I am so happy I discovered Gourmet Corner. Even in the culturally diverse Bay Area, it can be…read moresurprisingly difficult to find authentic French ingredients without driving long distances. Gourmet Corner makes it easy to enjoy real French food at home. They offer an impressive selection of French products, including sausages, charcuterie, salami, cheeses, wines, chocolates, cookies, and many other specialty items. The prices are very reasonable, and the ordering process is simple. After ordering online, I chose to pick up my order at their Campbell location. The process was simple and hassle-free. I recently purchased Raclette cheese, and it was absolutely delicious. In my opinion, it is the best Raclette I have found in the Bay Area. Today I picked up Boudin Noir along with some French sweets, and I am looking forward to trying them. What really stood out to me was the excellent customer service. The staff is incredibly friendly, responsive, and flexible. They went out of their way to help, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. For first-time visitors picking up an order at the Campbell location, the pickup location can be a little tricky to find. Look for the large building with the American Barbell gym at the entrance. Facing the building, there is a small entrance on the far right side with designated pickup parking spaces. Once you arrive, call to let them know you're there, and they will bring your order out to your car. One helpful tip: wine shipments arrive on Tuesdays and Fridays, while many of the other food items are typically kept in stock. After your order is confirmed, pickup is often available without having to wait specifically for those delivery days. I also learned that Gourmet Corner regularly participates in local farmers' markets throughout the Bay Area. It's always nice to support a small business that brings authentic French products directly to the community and helps people discover the flavors of France close to home. If you love French food, French culture, or simply want to recreate an authentic French meal at home, I highly recommend Gourmet Corner. Shopping here feels like stepping into a French gourmet market without leaving California. I'll definitely be ordering again very soon!

I love this spot. I cant help but buy a whole box of delicious treats for my family when I come in…read more Best of all: this is a local san mateo family! With so many transplants in this city, its nice to have a local family to support and frequent. The baklava is delish, I love the hazelnut, double walnut and chocolate the most. My husband and kids love the traditional baklava more. I also recently had the spanakopita (so much yum) and lemon tiramisu - which was ridiculous yummy and left me wired from all the sugar lol. I noticed they started carrying Turkish breakfast so I think that'll be my next trial! Can't wait!

I've visited at least five Turkish breakfast cafés and restaurants throughout the Bay Area, and I'm…read morenot exaggerating when I say this place stands out above the rest. I'm not biased either--I simply appreciate quality, authenticity, and hospitality, and this café delivers on all three. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed. The service is warm, genuine, and reminds me of the hospitality you experience in Turkey itself. The food feels like breakfast away from home, with every detail thoughtfully prepared. The quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite, and everything tastes fresh and authentic. One of my favorite things about this place is that it's more than just a café. They also have a small market stocked with Turkish essentials, making it easy to pick up treats for guests, ingredients for dinner, or a few favorite snacks to take home. They offer Turkish delight, baklava, ice cream, and a carefully selected variety of products that are perfect for everyday needs. A friend introduced me to this café, and I've returned many times since. In fact, after a disappointing experience at another Turkish café in Burlingame, where both the service and quality of the breakfast left much to be desired, I found myself coming straight here afterward. I paid for my meal there, packed it up, and immediately drove here because I knew I'd leave satisfied. Marrying into a Turkish family has given me a deep appreciation for authentic Turkish breakfast, and I can confidently say this place gets it right. The potato börek tasted exactly like the one my in-laws make. For a moment, I felt like I was back in Turkey all over again. The café offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and they've done a wonderful job transforming what I remember as primarily a market into a thriving café and market combination. It's clear that a lot of love and hard work went into creating this space. I'm genuinely happy for their success and will continue bringing friends and family here. It has become my go-to spot whenever I want authentic Turkish food, great service, and a little taste of home. I truly cannot recommend this place enough.

Fish is great! you won't be disappointed. Super fresh. Price is reasonable too. And staff is very friendly and accommodating. It's slightly on smaller side, but overall selection is good, and the market is what you'd expect for a Japanese grocery store. Parking in the area can be challenging at times, so make a trip out of it or go off peak hours.

He was incredibly welcoming, genuinely passionate about his craft, and took the time to walk us through a variety of olive oils and balsamic vinegars without ever making it feel like a sales pitch. He encouraged us to sample numerous combinations, explained the different flavor profiles, and answered every question with enthusiasm. You can tell he truly enjoys helping people find something they'll love. The shop itself has a warm, rustic charm that makes you want to slow down and browse. There is an impressive selection of olive oils and balsamic vinegars, from classic everyday staples to unique flavors that you probably wouldn't think to try until you taste them. Whether you're a serious home cook or just looking for a unique gift or something to elevate your next meal, Del Oliva is absolutely worth a visit.
