Usually the stuff I get from Oliver's is first rate, but not the roasted chicken. I was in the mood for chicken. So, went through the available hot roasted chickens and found the one that looked least cooked. Got it home, cut off a leg/thigh and did a quick 30 sec microwave to reheat it. What I got was chicken jerky. Extremely dry and chewy. I guess it is like most other stores when it comes to the roasted chicken. It's a roll of the dice if it will be any good. Oliver's is a bit out of the way for me, but overall, I'm very happy with my purchases. They have a great cheese area and very knowledgeable and helpful people. Their produce is also very good. They have a good selection of other stuff too and I'll hit Oliver's before trying Whole Foods or Petaluma market for stuff I can't get or is better quality than Safeway or Lucky's. read more

Oliver's has a quality selection & the price is okay... you pay a little extra for the quality, but the customer service at the Cotati location makes me want to avoid this place. I'm bewildered by the inept casualness towards their customers at this location. Cringe worthy. I've avoided here a handful of times because of how rude they have been in the past. Darby. read more

Looking for the best tri tip sandwich in the area! I was recommended to try the Friday BBQ tri tip at Olivers! I received excellent customer service from Jake outside at the BBQ stand! The tri tip sandwich was huge! I will be able to have 2 meals! The meat was delicious and tender, the bread was nice and soft. I added some lettuce, white onions, and jalapeños! The sandwich had some BBQ sauce and was very good but I'm still looking for the best tri tip sandwich ever! read more

Favorite Olivers in the whole county. The staff is wonderful a pleasure to deal with as always. They also carry the New York Times, which is like unheard of thank you for that. By the way Olivers shout out keep it up. read more

Ordered a vegan burrito with the vegan chorizo. I asked questions to make sure the beans don't have lard in them or the Mexican rice isn't cooked with chicken broth, obviously an order tailored to someone who prefers vegan food. These guys ended up putting sour cream in it, which the super burritos apparently come with and I didn't realize. After asking questions to make sure the food is vegan, how do you not bring it to my attention and say "hey this burrito typically comes with sour cream. Do you want to leave it out?" read more

Getting discouraged with the bakery department.. I called the other day to order a cake for a birthday party the next day. I was told I needed to order 3 days ahead. I asked if they had a particular cake in the showcase and they did. I said I would pay for it and pick up the next day. I was told they do not take payments over the phone But I can put a hold on the cake and pick up... it was in the evening and I did not want to venture out so I mentioned as such. I was then told I can call back the next day and hold the cake for a few hours and if need be, hold again, as I have to work. Needless to say, there were just too many hula hoops to jump through so I went to the store the next morning and of course, the cake preferred was no longer there. The attendants behind the counter could care less and just shrugged their shoulders.. I find it surprising that with 7 to 8 people behind the counter, that a cake could not be made without a 3 day notice... customer service at the bakery is way below par.. surprised because it is employee owned?? read more

I like shopping here a lot. However, all the baked goods use SOY bean oil. So sad, they cannot up their game and use a better oil as so many of us are highly allergic to SOY. I would probably buy all the cookies, cakes etc. and tell all my many friends on FB to buy them too. Such a shame as this store makes so much $$. read more

Oliver's Market is a Sonoma County staple. They have a lot of local options as well as many made to order areas including sushi, taqueria, deli with a wide selection of fresh items, hot bar, smoothie bar, desserts and pastries. I always know where to go when I'm in a hurry and need a quick meal... Oliver's is the answer. I love the focus on local and know when I shop at Oliver's I am also helping the community too. In addition to their made to order areas, I love the wine and cheese selection. They also have a nice gift selection and so many cards to choose from for all occasions. They also have a nice beauty area in the middle of the store. A lot of the products are natural or organic, which you can't go wrong with! The seafood and meat counter seems to be larger than your average grocery store. The butchers know their stuff too and they also have a wide selection of items. The staff is always friendly and helpful at all Oliver's locations. Oliver's really does have it all and is a great place to shop with so many options for everyone read more

