Love it here! I come all the time for random snacks or even just to walk around (pre-covid). The staff is always friendly and very helpful, and I think they continue to do a great job despite of covid. The prices aren't bad, and I think they do a good job of Serving a diverse population. read more

The two women working the express line today at 2:50pm could not be ruder or more dismissive to your customers if they tried. Oliver's can be very hit and miss with it's employees. Usually their best ones are overworked in the deli or meat department. read more

Great market. I like that they stock from local vendors, they are very pricy but who isent now a days ( thanks Joe ) if your looking for something odd, you can usually find it @ Oliver's, salad bar is always fresh and sandwiches are delicious. Staff is always mcurtious and friendly . Highly recommend. read more

It makes me cringe how awful their costumer service is. The cashiers have so much attitude, god forbid you ask a question! It's always met with an "I don't know" and an eye roll. No actual help or wanting to help. I've worked retail for over 10 years and couldn't imagine being so casually unhelpful and inept toward costumers. It's not worth going to an overpriced crowded store to be met with annoyingly rude cashiers. read more

Such a cute place to go. I was in town and I was looking for a place to grab dessert for my friends birthday. After asking a few people this place came highly recommended. I immediately drove over to check it out and to grab some dessert. It reminded me a lot of the delis that you often see in New York and on Long Island. There was so much to choose from. I only explored the bakery area but could tell that there was a ton of fresh produce as well. Bakery has everything you could ever want. On top of just being convenient this place had a ton of cute unique options. The quality of the bake goods were absolutely amazing I will definitely go back the next time I'm in town. read more

I used to love Oliver's They have a nice selection of specialty foods and organic produce. They are very well staffed so even when it's busy you can move through lines relatively quickly. My biggest complaint is that the staff are consistently talking more with each other than paying attention to the customer right in front of them I find it rude and annoying And it makes me shop elsewhere read more

The meat department does this a lot. I've had to take back old sausages. The hamburger meat looked red. I drive 5 minutes home. Paid $8.00 a pound. I love this store I spend an easy 200.00 a week. read more

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

I don't know about you but I bought three premade dinners and a burrito there last week and it came to $49. If I would've bought the same thing at Safeway it would've cost $29. What you're paying for here at Olivers is the fact that you're shopping at Olivers which which is supposed to make you feel special, Because you're paying eye prices. Higher prices than normal. I guess that's the gimmick. Well the store is beautifully laid out, and it's easy to get help from an employee, friendly employee at that, it's just not worth the astronomical price tag that you're going to pay when you check out. I only use this place now when I need a half a gallon of milk and some bananas. I do my heavy shopping at Safeway. read more

Delightful staff and great store for hard to find culinary items and unique foods, cheese, etc. However, they are extremely overpriced!

Great quality products awesome local business-friendly employees only employees only thing is it's a little bit pricey but it's better than Whole Foods and local read more

Do not attempt to shop here if you have a service dog. I saw the store manager harrassing a shopper for having a service dog in the store. The store manager in Cotati demanded proof that the dog is a service dog. The customer said that he knew his rights and could not be required to divulge that information because it would also divulge his ailment, the store manager simply said "I do not believe you". What has happened to customer service at the Cotati location? read more

I feel like Oliver's is the locals WHole Foods now that WF is a conglomeration. It's delicious, relatively fresh, and expensive. I hate that I have to do so much of my shopping here because this was always my special occasion grocery store back in Windsor. I shopped primarily at Raley's even though I didn't love it. The Oliver's in Cotati is friendly but often has questionable fruit close to expiring. Especially watermelon towards the end of its season because it's hard to tell when they're sludge inside but I got a few of those this season. I was pregnant and eating 1 a week and boy did i get some bad ones. I know Oliver's, and most stores, will take back food if it's bad but I was pregnant and barely getting to the store as it is. The seafood/meat area smells so bad in this store, I don't know what it is but I have a VERY rough time walking by. Other than that this is a great store with a lot of ready made options, a great deli and awesome cheese people. I like coming here and you'll keep seeing me read more

