A neighborhood convenience store that doesn't sell liquor is hard to come by in West Oakland--but…read morethen I found Cypress Grocery. It's clean. It's orderly. Their supply changes so it's not always the same stuff, but they have convenience store basics and anything you might need to last you the night/or take you through a picnic. Best of all, they don't make up all their stuff for convenience. They do also sell some smokes. Service is good. Feels wholesome and safe which is more than what most places here are like.

Its my local liquor store, its cool to grab a lotto ticket, hot cheetos, or a silver bullet (Coors light, I'm not packing). Truthfully I come here more often for tortilla chips than anything else, and have only ever bought actual liquor here. I do like that it's always clean, well stocked, and they have new refrigerators with plenty of drinks. They have a great spread of non alcoholic drinks, juices, beer and wine. They also carry It's It ice cream sandwiches, so they deserve 4 stars for sure!

They overcharge their prices to chips if they don't have the price marked on the bag, they're…read moresuppose to be $2.29 ea. He charged me $2.50 for same size bag but different brand, one was a Lays with a marked price on the bag the other Cheetos without the marked price. He charged me $5 even because I used a credit card and he said there would be a fee. So he got an extra 0.21 cents for a bag of Cheetos plus the card fee. It's not a lot of money but that is stealing (not the card fee as I knew about it) but asking for more money on a product that is universally priced the same in other stores. In every other store those chips are $2.29. NO need to do that because they have business, I see people go in there all the time. What a greedy dishonest person, says a lot about him.

A mini-mart, emphasis on mini, has been added and gas pumps updated countless times. Even so, at least one pump still has a credit card problem where you have to go into the mart, wait in line, say how much $ to add, and then return to close out and get a receipt. Such an inconvenience. I've learned to avoid that pump. Gas is cheaper than the name brands but not as cheap as Costco. Too bad it's not 25 cents anymore.
