“Always friendly and helpful, always an abundance of fresh produce as well as eggs, dairy, cheese, and more other staples than one would expect in this compact space.”
“We love the North Berkeley Farmers' Market — it’s such a great mix of local produce and community vibes. It’s especially nice having a weekday market just a short stroll from home. Perfect for picking up fresh, seasonal goods mid-week and connecting with neighbors. A true neighborhood gem!”
“Be prepared to wait in line. But it’s worth it for the mushroom aisle alone. Check out the clearance shelf outside for super ripe stuff at a huge mark down.”
“Marcus is extremely helpful and friendly...
A true neighborhood market! 🥰
Great and convenient place to shop. So many necessities in stock...
Check it out! 👍”
“South Berkeley Produce is an absolute gem! 🥦🍓 The selection is always fresh, vibrant, and high quality, with a great mix of organic and locally sourced produce. I especially appreciate that they offer halal meat options, which are fresh and well-stocked—such a big plus for the community. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about helping you find what you need. I also love their unique specialty items and pantry staples—you can always discover something new. The store is clean, well-organized, and has a welcoming neighborhood feel. Definitely one of the best spots for fresh groceries in Berkeley. Highly recommend!”
“Fabulous independent, family-owned supermarket in Berkeley. It's huge, with a wider selection of organic and natural products than Whole Foods. It has a large produce section, lots of fresh & prepared foods, and some unique finds. They also offer a lot of local, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free items. I came in for a few things and filled a whole cart of things I wanted to try. 😆”
“I loved this place under the previous management, but Barbara and Christine have elevated this place beyond just a grocery store.
To be sure, it's a solid grocery store with all the essentials (bread, dairy, pantry staples) and some interesting specialty items. But they're also just so friendly: when they ran out of my favorite cereal or cheese, they remembered me when it came in. They're expanding their produce selection too and often have very local, in-season fruits. While it's sometimes more expensive than the big stores, the prices are often comparable, and I think for the convenience and quality it is well worth it.
On top of that, the expansion of Casa do Petisco and the addition of new events like samba night make this a neighborhood hub too! I'm looking forward to attending more things.”
