Everyday the best day fresh from the farm. Good quality and good service. Save time, save money, save health.

Hot Peanuts
Mystery M.

Haven't been to a fruit stand type of business in a long time and recently discovered this one after shopping at Grocery Outlet nearby. This is indeed an old school style fruit stand that has all the items in an open area, and it's definitely not the cleanest establishment for sure. You can visibly tell it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. The pricing here is okay, it's not the cheapest, some things are cheap, while others are a little on the pricey side for certain things. Some things you could definitely purchase elsewhere and it would be cheaper. The customer service is okay, it's the same guy every time we come and he's pretty nice. Always asking how we are doing etc. Just make to always get a receipt, so you can double check to see how much you were charged. Overall, just a 3 start rating for this establishment.

Love those hand made signs!
Carlie A.

I love to stop by the stand. I often combine it with a jog through the AJ's Coffee booth across the street. I love that the owner remembers his customers and talks to them himself. I like to buy whatever local produce he has, and then some things that he has which are special, lavash, labneh, unique dried fruits, special cheese, orange blossom jam, delicate little cookies to have with coffee. He also has a nice selection of dry goods and the staple groceries you'd need for stocking the pantry: eggs, milk, butter, rice, The goods here aren't perfect but they are personal and I really appreciate that in this age of overly mechanized faceless corporations. Sometimes I just a little neighborly shop and this is just that kind of place.

Roasted Peanuts
Wendy K.

Every time I go they have different international goodies near the check out. Once was crumpets, pomegranate candy and my favorite, Lavash. Of course they had great deals on fruits and veggies. However, my main reason to make the drive is their hot roasted peanuts, $2.99/lb. If you're in the neighborhood, check them out.

Basil $1.50 a bunch CHEAP
Monika C.

This is my second visit and BY FAR better than the first, which was a couple of years ago. I dont know who the gentleman at the register was, but what an awesome guy! They didnt have any basil up front, he went to the back and got some for me! These prices for the stuff I got was INSANELY AWESOME! I got kale, beets, greens, squash, zucchini, basil, garlic, carrots, celery, potatoes, lemons and cilantro for $10!! Holy Toledo Batman! It was totally worth it and these prices are crazy good! If you spend $10 or more, there is no fee to use your card. If you spend less than $10, it's a 50 cent fee. Dont forget to bring your bags! The greens are incredibly affordable and the healthiest for you! I made enough caldo de pollo (chicken soup) with veggies for like 6 people, and it ended up costing me $9 total to make! Tip: I purchased a whole rotisserie chicken from Costco for $5 (deboned it to make chicken soup with it), and spent $4 on the veggies that went into that soup, spending $9 total. And now I can feed an army! Hahaha. I totally recommend this place! ESPECIALLY if you love healthy greens for juicing, sauteeing, etc for next to nothing! I will def be returning!

My favorite nectarines and peaches
Juanita I.

Love this fruit/ vegetable stand. Owner is proud and care about his produce. Also, have a few grocery items for those moments when making another stop doesn't fit in schedule. Local honey is so good. One of my favorite items are the HOT peanuts. It's a very small family business with great customer service. Old school.

The staff is friendly and helpful, but the fruit I bought was expensive, small, and on the verge of going bad. Would not return.

Great place! They're always ready with advice: the sweetest oranges, and even large orders of raw peanuts for feeding the crows.

Five stars for all the delicious meats at the meat counter! I have been disappointed ZERO times by…read moremy purchases as well as the wonderful customer service that comes along with the order. I have tried various cuts of meat and highly recommend the bone-in rib eye as well as the tri tip. My mouth is watering as I write this! The produce section is also stellar. I am hooked on corn on the cob again thanks to the delicious corn they have had this season. All produce selections are fresh and flavorful. They also have the usual refrigerated items and pantry staples you would expect at a market, along with charcoal and lighter fluid for those grilling days. I haven't purchased any wine here but the selection looks pretty good if you want to pair something with your meat counter purchases. Customer service is super friendly and I always feel welcome when I stop by. This place is a reminder of why I love living in Castro Valley!

Small but organized…read moreoffering essentials, BBQ options and sauces, and a selection of local and organic products, wine, beer with a small produce section. Sadly, they stopped offering barbecue (they did a yummy tri tip sandwich) as of 6 years ago but offer a great meat section to do at home. I picked up some short ribs and sausages and very happy with the purchase. I decided to make a coffee rub for the short ribs and after 3.25 hours (wrapped in foil) of slow baking/indirect grilling they came out amazing! To complete the meal I picked up items for a salad and some Semifreddi rosemary focaccia that I slathered in garlic butter and warmed up. So good! :) Clean environment, convenient and great local store. Small parking lot with plenty of street parking. I'll definitely return and shop again soon.

My new go to Mexican restaurant…read more There's a spot down a ways from here i have regularly frequented since the early 90's that really as went downhill in many ways. This place was a recommendation from a friend and they did not disappoint First off price is great. Portions: big Food quality: fresh and tasty Service was really good and they load you up with salsa and all the fixings. The meat was flavorful, salsas were really good too. No complaints. Definitely my new go to

So after 7 months of living in Castro Valley, I finally made time to give this place a try. Ive…read morebeen told by a lot of folks that the food here is delicious and judging from the line I saw when I came in, it looks to be the case. Note, this is more of a review of the taqueria attached to the market and not the market itself, though it looked like it had all the essentials. Meat wise, it's definitely missing my favorites but in this case, it's actually a good thing because it means I'll order things I dont normally order as much. I went with a chivo (goat meat) taco and a super carne asada (grilled steak) burrito. I also picked up a bag of chicharron con carne (pork cracklings with meat) and a side of refried beans. They lady that took care of me was super nice. I love places like this because it gives me a chance to practice my Spanish. What's so awesome about this place is that they are grilling the meats right in front of you, which makes me want to order everything. I took everything home to the family they all loved it. The steak was super juicy and it might be one of the better carne asada I had. Everything tasted super fresh. The chivo taco was very moist and delicious as well. As for the chicharrons, it's chicharrons, it's almost always going to be good and the beans, were delicious as well, wish I ordered some arroz on the side to go with it. I bought the pre-packaged chicharrons by the checkout but if you want yours a little warmer, you can buy at at the meat department in the back of the store. All in all, Im definitely coming back and looking forward to trying their other meat options like al pastor and barbacoa. Given how small their work space is and how busy they might be, be prepared to give some extra time, especially if you are like me and bringing the food back home.

I would strongly encourage people to be cautious when choosing to support Always Yours Bakery Cafe…read morein Castro Valley. I recently came across a former employee's post detailing some very disturbing allegations about the working conditions and food safety practices at this establishment. The concerns include allegedly serving days-old premixed matcha, failing to properly maintain and clean equipment, and, most alarmingly, a reported sewage incident involving human waste near food preparation and display areas. On top of these reported health and sanitation concerns, the former employee described an unfair and hostile working environment where staff allegedly felt disrespected and mistreated. While I cannot personally verify these allegations, they are serious enough to make me reconsider supporting this business. It's hard to support a business when there are such troubling accounts of how employees are treated, especially when potential food safety violations are involved. No employee should have to work in unsafe or degrading conditions, and no customer should have to question whether the food they're purchasing has been handled safely. Please be careful when choosing this bakery and take the time to look into these concerns before supporting the business. Small businesses deserve support, but that support should also come with accountability, respect for employees, and a commitment to basic health and safety standards.