Oliver's is a fabulous local market in Sonoma County. I typically shop at the newer Windsor location but had to be in Cotati today. This Cotati location is a little dated in appearance but is just as well stocked with all your grocery needs including many favorite local products: Cookie...Take A Bite cookies, Sonoma Creamery cheese crisps, local cheeses, wines, coffees... The store is clean and inviting. Oliver's prides itself on taking good care of its employees, and in return the employees are extremely friendly, kind, and helpful, taking good caring of the customers. A winning formula! read more

Cashier Georgia is rude and argumentative. She made a mistake but blamed it on me. The very kind and professional manager, he gets 5+ stars, came over to help fix the issue and while he fixed the problem Georgia stood there and glared at me the entire time. If glaring at someone were an Olympic sport she would definitely take the gold. read more

Oliver's Market - Beautiful varietal. - Grocery Near Me - Cotati, California

Yummy sandwiches. Don't skip the Dutch crunch roll. They seem to be consistent and fresh. I also enjoy the salad bar for lunches

Deli food is great. quality is great. Only real bummer is it's very inconsistent in regards to portion sizes which makes it difficult to gauge every time you want to get lunch. Some days they'll give you a decent sized sandwich and the next they'll use a slice of each ingredient and give you the world's smallest sammy. They typically get pretty busy so if you want to get lunch, you probably want to plan at least an hour ahead of time. Deli staff is relatively chill. They have some employees that kind of have a weird attitude sometimes but hey what place doesn't. All in all get your sandwich make sure you check it because sometimes they'll wrap it with a lot of paper and napkins so it seems a lot bigger than it really is and if it happens to be one of the smaller ones supplement with a smoothie.. at least that's what I do! read more

Great customer service, friendly staff, clean, organized, quality food, it is pricey but you pay for what you get.

Happened to be in the area and wanted a quick lunch. Thought about the deli in this market. As we are in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic, appreciate that the market assigned one person to control the capacity of the facility and assured that the shopping baskets were sanitized. The deli is just by the entrance. There are many different sandwiches to choose from and many options to customize the sandwiches. For this visit, I ordered a boar's head roast beef sandwich on a soft wheat roll and a black forest ham on a dutch crunch roll. There are many cheese, condiment, and variety of fresh item to choose from. Both sandwiches were made to perfection with fresh quality ingredients; the dutch crunch roll was especially good. Service was prompt and courteous. Would probably be thinking of them when in the area again. Note: found out afterward that they also take online order. Great. Should be able to skip the line by ordering online next time read more

Oliver's Market - Grocery Near Me - Cotati, California

Oliver's Market (Cotati) is the reason why I can't move. I don't know how I would ever survive without an Oliver's a couple blocks away. Best produce and best employees. Stellar customer service. Thanks, Oliver's! read more

This review is two-fold: Oliver's AND Oliver's BBQ (weekends) 1. Oliver's market is the quintessential neighborhood market only, with more space and products. They fill each department with staples and surprises, to tempt your adversely. We love cooking SE Asian food for example and, it is a pleasure to be able to find a lot of produce representative of the products we shop for when we are abroad. I love the fruits and vegetables. Everything is fresh. And, if you get home and find it's not as fresh as you expected, they will replace it without a fuss. They have delicious, often warm from their suppliers oven, breads. A huge variety of local bakeries have goods available. The deli has a good car selection of meats, cheeses and salads. They have a nice selection of wines and no, they aren't all expensive! The beer and booze selection is good too, particularly their micro brews. 2. Do not miss their weekend BBQ! They offer a mouthwatering steak Sandi cooked to order, ribs (baby back and large) chicken and burgers. The grilled corn is crispy and moist. Thanks Oliver!!! We shall return read more

