“Quaint small shopping mart. Not a lot of variety but I found what I was looking for. I didn’t get ‘warm fuzzies’ but this shop is in an expensive neighborhood (houses are upwards of tens of millions of dollars) which doesn’t typically equate with ‘warm fuzzies’. No one was rude but I was happy to leave. Worth visiting because this type of establishment is getting harder to find.”

“one of the best places for produce on the peninsula. I think Sigona's produce is better, but these guys are second and far surpass safeway. In the summer they usually get tomatoes from webb ranch and they are excellent. The butcher here is great and they are much nicer people than at Schaub's. The deli sandwiches are not consistently excellent, but they are pretty good”

“Literally my happy place. I look forward to shopping here and literally is often the highlight of my day because TJ's has all my favorite things and the employees are the nicest humans. It's easy to park on the street behind the store if you don't want to deal with the parking lot.”

“I used to buy flowers in this store. They always had a lot and nice flowers. But my recent visit was very disappointing, they had only few and very bad flowers. Maybe because of hot weather I don’t know, but I hope it will change ?”

“I come here from time to time to get some good bbq. The tri-tip and brisket are smoked to perfection. The portions are hefty and can be shared. They have a great wine selection and a large variety of spirits tequila in particular. I highly recommend a visit to this local market.”

“Always an interesting selection and the prices are great.

Updating my review as per Google's algorithm request. Stop by just to see if there's anything interesting today. Walked out with five 90% cacao chocolate bars at about 25 each. The same ones that sell for or $4 at Lucky and Safeway. I really need to come here more often to see what I need instead of going to the major chains”

“TJ's is my convenient weekly go-to spot for all kinds of groceries. So much friendlier and fun than a massive super market.

LOVE their $1 greeting cards, gorgeous fresh plants and flowers, and wonderful produce. Also adore unexpected specialty items like ganache mini sheet cake, herb pizza dough, slice-and-cook polenta, and so much more!”

“An interesting store with products from Poland, Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, possibly other countries. The assortment is quite large. You can find there: various cereals, rolls, teas, coffee, cookies, dried goods, waffles, candies (for Easter there were even Easter cakes), cakes, milk (sour cream, cottage cheese, butter, cheeses and curd cheeses), there are frozen pancakes and dumplings , sausages, fish (mackerel, herring, etc.), caviar (red, black), cooking (salads, soups, borscht) and much more. There is also a department with spices, cosmetics, books (which I really liked, but the prices for books are too high), and a small first aid kit.The store is expensive in terms of price, but overall not bad. The only thing that spoiled the mood was the expired products. Pay attention not only to the date, but also to the condition of the product itself. For example, we came across cottage cheese that can be consumed until September 24, 2024, but it was moldy inside.”

“I love love love this produce shop. Everything is so fresh, with fantastic quality and lots of variety despite being a small store. The shop offers a little bit of everything, fruits, vegetables, dairy items, cold cuts, canned foods, fresh bread, coffee, tea, jams, all sorts of flours, pretty much any kitchen staple one could need, and the owners take extra care in their selection. I have never once bought anything from them that didn't taste great or got spoiled quickly. Everything is always at the peak of freshness in this store, and the prices are always fair. I have stopped buying fresh produce and fruits from anywhere else and exclusively shop here.
Highly recommend this shop.”

“Well, I absolutely like shopping at family owned specialty markets.
They are warm, welcoming, helpful, and friendly.
Their deli is exceptional.
Same with produce, and the meat and fish department is outstanding.
It is very well stocked. And all the best bread vendors supply them very well.
I have done a lot of my grocery shopping there Throughout the years .
The parking is free and depending on what time of day it is, you might have to drive around a little bit, but you will find a spot
It’s a super great place to shop!”

“Upscale grocery store, with hot take out from the deli, and full meals to take out, mains and sides separate, all kinds of nice things, it's a good looking store, a little crowded for maneuvering but I really like shopping there.”

“Very busy location. Customers tend to cooperate with each other. Very smooth operation. Do not be turned off by the number of vehicles. Faster turn around than Costco. And, has the convenience store inside which Costco stations lack.”

“Always an amazing experience at The Ideal Store thanks to Al! From the moment I walk in, his greeting always makes my day. His professionalism and super friendly attitude make it highly enjoyable. He clearly cares about his customers. It’s rare to come across someone with that kind of hospitality and care. I highly recommend meeting Al if you visit—he’s a valuable asset to the store.”

“08.13.25 2:30pm It's ok. It's a clean, beautiful building in a nice location, but there are much better Grocery Outlets in the Bay Area as this one has limited stock and is too small for being the only one in the area. It's great that Palo Alto has ONE. And Redwood City too. Sadly, Menlo Park, Los Altos, Atherton, Woodside, Portola Valley, none of these areas has a discount grocers, but they should as it would be popular.

Cashiers and staff weren't particularly friendly nor unfriendly, I'd say nonchalant. There was a unisex public bathroom in the left rear upon entry, sort of unclean, but it's there.

I did get the 3ct x 45oz Prego Low Sodium Family Sized Tomato Based Pasta Sauce for $4.99, which even their own cashier was surprised at the good bulk value of it so that was a plus.”

“Abundant with lovely fruits! While Piazza's prices often exceed my budget for similar items found elsewhere, this charming Palo Alto neighborhood grocer offers me a delightful walk, window shopping, tasty sandwiches, and a warm, friendly staff.”

“A quality grocery store.I am concerned though that the building is showing its age. I hope whoever is managing/owns the building isn't just waiting around for the property to be redeveloped into something else. With the CVS being built next door, I sincerely hope we get a next generation Smart & Final coming along for the ride.”

“Been going here since a little boy on my bike. The new owner improved the quality of the store by a lot. finally takes card payments and the icecream parlor and sandwhich deli is amazing. definitely worth checking out.”

“Need food? Come here. Need a lot of food? You can get that here too. Want to look cool while browsing meat? Oh yes you can do that too.

Edit: It's been two years since I wrote this review and Google asked me to update it the same day they fired 12,000 employees. I can't imagine that's not a coincidence. Nevertheless, Safeway still continues to serve an FDA compliant product at slightly higher than market rate values. If that excites you, then you know what to do.”

“Belmont Fine Wine & Spirits in Belmont, California, is hands down the best liquor store I’ve ever visited. Located at 2035 Ralston Ave, this store offers an expansive selection of wines and rare liquors that cater to both casual shoppers and connoisseurs alike. 

The staff here are exceptional, particularly Bobby, who made my shopping experience truly memorable. His extensive knowledge and genuine passion for fine wines and spirits are evident, and his recommendations were spot-on. If I could, I’d give him 20 stars!

The store has undergone a fresh transformation under new ownership, showcasing an updated look and an even more impressive selection. While the specific names of the new owners aren’t publicly disclosed, their commitment to enhancing the customer experience is evident in every aspect of the store. ”