This place consistently rocks. The freshest food products, the happiest and most helpful employees I've seen (for years), and senior shopping day. I'd live there if that wasn't so weird. read more

I love that when people move out of Sonoma County, often what they say they miss the most is being able to shop at Olivers! Olivers has the best produce (especially at the Cotati location) and great cheese selections, wines, hot bar, salad bar. I've been going there for years, but felt moved to write a review recently as I stopped to get a cake for a friend's birthday at the Windsor location and the two women who helped me in the cake section were so incredibly kind and went out of their way to help me with something special. I had had a really hard week and their kindness made me cry. REAL PEOPLE. REAL FOOD. read more

Best grocery store ever! Great mix of specialty and organic food plus more common products. I love their prepared food. Tasty, healthy and reasonably priced. read more

How about like sprouts. Good selection of organic stuff, lots of fair selection of things in bins. Quality of their produce looks quite good. He recommended, if you're in the area. read more

Honeynut squash on the west coast!?! Thank you, Oliver's! These are a creation of chef Dan Barber (Blue Hill) and Cornell seed breeder Michael Mazourek. Imagine a butternut squash with a super concentrated squash flavor. The squashiest squash you'll ever taste. They're becoming more common at farmers' markets on the east coast, but I've never been able to find them on the west coast. Until today - at Olivers! Please keep stocking these and I'll keep coming in! read more

This is a really nice supermarket with an incredible produce selection, A really great bulk food area, lots and lots of gourmet items, specialty items, amazing seasonal items, friendly staff, very helpful and informative. Do they cost more than other grocery stores? Yes. But I'm okay with that because I think they are doing great things for the store and for their employees. I really love their salad bar as well, and their deli makes some of the best sandwiches. They have lots of specialty natural items and a great selection for gift giving as well. They have a really extensive cheese selection and usually a devoted staff member who is happy to help you make the perfect selection and you are also able to sample some items. They really are a top notch grocery store. read more

Fresh local food, great butcher, delicious and bakery. Employees are always helpful and friendly.

Wow, if we lived in Sonoma County we would shop here every week - heck, maybe twice a week! Being a visitor, alas, meant we were confined to the cheese dept. Small but absolutely choice! Brie Fermier - the rarest Brie of all! And the lush and buttery Cremeux de Bourgogne from Burgundy? STUNNING! My Spouse and I are now officially envious of Sonoma County residents. Seriously, deeply, envious. That deli section looked to die for! read more

I love this store! It's cleaned and well-run. And they have everything you could possibly imagine. Especially great for organic meats and produce. Best of all, they offer seniors 60 and over, a 10% discount on Wednesdays. Guess when I like go shopping at Oliver's? read more

I was encouraged to go here, as locals say it is "better than Whole Foods." So I was excited. But to my disappointment, the prices are similar to Whole Foods, no cheaper and the selection is not as extensive. Nonetheless, it is an awesome grocery store that offers a variety of natural, whole and plant-based products. However, I was particularly disappointed with the pre-packaged juice selections. Another positive is the pumpkin, corn, lemongrass soup. It was in the refrigerated section and I was skeptical about the flavor, especially since I had eaten the brussel sprouts, quinoa and cranberry salad from the cooked-in-store case and was deeply craving any kind of seasoning. But the soup was impressive. It was vegan and super flavorful. I only had to add some fresh cracked pepper (because everything is better with fresh cracked pepper AND sriracha!). read more

This is the 3rd time that we have ordered a Super Burrito from Oliver's Market in Cotati. For some reason, the sour cream seems to always be missing! This time, we paid for a large super burrito and both the sour cream and guacamole were missing!!! Sorry, but despite having to drive back from Sebastopol to Cotati, I wanted to get my $12.01 ($10.99 plus tax) back and let your employee-owned store know that you need to do a better job! C'mon Oliver's, your food is delicious if you would just give us what we paid for! Dinner was ruined. Luckily we bought two pints of Strauss ice cream. read more

