“This family has done so much to re-invest into this business, and it is spotless and well organized, much cleaner than Safeway. Oh, and it is the best deli around and not very many people know this.”

They also have great soups on their take out menu.”

“Trader Joe's? Never heard of it. What is it? A few years back I didn't know what's it. A friend of mine took me to there one day, I fell in love with it. It's just a wonderful place to shop. Lots of special snacks you won't find at anywhere else. I skip vegetables and meat here because they are more expensive than alot of places and no meat counter.”

“A beautifully curated neighborhood market!

Green Leaf has a wide range of products that strike a nice balance between affordability and high quality. You can tell everything is given a lot of thought and care, with lots of organic, natural and local options without feeling pretentious or overpriced.

The staff are warm and friendly and open to suggestions for new products, and they also have treats for your dog : ) it is always a very pleasant experience shopping there. I am very grateful to have an alternative to some of the more corporate grocery options close by- I would highly recommend!”

“I’m not the type of person to sit down and write reviews—but this place deserves every single minute of my time so I can truly express how I feel about it.

There are stores you shop at… and then there are places that feel like home. This family-owned grocery store is something truly special.

From the moment you walk in, you’re not treated like a customer—you’re treated like family. Mo, the owner, has created something rare. The way he cares about people, remembers faces, and makes everyone feel welcome is something you just don’t see anymore. And his two kids? Just like their father—kind, genuine, and always ready to help with a smile.

Let’s talk about prices—because honestly, they’re unbeatable. Every single item is priced better than what you’ll find at other stores. Period. You walk out feeling like you got more than your money’s worth every time.

The store itself is spotless, organized, and always stocked with the latest trending items. They somehow manage to have everything you didn’t even know you needed. And if there’s ever something you can’t find, just ask. Mo or his kids will go out of their way to make sure you get it.

This isn’t just a grocery store—it’s a community, a family, and a place that genuinely cares. Support businesses like this. They deserve it.

I don’t expect anyone to just take my word for it—go see it for yourself.”

“Travelled from DC and stayed in a nearby Airbnb. Mandela was in walking distance of where I was staying. Excellent selection of organic, healthy options with a small array of organic fruits and vegetables. They also have a hot food bar which was a surprise. I love supporting small businesses and this one did not disappoint.”

“I really enjoy Williams Natural Foods. Everyone who works there is so nice, pleasant, and helpful. The store has a large selection of bulk supplies including spices and herbs that I use to make various tea blends, as well as bulk honey and stations to grind your own nut butter. They also have eco friendly brands for other things I use in my household like cleaning supplies, jars, vitamins, etc. I highly recommend Williams Natural Foods!”

“Rivals whole foods as a general grocery store, but with prices at or below Safeway. This location is particularly well presented with most, though not all, basics, as well as the usual assortment of novelty and luxury items.”

“Early January 2026 Local grocery with a quirky and very communal vibe.

Passing through and found this wonderful establishment with interesting and wonderful displays that offer some choice items

A great supply source in the neighborhood ? ? ? ?”

“Went back again the other night! Had the melt off the bones lamb shank. They are huge and at the price of lamb shanks today, I doubt I could have bought them for much less and then still have to cook them for hours! Plus their teas! I asked what was served at the cafe (where you now have to order the warm foods) and not only did the fellow show me, he suggested dried rose petals and cardamom to increase the taste. Sure, I bought the tea and the rose petals, but he'd also gone back to search for the tea I wanted! such lovely helpful people!”

“Calling all herbalists, natural/organic, and bulk nuts, seeds, and teas lovers. The Food Mill is a literal heaven!! Wanna buy organic black beans, Medjool dates, gogi berries, butterscotch chips or dried lavender IN BULK? Come through! Everybody who works there is so helpful and welcoming. Their store-made crunchy peanut butter is also my kryptonite. Parking could use some work, but I usually have no problem snagging street parking. I am a stan.”

“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.”

“I truly love this place. It is STUNNINGLY beautiful and always well stocked. For a place its size, it has such a large variety of goods. Also, I absolutely love the amount of local Bay Area brands they carry! The owners are always so helpful and they even sell their own homemade salsas (the green salsa is my absolute favorite)! 10/10 would recommend.”

“I’ve been coming to this store for years. There was a sale associate by the name of Chloe who I always enjoyed chatting with every now and then. She was gone for awhile and I recently ran into her again, and she remembered my name and even asked about my granddaughter! I felt compelled to write a review because it shows how genuine the staff is at this store. So grateful for my friendly neighborhood Trader Joe’s.”

“I love shopping at Trader Joe’s! It is a very affordable grocery store. No, they do not have as much supplies as major grocery chains, but I can usually get a lot of what I need there. The store is always clean, the employees are always friendly!”

“Normal TJ's experience. Easy to access, has bay wheels station outside, bus stop, and parking garage. Gets really busy in the late afternoons (4-7pm) pretty standard tho as people get out of work and school and head for groceries. Staff is always friendly and helpful.”

“I was welcomed by the person in charge of Rincon Latino, Sônia. Exemplary service. Supermarket with several quality products and now she will have a new gourmet Coffee KNOX in the establishment. I recommend the place 100%.”

“SACHA
I’ve been coming to Village Market for 30 years. It has always been a special place for me, and Sasha is a big part of why. Every time I see him, I’m met with care, kindness, professionalism, and a genuine smile. He consistently goes above and beyond, and it shows.

Sacha — along with the entire team — continues to create an exceptional experience at Village Market. I don’t just come for the great food; I come because it feels like a welcoming community. Whoever is doing the hiring clearly understands what makes this place so unique and continues to protect that culture.”

“Quick, generally kind and consistently helpful and efficient staff. Lines move pretty quickly. Sometimes there’s a security person in the parking lot, always friendly. I remain grateful for Trader Joe’s fair pricing. Their organic milk is 1-3 dollars less than other stores and they also have good egg prices. Thx for being a neighborhood mainstay for so many years. ??”

“Originally I said Trader Joe’s was ok. Then I explored more thoroughly and found a lot of what I shop for weekly among the many offerings. Prices are fantastic and products are good quality.”

“Fairly large local grocery store. Possibly overlooked and underrated for their fresh vegetables and fresh meat and seafood.
The packaged items are frequently from smaller vendors which aren't represented in larger grocery stores.
It is also one of the very few stores outside of the mission where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables that are ready to use on the day that you buy them.”

“Place was packed but that's expected. Found what I needed pretty quick, got some of those frozen orange chicken. Checkout line looked long but moved fast, they had enough registers open.”

“I have been here a few times mostly for a coffee and pastry. I have had their babka pastry, chocolate croissant and the yummy bacon and cheese pastry.

What inspired me to write this review though is the service I received today. I called the store to ask if they had forbidden rice. The owner went and looked for me and they had it. But it gets better. As I was there I realized I needed some mirin for a dinner I was to prepare tonight. He said he didn’t have any in the shelves. Then he said he could help me anyway. He went to the back at the sandwich service counter and had a big bottle of it for the food he prepares. He asked me how much I needed and handed me a paper bowl of mirin!! He, the owner, went out of his way like that was awesome. I will continue to patronize this market. Yay for local neighborhood businesses! ??”

“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. 😆”
