Good Neighbor Market

Eastern European Grocery with a Wide Selection

Good Neighbor Market on 82nd Avenue in Portland carries a wide selection of foods from Latvia, Russia, Poland, and neighboring countries: sausages, cheeses, pickles, fresh baked goods, caviar, and fresh produce. The store is known for its friendly service and letting customers sample items before buying.

The shelves at Good Neighbor Market hold both everyday staples and harder-to-find treats: the beloved Alyonka chocolate, candies, sparkling mineral water, and walnut-shaped filled cookies, alongside fresh apples that regulars specifically drive in to stock up on. Traditional cast-iron kazan cooking pots for pilaf and other dishes are also on hand.

The store may be small, but it makes up for it with a densely packed selection - sausages, cheeses, and pickles are sold by weight, and staff are always ready to help track down something even when its name is unfamiliar.
