The passed apps were really tasty too. We would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!”
“This Cronigs location serves the up island area of Martha's Vineyard, so their uniquely positioned to provide food and products. They are limited by the space available?, however manage to provide a good selection and very fresh produce, meats, poultry and bread. They are adequately staffed and go out of their way to help and accommodate your needs.
Recently the owner retired and sold store to their manager...service never faltered.”
“I have to give a 5 star review to the staff of this store. Ryan, CJ, Lilla, Aylish, Valmir,, Michael the hard working people in produce, dairy - really EVERYONE. They have a hard job, are constantly understaffed and doing their best in a dilapidated store and still find the time to be so generous in spirit to me every time I come in. Exchanges/refunds are processed with no fuss or complaint. They give my kids the royal treatment. I’m truly so grateful for their defiant hard work.”
“A True Martha’s Vineyard Gem!
The Chilmark General Store is the heart of the community and an absolute treasure on Martha’s Vineyard.

The porch is the perfect gathering spot — relaxed, welcoming, and full of island charm. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the vibe is as authentic as it gets.