There do are a lot of things I like about this store. The deli offers so many sandwiches, salads and sides. They have a salad and soup bar. There is also a bakery in this grocery store. I picked up the orange chicken for a quick lunch. It wasn't very flavorful it was just okay. The BBQ meats smelled delicious. The store was packed and it was hard to find a parking space. read more

Love this market!!! Lots of great selection to choose from. Various food sections are available, hot food and ready to eat. Great vibe and friendly staff. read more

First and foremost, I am not an avid Oliver's shopper, but this store lives up to their reputation hands down. I have visited this store numerous time and each time very impressed, not only by their employees, but also the amount of stock they have at relatively good prices. I can see why they give Whole Foods a run for their money. I really wish the small chain was closer to where I live as I could see myself shopping their more, but at least I have one close to my work. As for the store itself, everything is laid out in a reasonably easy fashion in terms of item placement. Falling back on the employee comment, each time I have had questions, they take their time walking me to the items that I needed (Quality customer service). Lines can be long at times, but all registers are open, so its not like they are short handed, they are just that popular! Looking forward to my next visit! read more

I love this store for their Seafood, produce, and meat department. They are simply the best in every way! I don't normally leave reviews, but today I had the nicest experience with my cashier at the Cotati store. I had my infant and toddler with me and my cashier Elendrill (not sure if that's spelled right) came around to help me unload my cart and started chatting with my 6 year old about being a big brother. She was so friendly and helpful . Another employee (I didn't get his name ) then jumped in to start ringing up items and then started bagging when she came back. I can't remember the last time I've had such a nice grocery experience with my two kids. I also have to mention the employee in the liquor department was super helpful in helping me pick out a IPA for my husband. Oliver's market you are worth every penny and Elendrill you rock! Thanks for helping this momma out. read more

Great store. Friendly staff. Always busy. Produce, meat, bakery always fresh and delicious.

It was a beautiful store but I got all of mix with mushrooms out of their olive bar and it just didn't taste right and also I got shepherd's pie and it was horrible. We also tried the teriyaki chicken bowl with rice and it was very awful we had to throw it away. We went up to the Russian River with food and didn't like much of the food we got. I would not recommend this store at least not anything toward their deli section. read more

Wonderful. So cute. We stopped here to get a quick lunch and it was the most enjoyable shopping experience. We were able to customize our sandwiches so I could get ciabatta and the worker too the time to check that they had the bread. Super fast service even at peak business time. The bakery selection was huger and all looked fresh. We got fantastic roast beef and turkey sandwiches. read more

I went into the bakery at 11am to order a cake for the following day at 5 pm. The clerk informed me I couldn't order a cake unless I give them 72 hours notice. They had numerous cakes in the counter, bit at no time did they offer to decorate one of those for me. In fact he said in order to get a Birthday, decorated cake, I needed to call in the morning, see what cakes were baked and get one of those. I asked, What cakes are you baking in the morning? He said, I don't know." I asked again, "how many are you baking?" He asked the person behind him(I assume his mgr.) and came back with, "I don't know." I was stunned. Really, you're going to bake, but you won't bake one for me? They had no interest in helping me at all. Maybe Oliver's is a little full of themselves. I left, and drove over to El Paso Bakery, on Ol Redwood Hwy, not more than 4 minutes away. There I found a friendly person who said, "No problem"and took my order. That's what I call service. They really cared and the next day I picked up a beautiful birthday, decorated cake. That's service. read more

Cause I'm giving Oliver's two stars, and the two stars are for their selection of food and wonderful produce. They would've gotten five stars but their employees are EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. This doesn't pertain to all of their employees, but on a whole every time I go there I've been bumped into you and bypassed by one of their employees without so much as an "excuse me." Instead, they stare at you blankly like you've got 10 heads! There have been a couple people that have been very polite, but on a hole I am feel wing like I walk on eggshells when I go in there, because they are not friendly and accommodating. Most of the employees act as though you were disrupting their day. It's a shame, because this place is in walking distance from my home and very convenient but I rather drive to Rhonert Park, or Petaluma to do my shopping from now on. Again, this is not a one time thing. I've lived here now for two years and it's constant. Extremely poor customer service with a very entitled attitude. read more

