There is no more cut cheese. It's all prepackaged run of the mill stuff. The person standing behind the counter has no experience. Can't bode well for the future of this wonderful little store. The wine store in the corner is closed now too. My guess is the rents have been raised and their going to redevelop this property.

We had everything from pastries to sandwiches, and it was all excellent. I had a chocolate croissant and my daughter had an apple pastry. We also ordered a falafel sandwich and a chicken sandwich. All great.

Food here is decent though very expensive especially compared to the stellar selection at the nearby Berkeley bowl.But mostly, asking for and defaulting to a tip at a gourmet grocery checkout is wild and leaves a sour taste
We opened our Berkeley location of Market Hall Foods (formerly The Pasta Shop) in 1996 with the goal of providing the same stellar products and service as at our Oakland flagship. Our Berkeley store includes our renowned cheese counter, deli and grocery—featuring a stellar lineup of extra virgin olive oils, best-quality pastas, vinegars, teas, baking items, culinary gifts and a world-class assortment of chocolates and confections.
This location also features the only full-service bakery in the 4th Street neighborhood, offering everything from breakfast pastries, cakes, pies, sweet pastries and cookies to housemade breads and hot, delicious pizzas fresh from our pizza oven.
