Those grahams better actually be really golden. If they had a clearance rack (general or bakery), I didn't see it.

The doors wouldn't open. Wtf? The security guard then tells us, "We're closed, we close 15 mins early." Um, what? If you close early, then DON'T ADVERTISE THAT YOU CLOSE AT 10PM.

I was concerned about delivery because I live in a locked apartment building and didn't know how that would work, but decided to give it a try. Turns out it was fine. I got text messages from Safeway with updates throughout the process and one from the delivery driver when he arrived. He brought my groceries right up to the locked door and I grabbed them from him, no problem. Safeway delivered every single thing I ordered and did a good job selecting produce. The delivery came fast, too. Although there is an extra charge for delivery, it was still a good value because it was offset by the discounts I received (the $30 discount might be for first time users only). I would definitely use this service again.

The only big issue here is the line that develops. I will say that the store is a bit cleaner, better stocked, and more organized than it has been in the recent past. There's quite a bit more locked up (mostly the more female products: make-up, mani-pedi stuff, etc.) than I think needs to be but I understand why they have to. That said, the usual crowd in here is non-threatening and the store is definitely safe and in an excellent location. There are far worse locations to visit with a lot rougher looking patrons than this one. Overall I'm grateful it's right across the street from my apartment. There's also a lottery ticket machine in here if that's your thing and you don't want to make a second stop somewhere else.

HORRIBLE! I used my DEBIT card here and they actually put a hold of $75 on my account! I bought $13.35 worth of gas! Give me a break, most gas companies hold $1.00 when I called they said this is normal! I don't have $62.00 to lend to this company for a few days they make enough off of the gas!!!

I was especially impressed by the wide variety of imported cheeses, French Isigny AOP butter, beautifully marbled American Wagyu steaks, Berkeley-made NY-style bagels, Rosa Brothers glass-bottled milk, and even whole rabbit. Every aisle had something unique to discover. The quality of the products is excellent, and it's a great place to shop if you enjoy cooking or putting together a cheese board. Even the kitchen towels and small gift items were thoughtfully curated, adding to the market's cozy atmosphere. If you're looking for premium ingredients and a grocery shopping experience that's a little different from the big chain stores, Zanotto's is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be coming back for the butter, cheese, and steaks!

The last dude might resemble one of the Jonas Brothers. But what gives this place 5 stars, is the ice cream. Diridon has the widest selection of unusual ice cream in the whole downtown area: more than any other quickie mart, more than any downtown grocery store, and unbelievably, even more than any downtown ice cream store. If you need proof, look at these photos from yesterday. And there was a LOT more there than the what the pictures showed. The Tin Roof Sundae and Green Tea ice creams from the TREAT company were missing this time, but I got some 1020 to substitute. Once upon a time when cavemen roamed the earth, some grocery stores would have many of these wacky flavors on their shelves. But today's grocery stores often say that they have the widest selection of ice cream - but by mostly giving you endless brand variations of strawberry, vanilla, or chocolate ice cream. 1/13/23: Edited to add: I forgot to mention one more thing that sets this store apart from the other stores in downtown: Almost every item is labeled with the price, And almost every item is computer scanned by the cashier. If you have shopped at many of the other convenience stores downtown, you often don't know how much something costs until you take it to the cash register - and because the cashier does not check any price lists when ringing you up, have you noticed that it can seem like the prices you pay for the same items will go up and down depending on who is at the cash register, and how well you are dressed? That does not happen here, because the prices are all marked next to the products, and already in the system. So, 5 star review for Diridon Market.
