This smart looking store has a lot of choices for wine, a nice well-stocked veggie section, all the stuff you'd find as a small corner store, a deli where fresh sandwiches and food are made, and best of all, a small ice cream counter. I suppose I admit that I'm an ice cream lover and they serve the Rainbow brand, a San Francisco product. It is a great joint, clean and everything is nicely presented. It's a great place should you need a place to take a break from your drive, stretch your legs and at the very least, a bathroom stop.

She looked at me rolled her eyes and looked up at where the menu was on the wall without saying a word. I lost my appetite and we ended up not eating them the only saving grace was a man who checked us out and was pleasant. Overall I could not tell you if they were good but the food environment was less than proper customer service.

The staff were incredibly friendly and, even though we arrived a few minutes after the kitchen had closed, they kindly accommodated us and made us a pesto chicken sandwich. The sandwich was one of the best pesto chicken sandwiches we've ever had--so flavorful and delicious! We also had the pasta verde with pesto sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, carrots, and peas, and it was just as delicious. I definitely wouldn't have expected food this good from a market! Highly recommend this place for the food and great customer service!

What a unique find Diekmann's was. This store/market/eatery is a staple in this community and has…read morebeen here since 1940. They offer anything you can possibly need from groceries, sundries, produce, and wine to fishing supplies. To top it off you can come in and order a sandwich, a burger or a pizza. Service is friendly and helpful. We came here a couple times while visiting Bodega Bay for items we had forgot to bring. We tried the burgers and the pizza and all of it was tasty. What I loved was the parking lot that had a great view of the ocean. They offer long hours of 7:00am - 9:00pm. Whether you want a quick bite, heading out for a day at the beach (picnic), or heading out of town be sure to stop here.

This past Sunday was my first visit. I had avoided going before because it's usually so crowded, but now I completely understand why. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully crafted from start to finish. I'll definitely be back.

What a lovely spot! Came here two days in a row on a drive between Sebastopol and Jenner. I've…read moreactually been driving past this spot for a couple years and never stepped in. So glad I finally did! Beautiful interior with a large wooden bar and lots of house plants. I got a vanilla bean latte and my wife got a strawberry matcha. We also got a chocolate croissant and a ham galette. All were delicious and were extremely high quality, which is an odd way to describe food, I know. However, I watched the barista make the drinks and he was extremely measured and clearly experienced. We could also see the kitchen where food was being made. My point is they are very committed to their craft here! The ambience is so cozy! Nice warm lighting, lots of seating, and even a kids play area. And the large windows with the fog rolling through the redwoods really ties it all together. If I could work remotely from here, I would! Can't wait to come back to this spot next time I'm in the area. Incredible food and drinks and unbeatable ambiance.

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt very uncomfortable when I saw the owner of a nearby business there. Based on publicly known information, I personally will never support that business or be anywhere near it again, especially in a town with so many children. That experience made me uneasy, but it doesn't change my opinion of the market itself. Overall, it's a welcoming, community-friendly place with great employees.

You can find plenty of ready-made goodies to eat on site or to take away for a picnic. We prefer buying fresh fish on ice to take home to cook ourselves. Beautiful halibut, oysters, mussels, clams, crabs, prawns, calamari, swordfish, rockfish, tuna, salmon, different smoked fishes, scallops.. I guess I don't need to list out every single fish they sell, but that's off the top of my head! I've only ever bought fish that was fresh and good -- we haven't had any poor experience or purchases. Outside of the headliner, seafood, they also sell a fantastic assortment of cheeses, deli meats, wine, jams and jellies and pickles and olives, oils and breads. Everything you need for a quintessential northern california meal. Except for fresh produce, go to Diekmann's for that! Prices are a little up there, and it's certainly become more "touristy" over the years, but that's just the nature of capitalism, y'all.
