Urbana Market & Spirits — Local services in Portland

This has been my go to store since I moved to Portland. I have spent a considerable amount of money at this small convenience store.

Unfortunately over the last week or so I haven’t been able to purchase or redeem lottery tickets since they have decided they too want to play and spend hours (and I mean like all day) purchasing their own meanwhile ignoring the customers.

Not allowing me to purchase my own.

Overall the attention to customers has been poor as of late and around the same time frame there was days where I just stood there needing to pay for what I had purchased only to be invisible.

I pride myself on supporting small businesses and once I find a place I like I become a loyal customer.

I’ll invest my dollars in someone’s else’s small business moving forward.

Thank you.

Best of luck on your...

Great little store with a huge variety since it's the only store in the area. No fresh produce, but almost everything else. They also take requests and do their best to accommodate.

Wine and liquor abundant. Beer is almost all IPAs, with a few exceptions.

Good hours and they stay open a bit longer on the weekend.

Staff has always been great. Owner is part of the community which i really appreciate, and her family helps out on occasion.

I see other reviews with one star talking nonsense. Staff is diverse, customers are diverse. When one person is working, sometimes i have to wait but never more than 2 minutes and i have never seen a customer ignored or treated in a bad way.

I pop in almost daily for a beverage and chat about the neighborhood. Trying to talk them into selling hot chocolate for the...

A little bit of everything and reasonably priced considering the selection and the area. Cashier staff is friendly and occasionally you'll see the owner working the day shift. There's some nice hidden-good-values throughout the store such as almond milk for $2.49 which is pretty cheap considering the weight and shelf space it takes and $1 cold Iced Tea in the refrigerator. The sandwiches are hand-made and excellent.

Some items will give you pause such as pretty much ANY pet food can for $3 each. Ouch! Fido or Mittens will like it though. It looks like good stuff.

Ice cream has good pricing and okay selection. Same with beer. Candy selection is just okay, too, but the price is a bit high on these items...obviously a popular aisle...
