    Great littlte store downtown to fill in your specialities needs. This mom and pop shop has just the right mix to of goods to tide you over between those Trader joes or Whole food runs. Get to know the sweet owner Jessica and let her take you down memory lane with the orgin story of the place. I was thoroughly impressed with all the goods I picked up that day ...Stop in soon.. Ciao for now!

    So happy to know this establishment exists. I live shopping for different food items to add to my pantry. This store has so much to offer. Glad I chose to come here to treat myself for my birthday with anything I thought would be good. The shop is brightly lit and the woman who was working there was so nice and helpful. She gave me suggestions of what to pair with my new jams and also gave me a sample of some new chocolates. Of course I had to buy some !! it was to good not to buy. This is my new spot to come to when I need some new or different food items.

    I stumbled across Anchor Pantry a few years ago when locals were posting about this new gourmet good store in Vallejo on nextdoor.com. Back then, it was a small, cute store on Marin St . with lots of offerings to choose from. I also met the owner Jessica, who was very passionate of her business and I was so happy she chose to open shop in my neighborhood. I purchased a few items and was planning to coming back to check more items out. It didn't happen right away as tragedy struck; her store was damaged by arson... Despite this setback, I was so proud our community coming together, exceeding the gofundme goal to help the owners get the Anchor Pantry back up and running. That was 2 years ago... I was recently looking for the "viral" Dubai Chocolate bar and found out that Anchor Pantry carried it in their store. I was shocked to see how Anchor Pantry has grown, with a bigger store and so many selections! I found several pistachio items to satisfy my cravings and for great gift items. Also found my favorite truffle potato chips and Rustic Bakery shortbread. If ever in Vallejo, support local and come visit Anchor Pantry! It's such a great gourmet store that you definitely will enjoy finding something here!

    Do you sell dry ice?

    No, Sorry! I believe Raley's Southampton Benicia used to carry it, perhaps they still do!? I think Powell brothers Feed Store in Vallejo has it.

    Do you carry Boudin Noir (Blood Sausage)?

    Hello Winston, I can get it but don't have it normally. It is a special order product. Takes Two weeks' or more lead time. It comes fully cooked in 1 lb. packages. Cost is approx $16/lb which is 4 links each pack. If you are interested, you can call…

Generations have shopped and eaten the wonderful food here. I ordered the Baarg and it came quickly- cooked to order. Amir has owned it the part 11 years, and his father before him. The Shiraz salad was the best I've ever had. Rice was perfection. The Baarg was so tender and delicious.. Amir made sure everything was perfect. This place is great for families and very reasonably priced for the high quality of food. The place is charming with a terrace out back and the World Cup game in tonight. They have live music Friday nights and a host of other events all month. Check the calendar in the hall by the patio. I highly recommend!

I got an assortment of Turkish delight and some pistachio baklava ($2.99). The Turkish delight is sold by weight across all the varieties and goes for $16.99/lb. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and offered us a sample of one of the flavors to try which I thought was a nice gesture. Everything looked so good, so we picked a couple different pieces of Turkish delight to try. To my surprise, my favorite ended up being the saffron, though rose petal with pomegranate and sour cherry with pastachio were close seconds. I didn't like the coconut or the chocolate one that much, so reminder to myself to skip those next time. After picking up the dessert, I did a quick circle around the store to see what they had. It's not a big store but they manage to cram a lot of stuff into the limited space!

    I have shopped at this store many times and they have a nice selection of Middle Eastern products…read more I like to cook and I find the things I need at the store. They have the best Pita bread. I have had good service from the people working there except for one older man who I think is the owner. Every time he is working there he is very grumpy looking and he glares at me like he doesn't want me there or something. I usually just ignore it, but the last time I went there he was extremely RUDE and disrespectful. I left without buying my items and I will never go back. I noticed there was another customer commenting here who noticed the same thing about this man when he shopped there. He should not be working in customer service.

My first visit when I needed help Irene was quick to come over and showed me where the pickled turnips were. I felt quite welcome. My second visit a few weeks later I found the garam masala easily but had difficulty finding a couple of other herbs so asked the gentleman up front for assistance and he was most gracious. He found one easily but the other was a bit more difficult. He told me to finish my shopping as he searched and sure enough, a few minutes later he came over to me and gave me the Asafoetida. At checkout I mentioned that I had just gotten into Indian cinema and loved Aamir Khan, two of his films, PK and Laal Singh Chaddha (An Indian remake of Forrest Gump that was portrayed so brilliantly by Aamir Khan.) being some of my favorites. He then wrote down the name of another film for me to enjoy. And today I visited again and got everything I needed ( I love those MTR Minute meals! Just pop the packet in boiling water and in 5 minutes a delicious meal for when I am too tired to cook.) and checked out. My bag was a bit heavy and as soon as I paid Irene, she was up front today, picked it up and said she'd bring it to my car. (These days I am having mobility issues and use a cane.) I am sorry others have had a bad experience but for me I love this place. I have always gotten great service and love the selection. And I am not one to write reviews, I've written less than 10 on Yelp. Many thanks to Apna, and thank you Irene. :-) I hope I spelled your name correctly.
