A friend told me about this store. I first visited it last year, and took a loved one here this year. It's a charming mom and pop store that features various goodies (that any foodie would get excited over) from all over the globe. The owner is friendly and welcoming. The store's layout is well-organized and makes it possible for one to see everything the moment you walk in their door. What goodies does this store offer? There's too many to say, you just have to go there to experience it yourself! You won't regret going there. read more

It's time to update my review. Anchor is in a larger space and has added many new wonderful products. Julie, the owner is very knowledgeable, helpful and funny. I made a cheese plate last night and decided about 10 PM I needed some other items. Went to the website and chose what I wanted plus several other items. Walked in the store yesterday and my order was sitting right there for me. When you visit plan a little time. You will want to browse at all the great products. Enjoy! read more

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. read more

Anchor Pantry - Grocery Near Me - Vallejo, California

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! read more

This year, I decided to bake Christmas cookies, a tradition that my mother started. I never realized how expensive it would be, the time it would take, the mistakes, the burnt cookies and the back-and-forth trips to the market for replacement supplies. 24 hours later, I am still in the kitchen. Next year I'm going to buy all my Christmas goodies at Anchor pantry. It will save me time, money and Give me more time to enjoy the holiday season. Bless you, Jessica, have a merry Christmas and a very prosperous new year. Eva read more

Great selection of gourmet culinary products. Friendly service. A great place to shop local.

This is a magical store with high quality, well stocked, expertly curated food and drinks. I'd known about Anchor Pantry for a year or two but hadn't been in until today. Wish I'd come in sooner but at least now I know what an amazing shop we've got in Vallejo. read more

This is my to go place for my Acme bread! Then comes all the specialty jams, and cheeses! Love, love love Anchor Pantry!

Definitely a hidden gem Downtown Vallejo i can shop for hrs in this beautiful little shop and the owner Jessica is amazing.

A lively, joyful grocery store with a delightful proprietor, Jessica, and her super helpful staff, offering most everything I could imagine wanting (and then some!). They don't carry produce, but that's available right outside at the farmers market; and while they don't have a fresh meat-and-seafood counter, their collection of packaged meats is terrific -- they even carry Toulouse sausage, which I almost never see, even at my old haunt, Berkeley Bowl. Prices are no more than the Bowl, if even that; and they carry a knockout selection of jams, mustards, and...well, pretty much anything edible that comes wrapped, jarred, tinned, or any other kind of container. Tip: Make sure to introduce yourself to BJ. He's absolutely wonderful to chat with, and highly knowledgable. I asked BJ for ideas for a fruit tart or other quick dessert to bake -- he gave me yummy suggestions and guided me to a jar of blackberry-Earl Grey tea jam, which I brought home and spread onto the tart over a layer of mascarpone (which I also got from Anchor Pantry -- the *real* kind, with no added gums or thickeners), then laid onto that a lovely pattern of different colored plums...it was the "WOW" of the party! I wish I had made two; I also wish I had thought to take a photo -- guess I'll just have to bake some more! I'm glad I took BJ's advice! read more

Hidden gem in Vallejo with high quality produce items. Great atmosphere and a great place to stop by and check out.

Anchor Pantry is one of my favorite spots in downtown Vallejo! Whether you're looking for a small treat for yourself or putting together a gift, Anchor Pantry is your stop! They have a refrigerated section with vegan and real cheeses and meats as well as a freezer section with ice cream and other specialty items. My favorite part? A lot of stuff is from local makers! Pro tip: stop by for fresh bread from Acme, grab the Boichik cream cheese and some balsamic. The combination is so delicious! read more

Good quality store for all your foodie mercantile needs. The store carries anything from coffee, hot sauces, jams, alcohol concoction ingredients (But does not sell alcohol), quality cheeses and many other items... For such a small store I found it a little overwhelming in a certain way because there is much to look at, but don't worry, the owner is very helpful and helping you decide what you should purchase if you have questions. If I lived in the area I would be coming here very frequently. But when we pass through, we'll give it a stop. Downtown Vallejo is pretty darn cool. There's a bookstore across the street, Alibi Books, Mare Island Brewery is just a stone's throw away. So definitely if you're in the area or you need a destination in the afternoon be sure to come to the shop! read more

A very overdue review. Anchor Pantry is definitely a gem! If you're looking for speciality items to elevate your charcuterie board without traveling to Napa/Sonoma or over the bridge, come here.

If you're more into crackers, there's a wide variety to try. Looking for something sweet, Anchor Pantry has a nice selection of specialty sweets.

What a delightful surprise! I was looking for groceries while in town on sabbatical. I always like to treat myself to local and specialty items when I'm in a new area. After finding Anchor Pantry on Yelp, I drove over and was greeted warmly by Jessica, the proprietress, lovely vintage R&B music on the "hifi" and a bounty of beautiful spices, sauces, sweet and savory treats, fresh bread... paradise! You can tell from her selection that Jessica has a culinary background and eye for quality. She helped me pick out a combo of imported and local goodness (Pesto for dinner, Gelato for dessert !) and gave me suggestions for other local must sees. Can't wait to come back. read more
