I seriously love you Rosemont.

I could wander this tiny gourmet market heaven everyday. This is the type of market that makes you truly believe in small business groceries again and I'm proud to say it's 5 mins walk from my house. I can count on them at least keeping basic needs (good eggs, milk, various produce, wine, cheese, local cured meats) met and if I need something quick and nice and of good quality for those impromptu guests they have that too. Also they provide excellent impulse buys, like cookies and house made pizza. We have literally taken house guests to this market while touring the neighborhood to show off how lucky we are to such a place near by. I am proud to support this local business as often as I can!

The perfect little neighborhood market. If I move back to Portland some day, I would love to live close to this place. It has lots of stuff: local veggies, fresh baked breads, a little deli, steal cuts oats in the morning, etc. etc. Love it.

i love this place to death, and though there aren't any other reviews on here yet, i think that goes for pretty much the entire neighborhood. everything the rosemonts do, they do well. from deli to produce to prepared foods, they're really without rival in the portland area for my money. and their bakery can stand side by side with the best portland has to offer. <br><br>john naylor, the guy who owns the rosemonts and used to manage the portland green grocer, has done an admirable job giving these small markets an exceptionally wide appeal. yeah, they've started getting a bit of a media image for their fashionable ideals and their attractiveness to high-minded gourmands, but the truth is that they're just neighborhood markets, done right. by which i mean, this place isn't for foodies only. it's for everyone. whether you just want to come in and grab a sandwich and some suds or whip up something worthy of larousse gastronomique and pair it with a great bottle of wine. although i do imagine it's probable that if you don't consider yourself a "foodie" -- and it's a goddamn annoying word, i agree -- you might just find yourself, by no fault of your own, becoming more and more excited about the food world in the course of shopping here regularly. <br><br>just keep in mind that, true of any neighborhood market, you might not always have your "ideal shopping experience" here, you know, where with the assistance of peppy, eager-to-help staff you find exactly what you were looking for and more. but once you know what this place is kinda about, you won't trade it for anything.
