“I have been going to Re-Up for a while now and im very much liking it. The folks there are super friendly and helpful and take time with you. solar all of the products I have bought are great. the bamboo TP is my new Fav.”
“This is a wonderful neighborhood supermarket at a great location and an ample variety of goods. We can’t wait for the deli to open. Thank you, Moheeb, for opening this store. Welcome to the neighborhood!”
“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.”
“THE BEST food EVER. The sausage is so good you need to buy 2x what you need as you'll eat it on the way home! cheeses, beer, golubki, ham, soups! everything is so good and CHEAP and the owner is so COOL! Everything there is GOURMET! go... NOW!”
“Hello I'm diva, a original kid that was raised on the block known as 24. I saw knd mart over the years and they only got better. The energy, the love when I come home is beyond matched. I call it not just my home store, but my rainbow store, full of treats, household things, and many more, not to mention daily stocked with fresh shit. Gne n bring bk the link n salami sandwich. Luv yall
Go check them out.”
“Comfortable deli environment for a Persian lunch. The grocery section is packed with foods from all over that part of the world. Great choices, nice people. Amir is the great host!”
“Loved recently learning about this establishment- I have yet to go in! From the exterior they looked friendly and offer fresh produce in an area that used to be heavily industrial with limited options in healthier foods. I would totally support if I’m back in the area! Updated from previous review on 2024-06-29”
“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! ??”
“I love Trader Joe's. I've shopped there for years. Always better prices than say, Safeways. And the foods they offer seem healthier. TJ's employees are always friendly and helpful.”
“Expect a few fist fights over parking - this place is crazy busy. Excellent variety of grocery store goodness. Good place to stop if you have a recipe that requires a hard to find ingredient. Expect to spend some time in the beer aisle. The bakery looked pretty awesome but I can't confirm the taste.”
“The parking is crazy here. There are even two parking attendants in the lot to keep people from backing into each other. The store is nice though. If you can find a spot to park.”
“I enjoy this location because it's on your way to the Bay area and not too far away from the freeway. We usually stop to load up on snacks for the airport. Thai chili almonds and dried mangos are our favorites.”
“This is the best place to buy freshly cut flowers....they last a very long long time and inexpensive compared to Safeway (no bueno) or Whole Foods (about $5 more and usually all open). I love lilies and they last over 10 days to 2 weeks! Enjoy!”
“I recently visited the grocery outlet in Richmond, and I was pleasantly surprised by their very low prices and a large variety of various products. Also when I went to pay, I got a cashier name Diana it was not only very friendly, but extremely efficient and extremely quick She thanked me very politely and warmly when we were done, and she was a real breath of fresh air. I had a wonderful experience due to her professionalism and friendliness”
“In a world of supermarkets, I love a corner neighborhood market. Great selection of snacks, drinks, candy, and grocery items. Went for the cheessteaks . Have to say, for the little corner shop, they were pretty good! They make them fresh, call ahead if you don't want to wait.”
“Hardworking people work here. I live not far from Oak Grove Plaza and unfortunately there are often empty shelves there. But in this place there are no such problems.”
“I came across this market one morning looking for some produce, and mostly come back for the customer service as overall stock is pretty limited. After dropping off my oldest daughter, my youngest and I will come by for a coffee and small treat and just enjoy watching people Chat at the tables out front. Such a sweet little environment.”
“Neighborhood Corner & Liquor Store is a mainstay on MacArthur and staffed with helpful and friendly folks. Good Sëlection of wares behind the counter and not.”
“This is the best grocery store in the area. I travel 30 minutes to shop here. Well worth it. Some of the freshest & hugest selection of fruits & vegetables to be found under one roof. The butcher shop in the back of the store is newly remodeled. The butchers are very friendly & helpful with suggestions.”
“The last time I came here was over 4 years ago, and yet I still randomly think about their watermelons to this day; they’re that good. Get the large, almost perfectly black ones if you see them. It’s worth the price”
“Managers at the helm always very nice about answering questions and gracious at accepting returns for occasionally bad products. Well staffed checkout means lines are rarely crazy long, though I mostly go early before the masses come.”
“This is my favorite Trader Joe's. I like tge way the store is played out, I like the workers, love the location - prices are the same at all TJ's, however, next door is Safeway, and we all know how high they can be.
My only complaint is they keep stop providing some products that I just loved - like now they only provide their frozen pie crust during the Oct - Jan season. Anyone that bakes, bakes all year round ?”
“I took such a wonderful kimchi workshop here! The instructor was so knowledgeable and the kimchi is delicious. I love this shop for anything I need for a culinary adventure.”
“Love this location, lines move fast, all checkout lanes are usually open. Very helpful staff, and the store is organized in a way that makes sense. Items are stocked regularly. Parking can be difficult.”
“Great friendly service, respectful worker.You need to be there to experience what i am talking about .You want disapointed .My favorite store.Keep up the good work.Bless up.”

“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!”
“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.”
“I love this little place! I’m a sales rep for the Arborist Gin and Fleurette Gin and it’s always so nice talking to the owner of the store and working with him! It’s also one of the only markets in the East Bay that sell our products, and they’re really good. They definitely have a nice selection.”
