Littleton’s Market in Columbus combines a gourmet grocery store with an all-day restaurant and cafe, making it a popular destination for food and wine lovers. The market offers high-quality meats, seafood, produce, and specialty grocery items, many of which are sourced from growers and suppliers not previously available in the area. The fresh products from the butcher, seafood, and produce departments serve as excellent ingredients for the restaurant’s dishes and housemade provisions.
While not a place for everyday shopping, Littleton’s is ideal for those seeking quality or specialty items. Visitors enjoy browsing the wide selection of wines, cheeses, and gourmet products, including favorites like macarons and Italian rainbow cookies. The store also features a bakery with delicious, unique pastries that draw people from afar, even requiring long lines and waiting times.
The cafe offers a relaxed atmosphere, with options to sit inside or outside by the fires, making it a great spot for a nice lunch or a drink. The shop exudes an old-world charm and feels like a specialty shop, with quality second to none.
However, some customers have experienced unfriendly or rude staff, especially at the pastry stand, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite this, Littleton’s Market remains a top choice for those seeking gourmet goods, specialty items, and a cozy place to enjoy quality food and drinks. Parking is ample, and the shop is open most days from 7 to 8.
Overall a terrific experience. My wife and daughter's mean was outstanding. Appetizer was outstanding. Coffee ☕️ was amazing... my own mean sat under a heat lamp. That was the only disappointment. That can be fixed Otherwise, great place

Such a fun experience. We ate inside and walked around the market afterwards to discover so many unusual items. What I didn't like was that almost all of the tables were high tops. Sitting outside would have been better, but it was raining. There were still folks out there under cover though.

Food was AMAZING! Flounder and skirt steak tasted fantastic. Enjoyed the bruschetta app too. Server was helpful with rec's. Had to chase down the server to get app plates and place order but, overall a very good first time experience. We sat outside which was perfect!