I'll never understand why they do not make enough chorizo burritos in the morning at Oliver's. Clearly it is the most popular breakfast burrito they offer but they never seem to have any out there, just a crap ton of bacon and sausage ones that clearly nobody wants because the bacon is undercooked and the sausage chunks are huge. I was so optimistic this morning, but as per usual, they were already sold out at 7:45. I now understand that if I want to get a chorizo burrito, I need to be in their door by 7:10, And cross my fingers that they actually made some that day. read more

They make great fried chicken, not too salty like others. Great hot to go dishes, salads, and soups. I love that they have deviled eggs! Who has the time. The grocery store has plenty to offer along with its own bakery, cheese department where someone is there to help you. If you are looking for a mocha frappes, they have a department for that as well. read more

This is an adorable little market in the middle of what is apparently a verizon wireless dead-zone bc I had no reception, no gps, no nothing and was forced to pull over, park, and come in to see if they have wifi. They do! This market is vibrant and fresh as heck. The fruit & veggie selection was beautiful and they carry a number of meal-inspiring specialty items. Some of those specialty or luxury items will cost you a pretty penny- like the $9 little tub of strawberries, but yeah, they're beautiful and they were washed with the stems cut off and as I heard a woman remark how ridiculous it would be to pay that, I didn't disagree... but it also made me want that tub of super model strawberries like nobody's business. The staff were great, the lines moved quickly, and the customers somehow seemed more "normal" than the customers at my local grocery store. Maybe this is what the perks of not living in a big city are all about? read more

As a local Sonoma County vegan, this is my go-to grocery store. They have some GREAT vegan and vegetarian options. I also try to do as much low-waste shopping as possible. They do have paper bags and some low-waste options in-store. Everyone there is always kind and helpful. They also have great fresh soups! Wish they had more vegan options in the bakery and fresh food counter. Grateful that they transitioned into being employee-owned in recent years as well. read more

Mikey at the deli had great, professional service despite the busy after work crowd. Major props for getting things done efficiently without a sweat! read more

Always top notch. All the staff is friendly and willing to assist in getting you what you need or want. The deli is amazing. The sushi is very good. The hot food is very good. The bakery with its cakes and other treats is of the best in the area. The cheese selection is incredible. The organic and non produce is all beautiful and fresh. The fish market is always offering fresh caught. The meat and poultry is all fresh and fair. All the other grocery aisles are filled with the best you could want. There are even gifts and flowers. And of course a huge variety of ice cream. And the wine and beer selection is large and varied. We are blessed to have such an amazing local grocery chain. Don't miss your opportunity to visit a special place. read more

