The best Greek and Italian oils and vinegars in the area. Cheeses, teas and olives are amazing! Service and advice are always spot on. Love this place!

A true hidden gem! This family-run specialty food store is packed with incredible cheeses, pâté, olives, nuts, butters, and unique finds from around the world that you won’t see in ordinary grocery stores. The quality is outstanding, the selection is thoughtfully curated, and the owners are friendly, knowledgeable. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food and discovering something new.

During my visit to S. Mandros Grocery ,I had the chance to explore one of Lancaster’s oldest Greek-owned food shops. As I walked through the aisles, I noticed shelves filled with olives, cheeses, herbs, and imported pantry items that reflected decades of Greek culinary tradition. I learned about mizithra cheese from the staff, who explained how it is often used in both savoury and sweet dishes in Greece. This small detail helped me appreciate how everyday ingredients carry cultural memory. The visit left me with the sense that a simple neighborhood grocery can preserve and share an entire culinary heritage with the Lancaster community. @fandmcollege @fandm_history #FandMEverywhere

Mandros grocery is a gem in the Lancaster residential community providing quality imported goods. The shelves were filled with food that you couldn't find in a regular grocery store and versions that were not americanized such as the Nutella in the original glass jars. When I went the man working there was incredibly kind and pointed me to the container of Baklava that I ended up buying for ten dollars. The Baklava itself was delicious with a strong walnut flavor and sheets of pastry like paper soaked in syrup that exploded in my mouth. This type of baklava is clearly Turkish style which instead of having a honey syrup has a simple syrup. This mishmash between the Turkish baklava and a greek market may have happened because there was lots of mixing between greek and Turkish immigrants in the US and Lancaster specifically. If you are willing to spend a little bit more it's worth a visit. @F&M

My favorite place to find something new to eat. Amazing selection of cheese, peppers, teas, super high quality soy sauce, and more. The owner is very friendly and can help you find options you're likely to enjoy.
