If you want old time great service this is the place. All the foods are number 1 some people say it's a little pricey well you get what you pay for. The butcher shop is off the rails. read more

Love to see Diablo Foods doing a great job as a small independent grocer. Focused on quality and customer service, they always seem to be on the mark. If you want 24 rolls of toilet paper cheap this is not your place but if you want an in house dry aged New York with paired with store selected wines, produce, cheese, and breads then this you place. Keep up the incredible work. read more

Independent grocery store that has a lot of products that you might not find in most stores. They have a nice deli and butcher section. Produce is the best in town. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The store is clean and organized, which is impressive since they are always busy. The only downside is that everything is more expensive. read more

Although pricey, this market has some of the best and freshest ingredients. They carry baked goods from small businesses, and make so much delicious food in house. Their meat is also very fresh. I highly recommend their sandwiches. Better than any sandwich shop in the area with better ingredients and a better price. You can't compete. Their tuna salad, macaroni salad, and chicken salad are also popular. I love their in house guacamole too. It's perfectly zesty! read more

Diablo Foods is my favorite grocery store in the area! Their selection is amazing, and I love all the fresh produce and meat options. Their deli is great too, I like the Italian combo sandwich! read more

Diablo Foods - Grocery Near Me - Lafayette, California

Whenever I'm in the Lafayette area, I make it a point to visit Diablo Foods. Decades ago, I worked for one of their competitors and I appreciate the effort that goes into the quality and selection of their offerings. -For a grocery their size, they have an excellent selection of local produce from individual farms. -Their butcher aisle is superb, so many cuts and the quality of their meats, poultry and seafood is outstanding! How many groceries carry "American wagyu-style beef?" or fresh Scottish salmon?" (Not to mention how nice their butchers are, they are so willing to help with any specific cuts or instructions you need). -The deli has a great selection of cold-cuts, salads and makes killer sandwiches. -The cheese dept has an excellently-curated selection, far better than the chain stores. -Their in-house produced entrees are delicious, as well as the best local bakery/bread offerings. -Their checkout staff are friendly, beyond simply emptying your cart. They offer assistance to your car and have "associates" in the parking lot to help with parking and cart retrieval. This is "old-school" service in the 21st century...(obviously, they can't charge chain-store prices; they don't have the same buying power), but I definitely get value when I shop there...kudos to Diablo Foods, you "rock!" read more

Pretty decent prepped food. We ordered out for a large party and was quite pleased. Overall food was well seasoned, something simple that not everyone does right. Ribs were decently smokey, meaty, tender not tough, with seasoning on the sweet side. Honestly slightly better than some BBQ places I've been to. Mashed potatoes were smooth and buttery. Roasted chicken was juicy, but fairly standard flavor profile. Nothing standout but still fine if you need a generic dish for basic people. read more

Generally i get great service here, i recently got treated very poorly by one of the cashiers named Fabiola. being asked inappropriate questions about my personal life wasn't on my shopping list. super disappointed in the lack of professionalism and etiquette. Do better!!! read more

Sorry no pics. Imagine if you will a country store crammed with everything you want. I might move here just because of this store. Presently living in Pebble Beach but requiring I visit three stores to get my "list" filled I wished this store was available to me. Sorry, no. But for you-- great produce, bakery, a wine exhibition to die for, a butcher you'd have long ago-- let me give you an example- Condiment's- all store carry but without focus. Diablo carry's everything. I am not exaggerating. Seriously. You want a specific something they have it. I could go on but I don't have pics and kicking myself. Just go. You will not be disappointed, read more

This store has been in Lafayette forever but I've recently tried some of the deli offerings. Molinari salami is the best and a tasty sourdough roll with all the fixins just cannot be beat! Find the number machine and you're helped quickly unless you come at lunchtime. Love the Thai noodle and prawn salad and the curry chicken salad are other great lunches. Vibrant place with excellent freshly made foods. A mainstay in Lafayette! read more