Okay, where to start. We all love Oliver's here in Cotati. I've been to the other Oliver's only to find each one the same, but oh so very different too. Well, carry many of the same things, but like any good marketing scheme, cater to the locals. For instance, there's a terrible price for Lagunitas IPA at the Oliver's in Rincon Valley. It never goes on sale. And my friend who lives there just says "There's nothing but old people out here. No one buys it!". But when pointing out, it always goes on sale at "my" Oliver's she simply quips "Yeah, that's because you're in a college town where the kids drink beer." The largest of the three Oliver's in Sonoma County is located in Cotati. I think it generally speaking has the best prices between each location and also the best selection. Especially the bulk section. Sprouts in Petaluma rivals Oliver's bulk section, but only by freshness/sale pricing, not by selection. The main reason I love this Oliver's, besides being close to my house, always having affordable deals, fresh barbecue to buy that you can smell walking in (on weekends and holidays), the awesome soup and salad bars, the cheese samples throughout the store, the really fresh and obscure produce (like over 10 types of mushrooms, fresh turmeric, fresh galangal, and say ... passion fruit?), the fact that there is always a good beer sale (always at least one good IPA on sale each week) - not to mention an awesome beer selection, is that ... no matter which way I change my diet/lifestyle they always have an awesome selection of tasty goodness. Oh going vegan this week? Try some fresh sliced vegan bread, or some awesome frozen gourmet veggies patties (I recommend frying in coconut oil straight in a pan for best results), or meander down the dairy isle and at the end is all your dairy free wide selection of vegan "cheeze" and soy based products. They do have some good miso selections too, but if you want a really good miso selection from local companies (cheaper too) head down the street to the Asian market by Mike's at the Crossroads. Or if you are feeling especially carnivorous, this Oliver's has killer meat. The butchers will trim, cut, or even order/save special cuts (we once stumbled upon some pork belly for almost nothin) ... but hey, don't all the specialty gourmet grocery stores do that? There is just a HUGE selection here by the other fancy grocery store standards. Ehem, yes, even over Whole Foods in Coddingtown in Santa Rosa. Better prices too. Not that much better mind you, but we all love our grass fed beef and local fresh-never-frozen Rocky Chicken, right? And don't get me started on the deli ... great sandwiches, wraps, and salads. A complaint? The sushi bar. It's terrible. It's made fresh but once we had the sushi at Sprouts, couldn't go back to the packaged sushi at Oliver's. The rice is really bland and mushy. You can't have mushy rice in a roll, that's a no-no. Basically, if you shop the deals here and look to where they can be found you can get out of here with a really healthy basket of goodies at a low price. My favorite latest find? If you buy the sunflower sprouts in the salad bar, they work out to under half the price of the prepackaged sunflower sprouts in the produce section. And you get to pick out all the good ones! Oh and if you ask to buy something by the case (like if the coconut oil goes on sale for $7.99 from $18.99 or your favorite olive oil goes on sale for $9.99 from $21.99) you not only get the sale price but you get an additional ten percent off. Awesome! I could really gush about this place for days, but really, I'm sure you'll just bump into me there tomorrow. And while you're there, don't forget to check out the ethnic isle. Everything from authentic Jewish, UK, Irish, and Italian imported food. I wish I could afford all the Italian stuff! Some really great olive mixes, condiments, truffle this and that ... ah to be a foodie. To be a foodie, is to love this Oliver's. read more

I wanted to express my appreciation for having such a first rate and well run grocery/supermarket such as Oliver's to frequent for most of my daily needs. First, Oliver's Cotati is kind-of-a mix of hippie-ish health food store and modern grocery that is both relaxed and well presented. It is not an especially large market compared to the number of Whole Foods, Dragers, and Andronicos that I've shopped at when living in other parts of the Bay Area. Oliver's does not at first appear to be as upscale as these other markets I've mentioned; but, I do not think that is the niche they are going for. Just the same, Oliver's imparts a boutique feel with all the wonderful specialty items they offer. Also, the produce department, meat department, wine department, vitamin department, bakery, and gift center are certainly impressive enough. I love the fact Oliver's is MY local market, not a big chain or an upscale brand to flaunt. Their organic produce and organic products in general are prevalent and I will almost always choose an organic product if it is available. I actually count the products that are not organic at the checkout line to see how well I'm doing in my desire to be all organic. It is also very nice that Oliver's highlights items grown and/or produced in Sonoma County. I think it is very important that cities and communities keep jobs, transportation of goods, and the "energy" of their locales close to home. It is this very spirit of Oliver's that raises a mere local business to a member of the community to enthusiastically support. I often shop at Oliver's Market twice a day for my fresh groceries, not only because I find most everything I need there; but, because I am so comfortable there . . . Oliver's is my kind of market. Thank You to all the employees of Oliver's Market Cotati that makes it that way! Review 0005 read more

People who shop here are snobby but it's good food.The bbq is super bomb got to try the tri tip sandwich!

