    Since I don't have the patience to make a lovely substitute, still not a replacement me for homemade from India.
    Norma L.

    Ive been coming here for probably over 15 years. After moving back from the LBC I could drive 20 mins and be in Little India aka Artesia is hard to find a big Indian store section with having to drive to the South Bay. This is a quaint littel store that carries a lot. The owner is very friendly and remembers his customers. I don't come as often as my guys is allergic to garlic ,(there goes the garlic ginger paste I used regularly. But they carry Koolfi Brand (store located in San Leandro) ice cream. So I stopped off after work specifically to get the Kamala and rose ice cream. Kamala means lotus. It was in stock and I also picked up guava with a hint of chili. Can't wait to try, my stomach might not agree with the lactose, but didn't grumble last time. Also got some samosas as getting off work and didn't feel like cooking. (You will need to warm and they don't come with chutney) But I most come because of the friendlness of the owners and I can get in and out quickly.

    The cryptic receipt

    This place has good variety of things. The one thing they should improve on is transparency though. Majority of the items have no price sticker on them. On top of that they dont even have a system where you can see the price of each item as it is scanned at the counter. I was thinking the bill would clarify the pricing but alas their has bill has no names of any items, I don't even see the point of this bill. I would have loved to come to this place as my regular grocery store but until they change their ways and be more open about the pricing, I don't see myself coming here again. Please work on changing this.

    Kulfi - different flavours (don't worry, they have the larger pint size too)

    Are there changes to Hours Open and other operations due to covid? Do they offer pickup or delivery of groceries?

    They have the same hours and have a wonderful pickup service. Email or use the website to place your order, pay through mobile pay, and they bring the groceries to your car. I've used this service multiple times and they're very professional.

A must for us every single visit is the Honey Glow pineapple -- if you haven't tried one, you're missing out. They are incredibly sweet, almost like biting into pure sugar, but in the most natural and refreshing way. It's the kind of fruit that's hard to find at your average grocery store, and Berkeley Bowl delivers consistently. Beyond the pineapple, the quality across the board is impressive. The blueberries are plump and flavourful, the oranges are bright and juicy, and the wider fruit selection never fails to catch our eye. It's clear that real care goes into sourcing what ends up on those shelves. For anyone living in or passing through the East Bay, Berkeley Bowl is absolutely worth a stop. It's one of those places that makes grocery shopping genuinely enjoyable, and the produce alone is reason enough to visit.

Not as reasonable as they used to be back in the day, but reasonable enough. I love the bulk section of foods. And I love the fact that the organic food is not as expensive as it is in other places, but it has a really good quality. They have a nice selection of foods and you can get a lot of different things. They do have some specialty sections, such as English foods, Italian foods, Mexican foods, Asian foods, etc. I can cook something from another cuisine and often find those ingredients there. I could find lime leaves for a dish that I was making and they only cost $.99. They also have banana leaves that I can buy if I want to use. The meat counter is nice and the people who work there are generally very nice. Another thing I like about the store is that it's nice and clean. The aisles are OK and you can pass by. And when waiting in line for your food if people are shopping, it can get a little crowded, but it's not uncomfortable. The only thing I would tell you not to do here is to return something because they do not want to give you your money back even when you do have a receipt. And when they do give you your money, you get all kind of attitude. I would suggest coming here, which is something that I do when I'm in the area. I usually go to the other Berkeley bowl because it's closer to the freeway and I can drive up quite quickly. But I forgot, this used to be a Safeway, so unlike their original location, which is now a car dealership, and before that was a bowling alley, this space was built for retail of food. I like that I can always find something here when I need to.

Last time I saw anything like that was in the women's restroom of Agnes B. in San Francisco, now long gone. One wall was papered with a montage of photographs from French Nouvelle vague films - Jean Paul Belmondo, Godard, Brigitte Bardot, etc. Congrats to Of All Places, I had a stimulating discussion with the owner about Italian films By Antonioni from the '60s. I'm afraid this dates me.

    This compact specialty market has been open for over a year, and I really like how the merchandise…read morereflects local purveyors with no corporate brands. Starting with an arresting blow-up of Italian movie star Monica Vitti behind the checkout, it's a visually pleasing emporium because it's not overcrowded with idiosyncratic products. The wine collection is particularly interesting with labels unknown to me. I've been tempted by the delectables in the Grab & Go section, but I've demurred for the sake of discretion. In fact, having almost no knowledge of any of these products, I only recently bought something here because I want to support them. I got a box of Rooibos tea and a jar of Hawaiian masala (Photo 10). I look forward to buying more in the future, though one thought I had was that this store would benefit from samples. On a previous visit, there was a bakery pop-up in front (Photo 8), and I think more of that activity could encourage more in-store traffic. It'll be interesting to see how this business evolves.
