The New Eastside Market is a neighborhood store with a mix of fond memories and current experiences. For some, it is a hidden gem, especially for its hot food from the kitchen, which is considered one of the best deals in Cleveland. The perch, cooked on site, is called perfection, and the bean pie is delicious and reasonably priced. Many note the staff is really nice, courteous, helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The place is described as clean, organized, and a very pleasant experience. However, experiences can vary. Some customers find the shelves scarce and wish for more products, especially fresh items and staples like rice and beans that the community needs. They note the produce is not always fresh and some prices are surprising or too expensive for the area. Some hope to see it become more like the well-stocked market they remember. Despite this, many support it because it is conveniently close and the community needs the store.
I live relatively near here and work quite near here and it is a hidden gem especially their hot food ordered from the back. The ordered food from their kitchen is one of the best deals in Cleveland right now. The photo I posted would easily cost twice what I paid anywhere else in the city.

The Eastside Market has greatly improved over time with new management. All ten items I wanted were in the store. The employees were courteous and helpful. It was a very pleasant experience!☺
