Amazing experience at the Mediterranean Market at Grove's Farmers Market today. I knew they were…read moreknown for their dubai chocolate, baklava and other treats, but I just had to try it in person. A nice young lady working there recommended to me to try their traditional baklava as well as the chocolate one. Both were very top tier, but the chocolate baklava really spoke to me. The textures of a bit crispy on outside with very soft, almost juicy filling of nuts, chocolate and their yummy syrup on the inside, made this chocolate baklava simply heavenly. After the first bite, my taste buds and my whole mouth just said Wooow! The baklava, especially the chocolate one, is absolutely positively a must try when you visit this Mediterranean spot. Good vibes here too, as there are a lot of tourists here and it's a cool people-watching opportunity and the tables to sit down and eat are just everywhere. Grove's Farmers Market is a historical, special place to visit and within the confines of this special place, is this magical baklava shop that's just a must. Will definitely be back again for more!

I brought family that were visiting from out of state & they were amazed at how big & how much stuff they have. It really is an Asian Costco! I found a bunch of stuff to make congee breakfast: chili bamboo, pickled cucumber, wheat gluten with peanuts. Then gonna bunch of snacks! Sooo much snacks & sauces & drinks! They even have fresh veggies, frozen items & a whole aisle of utensils, cookware, kitchen & dining items!

You could get a membership if you'd like but non-members are also welcome to shop! I plan on coming back here again this weekend. It's worth the drive from the Central Valley to So Cal! I found some awesome deals while shopping. They had three large Korean pears for $3!!! That's such a steal. I was so happy to find my favorite fruit at a great price. Among my groceries, I treated myself to the viral fruit shaped ice cream. I believe it was $7 for a pack of three. I feel like it's a lot more affordable here than places in my hometown that charge more than half of the price for just one. It was tasty and I can definitely see the hype.

The discovery of this place was because of dining at Sanamluang next door years ago. Mom went in…read moreand found a a specific meat product not available at our local supermarket. And she made something amazingly delicious out of it! Fast forward a few years later, we were blocks away when I reminded her about this place. She asked if we can make a stop so she can make that same dish again. (She mentioned Hubbers might have made a request for it.) I was curious enough to go in this time. I expected it to be crowded because Sanamluang is incredibly popular. We were lucky to find the only open parking spot which happened to be right up front. This place is deceiving! Looks like a no nonsense place looking from the outside but it's pretty big once you get inside! They even have a seafood and meat section at the back. They'll also clean and fry in-store purchase fish. I did notice that most of their products are pricier compared to other Asian markets. I didn't have the need for any, so I came out empty handed. But Mom got the cut of meat she needed to make us dinner this week! Okay first stop (for me.) Being far from home, not sure when I'd come back... if the need comes up and I happen to be around, maybe...?

Located in the bustling main street of Alhambra, I've unfortunately missed the chance to go here…read moresince until recently, so I'm glad I was able to catch them when they were open. I could have sworn that they used to have more limited hours, but either way, it's a solid European market. Aside from being a market, I think they also do shipping services to Europe too if you have friends or family there. Sizeable market with lots of snacks, sweets, dried goods, some ice cream, frozen food, drinks, alcohol, cooking and baking goods, and much more. You can easily spend a good amount of time perusing the wide variety of food that they have here. Great place to get tinned fish, chocolates, or crackers and cookies or candies if you're trying to find a quick gift. My boyfriend got some alcohol and some canned goods here. I got some caramel vanilla ice cream. Reminded me of the drumstick ice cream, but creamier and less "heavy" tasting if that makes sense. A juxtaposition, I'm sure. Shop had customers come in and out the entire time, but it was never super busy. Worker was on the phone I think with other customers, but was friendly either way. Ambiance was casual, a bit aged, not super fancy, but does the job.

I was very happy to have found everything I was looking for. The shop is in Eagle Rock, so they don't have a lot of parking to offer but trust me, it's worth it if you circle a couple of times until you find a spot. This shop is actually a real gem in our community. We are fortunate they are here and I look forward to many years of getting to know more Irish products.

And I understand why you're not supposed to bring drinks inside, but hopefully security keeps an eye on them? It's disheartening when you leave something somewhere, and when you return, it's just gone. EDIT: I'm just gonna return everything I bought today. Normally, I love this grocery store, but today they made me leave my iced green tea on a table outside. I was worried somebody might do something to it, but security assured me that wouldn't happen. Of course, when I left, the table my drink was on and my drink itself were both gone. I was in the store for maybe half an hour. As far as I'm concerned, the store owes me one green tea.

No matter the name, this is my go-to spot for Japanese groceries and prepared food. The parking situation is actually pretty easy and flexible since it wraps around the entire building, so you can usually find a spot without too much hassle. Inside, the selection is great. You'll find a wide range of authentic Japanese ingredients, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals that actually taste like what you'd get in Japan. One underrated highlight is the sushi restaurant upstairs. It's legit and a great option if you want a sit-down meal after shopping. Overall, this place has been a staple for me, and it's one of those spots worth supporting. If you're looking for authentic Japanese food and groceries in the South Bay, I definitely recommend checking it out.

We went in for Menengiç Coffee and were easily able to navigate to the section, though they don't carry it. Well organized store with a lot of options.

This morning, I went to the market early and was looking for a specific cut of meat. I noticed a…read moreshort, older Korean man with gray hair standing by the meat section, so I asked him about the pork cut I wanted. I felt a wave of fear as if he might hit me. He told me they don't sell that cut here and suggested another one instead. I was considering buying the cut he mentioned, so I asked if the two cuts tasted very different. Then he trembled his lips and angrily said, "I told you, we don't have that here! Don't talk about things we don't sell!" His eyes were filled with anger. I can't tell if he has anger management issues or feels inadequate, but if he's going to treat customers like that, he should just stay inside and cut meat! His glaring eyes completely ruined my morning.I really hope they provide better training for their staff. Just because he's older, does he think he can treat customers poorly? Is this the only Korean Market in LA?