Thanks to Marilou the Deli Manager. We needed about 26 sandwiches all well packed up for our high school event on 11.15.25. The sandwiches were not only well organized but excellent tasting. My students loved them and other students participating in the event came to our team looking for some of those great sandwiches. Marilou and the deli team --Thanks for your professionalism and the quality of your sandwiches. Coach Dominique Pinkney read more

Turkey sandwich was so good this lady must be a wizard. Highly recommend trying their sandwiches

Staff is super friendly. A good selection of beer and alcohol. Jim is hella cool. Johnny is cool af. The cashiers are cool, the guys at the deli and butcher shop are cool af, too. Everyone is cool af. Not the largest grocery store--only 10 aisles, but the selection of grocery is pretty good. Not a lot of asian foods if that's what you're shopping for. The soups are great, too. Clam chowder friday/saturday, and chicken tortilla/pozole thursdays. read more

Rats outside, moldy bread sold as fresh, and some rude staff. This place was great ten years ago. Not so much anymore.

Local spot with the best quality local products and excellent service. The meat counter has great options including knowledgeable butchers and the produce is like being at a formers market. read more

10/10 of a sandwich. I ate here for lunch, I live in the area and just realized what I've been missing out on for years. read more

Diablo Foods - Had the New Yorker! Best pastrami sandwich I've had in the east bay and entire Bay Area. My personal opinion and I'm from the east coast. - Grocery Near Me - Lafayette, California

This review is only for their Pecan Bread Pudding. The bread pudding was mind-blowingly delicious and reminded me of a pecan pie but in a bread pudding format. They used bread with a thick crust (like sourdough) , which I though would not work for bread puddings but I was happily proven wrong. The tougher crust added some nice texture to the bread pudding to balance out the bread on the inside that had been softened by the custard. I believe it was priced $13, which is a bit on the higher side, but I would get this again given how delicious it was. read more

Great selection, quality food and the people are always helpful and friendly. This is exactly what you want your local grocery store to be. We price tested vs Whole Foods for the same basket and Diablo was lower. Our local favorite. read more

Great service. Prices are really high for the basics. But please bring back the French Toast!!

Best grocery in the east bay. Great service, wonderful selection - Acme bread and my French butter. Happy to always support small family run businesses. I was so glad to see the ojai pixie tangerines outside of Ojai! read more

Glen at Diablo foods butcher department, was so wonderful and made my day today. I got a huge whole ham leg and I did not know what to do with it, because I could not cut it to fit my slicer. I did not know how to deal with this huge leg of ham. then I thought I might go to ask the butchers at Diablo Foods to help cut it, but I am not sure if they would or not. I went to Diablo foods meat/butcher department to ask for help. One gentleman warmly greeted me ( I am sorry I did not ask his name) and got Glen to come to help me. I can not say enough nice things about Glen and the other gentleman. They are both so nice, kind and just wonderful, even though I did not buy a thing from them, only troubled them to help me... They really know how to treat their customer! I will be a loyal Diablo foods customer forever. Thank you, Glen read more

I always swing by and get necessities when I'm the neighborhood. They have everything from Baking needs and lots of liquor and wines when I'm in a pinch. I like to grab the Uppercrust pies and baked goods for Family gatherings. Their Produce department is always fresh and the people are very friendly and helpful. You pay a little extra, but you can always find what you need at this store. Overall its everything you in need if are in the area. read more

The Veggie Sandwich on toast wheat was AMAZING! Quality fresh ingredients served with a smile. Always a treat to shop at Family Owned Diablo Foods read more

Diablo Foods is located in a busy plaza, so parking may be hit or miss. This sandwich spot is a deli inside a supermarket. The wait to order may take awhile - there was a long line to order and there was a long wait to get your sandwich(es). I tried their Reuben (corned beef) and salami sandwiches, both on dutch crunch. I thought they were decent for a deli/sandwich spot inside of a supermarket. I could not finish them because the portions were pretty big, so I saved them for later. read more

The best grocery store by far in the east bay. Everyone who works at the butcher section is legit.

