Prince Market

Prince Market on Prince Avenue has earned a 4.9 star rating with nearly 190 reviews, building an outsized reputation for a small market and prepared food operation. The space functions as part neighborhood grocery, part prepared food counter, and part community gathering spot, and it does all three remarkably well. The prepared food is the draw for many customers. Sandwiches, salads, and daily specials are made with quality ingredients and the kind of care that you associate with a chef driven kitchen rather than a deli counter. The grocery selection focuses on local and specialty products that complement the prepared food offerings, making it a useful stop for people who want to bring something good home. The Prince Avenue location is in the heart of the Normaltown and downtown corridor, a prime spot for foot traffic and neighborhood regulars. The space is compact but well organized, with a warmth and personality that makes it feel like a neighborhood institution even relative to its size. Prince Market is open during standard business hours. The combination of prepared food, specialty groceries, and community atmosphere makes it one of the more distinctive small businesses in Athens. It is the kind of place that makes a neighborhood feel complete, and the 4.9 star rating shows that the community agrees.
