Matherne's Market at 440 on Third

One of the most essential things we have downtown. Super friendly staff, and a full grocery store with everything you need. I love being able to bike or walk over and just grab something real quick. Without them, all we'd have would be the bodega downtown (which I also appreciate!) and that's no substitute for a grocery store. One of the most essential things we have downtown.

Was looking for a nearby market to buy some fresh fruit and some other items to eat a quick dinner at the hotel and Matherne's was perfect. It was a Friday evening and the drive was only 10 minutes from our hotel and since it was the evening, downtown parking was not difficult and we actually found free street parking. They had a wide variety of items for a small city store. We found fresh cut-up pineapple and watermelon, hummus and pita chips, refrigerated Panera brand soup to heat up in the microwave, and some fresh sushi and some bottled beverages. Prices were not that bad considering we were shopping in a city market in downtown Baton Rouge, just a little bit more expensive. You can also take a quick walk over to the Mississippi river before leaving the downtown area. The store is very clean and safe and it actually has a huge wall safe in the store so this building must have been a bank at one point.

Local downtown market/mini grocery store had a little of everything one would need from hot food to groceries to wine, spritzers, Blue Bell ice cream to fruit/produce, meat and dry/canned goods. Friendly service and very convenient.

Excellent variety of items. They seem to have a little bit of everything. All the staff was really friendly as well. I enjoyed their wine selection and the sushi I picked up was good. They also have a salad bar, fresh sandwiches and good prices. I will definitely be back. Excellent variety of items. They seem to have a little bit of everything.
