    I love everything about this place! It was so cute! All the items sold here is local/ small produced or really high quality items. They had everything from cookbooks, chocolates, pasta, condiments and alcohol. If you love to cook with high quality ingredients or love a healthy snack or just appreciate little details, you're gonna love this place.

    The Slanted Door mushroom baos
    Toni M.

    After lunch at Troy today Mary and I walked into Of All Places, where we were warmly greeted by Celia and Joe. We wandered through the store looking at the various products on the shelves. When I got to the cold case I grabbed a package of the Slanted Door mushroom baos and look forward to having a couple of them for lunch tomorrow. As we were checking out Celia and I got into a conversation about the hours we sleep, having dogs, dog doors and raccoons coming into houses through them. I stay up late and sleep late. When I had dogs, Emily got along w/ the raccoons, allowing them in the house while we were at work, while Genie wouldn't. I have a Dutch door w/ the top open downstairs which keeps the raccoons out of the house. When I had dogs I couldn't close it because they would be unable to access the dog door, but now that I am w/o a dog I keep the Dutch door closed so if they do come in the dog door they can't get beyond the space where the furnace, water heater and washer/dryer are. Celia and Joe can't have a dog door because of the raccoons and their dog wakes her to go out. Mary bought some French made whipped cream which she plans to use on top of hot chocolate and her morning mocha. She seemed to be as enthralled w/ Of All Places as I am. Addendum 1/1/25 I had two of the mushroom baos for lunch today and was disappointed. They were good, but not great. They tasted good, but I would prefer more filling and less bread so I won't buy them again. It was worth a try.

    Fun haul (different each time)

    Ah, I don't come here nearly enough...Such a creative, fun, unusual selection, from beverages (alcoholic and non-) to edibles; most I rarely if ever see elsewhere, including the yummy (ethically sourced) Fishwife* line of tinned fish, raw Berkeley honey, a strawberry/yuzu (!) spritz/aperitivo, gourmet chips and chocolates, and so much more. All in one sweet place. The owners are lovely and welcoming as is their friend who was there today. Each time I've left with treasures (see photo); I'll be back soon, this time! (Love their music too, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxWxXncl53U) * Also love that women-owned businesses are highlighted, e.g. Fishwife and Maeve / Seattle Chocolate

    Sweet selection of hard to find food items. Very helpful and pleasant people. I'm sorry that I didn't find them sooner.

    Very welcoming, and it feels like a great addition to Solano Avenue.

    Been wanting to visit this place for some time now. The food is absolutely amazing, fresh, juicy…read morekabobs, and so much more!! Had the pleasure of meeting the owner (Amir) who was so welcoming and helpful. The menu is simple and to the point. Classic Iranian cuisine with no fuss! If you need middle eastern groceries, they have a market next door. They carry a few different Palestinian products which I was quick to buy. Purchased the Al-Ard extra virgin olive oil. This place is a gem and will be my go to place for Persian food whenever I'm in the area.

    I was in Berkeley and craved Mediterranean, I was not disappointed by this lovely gem of a…read morerestaurant and market! It's been in business 54 years. Generations have shopped and eaten the wonderful food here. I ordered the Baarg and it came quickly- cooked to order. Amir has owned it the part 11 years, and his father before him. The Shiraz salad was the best I've ever had. Rice was perfection. The Baarg was so tender and delicious.. Amir made sure everything was perfect. This place is great for families and very reasonably priced for the high quality of food. The place is charming with a terrace out back and the World Cup game in tonight. They have live music Friday nights and a host of other events all month. Check the calendar in the hall by the patio. I highly recommend!

    This is a small local market that is convenient and is stocked with a good variety of products. The…read moreproblem is the produce is mediocre, even sometimes rotten, (especially bad when compared to Monterey Market up the street) and the owner/manager is rude. I swing by often but after recent visits I wonder why I spend so much money on overpriced bad produce from a nasty person. YMMV

    Yeah no. Back in the mid 2000s, til about 2012, I regularly shopped in this small local,…read moreemployee-owned grocers because it was close to where I lived, I prefer small, neighborhood markets, and I liked that everything was organic. I liked the long-time manager Michael (now many years retired). I was out of state for about 10 years, and returned a few years ago. I have dropped in here now and then for an item or two (or just to use the restroom, which is always very clean), and left empty-handed each time because the prices are laughably exorbitant. You can tell a lot about a business - grocers or other - by the mood or attitude when you walk in. I don't know if employees have been burned by bad customers or if it is just more post-pandemic 'Weltschmerz,' but whenever I stopped in here I never felt welcomed, or as though the staff actually enjoy working here. I hear no customer-staff friendly banter, see hardly any smiles. It is just stony-faced, entitled (mostly white) people getting what they need, not interacting with or making eye contact with others, much less exchanging smiles or friendly "hellos." It is one more example of the bratty coldness that has taken over most of Berkeley, which breaks my heart. This used to be a lovely market to call my "neighborhood market," but absolutely no longer is. Before any employees or the manager chime in with a response to defend their laughably exorbitant prices by reminding me of how small a market they are - whoa there, little kitties - your prices are still higher than Monterey Market up the road or another employee-owned market, Berkeley Bowl. I can't even afford to puchase a bottle of mustard here, and must get it at Trader Joes. Be honest: This market is for VERY WEALTHY PEOPLE ONLY or for people who DON'T MIND MAXXING OUT THEIR CREDIT CARDS HERE so that they can feel like one of the "cool kids" for shopping here. Your produce is beautiful, your shop very spic 'n span clean, I appreciate that you offer non-GMO and Fair Trade groceries, but you could do better, truly, by making the less-than-ridiculously wealthy people feel more welcome here. You'd have to care about us first though.
