After a day of running errands, my brother was giving me a ride home when he says, "I need to get…read moresome flatbread..." I remembered a place on Jackson Street that I had gone to 5 years ago that had a tremendous selection - looked it up on Yelp and it was no longer on Jackson, but was listed in Castro Valley. So we went thought we'd go by and give it a try. Great decision! The "new" store in Castro Valley is much brighter, cleaner, nicer than the old location. I think the old location had more stuff from Eastern Europe, but this new location seems to have a broader selection, with more stuff from Western Europe and the Middle East. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful - always willing to answer questions and even give tips on how to use the products that they sell. And his recommendations have been great - we asked him about which tahini and zaatar to get (they have many different brands/types of each...) and the ones he recommended have been way tastier than any of the brands that you find in most markets. Especially good was his recommendation on lebnah - he said that the brands they carry are all good, but they have some that they package in-house that was special. I tried it - it was less expensive than the other brands, but was the very best lebnah that I have ever tasted! Richer, creamier, with just the right amount of tang. Wonderful stuff! Anyway, Crossroads is a nice, clean, well-lit place with a great selection of unique products, and friendly, knowledgeable sales staff. Well worth a trip!

They had a ton of unique flavors and styles with a fantastic selection of Ramune and soft drinks and even had a character themed mug and pistachio section. We found the service helpful and bought a few different types of snacks (skittles, pistachio, and a lychee ramune) all reasonably priced. All in all, we would definitely return!

Walking in, there is a freezer of Hokkaido cones, which I'll go back to on a day that is hotter than today. They have a pretty large selection of toys which my son wanted to look at, and they have well-stocked inventory of international candies. I tried a chocolate marshmallow candy which was interesting. The customer service was really great and I loved how I could use Apple Pay especially since I left my wallet at home.

They're crispy, buttery and not too sweet. But what makes them stand out from other butter toffees is that the texture is light. I can't explain it but it's like they're fluffy. Not hard to bite into. I love the traditional milk chocolate but their season flavors are unique and very good. I've only had the pumpkin spice and the s'mores. I didn't think I would enjoy the s'mores one but, man!!! The marshmallows are perfection!!! They're baked like campfire style so they've got that crisp on the outside yet chewy on the inside. Drool!!! They don't have a store front, they sell online off their website. They do sell at select shops (for locations, check their website). If you live local, they'll deliver to your home, and if you order a certain amount, they deliver for free. I can't wait to try their other flavors!

How often do you see an owner working in her own shop?! Not often! That shows how much she truly loves her business. They are always so busy the day before a holiday because everyone goes here for custom treats! You can call ahead for pre orders or buy inside the shop. My favorite treats are the caramel apples, marshmallow chocolate sticks and fresh ice cream!! You won't regret going here. 10x better than even sees candy! Plus everyone who works here always has a smile on their face which is a huge bonus to me. So sorry this review was long overdue!! Please never leave!

Danville Chocolate is hands down my happy place in the East Bay!…read more Elite chocolate. Rich, beautifully crafted, and dangerously good. This is not your average "grab it at the checkout line" situation. You can taste the quality in every single bite. But honestly, it's also the vibe. Walking into the shop instantly boosts my mood. It's charming, welcoming, and feels like a little pocket of joy. If I've had a long day, this is where I'm going to reset. And can we talk about the individually wrapped chocolates? Obsessed. They make putting together a gift basket so easy and so elevated. Birthdays, holidays, thank yous, client gifts, "I saw this and thought of you" moments... done and done. It's thoughtful without trying too hard, which is my favorite kind of gift. If you haven't been, you're missing out. Just know you'll walk in for "a few pieces" and walk out planning your next visit. No regrets.

What a lovely shop! A friend of mine told me about a "vinegar tasting" store and was like, "Why…read morewould I want to taste vinegar." But now I totally get it! The shop ladies were so super friendly and kind. They said we could try any of the balsamic vinegar flavors mixed with sparking water if we wanted to. (But I thought these were only for salads? So wrong of me!) They have a glass jug with the sample flavor of the day already mixed with water. That was the first one I tried: Cranberry Pear. Ooh!!! It was so delicious. Not what I thought it would be. It tasted like a soda without all the sugars. It was actually quite refreshing and delightful. I asked what their top 3 flavors were: - Cranberry Pear - Peach - Sicilian Lemon I decided to try Peach. She added sparking water to it. Omg! That was even more delicious. I'm pretty sure any of these flavors will be a hit. Different flavored vinegars and olive oils adorned the walls! Each flavor has a sign with its name, what they are best used for, and what they are best paired with. I wish I could try them all but I can save that for another visit. They also sell pastas, tea towels, little bowls, and other cute things to go with their products. Also found out that Maison Benoit uses their products at their bakery. Love local businesses supporting each other!

They are one of the best places serving middle eastern food. Only concern I had was our serve last time was eager to pick up our plates for some reason while we said we were still working on it. I will leave it to the place being noisy due to music and crowd. Definitely worth going as a family / guys night out or girls night out.