This store used to be the best place ever. I would sing its praises from the mountain tops. Since COVID, this place has gone down the toilet in a huge way. 75% of the time they don't monitor the door even though they tout they do. Social distancing is not enforced inside at all. Selling rotten meat and not caring when brought to their attention, spoiled fruit and veggies. The only thing that has increased is their prices. +20% on certain items. Prices have sky rocketed and what they offer have gone down. I would say this is Whole Food prices and FoodMax quality. I'm sick of buying meat/produce just to have it go bad within 24 hours. Edit: Oh, I also have called several times on this. They don't care. I called about moldy strawberries just before this and I got bounced between 4 wrong departments and just put on hold. Only to be told that there's nothing to be done. read more

I spent 3 years in the void of Texas. Where food quality takes a back seat to "whatever can be transported in." It's so very easy to stop and eat at all the amazing food options in Sonoma county. To live here, come this way and meet our local favorite, Ollie's. After my stint in Texas, I moved next to Oliver's with intention. From pre-made food to local organic favorites, Ollie's is the only place I go when I need: The best locally made chips in the world, stocked on their shelves covered in the perfect amount of oil and like salt. A picnic lunch pre-made for a winery or the River or the beach! From wraps, salads, sammies, this is no Safeway deli, your taste buds will thank me. The best locally sourced meat, fish, oysters! I often get analysis paralysis when trying to determine where to bring or what to cook for out of towners. I almost always end up here because the food quality is amazing. Just yesterday, scored amazing bbq oysters for the beach! The best produce anywhere. So good they'll clean and cut you a sample if you'd like to try before you buy. Ranch. I will never eat ranch again as I did as a child. Hidden Valley is the name and it has no game! Oliver's makes their own bottled dressings in house, the ranch goes fast. For good reason. Beer, wine, cider! The best cold and ready to drink selection anywhere! This goes for non alcoholic drinks as well! The gift and floral department.... I can always count on Ollie's to have my back when I've waited in appropriate amounts of time to buy a gift. Always on rotation, you will undoubtedly find the perfect little treasure for a gift. Lastly, do not miss the bbq on spring-fall weekends. Bbq tri tip, oysters, salmon, chicken, sandwiches, all amazing, with a dose of live music. Enjoy hungry people, enjoy. Next time you are stressing over what to pickup to take to the beach, stop at Oliver's :) read more

Great staff. Good fresh food items as well as packaged items and everything in between.

Absolutely love their homemade soups. And free samples to help you select what you want. Although they are all so good it can be difficult. The wine selection is vast with excellent offerings. And the staff at checkout are always very personable. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the prices are a tad on the high side. read more

Oliver's Market - Amazing bakery! - Grocery Near Me - Cotati, California

Absolutely the best grocery market of all time. Easily the best in Sonoma County! This is always my go to store, forget Safeway, Whole Foods, or anything else. This may seem like a fancier food store like Whole Foods to some, and while they have a lot of specialty items like Whole Foods, they do not have the same price tag. There are a few exceptions to that, but for anything too pricey we just go somewhere else. They have the greatest produce section, almost anything you could think of, they will have it. Everything is always great quality. They have a wonderful deli and prepared foods section. The hot bar always has yummy options and they have packaged options so you can take home and heat up later. Almost everything we've tried from their prepared foods is great. The salad bar is massive, literally any topping you want or could think of. Lots of different salad greens, dressings, and for a great price. The soup bar is great as well! They make killer soups, the potato leek and the white bean and kale are some of our favorites. My boyfriend and I also love the taqueria, can't go wrong with anything from there. Also if you like artisan cheeses, you'll freak. Lol I am not a huge cheese fan myself but my boyfriend and his family are so they love the cheese section. Also if you are a cheese newbie like me, they have people there to answer any question you may have. They can even cut pieces off for you to try, and change size of any block of cheese to a smaller size if you only needed a small amount. The meat department is fantastic as well, they always have great deals and the meat quality in comparison to other meat departments we have visited, is MUCH better. Also they always get fresh crabs around the season and man, you should see the lines lol! Insane! Obviously I could keep going, they pretty much got it all! A bakery, coffee and smoothie bar, a health and beauty section with a ton of lovely products, and so much more! Also they do bbq in the summer/warmer months and it's insanely good! Their tri-tip is bomb. I also really appreciate the employees, such nice people and so helpful. Also love that they carry and support A LOT of products from local companies in the area. They are very proud of that and it's pretty great. read more

