Нэшвилл, 718 Thompson Ln, Nashville, TN 37204, United States

If you’re driving down Thompson Lane near Berry Hill and looking for something more exciting than the usual big-box grocery store, you’ve got to pull into the lot at Aleksey's Market at 718 Thompson Ln. For those of us in the 37204 zip code, this place is a total hidden gem. It’s been a neighborhood staple for over 20 years, and walking through the doors is like taking a quick trip to Europe without leaving Nashville. It’s a clean, cozy, and super friendly spot where you can find flavors from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and all over Eastern Europe that you just won't see anywhere else in Tennessee.


The main draw here is the incredible deli and smoked fish counter. They have a massive selection of specialty sausages, salamis, and cured meats that make a regular grocery store ham look boring. If you’re a fan of smoked fish or want to try some high-quality caviar for a special occasion, this is the spot. For those of us who love a good "comfort food" night but don't have time to cook from scratch, their freezer section is packed with authentic pelmeni and pierogies (traditional dumplings) that you can just boil at home in a few minutes.


What really distinguishes Aleksey's from a standard market is the hot food and bakery. On certain days, they have fresh-made specials like borscht, cabbage rolls, or savory crepes that taste exactly like something a grandma would make. Their bread is also a local favorite—the dense, dark ryes and crusty loaves are perfect for a hearty sandwich. If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll lose your mind in the candy aisle; they have bins full of imported European chocolates and hard candies that you can mix and match by the pound.


The vibe is very welcoming and totally unpretentious. You’ll see local residents picking up their weekly staples alongside foodies looking for that one specific spice or tea. It’s a reliable, high-quality anchor for the Nashville international food scene. Whether you’re planning a fancy charcuterie board, looking for a unique gift in their souvenir section (yes, they have Matryoshka dolls!), or just want to try some imported European soda, Aleksey's Market is an essential stop.

Pro Tip: Don't leave without checking out the Medovik (honey cake) in the dessert case—it’s light, creamy, and goes perfectly with a cup of their imported tea!

Small, but had a nice selection of European bakery items, sausages and supplies to make your own foods.
The person working was knowledgeable but curt, which slightly tainted the experience. Still, I would return if in the area, just to be able to get things I can't find elsewhere.

It's an Eastern European market in South Nashville. The store sells food and other things from various countries of the former USSR.

Great variety of Eastern European delicacies!! I’ve shopped there often and have been very pleased with their meats, caviar and other choices.

Such a great find. Max took the time to help my daughter pick out some fun candies, which made the visit even better. We also grabbed fresh bread, pickles, and some fantastic butter. If you have Eastern European roots like we do, this place will feel like home—but honestly, anyone who enjoys discovering new candy and food should stop in. 10/10.

A wonderful market focused on Eastern European food items. Staff was very friendly, and very service oriented. The place is not huge, but they try to put a lot in there. The Deli/meat/fish, and cheese case is wonderful. Great teas, and some beverages and confections. Jarred goods, frozen pierogis too.

I have always enjoyed shopping at Alexey’s Market, and my previous visits were excellent. However, during my last visit, I was disappointed by the service from a young employee.
He was unfriendly, did not seem to understand the difference between salami and cervelat, and did not listen carefully to what I wanted to buy, including the cheese. Good customer service and product knowledge are important, especially in a specialty market, and I believe staff should be better trained.
I hope this was just an isolated incident, as I have had very positive experiences here in the past. I would like to continue supporting this market and hope to see improvement.

Approximately 25 years ago I was introduced to this amazing market. I have not been a regular customer but have always enjoyed each visit. Today I introduced one of my children to the store and I purchased more items than before. I’m so happy with the entire experience, especially the gentleman on duty to provide assistance with the cold deli and check-out, that I’ve decided to make shopping here a priority! The variety of inventory, freshness and pricing cannot be beat in Nashville. I encourage you to shop at this local gem.