It's like a small scale Whole Foods. It caters to affluent people. The food quality is super high. One of the deli staff members was super nice to me, it caught me off guard because I live in Fresno where people in customer service seem miserable. read more

In my experience Diablo Foods is the 1950's Customer Service Experience Not only is the butcher department has the best meats I have ever tasted but has the service with a smile. I have never witnessed such kind service with a smile as when I went to Deli and butcher shop and when I went to check out I had a kind employee with a smile give my food to the cashier who also gave me service with a smile. I have never seen a grocery store with quality meats and products serve the customer with a smile And treat the customer with so much respect and kindness This grocery store is by far my favorite and the only grocery store that I shop. It's so nice to go to a grocery store and get 1950's service. Thank you Diablo Store for being the store that you are. I give Diablo Foods Grocery store 10 Star read more

Hands down, the best local grocery store. Friendly and knowledgable staff, excellent quality and selection of everything from fresh produce to premade foods. Highly recommend! read more

I love Diablo Foods. Hands down my favorite grocery store ever. I use to own a restaurant in this amazing town and the staff use to frequent my place. Picked up 3 of their aged Rib eyes, 29.99 a pound. Super worth it!! Well, my buddy flipped the bill on these cuts. Thanks man! It was like butter in our mouths. The meat quality was just so unreal! No A-1 sauce, no Tabasco, no Crystal hot sauce (which I looooove). Nothing except a little salt and pepper and olive oil. Perfection. Apparently, we liked the Steaks haha. The customer service is always so great, friendly and professional. Thank you Diable Foods for all these years of serving your community! read more

Terrific local grocery store in Lafayette that continues to excel with outstanding service; high-quality produce, fruits and meats; and a wide range of other products, including an excellent range of wines and specialty items, with new products introduced routinely as well. We especially enjoy the deli for their made-to-order sandwiches as well as many of their packaged sides and meals. The store is always clean and bright, and while it may be a higher price point than other grocery stores, Diablo Foods brings a high level of quality and service. read more

Fine market. I got some great steak at their butcher shop who was very helpful. Prices are a bit higher than you'd find in most other grocery stores in the area but still a solid spot read more

A fantastic upscale grocery store in upscale Lafayette offering top quality selections and over-the-top variety. The spice aisle goes on forever, there's a huge selection of produce with, like - 35 types of mushrooms. This is the kind of place where you can find that obscure, elusive ingredient you've been hunting for. read more

Diablo Foods - This is a really really nice store. Great merchandise and variety. - Grocery Near Me - Lafayette, California

I shop here regularly and love many things about this store. (Except for the COVID corner, aka the crowd at the deli counter.) So I was disappointed by my experience today. I purchased the packaged Mary's chicken breasts. The package was split open and leaked raw chicken juice over all my other groceries. I washed everything twice and threw out all the packaging. But I am doubtful that I dealt with all the contamination. Then I was disappointed that the "send us a message" feature on the store's website is disabled. I will continue shopping there, but hope the store can deal with its quality control. read more

In preparation for my trek to UCSF Parnassus for a day with the hubby in his room, I knew that taking food with me was needed as their cafeteria had limited hours and selection so on Christmas Eve morning decided to pick up a sandwich and a salad. Not disappointed with my turkey with sprouts in a wheat roll. Can remember the name of it. And then I craved potato salad. Well, had to try their homemade potato salad right? And, needed some greens in the diet so I picked up a container of the kale Caesar as well. All good! Next time I get the potato salad, I'm going to add some home cooked bacon bit to it. For the kale salad, I added some orange sections and it was perfect. Always shop local people. I was early but it you get there around 11, there is fresh sushi brought it. Yes, a bit more expensive but it's good to support the long standing local businesses. Pick up a doughnut from Johnny's also. Y fav there is now the cinnamon roll. read more
