Over the last month with our venturing out and about from the coast to the central Valley to the…read moreBay Area visiting different farmers market, this by far continues to stay our number one followed by another one close to the Hollister area. Even though this is a cash only location which also provides two ATM machines inside, we can always find the needed necessities from fruit, to veggies, to flowers and you pick options. A pretty decent sized establishment, which is open every day of the week except on Wednesdays. They have a pretty decent sized parking lot and on the premises most of the time you'll find up to two food vendors. This time around I really enjoyed the flower picking option which you can get a very large bundle for five dollars then you can also visit outback of their establishment of the very large harvesting area of their crops. Lots of produce provided by lots of local vendors brought in by large bin loads.. This time, I also noticed that they have peanuts that you can pick from a bin inside as well. The best part of all is their pricing that is offered on their produce. Again, great location, surrounded by great wineries as well.

When I was growing up in El Cerrito (home of the Fogerty brothers) this used to be Poloni's. The perfect spot to go after school and buy candy. Today it's got gourmet mini pies, a wine section, lots of fresh produce plus some household items in case of emergency. Very friendly staff. I like their handwritten signs, but unfortunately there's no spellcheck when you're writing freehand. Support your local mom and pop business!

I've been passing by this place for years and finally decided to go inside. This place is a…read morebeautiful family owned neighborhood corner grocery store just above San Pablo Ave and a block from the Bart tracks going up Potero Ave. it has some of the most beautiful and fresh looking produce i've seen in a corner store market in a very long time! They also have specialty items like European cookies, a great selection of micro brewery, beers, and commonly use canned goods, etc.! I would highly recommend you support your local mom & pop business and give this place a visit! The people working there are very nice and "happy" and they have lots of parking available in their lot adjacent to the store. No more over priced Safeway for me!

Monterey Market is one of my go-to spots for produce, especially if you like variety. Their…read moreselection is huge, and the mushroom section is on another level, way beyond what you see at a normal grocery store. Fun fact: this place is famous for carrying hard-to-find and foraged produce and has been a quiet favorite of Bay Area chefs for decades, which explains why half the fruits look like they belong in a cooking show challenge. That said, the quality isn't flawless. This past summer the corn on the cob was disappointing, with a few ears already rotten at one end once you peel back the husk, so definitely inspect before buying. Also, the clientele is usually fine, but this visit featured an unnecessary checkout cameo from a full-volume Karen who felt the need to explain how standing in line works. The cashier chose silence, which felt like a statement. Still a great market overall, just keep an eye on the corn and maybe bring a little extra patience to the register.

PROS: -So much selection and specialty foods…read more -FREE Parking lot across the street -Clean Bathrooms- not in the store, but on the premises. -Friendly and knowledgeable staff. -Fresh produce and flowers- locally grown! KEEP IN MIND -It can get BUSY- depending on the time of day and week -with that said, even with the parking lot, it may be full and you'll have to find street parking. -Considering how crowded it can get, navigating around the store can be a little tricky, esp. with a cart. -It can a little overwhelming especially if it's your first time there AND it's busy. I always love coming here! But I go when it's not peak hours bc when it's busy, it's like Costco, so be mentally prepared AND patient- with other customers and the staff.

I never knew about Berkeley Bowl Marketplace until my wife told me about it years ago. We recently…read moretook a friend to BBM, and she was very impressed with their produce and variety. I mean you can find so many different variety of apples, oranges, mushrooms, etc. [From the internet] "Unmatched Variety: The store is celebrated for carrying dozens of varieties of single items--such as 15 different kinds of apples or half a dozen types of artichokes." For example, Chocolate Navel Oranges: a rare citrus tree variety featuring a unique deep bronze-brown rind and sweet, low-acid, bright orange flesh. The taste of a Chocolate Navel Orange is exceptionally sweet, rich, and mellow, often described as a "gourmet" upgrade to a standard orange. Starkrimson Pears: a striking, sweet, and juicy late-summer variety distinguished by its vibrant crimson-red skin and thick, stocky stem. Pink Pearl Apples: a rare heirloom variety featuring translucent, yellow-green skin and a striking, vibrant bright-pink flesh. Crisp and juicy with a tart to sweet-tart taste, offering tangy berry and subtle grapefruit notes. Come check out this local gem! Support your local businesses.

Currently my favorite spot to shop outside of actually going to a farmer's market…read more Reasonable prices - similar to farmer's market and less than the Marketplace. They also seem to have more turnover than the Marketplace, so it's fresher. Their organic Granny Smiths are some of the best I have had - crisp, slightly sour and super juicy. They also carry a variety of microgreens. Interesting small producers in the pantry section. The service is always friendly and efficient. Request: carry maitakes! Then I don't need to make multiple stops around the island. Easy to park around the Central/Oak area. I neglected you for a few a years but I am back!

I was on my way to Sacramento and got a serious craving for a snack, so since I'd heard about the tamales in the Dixon area, I just had to pull over and grab a few. I tried the chile cheese one right there in the car, and it was pretty good! The cheese was definitely interesting, though--it didn't really melt, but it had a nice, solid bite to it. I'm guessing they use that kind so it doesn't get all messy, especially since they keep them nice and hot all day and have them all wrapped and labeled individually. They've got a bunch of handmade candies, and all the fruit and produce looks so fresh! You should definitely make a stop and check out the pickle section. Also, as for those Upper Crust mini baby pies--grab every flavor! I only picked up two and I'm honestly so sad about it! Enjoy and drive safe my friends!

Because it is ripened on the trees and harvested right there on the property, it is so flavorful and delicious!

They accept card, cash, and Venmo, and they always have the most friendly people working there. My kids are always asking to go get more!

I needed a simple California wine gift for a couple of my colleagues in Florida. I spent a good…read moreamount of time searching for a vendor who would in fact ship California wine and after a lengthy search I found California Delicious. I settled on the "Best of California" box and placed the orders and had them shipped. I elected standard delivery and even though the expected arrival was 5-7 days, these gifts arrived in 4. Not only that, I ordered on a Friday and the gifts shipped on the very same day! Terrific service for sure. Their gift options are fantastic, many choices in all price ranges. I'll order from these folks again because the process is easy, their website is simple and it's great being able to ship California wine! I think the only thing I would change is the ability to place more than 1 gift order in one transaction. This wasnt an option so I had to place 2 separate orders, not a deal breaker, just a wishlist item.
