This is a decent local convenience store, and I'm very happy that it is there. That said, the prices in general are quite High, the selection is very limited, and it always feels just a little bit run down. I think it would be nice to modernize it somewhat, and to increase some of the diversity of healthy or higher-end selections, and keep the prices similar. The reason for the slightly higher star rating is that I think that the hours are actually pretty fantastic. Being open till 10 p.m. everyday can really be convenient living in this little corner of Hyde Park.

Family-run business with warm, friendly staff and an amazing variety stocked on their shelves, including specialty items you can’t find at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s. They were fantastic during the pandemic—often open when no one else was.

This little store is awesome. For starters, it doesn't jack up its prices the way lots of small corner stores do. Its produce is actually pretty good too, whereas so many corner stores just have old wilted produce. But the best part is its wide array of international foods. Just as one example, I found at least 6 different kinds of biscuits for tea, made in at least 4 different countries. And the staff is super friendly. :-)

Harper Foods is a neighborhood gem. They always have more in stock than you anticipated, with a huge variety of foods, snacks, drinks, and house supplies. Not to mention the awesome Indian ingredients! Victor runs the shop, and he's great.

Really friendly owner and carries a lot of foods that you need at the last minute, but forgot to buy on your last grocery run. In my last trip here, I found the exact cous-cous I needed as a side for dinner that night. Plus - priced almost the same or cheaper than regular grocery stores. A true neighborhood convenience store.
