| - I am so glad The Common Market has come to our neighborhood!
The Oakwold location has all the great things about the original South End location with the addition of glorious breathing room. My #1 beef about the old spots were how cramped and crowded they were, but this new Market retains the charm and spirit of the original with the ability to move freely.
The deli is exceptional. The menu covers just about anything you could want, and the folks behind the counter are happy to customize to your preference. For example, I ordered The Firehouse on gluten free bread and asked "can I get a bunch of mayo on that?" When my sandwich was ready, it was messy and slick with mayo, just like I'd asked. Perfect!
The ordering and paying system isn't perfectly intuitive, but it's easy enough to get used to. Order whatever you'd like from the deli, and they'll give you a ticket. Take that ticket with you and grab whatever else you'd like -- bottled soda, chips, other snacks -- and take everything to the cashier for payment. Grab a Common Market shirt or tchotchke while you're at it. Easy enough.
I love that the attached patio is dog-friendly. I'm happy that they have gluten free options. I 'm pumped about the friendly, funky space. I wish this Common Market the best of luck in the neighborhood and hope their success brings other great local businesses, too.
