“Zaa'tar restaurant inside is a hidden gem. I've had their very delicious and satisfying falafel wrap a few times. Come here for yummy yet nutritious food with a big serving size sold for an affordable price.”

“Cozy market with lots of stalls with good vegetables and fruit. However, it would be great if there were more organic options. You may have doubts about what is organic and what is not. Beware of pickpockets when there are many people.”
“No battles for parking (use the Safeway lot) - veggies at Yasi -bread at La Farine - vino from Vino and round out your mini trip to France with coffee at Coles. If you try you can hear footsteps on cobblestone.”
“The Good Life Grocery in San Francisco California had the best, most delicious salads for our daughter, Rebel’s Picnic in San Francisco on our vacation with Deli Salads, lemon noodles, beet salad, Greek salad with olives and feta cheese. Good Life is a neighborhood treasure. Bernal Heights is Heaven.”
“I really enjoy going to that store and buying my groceries and pan. I've been going there since I was little and the men at the registers are always super nice! Very welcoming :)”
“Great local market. Not ideal for full blown grocery shopping, but great for produce, random recipe ingredients, Asian products, and snacks. Love when they roast fresh peanuts, a very comforting aroma.”
“We are so lucky to live close to Monterey Market. It has a great assortment of fresh vegetables and fruits (virtually every variety includes an organic or pesticide-free
Option. I’ve never had a problem finding someone to help when I’m unsure how to choose for ripeness. We miss Monterey Market when we travel elsewhere in the US!!.”
“sometimes you forget humanity is here in the Bay Area. Here I was reminded through a lovely French Algerian immigrant family. When I asked about the tea they had, the woman communicated,through gestures and pointing, how she makes her own tea: green tea (Sultan brand), mint, cloves, cinnamon. Everything which is available at the store. Can’t wait!”
“LOVE THIS MARKET! Friendly staff and they have the best prices on produce. I recommend this market to all my friends in the neighborhood. Support local business!!”
“Nice local market, not as large as others but always plenty of fresh fruit & veggie options. As well as other local fare such as hummus, bakery delights, bread, eggs, jam, spices, tamales, etc. The biggest concern would be the extremely limited parking situation. They basically close off a neighborhood street to host this market, so always shady & cool.”
“I love Berkeley Bowl because they have fabulous fruits and vegetables - - both organic and conventional. They are really on top of their produce. There are lots of people working there to keep it clean. They have discounted produce that is super ripe--ready to take home and use.I prefer going early in the morning when it's less crowded. I find their aisles to be rather narrow when someone is coming the opposite direction. It can be hard to socially distance in their isles. They have lots of variety.They have fresh fish (wild and farmed) and meat (organic and conventional). I have found the butchers to be friendly and helpful.If you are a senior, they will give you a good cup of coffee (part of my morning ritual if I am there in the morning). They have a very nice bakery if you have a sweet tooth.Their cheese section has cheese from around the world. Besides the bakery with wonderful tasting desserts, they have fresh bread. There deli has Asian foods, Mexican, and desserts. During Covid times--take out only.They clean their shopping carts between uses, and don't let too many people in at once. You put your own groceries into your own bag--unless you buy a paper bag and they then bag it for you.For me, it is kind of a cross between a coop and a large grocery store. I love what they have to offer!!!”
“This is a great local grocery store with better produce than Safeway and much more convenient. The staff is friendly and helpful and they don't need multiple security guards and gates at the exit. They also carry great local products that are better than national brands. This is my go to for day-to-day groceries.”
“My favorite mom and pop store to shop at. Owned by a wonderful family! They get to know there customers by name and have always treated me with the utmost respect and kindness. Highly recommend this store. They not only sell food and beverages they also carry sweaters, hoodies, beanies, gloves, sweatpants ECT. Also have barber clippers beard trimmers and much more!”
“Just read your supremely inspiring story in Madeline Ostrander’sbook, “At Home on An Unruly Planet.” Thank you for the stirr big of hope and courage!!! Eugenie in Bellingham Washington”
“Excellent spot for fresh fruit and veg. Much better quality here than at the chain grocers. Bulk section is priced decently. Their pantry and fridge items are spendy, but the convenience is great when I don’t want to hit multiple stores to make up a meal.”
“Love hanging out here. It's great for breakfast and lunch. Loads of people watching food and just an all-around pleasant vibe. The herbal and supplements department is top-notch, and there's so many wonderful nitch stores. Also has parking a big plus.”
“I LOVE This Store It's A Hidden Gem ? For The Golden Gate Residence And We Are Blessed To Be Able To Get Fresh Meat ? ? Fresh Fruit ?? And A Huge Selection Of Family Household Favorites ? Thank You Gazzali's Express Lots Of Parking ?️ And Extremely Safe Relaxing Shopping Experience”
“This is the best place for seasonal fresh produce! Everything is reasonably prices, and they have the best of whatever is in season at the time. Additionally, the staff there is really helpful. Once, I got two boxes of food, and an employee helped me carry an entire box down the block. I could not recommend this place more! If you are looking for fresh produce, come to Aloha first.”
“Wonderful spot! They have an amazing selection of products, things no other market has. I was surprised to find pasture raised eggs, grass fed beef sticks and other health friendly foods. They also have amazing kombucha on tap. Definitely stop by this place it doesn’t disappoint AND the owner Marcos is the sweetest guy I’ve ever met. 10/10”
“Everything freshEverything LatinoCasa Lucas is the spot. My grandmother on 3 restaurants in San Francisco and Casa. Lucas on twenty fourth is where she went to by her nee My grandmother on 3 restaurants in San Francisco and Casa. Lucas on 24th is where she went to by her ingredients”
“Amazing little grocery store. They sell wholesale to restaurants so their produce is always so fresh and affordable. For everything else, they pick the best of the best so you don't have analysis paralysis while looking at the shelves. The staff - especially Lupe - is also sooo nice! Highly recommend this spot.”
“Love spending my Thursday evenings checking out the local vendors. There’s a variety of produce, juices, tamales, pastries and sweets to choose from! Everyone is so nice and makes for an enjoyable experience every time :)”
“Love the meat counter and the plants. The meat is a great deal with the best marinades. Every live plant I buy here is thriving. The live plants always last a long time!”
“Good store for daily needs though it's a small one but having all essential items. Their prices are quite reasonable and quality is good. Shop timings are also convenient. Owner and staff are honest and helpful.”
“I received the Black Mission Fig and Four Citrus Marmalade as a Christmas gift and they are both amazing. A spoon full of the fig jam on plain yogurt may be one of the best things I've ever eaten.”