Oliver's Markets are my favorite stores to shop in Sonoma County. The atmosphere is awesome. Staff is helpful. Store is clean. The produce is some of the best around--always fresh. The cakes from their bakery are the best around. We get cakes there for every occasion in our family. People think the prices in the store are too high. You definitely get what you pay for. And Oliver's offers items on sale just like other grocery stores and a wide variety of brands to choose from. It's one stop shopping for us as they also have a great deli, gifts & health products, many of them local. Another plus is that the stores are employee owned. read more

Love love love the sushi here! Aside from other sushi places in Ropo nothing beats the half off after 8:30pm! Comes out to be $4 or $5 for a lot of sushi! No wait just grab and go! Kind staff always and their Fred market tuna is the best. I made poke one night that lasted me 3 days! read more

Oliver's has always been an all time favorite of mine. Locally owned and owned by the employees themselves. I know the employees love working here because I've seen the same ones over and over again for years and years. The Cotati location has always been a favorite of mine. The Stony point location seems to have to many young employees it's hard to keep track. The Montecito location is a claustrophobic disaster and I stay away al all cost! Cotati has this cute funky vibe that I love so much. Oliver's has fresh local produce. Granted , it's a pricey store. You do get what you pay for. However, I do purchase some items in other places because it's less expensive. Their Taqueria is top notch and hook it up. read more

I have lived next to Oliver's since they first opened. I believe every meal I ever had at home some part of it was from Oliver's! if we needed anything we would just run into Oliver's and we knew we will be getting the best experience in store and a great product at home. I have two big dogs at home and I always ask the butcher if they could cut me some big dog bones for them. Thanks for taking care of my best friends! read more

Read up about it during my search for some locally made popcorn for a present for my friend who always raves about it. Thought it was going to be some sort of trendy environment from what I could find online, but in person I found out it could not be any more different. When I finished at Oliver's, I felt like I was supporting local products, getting better products for myself, and being a part of an extremely friendly community. The store had an amazing selection of everything you could ask for. Don't let its initiatives for health, environment, and locality keep you from realizing it's as well-fit for everybody as any grocery store. Come here for grocery shopping and you'll find everything you'll find at another. The best part is that most things are labeled (gluten-free, organic, local, etc.). It really helps customers find what they want and helps customers feel like they're contributing to the local economy. The prices might be a little bumped up, but the product selection is different. You won't find a collection of such diverse items from hot sauces, to imported goods, to produce, to beer, and more anywhere else. Yes, I would drive an hour away for an Oliver's Market trip--I absolutely would and will continue to do so. read more

I went in on Thursday at 420 and waited in line at the taqueria. I had my forms filled out like i usually do for our burrito order. I hand my forms to the guy and he snaps at me that those are the old forms. You need the new forms. I said okay. And again he snaps and says you'll have to wait a bit those are the old forms and the prices have gone up so you'll have to wait. Well no I don't have to wait nor do I ever need to return there for dinner Especially when we're trying to give back and eat out more often then usual. What ever happened to customer service ? I understand he was busy and had several orders but the way he talked to me was unbelievable. I just got off work and have to deal with a holes, I don't need to get that kind of service from one read more
