Lots of good produce too. Fresh. They also have lots of Milka chocolate bars which are a favorite. There's a ton of biscuits and cookies from all over Europe, and neat jams and fruit preserves. I stock up on digestives and jaffa cakes here, it's the best. They also carry lots of teas and cool Greek frozen foods.

The quality has been great and similar throughout the years I've been shopping here. They have seasonal speciality fruit, like imported pink strawberries and others! Lately I've also been purchasing the produce here. It's super fresh and has organic options. It can be a little pricier but worth it if it's fresh and high quality. The store is always super clean and well stocked. Some of the isles are a little on the narrower side so your cart may bump into things if you're not paying attention or bad at steering hahah.

Their cheese selection is incredible, and they even carry real French butter, which completely made my day. What really made the experience exceptional, though, was Christina in the cheese department. Her knowledge of cheese was honestly unbelievable. She took the time to answer my questions, make recommendations, and help me find exactly what I needed. It's rare to find someone who is that passionate, knowledgeable, and helpful. The entire store is also beautiful. Everything is displayed so nicely, and there are so many great options throughout the store. I originally went in looking for a few specialty items, but Piazza's is definitely going to become one of my regular grocery stores.

I've been coming here for years, which is why it honestly saddens me to even have to write this review. Unfortunately, my recent experience with an employee named Natalia left me extremely uncomfortable and disappointed. During my visit, I overheard comments she was making with another staff member that I found very inappropriate and uncomfortable. When I needed assistance finding products, I also felt that she was very dismissive and acted as though helping me was an inconvenience. Before leaving, I made sure to get her name from another employee who was kind enough to assist me. I had never experienced anything like this at Piazza's before, and it was especially disappointing because I have always had positive experiences with the other employees. The staff I've interacted with over the years have been kind, welcoming, and helpful. As someone who has supported Piazza's for years, it's upsetting that one employee's behavior has made me feel like I no longer want to shop somewhere I've been a loyal customer of. I truly hope management takes this seriously and speaks with Natalia about how customers are being treated.I rarely see her working so in my opinion they should fire her and find someone with better attitude. I have always enjoyed supporting Piazza's, and I hope this situation can be addressed so that longtime customers continue to feel respected, comfortable, and welcomed when they walk through the doors.

He also directs me to fresh bread if they've just had a delivery and is happy to offer opinions if there are several brands to choose from. I really like the added touch of having fliers available about various persian culture events in the area. It's way more than a grocery store, it's a cultural experience.

Continually staying optimistic as while the price was far from super friendly, some items were sold out so I feel like I might be missing out on some of the better items. Items tried: -Unagi Crawfish Musubi (5/5): Yes. Unagi was cooked well and the crawfish is such a nice texture. it was soggy but it was soooo good. -Tuna poke (2/5): fish had some fishiness and minerality, not much in terms of tuna flavor. It was far from the impact I felt when I had a different market from San Jose's Poke. -Tako Poke (3/5): well cooked octopus, lightly sauced but nothing amazing -Flank Steak Musubi (1.5/5): I wasn't a huge fan of the rice to meat ratio, and the steak flavor was covered by the sauce. If you really want to try it, go for it. It was not for me. The seaweed felt bland. -Side of rice: Good cook on the rice. Might be dry for some but it was similar in texture and grain separation to the rice i make at home. Nothing to write home about, it's rice.