I went here last weekend for a few quick items. Oliver's grocery store is bright and designed just about like other grocery stores. Crowded. I think it's employee owned. The Cotati/Rohnert Park was their premiere store. I really like how many aisles show off Sonoma County merchandise & sales. Keeping it local is a fav of mine. I always can pay a few cents more for local. I miss Vallarga's in Napa, which closed a few months back. It would be lovely to have an Oliver's store in Napa. Just sayin '. read more

It's like the other Oliver's markets in Sonoma county - The locally owned version of Whole Foods. Great quality meats, deli items, bakery items made in house. Produce section usually carries tasty vegetables and fruits. Tries to source them as locally as possible. Emphasis on organic items. The salad bar is top notch for wide selection, freshness and flavor. The hot / steam table is okay, it is not epicurean cuisine. If you're craving turkey breast with gravy and mashed potatoes on a cold winter day - This will satisfy. I like the bulk bins for granola, pop corn, etc... Cool that there's a homeopathic remedies section always staffed by a knowledgeable person. Prices higher than a Safeway, Lucky's, Albertson's. But like the man sez "You get what you pay for..." read more

If it is possible to be in love with a grocery store, I am in love with Oliver's Market in Cotati. Admittedly, I am not your average grocery shopper. I buy fresh fruit, a few dairy items, prepared deli and way too much beer. (My wife does most of the "regular" grocery shopping. I just pick up the specialty stuff or the stuff we use up fast.) I have been going to this Oliver's market for over 20 years, since I first moved to the area. If you are looking for a great selection of beer at reasonable prices, you will not be disappointed. They have a WIDE variety of six packs (ranging from about $7.99 and up) and bombers (from about $4.99 and up). The back cooler has some of their more geeky products (sours, Belgian style beers, some of the higher end craft beers like Dogfish head and the like). If you are looking for really, really, really geeky stuff this may not be your place but if you want to pick up some solid brews, you cannot go wrong. They sometimes (but not often) have a bargain bin in the beer section. It is mostly odds and ends marked at about $.99 / bottle. It is a bit hit-and-miss, but I always check it out when it is there. It is a bit like a treasure hunt (although not a very long treasure hunt, since the bin is not that big). Oh, did I mention that you can buy singles of any bottled beer, right out of the six packs? Not sure if you will like the new chocolate infused pale ale? Want to try one habanero infused IPA but not sure what to do with six? You can buy ANY bottled beer in singles and a price only slightly higher than you would pay for beer in a six pack or four pack. The prepared food is really terrific, too. Great sandwiches, a nice hot bar (if a bit spendy) and some very solid sushi (OK, it is grocery story sushi, so I should say "solid, rated on a scale.") The produce is also solid. I cannot say that it is exceptional (like the beer aisle) but they always have a nice selection at not super high prices. read more

Yes, this place has a great wine selection, beer selection, cheese selection, produce selection, etc. This is not why I love Oliver's Market. One word: BURRITO. I hate tex-mex burritos. I *adore* Oliver's tex-mex burrito. I spent 3 years in RoPo, and I ate an Oliver's burrito probably once per week. I recently went back a couple weeks ago, the burrito was amazing as ever. I cannot express how wonderful and tasty this thing is. I will post pictures above, they will do the talking. Let me guide you to a perfect burrito order: 1) Super Burrito. Do not get anything smaller, you can cut it in half and save it for later if you must. Yes, it's $8. It's worth every penny and the smaller ones are nowhere near as good. 2) Chicken. I typically ONLY eat carne asada. I get the chicken here. They do it amazing. 3) NO LETTUCE NO TOMATO. Don't do it. 4) Beans = Refried. Cheese = Yes. Mushrooms = Yes. Cilantro = Yes. Onions = Yes. Write "GRILLED PLEASE :-)" next to the onions. They will be 1,000 times better. 5) Pico De Gallo salsa. 6) Free chips please! Prepare yourself for awesomeness. If you're nice to the guy/gal working the taqueria, he/she might make it extra special and huge. mmmmmmm. Now commence stuffage into your face. :-) read more
