“Sharif’s is my spot! And has been for as long as I’ve been living in West Oakland. My go to for my morning coffee, paper, drinks, fresh veggies and ice cream..and of course lil here-and-there’s like hot sauce, noodles, air freshener, TP, etc. Whole family who runs it are good folks, and they keep their store stocked and make sure they ask their customers what we need or would like to see them in keep in stock. They recently renovated/expanded the interior, and it looks awesome! Super spacious, more fridges, new slushy machines, and revamped fresh veggie section amongst other nice upgrades. Love these guys. Quintessential neighborhood corner market.”
“Continues to improve in all ways. Great owner and service. Always lowest prices. Usually a short wait. New credit card pumps have helped. CC prices same as cash.”
“My neighborhood store! Best in all of the town, staff is wonderful and they really care bout their customers. Not just alcohol but tons of necessities - comin here you can get the supplies to make yourself breakfast, lunch, and dinner, clean your whole place from top to bottom, and of course get yourself a beverage from a large variety of options.”
“They’ve actually got a surprisingly good selection here for being a corner store. You can even find minis of Crown Royal, La Gritona, Ole Smoky, etc. The mini selection is almost comparable to BevMo.
Do be advised, they only have Pepsi if you’re going down there for a Coca-Cola!
Working women hang out front on Friday and Saturday nights, just as a heads up…”

“We’re renting an Airbnb in Berkeley and were looking for a local grocery store and discovered the Dover Market on 60th & Dover! While the market is much smaller than a big supermarket, it has the important staples that made us very happy! They also carry Straus dairy products including their wonderful ice cream flavors!”
“Busy.
There were not many photos. Like for product line up.
Many spots have like too many pictures.
First thing you see online is good ice cream range of flavors.
Or interesting drink flavors, even milk alternatives.
Saw bunch of unique items in person.
And first time, some new products.
First time, he gave formal welcome. Nice.
Normally cashiers don't say anything, also nice.
Must be co owner or something, said he was gonna update page. But I don't see many owners or businesses manage pages.
Even honest about dangers in neighborhood.
Was also tent or pop up outside for testing virus/free vaccines, for a brief time.
Cares for cleanliness.
Plenty interesting sweets.
And salty or savory snacks.
Healthy drinks.
Nice health bars
Or protein section/aisle.”
“Great place for all kinds of Chinese and other Asian food products (black bean sauce, sriracha, tofu, etc) as well as fresh produce. Nice selection and helpful staff! Only wish they were open longer hours! :-(”
“I came by to trade in my winning Lotto Scratcher ticket for more tickets. There was a constant flow of customers coming and going at this popular store. The cashier was quiet but efficient in taking care of my transaction.”
“They went through a management change and let me tell you. OMG the prices are reasonable now, theirs no more bad Oder in the store, they have the best personalities, and most of all they ARE CLEAN. Not surprised that they are getting so much traffic.”
“Such a great bodega. They have some of the coldest fridges and loads of choices. Snacka of all types, so many beers, wine, everything. The shop keep is super cool. The name really should be the five star market.”
“This is a chaotic place. People come in off of the 13 and there are often bad vibes combined with road rage angst. The gas is cheap so it is always busy. Good luck and stay calm!”
“Really good place they got a lot of things and they are really hard workers and the costumer service is off the chain especially form Khalid and moe and I really recommend this spot for everybody”

“A very clean, well lit liquor store with excellent selection and prices. However, there is a lot of convenience store items as well - plus some things that are just not found elsewhere, like multiple brands of TP in larger pack sizes! Family owned and operated. Clerks are always very polite and helpful if needed.”
“I Love the proximity to my apartment. Has frozen foods and of course, treats, sodas and much more. Can't really beat its convenience and overall it is well kept.”
“I like this place because it's convenient and anything that you want or need let them know they'll try to get it for you prices are going up a lot it's kinda taking me out of my element but I love the people they're very nice and accommodating within reason don't take their kindness for weakness”
“Love these guys!!! Shopping there for over 5 years. They are neighborhood family market and I watched them grow. They are always pleasant, their prices are reasonable for the convenience. That little store literally has everything you might need, plus! Always fresh and clean.”

“This is further from my house but I love going there when the Asian guy is there. He is always pleasant and gives me back my correct change. I love the cookies and have gotten them for years. I look for and appreciate people who cater to their customers.”
“Grabbed a container from the hot bar, got to checkout and realized the price seemed high. Cashier checked and saw it was mislabeled and apologized for the hassle.”
“A true hidden gem in town! This is not your typical neighborhood convenience store, it’s part mini-market, part deli, and packed with drinks, accessories, and just about anything you might suddenly need on the go. If you’re nearby or just passing through, this place is a must stop for cheap, delicious eats made fresh to order, sandwiches, fried chicken, milkshakes... You name it.
The candy and ice cream selection is impressive, with tons of variety for every craving. What really stands out, though, is the service: the staff is incredibly friendly and fast, even when the store is full. Great food, great prices, and great people, definitely worth checking out!”
“Been going here for years great atmosphere and great service .. the owners are very nice .. also Sam's has one of the best sandwiches I've ever eating and love that he has meat boxes at a set price perfect for parties or bbqs or even if u just want to stock up”

“Tony Star Gastion is a solid 5-star rating for its outstanding cheap gas and its unbeatable prices, the people that works there had excellent customer services. I will be back 1000 percent”
“I’ve consistently had a great experience here. The staff is always helpful and even assist me with carrying heavy purchases out to my car. Their level of customer service really stands out, and I truly appreciate the extra effort they put in to make shopping easier.”
“- It's a great store where you can find almost anything, and the seller is an honest and respectable person. The only drawbacks are the dim lighting and the lack of price tags on the items, which means you have to ask the seller for prices frequently.”

“Just wanted to annotate for pump three. I saw alot of these weird shiny silver specs in the fuel and poured some in a clear plastic bottle and noticed them in there too, the specs settle in the bottle. Hopefully this gets looked into. It left quite a few in the filler neck when it spilled a little to catch in the bottle. Im not too familiar with it. May be normal. Who knows. I go to this gas station every week and this is the main pump used”
“For a liquor and wine spot, this is also a great little corner market. They keep it stocked! Besides the obvious at a liquor store, you can also find burger buns or cat food!! they got it!! Very clean, the store is space challenged but the variety makes up for it..”
“I started taking my car here about 15 years ago. Now my adult children and even my ex husband all take their cars here because I rave about this place. Toan’s motto is “do good work and don’t cheat people” They’ve more than lived up to that motto. Toan always finds the most cost effective solution, e.g. a rebuilt transmission, and when an old lemon of a car was on it’s last legs, Toan told me not to spend anymore money repairing it. It “died” a month later. We were taking my son’s VW to a “specialist” in VW’s every month to fix the same issue. When we took it to Toan, we never had that issue again”
“The kindest and most helpful customer service ever!! Absolutely love it here!! They really go above and beyond to assist their customers!! Much thanks to the staff”
