We often visit Shop Rite and this amazing Middle Eastern supermarket in Oakland primarily focuses on Yemeni foods, spices, and confectionery, and I must say, we're always blown away by the experience. As soon as I walk in, we're greeted by the vibrant colors of the spices and food items. The store is always stocked with an impressive selection of authentic Yemeni products, including various types of rice, grains, dates, figs, and olives. The middle of the store is equally impressive, with a wide range of aromatic spices, including cloves, hilbah, and za'atar.What really catches my attention though, is the confectionery section. Shop Rite has a vast array of exotic sweets, including Baklava, Mamoul, and Basbousa, all made with traditional ingredients like honey, pistachios, and almonds. The staff at the store were incredibly friendly and helpful. Overall, my visits Shop Rite is always an incredible experience. It's a true sensory adventure, with vibrant colors, enticing aromas, and delicious flavors. They also have a meat section in the back, as well as a to-go restaurant near the produce section that I will try in the future. I would highly recommend this store to anyone looking to explore the flavors and tastes of Yemen.

They allow dogs in the store including on a leash sniffing the shelves. I was told it was a service dog. A young huskie with a teenage owner holding the dog back from wanting to go everywhere.

Great local market ran by amazing people. Owners are friendly and staff is like family. Nabil is the man and kind to all people that he interacted with. I love coming here to get some Yemeni items, but they have everything you need to fill your house up. The outside of the store might not look as nice as other places, but it's all bout the the inside that counts!!! I will be back soon.

Don't buy produce or packaged meat from here! Went to grab bacon and it was warm and so was the sausage. Somebody will get sick

Bitcoin ATM ! Low fee too. It's next to the ATM on the check cashing side. It was fast and easy to use.

To be honest, i never paid much attention to to the place. I just drove past assuming it was a taqueria. I rarely buy turkey wings, so i don't really have a 'go to' spot to purchase them. My aunt suggested Shop Rite. She said grandma shopped there for many many years back in the day. It's a small grocery store/meat market. We made a bee line to the back of the store to the butchers area. Their meat looks incredibly fresh! Impressive! They have fresh meats as well as smoked meats. They sell fresh seafood as well. You simply pull a number and wait to be called. A bonus about Shop Rite, is that they sell spices and seasonings geared toward Soul Food cooking. Stuff you would never find at a Safeway. I would have given this place 5 stars. I took away a star due to the grocery prices being expensive. I will say, the meat prices are good! Very Reasonably priced! I'll for sure patronize the butchers area.

Great staff, A lot of awesome Middle Eastern products and a well stocked produce selection, I would give them more stars, but there is a distinctive unpleasant smell in certain parts of the store and an aspect of shady characters in and surrounding the store, bottom line they need better security!

My first time here and i loooove the different kinds of meat available to purchase. I can buy thick short ribs for cheaper than usual, and cut thin enough for bbq. They also have smoked ham hocks, smoked turkey wings etc. i have yet to explore the whole place but i definitely will come back for short ribs.

All I can say is get some security up in this parking lot! I would NEVER shop here! I'm waiting in my car and all the crackheads in Oakland flew to my driver's side begging for smokes & cash. Get tf outta here already!! This is where I get SUPER ghetto when "HELL NO!" means, "Of course, what was I thinking? Please repeatedly demand my shyt! "Geez!!

This community market comes in handy for virtually anything you may need on a whim. They carry a diverse range of ethnic food products, fresh meats, produce, and whatever else you can think of. I don't really care for the smell of meat but it's a meat market directly in the back so that's expected. Before you travel out of your area for a specialty item, give this place a visit first. They may have exactly what you need and more :) Best of all, the staff has been nothing but friendly and kind to me.

Shop Rite's entry is thru the smoke store on the right side or a doorway on the left side. in this area, there's no lucky's, safeway, whole foods, raley's nor any majors. Foodco exists on the edges of Oaktown before MacArthur becomes San Leandro. drug stores like Walgreens are common.Shop RIte is typical of groceries in this area, there's a meat department in the rear. a counter in front, a smoke shop with it's own sales people. a Lucky Food Express that isn't with unseen staff/patrons.small can beers not sold here. only pints & bigger. stacking is sporadic. placed in wrong area. stella artois (2.28) was the classiest beer seen.though there's a lot of stuff here, i only liked the beer.

I have been there as recent as last month ,the smell isn't as bad as before ,they have done some changes to the front end of the store ,if feels more cleaner ! the hamburger meat at the butcher block ,it's a hit or miss ,sometimes they have too much fat in the hamburger More like 40/60 the quality of your food is not as good when you use that hamburger meat By the time you drain all the fat out you have not much meat, But other than that I will continue to shop here but I'll skip on their hamburger meat!
